The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 223 PLAN OF ATTACK OF THE ROYAL FORCES OF GENGKARA
Through the Gate of Light portal, Dhafin and his 3,000-plus troops easily and quickly reached Tolucan Village.
Please note that the location of the village is on the plateau behind Tolucan Hill.
Once they got there, the village where Princess Atahlia grew up was already flattened to the ground. It means that the place has become a very large courtyard.
It is no longer appropriate to be called a village because there are no more buildings standing on the plateau. None of the people or troops were there.
What happened at that place before? Where is that village?
Where are the inhabitants? Has the army of 30,000 more personnel been destroyed by the Lengkara troops?
But why aren't their bodies scattered in this place? Not even the traces of battle existed, at all. Even the village of Tolucan was like vanished swallowed by the earth.
Various kinds of thoughts stopped in the minds of Dhafin and his fellow believers. All sorts of allegations. But they can't be sure what exactly happened.
But they agreed on one thing that Tolucan Village could be lost due to supernatural forces or magic that eliminates it.
Who lost it is still uncertain.
Then without much thought Brian immediately told some elite knights to check the situation around. This was on the instructions of Dhafin.
But they have been combing around the place for a long time, do not get any clear information about the disappearance of thousands of troops.
Then soon they left the place by going down the hill. They take the usual journey, although still using the science of lightening the body.
They mean to do so in the middle of the journey who knows to meet something or someone who can testify.
And it's true. When the small army almost reached the foot of the hill, they met with about 600 more knights or elite champions of the Tolucan Village army.
The small force was led by Princess Athalia's younger brother, Prince Gerald.
Initially, when they met each other, there was tension between the two camps. But when Prince Gerald and some of his troops saw Dhafin, he immediately stopped his troops who were on alert to attack.
Likewise with Dhafin, when he saw the small army turned out to be Prince Gerald and the knights of Tolucan Village, immediately stopped his troops who were also on combat alert.
Not long after, the tension that had occurred soon disappeared quickly. Then Prince Gerald and his troops immediately knelt down giving impeachment to Dhafin.
While the troops who participated with Dhafin, seeing the impeachment of Prince Gerald and his troops so high to Dhafin, increasingly made them feel amazed and increasingly put a high sense of reverence as well.
They did not expect that Dhafin was already widely known by great people such as Prince Gerald and his troops.
After that Dhafin immediately introduced Prince Gerald and his troops to his colleagues who joined him. And Dhafin also introduced his troops to Prince Gerald.
Especially Dhafin introduced Prince Aziel to them that Prince Aziel was the Grand Prince, the original heir of the Kingdom of Lengkara. In other words Prince Aziel was their future king.
Then Dhafin ordered them to pay their respects to their future king.
Hearing Dhafin's words, without a doubt Prince Gerald and his troops immediately believed. Because they do put their full trust in Dhafin and his leadership of them.
Prince Gerald and his army immediately knelt in tribute to Prince Aziel.
Of course Aziel initially seemed to not accept the honor. More precisely not worth accepting. Continue to explain that Dhafin is the current supreme leader. He deserves to be respected like a leader.
But Dhafin explained again that most of the population or troops in Tolucan Village came from the Kingdom of Lengkara. Aziel deserves the respect of them as his people.
Dhafin is the general leader. More precisely including the ruler who also heads the Kingdom of Lengkara.
After being explained by Dhafin at length, Aziel was finally able to accept it. By the record, Aziel accepted being made their leader, but his leadership was under the leadership of Prince Ghavin aka Dhafin.
Everyone understood Aziel's intentions, including Dhafin. And he agreed with Aziel's statement. Prince Gerald and his army also agreed.
That way finished the problem of Prince Aziel's inauguration as the leader of the people of Tolucan Village.
★☆★☆
Then Dhafin immediately asked Prince Gerald, why did the village of Tolucan disappear just like that? Where was taken?
With respect Prince Gerald explained that Tolucan Village was moved to Centauri Palace 2 days ago.
Hearing that explanation, Dhafin and his 9 colleagues immediately understood his point. Of course the village was moved by the magicians of Centauri Palace.
Then Prince Gerald continued his explanation that because the village was moved to avoid clashing with the Lengkara Kingdom troops who would attack the village. Because the kingdom already knows the location of the headquarters.
"Then, where is the royal army now?" tanya Dhafin wanted to know. "Have you gone home because you didn't meet their target of operations?"
