I was leaning with Adry under the trees, watching the militia attack. Two weeks went by, they kept repeating the same tactic, "I want to go home", I said, Adry responded, "You can go home alone but it will be dangerous, there might be some robbers left out there waiting in the woods"

"Why did they slow down the process, they could have broken through that wooden gate and barged in and conquered the castle quickly"

"Reza, if you become the leader of the unit, it looks like there will be a lot of dead people"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, a lot of people will die getting shot when they break down. Surrounding and blocking the entrance and exit of the castle and waiting is the best option to minimize casualties. Containment of the enemy in the same place, perhaps those inside the castle are starving or thirsty at the moment, he said, I don't know how much supplies they have but in the end their supplies will run out and be forced to give up"

I heard the sound of the armor clanking, glancing at my right, the clanking sound came from the armor of Mr. Askari who was heading here, after arriving in front of us he said, "Let's have dinner with meat today, slaughter some chickens to boost the morale of the troops, they haven't eaten meat for a week. I'm handing all that over to you"

"Okay Captain!", said Adry and I together.

We were preparing food for the afternoon when the militia retreated back to the camp. They all returned, there were 3 people killed shot by arrows, and several others injured.

During these two weeks there have been 5 people killed, we immediately buried them around the camp.

The third week, in the morning before the advancing militia attacked, there was someone inside the fort shouting, "Hey, let's have a ceasefire. Our boss has a good offer for you!"

We heard that so Mr. Askari postponed the attack. Lord Askari took the shield and rode on horseback with 3 cavalry by his side near the gate.

"Isn't that dangerous?", I asked Adry, "Well what he thinks, nobles have high self-esteem"

Mr. Askari was not far from the gate saying, "How about you hand over your leader to us and at least your life will be forgiven and live happily behind bars"

From the camp I saw Mr. Askari discussing, then came a man with armor like a knight on the fortress, "I am the leader here, let's make a deal", his men brought 3 big crates, he said, then the leader of the robbers pointed out one by one the contents of the chest, "About 5400 silver coins, and 100 gold coins, pull back your troops and this becomes yours!"

Mr. Askari faced his troops, he shouted, "You hear that!? that much treasure will soon be ours!"

The troops cheered hearing that.

Mr. Askari faced the robber back, provoking him, "What do you mean? we will take the treasure and the castle and you will die", Mr. Askari turned back to the camp.

When they went back a step two, I saw the robbers pulling their bows, the leader of the robbers gave the order, "Shoot!"

They were showered with many arrows, 2 cavalry fell from his horse. The horse that Mr. Askari was riding was shot by an arrow so he fell pinned down by the horse. Shortly after the first shot, the second shot was fired. Those remaining are trying to protect Mr. Askari with a shield. Until the third shot was launched the shield was too small to cover the entire body. They protected Mr. Askari with his body, as arrows fell they were shot dead.

Adry rushes to help Mr. Askari who was pinned down by a dead horse, but he has put himself in danger of advancing to help without any preparation.

Looking around me the crowd of soldiers just looked, no one was trying to help. There was a soldier holding a shield, I thoughtlessly and spontaneously snatched the shield from him and then ran towards them, I shouted loudly with a shield protecting my body.

I was with them. The fourth shot was fired, and then I realized why I was here.

But the whole army immediately came after me helping us make the shield wall and then retreated slowly, Adry with a heavy breath, "Thank you Reza you saved our lives!", Seeing Mr. Askari inside the shield wall carrying his own shield and running towards the camp.

As we retreated slowly, I tripped over the rocks so that it was left out of line while the arrows had been launched at the same time.

All I heard at that moment was the sound of the rain of arrows and the sound of the foot of a stepping horse. My heart was pounding, sweat was pouring from my entire body and my hands were shaking violently, I was going to die!

The galloping sound of horse legs began to grow loud in my ears, someone riding a horse reached me and dragged the collar of my neck so I was suffocating.

He dragged me back to the camp while I was dragged on the ground, then after a safe place he let me go. I coughed, took a deep breath.

My eyes still felt foggy because they were covered in flowing tears. Wiping away the tears, I saw Mr. Askari before me descending the horse, "Captain Askari, thank you, I am so grateful!", I immediately knelt in his honor.

Feeling relieved even though my hands still shook violently. I'm alive! i'm alive!

He patted me on the shoulder, "You are a brave man, Arezha, I admire you!", though I cried in fear of dying.

We launched an offensive back like in previous days, Mr. Askari said beside me, "They are starving. Now just wait for time"

Adry responded, "It seems so, they even offered a large amount of money"

When we were talking to see the battle proceeding slowly, there appeared 3 rows of rows with flags that symbolized the noble family from the direction we came. Mr. Askari was surprised to see that, "Why did the private army of the Sandrea nobility come here!?", he rode on a horse to see them.

He faced off stopping their line, someone came out of the luxurious horse carriage. It turned out that he was the one who attended the meeting at that time, a member of the nobility who always looked luxurious!

Mr. Askari went down his horse, "What did Mr. Sandrea come here for?", Mr. Askari said so as to look down on his interlocutor, he looked very big in front of Sandrea.

"Why did you guys take so long to eradicate them!?", Sandrea snapped at him, "Give me your leadership, let me take care of it from here. I brought 50 knights, I will execute them all today!"

Mr. Askari was so offended by Sandrea's words that he raised his voice, "What do you mean? are you planning to seize my achievements!?"

"Dear your name, I am Sandrea the noble, a baron from the city of Sernia who was given directly by Mr. Adipram!", who is indeed very arrogant.

"Whatever you say, I'm the one leading this unit", then Mr. Askari rode his horse and left him for granted, while the noble's face looked angry.
