The Thousand Year Dynasty
06. Fighter Guild
That morning Caspian told the nobles to hold another meeting in Lucia's tent at the Upper Camp. Because this morning, he just got word from Luna about what was going on in Kotaraja.
"It is now said that the Roxan and Voryn families have succeeded in getting almost half of the influential noble families to join their coalition" Caspian explained after Lucia, Orland, Amithy, Madron, and Dirk had gathered.
"really?" Lucia hopes Caspian's words aren't true. Because if that were true, the possibility of Elbrasta going through a civil war like Estrinx was enormous.
"And it seems like tensions are starting to rise inside the city. What else resulted from the invasion of the royal soldiers into the northern forest that led to the destruction of the village Yllgarian in the forest" continued Caspian who immediately reaped uncomfortable reactions from others.
"Then what is the fate of the Yllgarians?" Lucia asked.
"No word yet is known about their whereabouts. It is likely that they escaped hiding in the forest" Caspian replied later.
"Then what are we going to do now?" I heard Dirk asking riled up.
"Obviously, it won't affect this place. At least for now. But for our position in Kotaraja, we have to start taking action from now on. Before it was too late" this time Amithy said.
"Cornelius and Constantine left two days ago for the city. Let's just wait for word from them" Orland said later.
"really. But if things go bad what should we do?" Dirk still looks riled up.
"Hopefully none of this has ever happened" said Orland, who also could not give an answer.

In the afternoon Helen met Nata to report the results of the exploration of the area that she and her knights were doing in the western region.
"Mr Nata, we found Antelope Cinder's nest in the west. Although they are the type of animals that are not too aggressive but still they are mystical animals. And because it is a nest, then most likely they will interfere with our work in the future. Or it will cause problems if we establish a settlement or anything in the region" Helen reported in great detail.
"What kind of magic does this animal have?" Tanya Nata was curious.
"They can use fire magic" Helen replied later.
"Oh, that would be a problem. Inevitably we do have to do the cleaning" said Nata later.
"True Mr. Nata" Helen agrees with Nata's decision.
"Actually I've contacted my acquaintance's fighting union to help do so. Maybe two or three more days. So how about we postpone this discussion until I get word from them"
"Okay, Mr. Nata, I understand. Let me say goodbye"

Three days earlier Nata had asked a courier to deliver a letter to Cedrik in the city of Albus. And a week later the Fire Star fighting guild came to the land of Pharos with all its members. They used 2 horse carriages, each containing 4 people and the remaining 4 people riding horses.
-
"Well, hard to believe since when did you build a bridge in the valley up ahead? And all the things that are here, are really things" Cedrik said in amazement as the twelve of them were in Nata's tent. With Helen and her two knights.
"And how do you move big things like that?" Ask Margaret.
"I saw even the great iron chariot walking without being pulled by a horse. Is that magic?" Then Ende also asked.
"The thing on the cliff wall was also how could it lift a horse carriage, without any people or animals pulling it?" The man one of the Fire Star members that Nata had not known was also looking curious.
"Quietly I can't hear it if you ask almost in unison like that"
"Oh, forgive us" said Cedrik later.
"By the way, where's Miss Lily?" Add Ende with another question.
Axel was silent at the end of the room. He seemed to be holding all his curiosity.
-
"How many Antelope are there in the nest, miss knight?" Cedric asked Helen.
"Over eight tails. But that's not certain, because we came back as soon as we found eight Antelope Cinders. Because at that time we were only five" Helen explained.
"Yes, that was the correct decision of the knight lady. Eight we can still handle. But if there is a possibility of them more than that, it will actually endanger ourselves" said Cedrik weighing.
"Unless we were accompanied by Miss Lily" said Ende suddenly.
"We'll stay with you when you clean up. We had about eleven people, including me" Helen explained her intentions.
"Well, if that's another story. We can rest easy if you and your knights take part in this cleanup" Cedrik said.
"For the payment, how much did you ask Mr. Cedrik?" Nata asked.
"The general cost of cleaning is one piece of silver per person. So to us means twelve pieces of silver"
"Well then, I also don't mind the amount of the cost. And if you want we can make a service agreement. We will give the task of handling this Pharos area specifically to the Star Fire group" Nata said later.
"Well, we're very flattered, Mr. Nata. We will see the details of the agreement after we complete this first task" Cedrik said later.
"All right then. I hand them over to you Miss Helen" Nata said.
"I see, Mr. Nata" replied Helen, bowing slightly.
Suddenly someone entered their tent looking hasty. "Oh, excuse me for interrupting, but did I hear there's going to be a cleanup of Antelope Cinder in the west?" Selene was the one who entered the tent. After accidentally he who happened to pass by heard something that caught his attention.
"True, they are fire star fighters" Nata said pointing to a group of 12 people in front of him.
"Greetings know" Selene bowed slightly towards Cedrik and his other members. They answered with a nod of their head and a wave of hands from each person.
"Why is Mr Selene?" Nata asked back.
"Can I come? I want to see the area as well as the Antelope Cinder's nest" Selene replied as she timidly said.
"Do you want to try to tame them? Are they valuable?" Ask Nata later.
"You're a tamer? Very rare" This time Cedrik said.
"True I am a tamer, and true Antelope Cinder horns are very valuable, Mr. Nata. What else is old" Selene replied.
"really?" Nata is starting to get interested.
"Oh, right too. Some famous hero bows are made from Antelope Cinder horns" said a man in a hunter's shirt. One of the Fire Star members who is also unknown to Nata.
"Does the horn contain magic just like the Mystical Hyena's horn?"
"More or less. If the Mystical Hyena horn still contains active lightning magic when made into a Tottem, while the antelope Cinder horn has a strengthening element when fire magic is used with tools made of these horns" as usual Ende took over the explanation related to magic without anyone asking.
"Well then, you can come with them, Mr. Selene" Nata said later.
"Thank you Mr. Nata" Selene bowed deeply to Nata.
"Alright then, please Miss Helen"
"Mr Selene, lord Cedrik, this way" Helen invited and led the people who were going to do the cleaning with her, to come out of Nata's tent.
