A Sen somewhat felt strange as he walked out of the farm-dimensional room, he was unable to remember what he was going through. He felt a change in his soul. His soul felt free from the pressure and confusion he used to feel.
A Sen also looked at Joan with a different taste, he no longer felt the need to be close to Joan but there was a deep respect and also a sense of belonging as a family, he said, affection for his own sister. He did not understand but he liked the feeling.
The villagers were respectful and respectful, no envy, no envy, also the feeling is greater than others though some of them are higher than others but they all have great respect for Joan, although Joan never wanted cults but almost everyone thought of her as a Goddess in their hearts.
Joan with all her ideas and ideas has changed the face and culture of the village, from a small village, slowly but surely changed to bigger and wider, even without realizing by them that the area of Genteng village is wider than the city of Krikilan especially with the expansion towards the coastline.
Only people in Genteng village know the existence of Kersik beach. People outside the village of Genteng no one knew about it especially in the martial law that was imposed at that time to face the invasion by the troops of the soldiers of the Sky empire.
If the Sky Empire knew of the coastline owned by Genteng village, as well as the port they built at that time, it was certain that they would be more eager to seize the Genteng village.
There was not the slightest desire in the hearts of Joan and the Gentile Village Authority Body to secede and create a separate state from the Sky empire but due to the slander of the first prince, the, there was no other way for the Genteng Village Authority Agency except to defend themselves from the raid.
Preparations for the raid had been completed and they were ready to wait for the arrival of the Sky imperial army.
The spies in the capital had sent a message through the bird that they would send a million soldiers because they had heard that ten thousand soldiers under the command of General Loe Som Bong had been conquered by the The Genteng Village Authority Agency.
Lieutenant General Loe Soe Sha and eight thousand soldiers from Kubar province have also arrived, gathered together with an elite army of soldiers from general Loe Som Bong.
They built camp in front of the Harau valley.
General Loe Som Bong and the officers occupied the largest tent, the flags of their armies around the camp, flying gallantly.
News of a million soldiers from the capital moving through the provincial city of Kubar has reached the city of Krikilan, residents of the city of Krikilan once again stricken with anxiety. Some of the city's residents have already fled the area.
This large army was led directly by the first great general of the Capital who was already very experienced in many battles with other countries. This general was highly respected by General Loe Som Bong because he was a favorite student and learned a lot of battle strategies from the great general named General Wong Nge Dan.
General Wong has won many battles and has never suffered defeat. That is why the Emperor called him from the border to conquer the village of Genteng.
Actually at the time General Wong was called to conquer Genteng village, he felt extremely humiliated at thinking that the task was not worth it for him because of how the small village with a population of two thousand needed the handling of a million soldiers and was willing to refuse the task but when he heard that his favorite disciple had been defeated and general Loe Som Bong was taken captive. He immediately agreed to the assault order to free General Loe Som Bong from captivity of the Roof Tile Authority.
As the large army moved to Genteng village, from a distance they saw the big camp and thought that it was a warrior camp from Genteng village.
General Wong did not send an envoy to negotiate with the leader of Genteng village instead he himself along with how many officers directly came to the enemy camp because he did not want to underestimate the enemy who seemed meaningless.
Flag bearers waved white flagsticks as a sign that they wanted to start negotiations. The soldier of General Loe Som Bong saw the white flag stick and reported it to general Loe Som Bong.
The soldier dashed into the officer's tent, he knelt bent next to his feet and clenched both hands as a sign of respect.
"Report General, the capital's army sent a white flag stick to negotiate with us, what are we going to do".
"Alright, accept the messenger, let's go out to meet them".
The soldier stood up, general Loe Som Bong followed by Lieutenant General Loe Soe Sha and how many other officers walked out of the camp. As they saw that the soldier who was carrying the white flag staff was followed by how many people were dressed as officers behind him.
General Loe Som Bong became surprised, he quickly ran up and greeted General Wong Nge Dan, he bowed and bent one knee, clenched his hands and paid tribute to General Wong
This action was followed by Lieutenant General Loe Soe Sha and other officers who followed behind him. General Wong along with the other officers got off his horse. General Wong, who thought General Loe Som Bong was captured by the enemy, was surprised to see him pick them up.
It's an unbelievable issue, who's reporting this wrong news. That man should be punished with a head.
General Wong became very happy, he approached General Loe Som Bong and patted him on the shoulder.
"You can all stand up, thank you for welcoming me".
General Loe Som Bong and the other officers immediately stood back up. General A Bong then invited his guests to enter the officer's tent.
He allowed the great general Wong to sit in the main seat, while he sat in the seat that lay below him. The other officers sat in front of them.
"A Bong, I do not understand, I heard that you were defeated and taken captive by the enemy so that I myself came to set you free but what I saw, you look more fit than ever since we last met. What the hell's going on? Why is there no news from you so the headquarters in the capital thinks you've been defeated by the enemy".
General Wong opened their conversation in the officer's tent.
General Wong continued his words:
"I actually don't believe you can be defeated by a small village that isn't even on the map of this country".
Hearing that general Loe Som Bong felt a little embarrassed but he did not show on his face, he replied straightforwardly.
"No big general, the news is not true, instead we found something interesting in the village of Genteng, he said, that kept us from launching an attack on this village and we were indeed waiting for the arrival of a large army from the capital to show it because I heard that the great general Wong himself was assigned to lead the Sky imperial army of warriors to come to this place".
General Loe Som Bong paused for a moment, his face filled with a big smile and he continued his words.
"Actually this village was not about to rebel, they were very loyal to the Celestial empire, only someone had slandered them before the Emperor so the Emperor sent down a decree to exterminate the villagers. See what was sent as tribute from that village to us"
General Loe Som Bong immediately ordered the two officers beside him to lift a chest that looked very heavy.
They stood together, standing in front of the box. General Loe Som Bong opened the crate and took a handful of salt, handing it over to General Wong.
General Wong brought the salt closer to his mouth, tasted it.
"It's salt, where did you get it"
Salt was very expensive in the country because they had to import it from other countries because they did not have the ocean in the Sky Empire country. That was their estimate all along
"True this general is salt, Genteng village produces salt in their village".
"How is it possible, doesn't our country have no coastline".
"Well that's what attracts the general, actually we have it only we never realize it. The Genteng Village Authority Agency again discovered it when they explored the forbidden forest .
At night, tomorrow we will continue at 22:34 here, beautiful dreams and do not forget to be happy
