"You know him?" Glances. Xiao asked Derrick.
"Yes, she was the woman who helped me the other day in the woods when she collapsed from fighting one of the VAR members" Derrick confirmed.
"No!"
"The truth is that I helped you who almost died in the forest of magical beasts" Hera confirmed Derrick's statement.
Hera sat on the chair, then gave the royal-stamped letter to Xiao who read it immediately, Raki and Derrick also read the contents of the letter out of curiosity what letter Hera brought.
"Now I'm a member of the dark forces, greetings know everything, haha" Hera said as she ate the snacks she had brought before.
"So, welcome to my army" Xiao said, accepting Hera, although Derrick and Raki did not approve of Hera's status as a member of the dark magic knight army.
Twenty days passed quickly and boringly, there were no new missions to carry out, all the members of the dark forces were preoccupied with their respective busyness, some were shutting themselves up in the room, researching, doing their homework, making weapons, sightseeing, or making noise inside the headquarters.
"Aryan?" Derrick who was busy practicing was astonished by the arrival of Arya who was full of bandages all over his body.
"Arya you finally come home, what's with your appearance, are you cosplay mummy again?" (Attempting) Derrick asked when he arrived in front of Arya.
"Isn't it clear he was wounded and bandaged?" ask Hera inexhaustible with Derrick who said that Arya was cosplayed into a mummy.
In the hospital.
Xiao and all the members of the dark forces come to visit Varg who is reportedly in a critical condition due to the mission he is on, in fact, according to information all the northern border soldiers were killed except for 3 magic knights including Varg and Arya who managed to escape.
The Samla kingdom army led by one of the 4 great generals masterminded the attack on the northern border, they even managed to take control of the northern border.
"Aren't you on a mission to escort food supplies to the border from bandit robbery? why did it become like this?" xiao asked who was quite furious and angry to see Varg's tragic condition, his hands were severed, his eyes were missing, and his breathing was almost non-existent.
"I'll kill them." the angry Derrick left after saying, but Resi got in the way.
"Side away." asked Derrick to the obstructing Resi, but Resi refused to step aside by shaking his head with both hands stretched out blocking the exit.
"Say move!" derrick shouted furiously.
"Pacify yourself, they are the forces of the neighboring kingdom, no matter how strong you will never win against an army led by a general" said Resi ventured.
"I don't care, get out of my way." Derrick pushes Resi down, but Xiao hits Derrick.
"Clear yourself first, then talk about revenge" Xiao said with a sharp and intimidating look, Derrick could only be silently bowed.
Everyone who saw them for being interested in the commotion caused by Derrick immediately threw their faces away and acted like nothing when glimpsed by the enraged Xiao.
Closed meeting.
The king, the great general, the magic emperor, and all the magic knight commanders except Xiao and Bioa Christine held a closed meeting when they heard the news of the invasion of the Samla royal army led by a general against the northern border.
"Just let the second prince not come, let's start the meeting" said the king opening the conversation after waiting for Xiao's arrival for almost half an hour, but had not yet come to attend the meeting.
"For many years we have never been in conflict with the neighboring kingdom, but now the kingdom of Samla one of the 7 neighboring kingdoms suddenly attacked the northern border." said the great general opened the discussion of the meeting this time.
"What do you think?" he asked the magic emperor and the 5 magic commanders present with a grinning smile on his lips.
"This is clearly a declaration of war to us." opinion Semat Pitak the commander of the ground Ghost troops.
"It is not yet certain, it is possible that they do not represent the kingdom of Samla." said Clove the new commander of the army of magic knights Opoi Mileak with a unique tone and seemed arrogant.
"I mean, maybe they're Samla's royal rebels trying to pit us" he added.
Everyone looks at each other in response to these opinions which are considered quite reasonable.
"They have obviously carried out attacks on us on the orders of the king of Samla, especially our relationship with them is not good lately" the general responded.
"General...,"
Debate for the sake of debate occurred between them, some argue the Samla kingdom waged war with them, some argue it was a sheepfight.
"Your Majesty give your decision in response to this." ask the magic emperor to the king and stop the debate that is still continuing.
"From the beginning you were silent, now you are asking for a noble decision, absolutely no manners to the king's majesty" said the great general displeased to the magic emperor.
"What did you say?" the general let out his aura, the magic emperor also did the same.
"That's enough!" the king shouted to stop the two men.
"You send troops and surround the northern border, and you send representatives to the king of Samla and question what it means to invade the northern border" the king ordered the great general and also the magic emperor.
"Understand your majesty!" the two men answered obediently, and the meeting was finally dissolved after the king left the meeting room.
The great general also left after giving a sharp look to the magic emperor as well as the commanders present in the meeting room.
"As usual, he doesn't like us" Clove said with a chuckle, all the commanders agreed on the opinion.
"You go and ask the king of Samla about this matter, go out today." the magic emperor ordered Cloves, and then left.
"Good, carry it out." Cloves accepted the mission with a sly smile.

"So why don't we just kill that stupid magic emperor?" ask the great general to king Hans.
"It can't, he's too strong, killing him requires a lot of manpower and also soldiers" King Hans said.
"Yes, it is indeed difficult." the great general commented in response.

The magic emperor was currently in a secret room in his study room as a magic emperor, before him was seen someone wearing VAR robes.
"Why did you stop the murder of Ranzi's prince, Vasya?" ask the magic emperor to the person.
"I came here on Mr. Angga's orders to invite you to a VAR emergency meeting, but you instead discussed the matter of prince Ranzi" Vasya said in response to an emotional question from the magic emperor.
"Forget over killing prince Ranzi, he's not a threat and he's innocent of the son of a bitch's sin" he said.
"Why? if he is left alive, then he has the potential to become a threat in the future." denied the magic emperor, Vasya laughed out loud, then disappeared in the dark.
"If that's the case just do as you like, but never tell the members of the VAR, it will interfere with the purpose of Mr. Angga" Vasya echoed in the room.

Brak!
The door of the magic emperor's study room was kicked to shreds by Xiao who showed an angry expression, the magic emperor who was thinking how to kill prince Ranzi without the help of VAR was made shocked by Xiao's actions.
"Sister, let me handle the northern border." Xiao asked without further ado to the magic emperor, since he had previously seen thousands of capital troops moving towards the border, eastern and western border troops are also reported to be moving towards the northern border.
"Just ask your brother" said the magic emperor without turning to look at Xiao and busy working and signing the papers.
"The king told me to ask you if I wanted to join the war, so I came here" Xiao said.
"It's not like you sister, first without asking our opinion you do whatever you like, you are very different after all these years" said the magic emperor.
"Forgot that brother, give me permission to go to the northern border." Xiao was impatient, the magic emperor approved and gave a special mission letter as it concerned the two kingdoms.
"Thank you." Xiao took the mission letter and left the magic emperor room.
Moments later the mission chief who takes care of all the incoming and completed missions in the magic knight department comes to face.
"His highness a villager from the village near the border of the capital and the magical beast forest said that he found a secret place that was allegedly the headquarters of the VAR organization."
"What should we do? do we have to send in magic knights or troops?"
The magic emperor was shocked to hear the exposure of the mission chief, he never expected the VAR headquarters to be discovered by ordinary citizens.
"Why are you confused? just send this mission to the magic knight army that you think is appropriate to ascertain the information first, if it is the VAR headquarters, then come to me to discuss sending troops, you fool!" said the magic emperor in an angry tone, not angry at the head of the blunder mission, but angry that the headquarters of the VAR organization was found.
"B-good noble one.," the mission chief was frightened and immediately left before the enraged magic emperor.