"Not yet, Your Majesty," said Prince Gerald pitched and behaved in reverence. "We estimate, if they will come here, 1-2 more days of riding they will reach the foot of Tolucan Hill."
Actually Dhafin was a little suspicious about what Prince Gerald said 'if they were going to come here'. But he didn't want to question it.
"How much is their power?" ask Dhafin again.
"About 50,000 more personnel, Your Honor," said Prince Gerald again. "It includes palace champions who number around thousands."
In his heart he praised the swift movements of Prince Gerald and his troops in the face of this problem.
"In addition to you and your troops, are there any other troops from Tolucan Village?" ask Dhafin.
"No more, Your Majesty," said Prince Gerald. "All were taken to Centauri Palace. We're the only ones standing guard in this place."
"Just...."
"What's all, Prince?" ask Dhafin quickly.
Then Prince Gerald explained that in a place there is a group of troops whose number is about thousands of personnel are concentrating.
Then Prince Gerald explained the location of the place is quite detailed, where the place is about half a day longer riding from Tolucan Hill.
Prince Gerald also added that it could be that the palace troops will pass through the place of the group of troops, or even will attack them.
Finally Dhafin understood what Prince Gerald meant that had disturbed his mind earlier.
Apparently the palace troops have 2 targets. If not for Tolucan Village, they will attack the place of the group of troops.
Dhafin wanted to go to that place. He then conveyed his wish to his troops.
Of course they welcomed him with pleasure.
So soon, Dhafin and his army left the slopes of Tolucan Hill towards the place where a group of troops said Prince Gerald.
Of course they went there through the portal of the Gate of Light....
★☆★☆
The destination turned out to be a plain in the middle of a fairly dense forest. About 2 miles from there are two cliffs high enough. Both cliffs flank the road that stretches wide enough.
As usual, the two sides have not known each other before. There must be some tension between them.
It was not long after Dhafin introduced himself as Prince Ghavin Aldebaran. Plus he showed his Sign Necklace that he was indeed a Grand Prince.
It turned out that the army of thousands knew who Prince Ghavin was. The prince is the ruler of 3 kingdoms. It was as the priest and fortune teller had told them.
And so immediately the troops who seemed like a group of knights were immediately kneeling to pay their respects as they should honor the supreme ruler.
While Dhafin cannot help but receive such respect.
After that Dhafin introduced the knights who were with him. Especially introducing Prince Aziel as a candidate for King of the Kingdom of Lengkara.
And the formidable army again took it for granted, and immediately paid homage to Aziel as Prince Gerald and his troops did while on the slopes of Tolucan Hill.
While Prince Aziel also stated as his statement while on the slopes of Tolucan Hill earlier.
After that Dhafin asked the number of troops.
So it was answered by a rather old man, one of the elders of the team. He explained that the number of their troops is about 7,000 more personnel.
Actually they are not based in this place he said again. They were in this place with the aim of intercepting the palace troops that were like heading somewhere.
They suspected that the palace troops were going to head to Bentala Kingdom with the intention to attack.
While all opposition groups in the Kingdom of Lengkara have established cooperation with King Revan, King of Bentala Kingdom. So they are obliged to prevent the palace troops.
While Dhafin and 9 colleagues, hearing the information, they felt, happy. Apparently King Revan did his duty as king well.
There is one thing to know about why all the troops did not question about Dhafin not being king in Bentala Kingdom. King Revan is the half-brother of Dhafin.
Please note that all the troops already consider Dhafin as the true ruler of 3 kingdoms; Bentala Kingdom, Amerta Kingdom, and Lengkara Kingdom. So, they don't have to wonder anymore about it.
After listening to some important information and information about the royal army, Dhafin told his troops that he wanted to attack the palace troops with the number of troops that exist now.
The call of Dhafin was of course immediately greeted with joy by those who were indeed war-willed.
They were strong knights who had great courage. There is no doubt about their greatness.
And Dhafin is very optimistic to face the troops of the Kingdom of Lengkara with them.
So no need to wait long, Dhafin and his troops immediately negotiated about how their strategy and strategy in fighting against the palace forces.
Please note that in total they lose. Therefore they must concoct a precise strategy of war and execute a proper combat strategy.
If they were careless in arranging tactics and strategies in war, even though they were great, it was likely that they would be bulldozed by the palace troops.
