09. War Messages
"It seems that Tyrion really has a creative idea to look for because" Aksa said when he was at Lucia's residence to try the swimming pool that had just been completed. A month and a half after the Urbar kingdom closed the path to the south.
He came with Nata, Lily, and Rafa. also to talk about the letter that the kingdom of Urbar sent a day ago. This time it asked the land of Pharos to follow the beliefs of the Holy Land.
"really. I never thought he would use the name of a confidant to make a war cry" Nata was also quite amazed by the idea Tyrion used this time as an excuse to attack the land of Pharos.
"How about we answer yes, just like that. Be sorted. Want to believe lived or not, the important thing is yes first" said Aksa who sat at the edge of the pool with half his feet submerged in the water.
They were in the backyard of Lucia's residence, around the pool. There are Aksa, Nata, Lucia, Lily, Jean, and Rafa.
"The problem is that they will send clergy and establish temples in this region, if we agree to it" Nata explained from where he sat with the others. A little further away from the pool.
"Wow, smart move. Original" Aksa dodged in admiration.
"But if we don't answer yes, then soon they will call for war in the name of the Holy Land's trust in us" Nata added.
"really. How then?" Aksa asked.
"Then what, princess?" Nata throws the question to Lucia.
Lucia seemed unprepared for Nata's question. He seemed a little surprised. Then immediately put on his calm face.
"I don't know how to handle a war. But I am ready to reject the request letter from the Urbar kingdom" Lucia replied firmly.
"But behind him there will be a war waiting" Aksa said from the end of the pool.
"I'm also ready for it" Lucia replied still firmly.
"All right then. After this we will have a meeting with the leaders of the soldiers to talk about the possibility that the Urbar side will do" Nata said later.
"All right then. I'll call them here" Lucia seemed to get up and walk into the house.

While still at Lucia's residence, a meeting was held again. This time only attended by Caspian, Helen, Vossler, Jean, Luna, and members of the Star of Fire. Besides Aksa, Nata, and Lucia.
"This meeting, we will discuss the worst possibility that the Urbarians will do if we reject their request to follow the beliefs of the Holy Land" Nata said.
Everyone present only nodded small. Not making the slightest sound.
"All right then. I'll start explaining. You can cut it off if you feel you don't understand what I'm talking about" Nata seemed to give directions.
"The first thing we should look at is our four gates. Both the south and the north, the maulun the west and the east" Nata began to explain his plan.
"Indeed, it is very unlikely for them to attack the west side due to the presence of shallow waters that cause large ships will not be able to pull over, and also the north side that borders the Elbrasta region directly. But we have to be aware of that possibility.
"Medium for the south gate and the east coast. Because both places do not have obstacles that are too meaningful, then it is likely that they will attack both places.
"For the south gate, all we need to do is be ready to defend behind the cliff wall. And for the east coast, we will bring the miners and the people who are in Sekai village, to the East village on the inside. Then we will survive on the lips of the Sekai forest.
"As much as possible we should avoid direct combat between soldiers and soldiers. Because obviously, we don't have many soldiers.
"But if the spy who yesterday knew it told the Urbar party, then the most logical thing for the kingdom to do there was a fight directly. Soldiers against soldiers" said Nata still explained.
"So what is the likely eastern seaboard that they will attack?" Caspian asked who suddenly interrupted.
"And therefore also, we should still divide our soldiers into four groups that will stand guard in four places. Which means if our current soldiers are approximately two hundred soldiers then we must divide them into fifty soldiers of the territory" Nata continued the explanation of his plan.
"Then how do we deal with it when they actually attack the east coast?" Caspian asked again.
"We're going to build a lot of traps in the woods. Or do a stealth attack strategy when the opposing forces are in the forest. What we need to remember is not to do open combat with them later" replied Nata. "We also cannot hope for the Yllgarians. If later they want to help, it means that it's added value for us" he added later.
"good. I think we understand what you mean, Mr. Nata" Caspian nodded in understanding.
"Oh, and also about weapons. Mr. Haldin and Mr. Matyas successfully completed the weapons for several soldiers equipped with electricity paralyzed as already used by the noble knights" Aksa added.
"What about our weapons, Mr Nata?" This time Cedric asked.
"Calm down, your ordered weapon is also done. Later in the afternoon I will show you" replied Aksa who made a smile popping from the faces of the Fire Star members.
"Yes, for the Fire Star group. You will be an additional force and also the guardians of the Central City. We do not know also what kind of troops they will send to attack here" said Nata who seemed answered with a nod by some members of the fighter union.
"But I doubt they will directly send their best troops. Because they must look down on us" said Aksa chimed.
"May it be like that" replied Nata who seemed really hopeful. "For the division of troops and the position of the guard area, you can determine for yourself. Then for the strategy issue, we will talk further when the division and position is determined" he added at length.
"And if there's no question beyond that, we'll close this meeting. Because I have to see Mr. Selene immediately" Nata said later.
"Mr Selene?" Caspian tried to make sure.
"really. We need help from him" Nata replied quickly.

The next day Lucia sent an envoy to deliver a reply letter to the troops guarding the road on the southern route. And after that Aksa and Nata began to busy planning things and began to meet some people to help their preparations survive.
Residents in the coastal village of Sekai and miners have been told to get ready. Tomorrow they will be temporarily evacuated to the village of Timur.
Meanwhile, a trio of hunters assisted by some Yllgarian seemed to be taking care of the delivery of trap tools from Haldin. For then they installed after the villagers Sekai and the miners were evacuated.

In the evening, Rafa and Couran barge into Aksa and Nata's tent at the base of the Star Alcove. Then they clamored to try to wake the two young men who had already looked slumbering.
"Swake, wake!" couran shouted while shaking Nata's body.
"Mr Aksa, wake up!" Rafa screamed and used Aksa's body to wake him up.
The shocked Nata immediately stood up. It seemed he was still dazed looking around him.
While Aksa was still asleep, he unconsciously pulled Rafa's body into his arms.
Rafa attempted to break away, as Nata asked Couran. "What's the matter, Mr Couran?"
"The eastern coast was attacked, and Sekai village was burned" replied Couran who kept Nata awake.
