The Thousand Year Dynasty
25. Assaulting Back
"How much damage do we get?" Nata asked the next morning he, Aksa, Lucia, the nobles, and the knights, held a meeting at Lucia's residence.
"Some soldiers were wounded, and forty died. On the east side, it seems that many Yllgarian soldiers were wounded and also killed in the battlefield. Also some wild animals" Caspian reported.
"The most severe damage was sustained by the south gate. For Sekai forest, only destroyed at the edge. Not touching their village. But the Sekai village area and the miners' settlement were badly damaged. Looks like it'll take a while to fix it. While the west side did not suffer any damage at all" he continued later.
"Good we had to move the settlement of the tempest tribe to the north side" said Amithy who sounded relieved.
"Then for the mystical weapons we confiscated?" Nata continued his question.
"Now we have nine mystical weapons. Now it was in Atelir's armament" Caspian replied again. "Parpera and others are figuring out the strength of each of these weapons" he continued.
"Suddenly sangar, here we are" Aksa said.
"And also we captured the nine owners of the mystical weapons. We locked them in the Star Alcove not far from Atelir" Caspian added.
"Is it harmless to keep them close to our arsenal?" Lucia looks a little worried.
"It's okay, princess. Their confinement was made of Dracz metal" Nata replied.
"At least if they managed to escape, would they be able to use the weapons they had only seen for the first time?" Aksa.
"yes too. So what are we gonna do about them?" Lucia asked back.
"For a while let them be there first. We'll see how things go after this" Nata replied.
"Then what are we gonna do after this, Nati?" Lucia asked again. "I want to stop this war immediately" he added later.
"We'll follow up on our previous lawsuit. We will strike them back" Nata replied.
"Do you still want to continue this war, Nat?" Lucia immediately sounded a little raised her voice.
"No. We need to show strength to stop the war. Because we have to make the opponent afraid, and do not dare to put up a fight" Nata replied.
"We need to be able to control the situation. And after that, if we do not want to continue this war, then this war will just stop. Without a fight" he continued.
"I also agree with Mr. Nata. After all we must be firm so that no one like Tyrion would dare to harass us in the future" Caspian agreed to Nata's plan.
"We can attack any territory, then give another warning letter to them to end this war" Nata continued the explanation of his plan.
"Then which territory will we attack?" Lucia asked, but still did not seem to agree with Nata's plan.
"Didn't the Urbar kingdom consist of the rulers of the region or something like that, right?" Nata asked.
"True, they called it Real" this time Amithy replied.
"And how many Estates are there of this Urbar kingdom, Lady Amithy?" Tanya Nata continued.
"All I know is that there are sixteen Realities" Amithy replied quickly.
"That includes the territory of lord Mateus huh?"
"Right" Amithy nodded.
"Maybe the easiest is to control the territory of lord Mateus" Nata said.
"You intend to invade Mateus' uncle's territory?" Lucia said she sounded unacceptable.
"Not attacked. But if we can make Mr. Mateus want to work with us to 'as if' we succeed in mastering, then it will benefit both sides" Nata replied. "By the side they will not be suspected of siding with us, nor can we protect the city of Varun and our passage to the southern region" he added.
"Hm, I think it will benefit them as well. Let me talk to Mateus" Amithy said this time.
"Alright then, I leave it to you, Miss Amithy" Nata looks relieved Amithy agreed and even wanted to help.
"The territory of the Raygod Estate is in the middle of the Urbar kingdom" Amithy replied. "From the start of Xin city continues to the southeast to the city of Guam. The royal city of Urbar" he continued.
"Well, what a coincidence. Then we will attack Tyrion's territory. Xin City. Besides, we can also have a considerable impact on the kingdom of Urbar, by closing their trade routes to the north" Nata said later.
"You intend to attack Xin city, master Nata? Let me tag along" Anna suddenly interjected with a face that looked fiery.
"We do need your knowledge of the city, Miss Anna" replied Nata who made Anna smile widely.
"Alright then, we will make an attack on Xin city tomorrow morning. So immediately get ready gentlemen and ladies" Nata seemed to be closing the meeting.
"You're going to attack them tomorrow, Nat? Didn't we just have an attack yesterday?" Lucia suddenly interjected.
"We must immediately go on the offensive when they have not yet begun to prepare for a plan or to gather strength again. Noting that their attack yesterday had no effect on us" Nata explained the intent of his plan to Lucia. "At the same time we don't need to bring many soldiers to attack these cities. We already have mystic weapons now" he added with a face that looked arrogant.
Lucia only gave a small nod in response to Nata's explanation with a face that still looked uneasy.
"After this we will have a meeting with the cabibetans and all members of the parlenem" Nata told Lucia.
-
They held meetings with lawmakers and the cabinet to discuss the impact of the Urbar kingdom attack yesterday. Also plans for cleaning up and rebuilding damaged areas.
They also discussed plans to counterattack. Make preparations in advance and arrange a plan that will be carried out afterwards.
In the last two days, life in the Pharos region seemed to be running normally. There was little tension among the citizens who were worried that the Urbar kingdom could break through their defenses.
-
The next day a ship of 95 soldiers led by Caspian, along with Helen, Anna, and Nikolai, headed to the southern town of Xin.
They came with mystic weapons as an additional force. Caspian carried a golden-handled sword, while Helen carried two red and blue-bladed swords. Anna was still using her own sword, and Nikolai was carrying an axe-tipped spear.
They were intercepted by 5 Urbar royal ships before docking at the Xin city dock. That's not a problem for them.
Because Nikolai has now got a view of how the capabilities of the iron ship and its full use. After he saw how Aksa used it as a weapon of destruction during the war yesterday.
And it didn't take much effort, the 5 ships that confronted them sank easily.
After landing in Xin city, they were confronted again by about 80 soldiers of the Urbar kingdom navy. However, Caspian's forces quickly defeated the soldiers. Even they did not have to use their mystical weapons.
All the soldiers of Pharos, wearing protective armor and black shield before. Which makes them almost unharmed. While some soldiers used swords to attack, some carried iron-clad rifles with air canisters hanging behind their backs.
Anna and Nikolai memorized the ins and outs of that side of town. Which led to the invasion and conquest of the city went very effectively. And for no more than a day, they had already taken control of Xin City. Who then began to make a barrier in front of the city gate.
-
Meanwhile, 120 soldiers march to Varun, led by Vossler and his two subordinate knights Biggs and Wedge. They also joined Amithy and Parpera.
Vossler's entourage is also equipped with mystical weapons as additional power. Vossler carries a short bladed sword, while Biggs carries a shield, and Wedge carries a bow. Even Amithy was also armed with a magic weapon in the form of a whip sword.
The purpose of Amithy joined the army to the city of Varun was to meet and try to invite the Matues to cooperate with the Pharos.
There are not too many barriers to get to the city of Varun and master it. Because of the morale of the fallen enemy.
Even the rest of the troops who had previously attacked the southern gate, were no longer visible around the place.
Now there is only a group of city guard soldiers. That was only by shooting wind arrows from the mystic bow that Wedge had brought to their shelter, and soon the soldiers fled in panic.
And after the day had ended, Pharos' side had already occupied two cities and cut off almost all the routes from the Urbar kingdom to the North.
