Alan and the squad leader looked at each other face to face. They both call each other the same name.
"Stop... Why are you two fighting?" Freya asked Alan and the commanding officer.
"You know him?" Alan and the man simultaneously pointed at each other.
Hearing the two can be very compact, Freya just laughed amusedly. The two looked at each other again because they could compactly ask the same question to Freya.
"As... Introduce the... It's Zane. Leader of the revolutionary forces. Zane... This is the US, my friend from Middlemist village." Freya introduces Alan and Zane to each other.
"Revolutionary forces?" Alan tilted his head in a sign of confusion.
"Really... We are a revolutionary army that wants to take over the government from King Robert." Answer Zane.
"Why did you attack me?"
"We have been informed that the royal mines have been taken. We came here to help defend the mine."
"But I'm still confused. Why am I your target?"
"The information we received was that the Kingdom sent adventurer Guilds to retake the mine. We also thought you were part of the adventurer Guild. "
"Oh... You mean the Heart King Guild."
"Yes... Maybe it's... Then where are they? Are they not here yet?"
"I've sent them back to their base." Alan replied casually as he raised his hand.
"You? Alone?"
"Yup.." alan just nodded.
Zane's mouth was immediately wide open. If his chin could come off it would have been separated from earlier. He was surprised Alan could face a single troop alone.
"You probably won't believe Zane. I was too. But both my eyes testified, the U. S. took out the troops alone." Freya added.
"I'm sorry for this misunderstanding?" Zane, aware of Alan's ability, apologized. He and his army were lucky to only get a small wound and fall asleep while fighting with Alan.
"No problem... How about we continue chatting somewhere else. I'm sure the royal army won't stay silent to see the mines taken."
Zane nodded and followed Alan. He walks with Freya behind Alan.
"Why didn't you come from earlier, it's a good thing my troops didn't finish him off." Whisper Zane slowly while elbowing Freya's hand.
"I also just found out that the troops that came were you." Reply to Freya in a whisper.
Alan only chuckled at the whispers of the two people behind him.
Alan and Zane sit on Lily's dining table. Alan did not know of any other place in South Hill Village that could be trusted. Alan was afraid if there were eyes from the kingdom and reported to the kingdom. So Alan had to take Zane to Lily's house. While the other revolutionary forces Zane ordered to guard the mine area.
On the way to Lily's house, Zane tells her that she is Arwen's adopted daughter, Freya's father. Zane was found by Arwen alone in the woods when Zane was a child. Arwen takes Zane home and takes care of him to the big. Zane and Freya grew up together like brothers.
Zane was a human, not a Wood Elf. Arwen and Freya think of Zane as their own brother. When the Wood Elves are hunted. Zane decided to join the revolutionary forces. He promises Arwen and Freya will find a way out of the Wood Elf hunting problem.
Arriving at Lily's house, Alan was shocked. Because Ole and Zane know each other. It turned out that the one who gave information about the mine had been captured to Zane was Ole.
"Children will never be suspected as eyes." Alan's inner self praised Ole's bravery.
Based on Zane's information, the revolutionary forces numbered about 2000 and spread throughout the kingdom. Zane was the leader of the southern revolutionary forces. For its main leader to be in the Capital.
Zane had also never met the main leader. But the main leader has always provided financial assistance for the revolutionary forces to survive all this time.
The revolutionary forces have always tried to reduce the power of the kingdom by stealth. However, due to the outnumbered and the lack of assistance. The development of the revolutionary forces was static. That is why Zane immediately deployed his troops to protect the captured mine. Because I feel this is a golden opportunity to reduce the power of the kingdom.
Losing an iron ore mine will certainly have a huge impact on the kingdom. The kingdom will not be able to produce weapons anymore without raw materials from the mine.
By stopping production of royal weapons. The kingdom certainly will not be able to increase the number of troops significantly in the event of a major war. Surely the revolutionary forces will be greatly helped by this.
"alright... Now what are your plans to defend the mine? I'm sure the royal army will arrive tomorrow or the day after." Ask Alan to Zane.
"We're guarding the mine. We're gonna finish off the royal army there."
"Easy then?" Alan was amazed by Zane's way of thinking.
