Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
The Party After Victory
"The enemy numbered 10,000 and they were exhausted. Miss Marina, what should we do? Should we let them surrender?"
Rena was very worried when she heard the news that the Boabdil army had reached the gates of Pesa. They looked extremely exhausted and were not ready for battle at all. From any point of view, they will lose.
"If possible, I want them to just give up and give Boabdil and Hans heads instead. But you know it yourself, Rena. They were fanatics who would do anything for Boabdil to the point of the final blood.
"I've persuaded military commanders to grant them an ultimatum to surrender and guarantee their safety and rights under Heinz's royal laws. They've given it. But look, they're not even moving at all."
If they could, Marian and Rena would not want to see their race lose their lives let alone at the hands of the Heinz kingdom. But this is a task they have to do.
From the walls of Pesa, they witnessed how crazy the battle and the ferocity of war, no, the slaughter of natural enemies.
They became easy targets of the magic cannons, magic rifles, and magic itself released by the Heinz royal army. Pieces of body, blood, and internal organs, scattered on the ground.
After the bombardment was over, the infantry, which consisted of beastmen armed with gauntlets, finally confronted Boabdil's army. Just like the enemy, they were also elite Soldiers who trained hard and disciplined.
But unlike sporadic enemy movements, they are very disciplined and organized. A clash between two large armies ensued. The exhausted Boabdil army could not match the very fresh Heinz kingdom army.
Fists from the gauntlets, cries of pain, and cries filled the sky. In a short time, Boabdil's army began to be desperate. Quickly, they were eliminated.
The direction of the war had changed when Boabdil intervened. But no matter how strong he was, it was impossible to deal with thousands of trained and disciplined beastmen. In the end, he was severely injured and fainted.
"Miss Marina, the enemy commander has fainted and most of the enemy soldiers have also been killed. The rest, they surrendered and were made prisoners of war."
"Good, Rena. Finally the battle is over. More than this, we will only inflict unnecessary casualties. Now, please give this letter to the commander. After that, follow me to the palace of Pesa. From now on, we have a lot to do."
Rena hurriedly sent the message Marina wrote to the war commander who led this assault operation. Meanwhile, Rena's communication device that Marina was borrowing blinked a few times. Issac tried to contact him.
"Congratulations on what you've done, Marina. Since this is a covert operation, I can't give you the award medal. But take it easy, hundreds of kegs of beer and milk, hundreds of boxes of meat, bread, cheese and other food are being shipped through Versailles.
"Please party as you please. There is no need to worry about the remaining forces on the Chrome. The royal army of Heinz will sweep them from the southeast of Garlin. I'll be there when all the business at Venz is done. See you later, Marina."
Marina decided not to bother and decided to write an official report that she would send to Issac. Perhaps Issac did not need it, but Marina felt that this was necessary.

The next night, a massive boom was held in the capital of the Garlin kingdom, Pesa. The soldiers fused with the townspeople and danced and sang together. A huge bonfire raged in the middle of the town square.
'The 'gift' that Issac promised from Versailles has come. Marina also took out excess reserves from the warehouses in Garlan and distributed them to the community in Pesa.
Marina and Rena are having dinner at Pesa's palace. Just the two of them. Two bottles of wine of the highest quality have been served. Along with cheese and a very special luxury roasted steak.
"Thanks to Miss Marina, Mr. Issac's work became a little lighter. As the staff of Mr. Issac, I would like to thank you for this help."
Marina pokes her grilled steak with a fork and cuts it off with a knife and eats it. It tastes so delicious. The sauce used in this steak feels very fitting with its texture and level of maturity.
"No need to thank. To be honest, I want this too. There is still something to be done between myself and Boabdil. That's why, despite being heavy, I gladly took on this task."
Rena smiled hearing that and continued her dinner. The two of them had not spent time like this. They were childhood friends. Although the two of them were different parties before, their relationship recovered when they became part of the kingdom.
"Mr Issac authorized Miss Marina to take care of Boabdil. Miss Marina was released to do anything to that man."
Marina pours the wine into the glass of the two of them and raises the glass.
"I can take care of it later. Tonight, let's have a drink. Toast."
"Reply, miss Marina."
Ting. Two glasses touched and they drank together. Tonight, they decided to reminisce. Tomorrow, the revitalization in Garlin is about to begin.
