The Thousand Year Dynasty
03. The Southern Mainland
"Finally!" amithy said as soon as he entered Pietro's bar.
"Mrs Amithy?" Nata was surprised to find Amithy who came suddenly in a hurry.
"I was looking for you at Lucia's place, they said you were here" Amithy said.
"We are discussing the issue of alcoholic beverages with Mr. Dirk and Mr. Pietro" Lucia replied later.
At the bar that was still closed, it was Aksa, Nata, Lucia, Rafa, Dirk, and Pietro who were sitting at a large table at the end of the room. While Seigfried was sweeping the floor, Luna was tidying up some drinks in place.
Soon Amithy sat between Dirk and Pietro. Then raised his hand to look at Luna who was behind the bartender's desk. Which then responded to Luna with a nod, which indicates she understood Amithy was asking for a glass of drink.
"So what do you want to talk about until you have to find us here and there?" Lucia asked.
"I just got word from Mateus, that the Urbar kingdom had taken control of the Holy Land" said Amithy then after he finished sipping a drink that had just been delivered by Seigfried.
"Oh, really?" Dirk looked surprised.
"really. Now Urbar's position is higher than the other two kingdoms" Amithy said again. "And they asked the other two kingdoms to recognize Urbar as a holy kingdom" he added later.
"Well, that's something you're looking for" Aksa said.
"It seems there will be another war between the three of them" this time Rafa said.
"Means we have to get ready soon" said Nata who looks worried.
"Do you think the kingdom will attack us, after this?" Lucia asked who sounded as worried as Nata.
"How long has the war been going on, Miss Amithy?" Instead of answering Lucia's question, Nata asked Amithy instead.
"Since these eight years" replied Amithy quickly.
"It means either they have found a hero, or they have got a powerful weapon" Aksa said later.
"meaning?" It sounds like everyone does not understand the meaning of Aksa's words.
"really. That's because the war has been going on for a long time, and it just ended today. So most likely, during this time the three kingdoms have balanced power" Nata began to explain.
"And if there is now a winner of the war, then it is clear that the winner has the power that surpasses the other two kingdoms" he added.
"Turning again, means either they find a hero, or they get a dasyat weapon" said Aksa once again.
"According to Mateus, they did use mystical weapons to outperform other kingdoms" Amithy said later after a second gulp of the drink.
"Is such a weapon difficult to obtain? Why don't all the kingdoms have it?" Nata asked again. To ensure.
"really. Mystic weapons are hard to come by. That's because, it's been a long time since the Realn clan did not make mystical weapons for outsiders. After the Black Fire war was over" explained Rafa who sat slightly behind Aksa.
"So the number of mystic weapons depends on the surname Realn?" Nata asked again
"Not really. Three-quarters of all mystic weapons in the world are made by the clan Realn. But clans like the Nautua and Vaelum, they also made mystical weapons, although they were not deliberately made as a weapon. But it is still quite dasyat when used on the battlefield" Rafa explained. "Even not a few of the Rhafie and Briefir clans, which also make weapons that look unique and strange" he added later.
"So those mystic weapons were made by the Elves?"
"Lately, Arcane stone surname Aeron is also often used as a base material to make mystical weapons by human craftsmen" replied Rafa again. "Well, though not as powerful as the mystical weapons made by the Elves" he later followed.
"And also the weapons have levels" said Aksa added information from Rafa.
"really. The weapon had the same level of strength as a mystic beast. It's just that mystic weapons have something to their level" Rafa continued with his explanation.
"Oh, so isn't it one level or two?"
"No. Have you ever heard of Strum?" Rafa looks to make sure.
"That's a nickname for Val" Nata said.
"really. That's the level of making weapons. And that's how the power level of the mystical weapon is called" Rafa searched for a moment. And then continue with the explanation. "Strum, the first. The second, Dulcis. Third one, Arco. And the last one is called Pizzica" he concluded.
"Is it possible that Scion's bracelets are also their behavior?" This time Aksa asked.
"Maybe it could be them" said Nata with a bright look staring at the table in front of him. As if thinking of something.
"Back to my question, Nat" said Lucia who seemed a little annoyed already ignored by Nata.
"So princess, that kingdom has great power now. And that great power was very tempting to use. Then what do you think will happen if the kingdom has succeeded in conquering two neighboring kingdoms?" Said Nata who also looks annoyed with Lucia's attitude.
"We're third neighbors" this time Dirk said.
"Yes, that's what I'm afraid of" Amithy added.
"It's very dangerous if they have that kind of power. Then it'll be our turn soon" Nata told Lucia.
"True" said Aksa added. Which seems he is warming up Lucia who still looks annoyed at Nata.
"Therefore we must immediately prepare the defense for this city" Nata said again, who was still staring at Lucia. "Either what are you thinking at this time princess, clearly we must prepare for battle. You definitely don't want it all to be late, do you?" he added.
While Lucia seems unable to fully accept the idea of Nata. He built cities on the land of the dead, one of which was to avoid war.
"Silence means 'yes'" said Aksa, who disperse Lucia's thinking.
"alright. Do what you think is necessary, Nat" said Lucia who seemed to take a deep breath. He knew that every word Nata said was true. But he still could not help his feelings of not wanting to get involved in a war.
"Alright, I'll start tomorrow" Javan Nata quickly.

Two days later a meeting was held in the tent of Aksa and Nata in front of the mouth of the cave Ceruk Bintang. Meetings attended by people working in the region. Couran, Val, Haldin, Go, Rafa, Marco, and Matyas.
Also in addition to Aksa, Nata, and Lily, were Ivvone, Cedrik, Margaret, Ende, Caspian, Vossler, Helen, and Jean.
They were talking about a plan to make a firm refuge at the gates of the south and north sides. To start preparing for something that might happen.
"So from tomorrow we will arm the south gate and the north gate with anti-seige, anti-aerial, and anti-magic" Aksa said.
As usual, everyone did not understand Aksa's intentions, and looked towards Nata to hear an explanation.
"Maybe some of you have heard about this, and some have not. But in order to guard against outside attacks, especially the Southern region, we will begin to make some preparations to defend. Preparation when something unwanted happens" Nata takes over.
"Then what's your plan?" Jean asked.
"You don't want to, we'll make weapons. And also, we should start preparing the soldiers. I didn't expect them to go down to the battlefield, but just in case it was necessary" Nata began explaining his recananya.
"Well I understand" Caspian replied quickly. It appeared that the Fire Star members also nodded, which showed that they also understood.
"Is it that bad?" Ask Go this time.
"I just feel uncomfortable when I don't have preparation, Miss Go" replied Nata. "So, is there anything you want to ask?" Added later.
And after some questions about the details of the plan and the work, the meeting was closed.
-
"Oh, and tomorrow I'm going to head to the south to investigate these people" Ivvone said as the tent was completely deserted. "When possible, I will bring the Shuuran clan I know, back here" he continued.
"Thank you, Miss Ivvone. We really appreciate it" Nata replied later.
"no need. Enough of your smartpon that's it, Nat" said Ivvone quickly.
"Yes, I understand" Nata timpal said with a slight taper.