"Yes... I'm sure we can finish them off."
Brakes...
Alan immediately hit the table in the middle of the room. The table until it shook and everyone was immediately shocked and looked towards Alan. Alan's eyes were sharply staring at Zane. It's like Alan was eating Zane.
"Listen zane... You think the Royal army will be that easy to defeat?" Jerky Alan.
"You think the Royal army came unprepared?"
"We can use it your way... But how many victims will fall?"
"You want to see your friend die?"
Zane and everyone were silent. Everything Alan said was true. If now they do not think carefully about the plan. There are only casualties from both sides.
"alright... You're correct... Then what's your plan?" Zane asked with a slightly pale face.
"Does anyone have a map?" Alan asked everyone.
Alan could have asked the joker to display a map of South Hill and its surroundings. But the only one who could see the map was him. Alan needs to explain it to everyone.
Everyone shakes their mark they have no map. Alan patted his own eel. "It is just as fitting that the development of the static revolutionary forces." Inner Alan.
"Sorry, miss lily? Can I use mom's desk?" Ask Alan to Lily.
Lily just nodded. He was still confused what Alan would do with his wooden dining table.
'Joker... Show map of South Hill and surrounding areas! Complete with explanation!'
[Scanning station. Searching for data in the system. Data clarification. Map shown.]
Alan instantly used his dagger to draw a map of South Hill and its surroundings on Lily's wooden table.
Lily was flabbergasted after seeing the results of Alan's image. The wooden table that was once plain, is now engraved in the village of South Hill and surrounding areas.Alans carving on the wooden table is really smooth and neat.
Clara, Freya, Zane and oOe were also no less surprised. They did not expect Alan to be able to memorize with the South Hill area and its surroundings. Zane was most surprised. He has been around the village several times. But it can't get as memorized as Alan. Those who do not know if Alan only copied the map displayed by the Joker.
finished carving the table, Alan explained his war strategy to everyone there. Alan asked for data on the revolutionary forces that Zane led. Alan shared the task in detail with everyone. Anything to do and not to do. The task that Alan gave was in accordance with the data provided by Zane. Everyone gets a job according to their ability.
Alan dyes the engraving to explain the area that should have been used in his plan. Alan chose the area of trees before entering the village as his place.
Attacking an opponent can make the opponent lose focus on their plan.
Alan asks Zane to stay hidden until Alan calls. The Royal Army did not yet know that the revolutionary forces would take part in the war. They only know Alan and his friends.
Zane initially refuses, but after Alan explains the benefits of the plan, Zane agrees.
Alan's explanation was clearly and easily understood. Zane also admitted, himself as the leader of the southern revolutionary forces can not be as good as Alan in making war strategy.
Finished dividing the task during the war, Alan divided the task for preparation.
Clara, Freya, and Zane frowned at Alan's overwhelming request. Even the explanation during the war is not as long as the explanation for preparation.
"Why should we dig a hole?" Ask Zane.
"Just do everything I ask. You'll know for yourself." Answer Alan with a brush.
"Is there anything you want to ask me about all this?" Alan asked to make sure everyone understood the war strategy and preparation plan.
Everyone shakes.
"Good... We do each other's jobs." The command from Alan instantly made everyone move. Alan too, there are many things he must prepare.
Until night Alan prepares the necessities for tomorrow. Starting from making Red Iron Spark, installing crystal links, making traps. Not to forget also Alan checked the work of his friend.
Alan said goodbye to return to the real world, and promised to come back tomorrow morning. Alan believed the royal army was still on its way, so it was impossible to attack at night.
Alan does activities usually in the real world until night. He returned to New World after dinner.
"US Brother... You're back..." Alan's alarm went off again, Clara's voice.
"Yes... How's preparations?" Ask Alan without further ado.
"All are ready in position. Just stay U. S. Brother."
"Good... I'm going straight there."
Alan immediately moved into the forest where they would ambush the royal forces. By hiding in a tree, Alan observed the path that is usually used to pass through this forest.
"US Brother... They're coming..."
"Good... How many are they?"
Clara was silent for a while. He signifies he is counting.
"More than 1000 feet..."
"1000?"
