The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 207 IS A STORY ABOUT CHAIRMAN CAROLUS
Meanwhile, the state of nature changed a little.
As if understanding that the battle was over, the dark sky no longer spewed heavy rain. Now it's just spouting a little drizzle rain.
But the dark gray clouds still wrapped the sky tightly. Until the natural conditions are still dim and increasingly dim. Because it seems to have entered the twilight.
Meanwhile Dhafin and 4 colleagues were already in one place among the thousands of corpses lying. Four steps ahead of them already stood the chairman and some of his elite champions who had just arrived.
"I send a lot of thanks for your help in defeating the palace forces" said the chief, who paid his respects. His attitude and language are very polite.
"It doesn't take much of civilization, sir," Dhafin said as if representing his 4 companions to speak. "We should as one group help each other."
His attitude was so calm full of courtesy and high respect. His language is so soft.
After that, they introduced themselves to each other. The chairman introduced himself and 5 reliable champions who stood behind him.
Also introduced was a woman who was almost his age who stood to his right as well as a man who was also almost the same age who stood to his left.
The 55-year-old was named Chairman Carolus, the head of an opposition group based in the far southwestern corner of the Amerta Kingdom.
While the old woman who was about 53 years old but still looked beautiful it turned out to be the wife of Chairman Carolus and named Lady Garvita.
An old man of about 50 years old was the younger sister of Lady Garvita and named Mr. Andonios.
After that it was Dhafin's turn to introduce himself. Because he seems to be appointed as a speaker, then he alone speaks. He introduced all four of his friends.
Actually Lord Andonios and the 3 champions who were behind Chairman Carolus, since seeing Dhafin and Gibson, they felt as if they were no strangers to the stature of the two young men. It's like they know both.
So when Dhafin introduced his name and the name Gibson, they became convinced that they knew both.
Actually Chairman Carolus was quite curious about the five young men and was eager to ask them about this. But since it was soon night, he put it off first.
After introductions and chatting for a while, the chairman finally invited Dhafin and his colleagues to visit his place, more precisely to his headquarters.
Surely Dhafin and his four friends did not reject the offer. Moreover, one of their missions in this kingdom to know the groups that oppose the power of Princess Rayna and King Adrian.
★☆★☆
The location of Chairman Carolus' headquarters turned out to be at the top of a hill that is quite high and overgrown with trees that are so dense.
Access to get there is not easy. It must pass through a steep ravine that is 30 spears wide. Not to mention having to pass through a dangerous trap set not far around the ravine.
There was not a single road or bridge that ran over the ravine. So that anyone who wants to go across the ravine must jump over the abyss. And it's not easy.
As for Chairman Carolus and all his troops, if they want to go in and out of the headquarters or go down the hill, they go through a secret path known only by the chairman and his people.
Dhafin and his four associates entered the headquarters through the street with the chairman and the people who accompanied him earlier.
Once at the headquarters, because it was already night, then the five handsome young men were entertained for dinner in a special room.
Of course the banquet was not just an ordinary dinner banquet. The banquet was interspersed with specific talk.
Because before the banquet, Dhafin told him that he was going to talk about something important to Chairman Carolus.
Hence Chairman Carolus held a dinner banquet with the five young men in a special room. Who was present at the banquet besides himself, only his wife, his sister-in-law and some of the leaders' confidants.
At the beginning of the conversation Chairman Carolus told that he and his wife, Mrs Garvita had a martial arts college.
Chairman Carolus as the Head Teacher, while Lady Garvita as the Companion Master who led the female disciples.
There was another Companion Master who led the male disciples. But the teacher had been killed when their college clashed with Princess Rayna's forces 6 years ago.
Princess Rayna had not yet overthrown King Darian Cashel.
Rayna's daughter forces Chief Carolus to join her in overthrowing King Darian Cashel.
But Chairman Carolus and all his men refused firmly. Finally there was a clash between the two camps.
To make the stronghold of Chairman Carolus lost the clash which caused half of his students to be killed, which caused his Companion Master to also be killed in the event.
Luckily he and his wife managed to evacuate some of their students. But the unfortunate fate still befell Chairman Carolus and his wife. Their first child or son must also be killed in the event.
