Elrad : King of the Eastern Land

Chapter 5 : "A Clash"

Greenbelt is a village in the southern portion of Estheron that is one of Maslih Kingdom's farthest settlements. The village is surrounded by lush greenery, with hundreds of tall trees and beautiful rice fields. A day later, on that night, in that village.

"Commander! They are here!" a loud voice of a shouting soldier who is rushing towards the position of the commander was heard.

"Help them out! Complete the plan!" A woman's voice can be heard issuing commands to a man who is in a hurry.

"Yes, Commander!" The sweaty man who was in a rush answered.

The woman who is giving an order to a soldier, is the Royal Crescent Commander, The Princess and the one who is in charge of the plan. The Royal Crescent Commander, Princess Mina Nightshade. and in her thoughts she said; "Father is right, and we are just right in time".

As she prepares her bow and arrow, she fiercely and directly pointed it to a group of knights who are approaching the village. The Knights of Estian Kingdom, led by King Jim and his renowned knights, The Jimorians, are approaching the settlement. The Princess pointed the arrow straight towards the king's head and released it without hesitation.

*wooooosssshhhh..... * The arrow traveled straight to the king's position and right to his head; the arrow is ready to land on the king's head. The king, however, came to a halt and caught the speeding arrow with his bare hands. The entire group of the king stopped while they are on their horses. The king smirked and in a insulting tone of voice he said;

"Is this how you welcome your guest!?" he ask the princess who shot the arrow directly to him.

"You are not a guest!" with an angry voice she answered.

With out any hesitation, she ran directly to the Estian Kingdom's King, even though she was the only one facing the group of the king's knights, with her anger and a killing intent, she jumped after she dashed, and is about to strike the king with her sword.

One of the Jimorians reacts quickly to what is about to happen, leaping into the scene and blocking the princess's ferocious and wrathful stroke. The strike was so powerful that it caused a shockwave, causing the surrounding tree branches to sway and some leaves to fall.

The helm of the Jimorian who blocked the attack made by the princess, had fractured, because of this his taken a back. As the princess land to her feet. the Jimorian made a remark about her.

"I'm surprised, I underestimated you since you're a lady, and your strength has left a mark on my helm," the Jimorian continued as he was preparing to remove his helm.

"In our way, When we acknowledge our opponent's strength, it is a sign of respect to let your opponent know your name. Well, I admire you and would like to introduce myself; my name is Okjun Althezar ".

One of the Jimorians, the Knight, introduced himself to the princess as a sign of respect for her strength and power. Okjun is a tall man with a lampshade-style moustache and black pushed back long hair. He's a full grown man with an adrenal build body.

"You have no right to know who I am." The princess responded with disdain and an obnoxious tone of voice.

"Well, then, I guess I'll just have to force you!" Okjun frowned as he spoke.

Okjun is about to charge towards the princess to strike it with his sword, but the king interrupted and said, "Keep calm Okjun." The king told his knight with a serene facial expression.

"That was a fantastic display of bravery, young girl; I admired it..." The king is remarking on the princess's strength.

As the king continues to speak, "That arrow was strong enough to pierce through my helm and possibly kill me, fantastic shot little girl"

"I knew this one was coming; your king foresaw our next move; we didn't come here to fight; we aren't like you, Maslih, who will knife someone as soon as they turn their back." "For your king, I prepared a message... A payment for your actions has already been paid after what you did to Yellowcape, however it is not enough!

"Landergrass deserves it! you Maslih had violated the Treaty! and we are not open for any peace talks towards you traitors! you can't be trusted anymore!

"Send this to your king! Prepare for the consequences! The long peace is done, thanks to you Maslih, now be sure to accept this, that a War will emerge!" with a proud and anger tone of voice, the king declared with his own words, that a War is coming to the Land of Estheron.

"You bark a lot for a man, A dog that barks a lot doesn't bite." the princess responded, retaliating the king by speaking insultingly. "Accusing something we haven't done? You are insane! Is this part of your schemes? to put the blames into us?" the princess said.

The princess yelled fiercely, "We are in the peace treaty until you Estians assault one of our villages!"

"You are showing too much fang young girl..." said the king, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a loud voice, and he was unable to continue.

"Commander!!! Princess!!!" This is being said by a screaming voice. Two mysterious soldiers are approaching the princess and the rest of the king's entourage. Rushing towards their position are the Members of the Royal Crescent, their voices shouting in a haste and with concern.

When the two soldiers arrived at their commander's position, they informed the princess of the situation.

"The village is clear princess!" said one of the two soldiers, Zafia Giaxe, a Royal Crescent soldier who is a mid-tall lady with a semi-muscular round shaped body, ponytailed hair style, and a distinguishable weapon, two axes.

"It's all finished! Commander, they're all safe now!" According to the other soldier, Keer Daydarts, who is also a member of the Royal Crescent, he is a tall man with a buff build body type, a goatee, and a quiff hairstyle, as well as a scar on his right lower cheek. He wields a huge edgeless blade as a swordsman.

The King and Okjun were taken aback by what they had heard from afar. The Princess of Maslih Kingdom and a Commander is the one who stands in front of them and confronted them with strength and power a short time ago.

Okjun smiled, his face lit up with wonder, and he pondered; "Commander? So she's a commander, and she's a worthy opponent! ".

"So you are the daughter? *smirked* You got your father's attitude, That puts a smile on my face, You are indeed like him, brave and arrogant," the king says, amazed. "Young girl! Remember what I said and tell that to your father! Jimorians! Let's move!" the king then said with a threatening voice, and orders his knights to fall back and return to Estian Kingdom.

"Why not come and fight us now traitors!" Zafia, one of the Royal Crescent shouted to the group of knights led by King Jim who are retreating.

"Let them go, the mission is already done." the princess then said to the tempered soldier Zafia.

"What was he talking about commander?" Keer who is also one of the Royal Crescent asked his commander on what was the king of Estian Kingdom is talking about.

"I'll explain it later, for now let's go!" the Commander Princess replied, as they move and proceeds to the villagers evacuation camp.

A person has seen everything, including the fight and clash between the Estians and the Maslih, from afar. De'Wa was present. She was watching the entire happenings, on top of a tree De'Wa saw everything and was amazed by what she saw.

"Phew! That was intense! the villagers are now safe, and we don't need to worry anymore, Maslih did a great job there!" De'Wa stated with ease as she was happy on what the Maslih did to the villagers.

As she was about to go down, she heard a very loud explosion "Boooooooom!!!".

"An explosion!? wait! that is where 'E' is in positioned!" De'Wa stated with a worried facial expression, as she jumped down and rushed directly towards where the explosion happened.
