World Traveler Messenger of the Gods
Ch. 28 - The Beginning of the War

Two weeks have passed, the fortress built together has almost finished, the foundation stretches from the end of the beach in the north to the south.

" How is the development of his development in your place Mr Arzha? " said Rodrigo through telepathy that has been connected previously by Arzha.

" It's almost so, how's your place Rodrigo? " said Arzha.

" It's done first sir, it may be moving soon, but according to the scouts, in about a few days the enemy troops will land here, exactly as you suggest, "

" They will land at a nearby site, so we can postpone construction at the northern and southern ends, and focus construction in the middle" Rogrigo said.

" But Rodrigo, tell Mr. Winston to keep a close eye on the surroundings, I'm afraid that some enemy troops are being smuggled through the coast in the north and south, or be turned towards the western island, " said Arzha worried.

" You can rest assured, sir, that about ten thousand troops carrying 100 ships of 50 men have been alerted along the northern and southern coasts, as well as the surrounding areas" Rodrigo said.

" It's good then, we just wait for their arrival and complete this fort, incidentally trap traps have also been prepared along the east coast, " said Arzha.

" Good sir, may we win this battle! " said Rodrigo and closed the conversation.

" What caused the Helmia Holy Empire to suddenly attack for no reason like this? Moreover, very much coinciding with the withdrawal of the Demon King's army from the Voulgrade kingdom as well as the Romanus Empire, I should be able to investigate it, " muttered Arzha.

**

Three days passed, exactly what the scouts said, approximately five hundred ships containing one hundred men each for a total of nearly fifty thousand people landed off the eastern coast of the Central Islands.

Yet.. Without them realizing it, before him was a towering fortress, as well as some magic traps that were able to keep the troops on their guard, sending scouts to check how long the fort was, but they did not find a definite result.

" When was there such a big and long fort here? There must be some misinformation here! " said one of the men who led the first soldier.

" Witch! Try to attack the fortress " said the leader.

Swoosshhh

Boom!!

" Anti-magic huh? It seemed like this information had been leaked before, so they had already prepared it in such a way, "the leader of the army muttered.

" Quick send information to at least bring magic items or accessories that can be used here, or heavy equipment though, and also comb how long this fortress is! "

Some ships were seen returning to send information that had been obtained, but they did not know that the ship would never even reach half the way to the island again.

Arzha began to contact the Supreme Council as well as other associate members to immediately prepare several thousand of their troops, to hold back if the enemy forces made a move.

Sure enough as Arzha expected, the troops were only in charge of building tents and waiting for the others came high confidence seen in some troops puffing his chest.

After almost 5 days, finally the entire construction of the impromptu fort was completed, the troops began to be alerted at some of the fortress posts, the, sea freight aid began to be sent through the northern and southern coastlines, adding to the strength of the barrier of all information, and also food sent from the East Big Island.

" I can't wait to attack them! " say the leader of the army.

" Wait captain! We should move as the generals have ordered, we should wait for them" said one retainer.

" Right Sir! Please be patient a little more, after their arrival victory is certain to be ours! " say the other.

" Cih.. Alright I will listen to your advice this time, " said the captain of the squad back to his seat.

The next day without realizing the food needs of the troops began to decrease, the captain of the troops who heard it was finally furious.

" You're here every night partying, after supplies run low, just giving me information! Don't we have trouble moving here! From the very beginning I listened to your babbling pecundamg, now I order to prepare to attack! " said the captain of the army.

" Ta - But captain.. "

" Nothing but, maybe this will reduce our food needs, quickly prepare the troops! "

The captain began to order several thousand troops to attack the central fortress guarded by old Lord Louis, before long the report of the attack reached Arzha's ears.

" Report Mr Arzha! In post 5, precisely the central fort, the enemy troops began to move, but the troops of old Lord Louis could easily hold him, not even causing significant damage" said his scouts.

" How are the casualties? " ask Arzha.

" The enemy forces suffered significant losses, old master Louis only lost a few thousand arrows" the scout said.

" It will only be a futile attack, on the other hand their food is starting to thin, and maybe the arrival of the auxiliary troops will still have to wait a few more days, let's wait, " said Arzha.

" Okay Sir! "

The next day the battle between the two sides began to look more intense, the enemy troops increasingly aggressively attacked, but without adequate equipment they would only provide futile resistance.

The fortress has been fitted with anti-magic periodically by Arzha, so the power is not playing, some witches from the Merchant Association forces also defend the anti-magic from continuous attacks.

" Report Sir! The enemy relief force consisted of ten barricades of ships at sea, about two thousand five hundred more ships were parachuted to escort the troops, each barricade consisted of two hundred and fifty ships, and each, as you might have guessed, their landings were separated at some point of the coast, " said one scout.

" good! Send letters to Mr. Winston and others, to conduct surprise attacks on the barricades of those tasked with landing on the northern and southernmost coasts, do it at night quickly, quickly, they are carrying large ships that will be very long maneuvering, so we can slightly reduce their strength, " Arzha said.

" Okay Sir! " say the lookout.

" Hehe.. Let's win this war! " rumbling Arzha.

As you have already informed, Mr. Winston and the rest of the members quickly sank several hundred ships within one night, taking advantage of the agility of the ships belonging to the members of the small association, make it easier for them to quickly sink large enemy ships.