However they managed to save their second son and youngest daughter.
Long story short, after searching for quite a long time, they finally found this strategic hill and was headquartered at the top of the hill.
Until it happened in the Kingdom of Amerta almost 4 years ago. It was a rebellion by the Son of Rayna and Prince Adrian who were now both tyrannical rulers of the kingdom.
Lord Andonius apparently managed to save about 7,000 more troops. And not for quite some time managed to join his brother-in-law at this headquarters.
Chairman Carolus said that the total number of troops before the battle was about 30,000 more.
The force was a combination of rescued disciples of Chairman Carolus, the Palace Special Forces, and young men from several villages who became new disciples.
As a result of the battle earlier this afternoon that caused him to almost lose, his troops were killed at that time about 5,000 personnel. Previously his troops who participated in the war numbered about 10,000 personnel.
While the palace troops at that time totaled more than 22,000, including palace champions.
Fortunately, Dhafin and his four colleagues arrived just in time. The chairman and his troops along with Dhafin Cs managed to turn things around. It even managed to kill all the palace troops following its commander.
This is as it has been spoken before.
★☆★☆
After telling about the history of the establishment of his headquarters on the top of this hill, also tell about the chronology of why he and his troops to clash with the palace troops.
Chairman Carolus' turn to ask about some things to Dhafin Cs that made him curious since.
Who exactly are these people? Why by suddenly helping his army against the palace army? Do they also have grudges with the palace people?
So Dhafin replied that they were actually among the elite knights of the Centauri Palace in the Kingdom of the Miracle Country.
They came to this Amerta Kingdom in order to carry out some secret missions.
One of them is to find out the existence of groups that oppose Princess Rayna. Continue to invite them to cooperate in order to overthrow the illegitimate power of Princess Rayna.
After that handed back the legitimate power of the Kingdom of Amerta to King Darian who is still alive.
When he heard Dhafin say that His Majesty King Darian was still alive, how happy Chairman Carolus and his people were in that special room.
They thought King Darian had died with his family when a bloody event occurred almost 4 years ago. Because after that bloody incident they no longer heard from His Majesty.
After that Chief Carolus and his team never again appeared in the crowded world. Including Mr. Andonios.
Because they did not go out into the crowded world, so they did not know that His Majesty the King and his family were imprisoned in the dungeon.
Certainly not knowing that Dhafin and his colleagues who have managed to save King Darian with his family.
Then Lord Andonius asked with great curiosity, where is King Darian now?
So Dhafin said briefly that King Darian is now in Centauri Palace and in good health. Also tell about 5 of his confidants who are still with His Majesty.
Do not forget to tell about exiting His Majesty with the others who are also still alive and are in the Centauri Palace as well.
They were all imprisoned in a dungeon. Then Dhafin and his colleagues managed to save them which in the end they all secured in Centauri Palace.
Including the one who saved His Majesty, even leading the rescue mission directly was Queen Aurellia, Queen of Centauri Palace.
When Dhafin mentioned the name of Queen Aurellia, then Lady Garvita asked in a guessing tone.
"Did you mean Grand Princess Aurellia, the daughter of Her Majesty, Lord Dhafin?"
"True, Mrs Garvita," said Dhafin.
Then Dhafin briefly explained why Queen Aurellia could become the ruler at the Centauri Palace. Starting from the disappearance of the queen along with others mysteriously in the past few years.
This includes the disappearance of Brian and Gibson and others in the same year.
After Dhafin recounted some important events that occurred in the past, as well as informing the missions of Centauri Palace, then Chairman Carolus was happy to welcome Dhafin's cooperation.
And that's exactly what Chairman Carolus' goal is why he's amassing so many troops. It was to overthrow the illegitimate power of Princess Rayna. And return the reins of power of the Amerta Kingdom to the more entitled.
They did not consider King Adrian to be entitled to the Kingdom of Amerta even though he was either the Grand Prince or the Crown Prince.
More entitled to the reins of the Kingdom of Amerta was Prince Brian after His Majesty King Darian died or abdicated.
Discussions on important issues continued to take place at some point after the completion even though they had already finished a large meal.
Meanwhile time just kept crawling slowly but surely. While the night is getting late.
