One day later.
On the Maslih Kingdom, where King Muhnir, General Kufrih and the Royal Crescent are having a conversation.
"The Wing Commanders are now on their way back to their assigned Towns and Villages. We also gave them task and objectives"
"While the remaining Wing Commanders are on a mission to evacuate the villagers who are living on a far settlements. That is our main priority now as we prepare for the War." The General said this to the Royal Crescent.
"If we are right, they will first eliminate the villages and towns under our rule, that are giving us supplies, foods and equipment's, to cut any supports that sustains our force and our living. The main reason for the evacuations is to relocate the agricultures and to transfer all of our remaining supplies, equipment's and foods that are on the villages far from our kingdom"
"As much as possible it will be all done soon, after that, all we are going to do is to defend any attacks that will be conducted by the Estians.
"We are not guilty and we are not the ones behind those accusations, we are innocents and we will act accordingly" the king then said this to the Royal Crescent, while the king is explaining the details, he points to the respected villages and towns using the map on the table.
"Produce new agricultural sites near our kingdom, to build new settlements also near here in our kingdom for the evacuees and to construct new defensive structures and stations to protect them. While the mid far villages and towns will be full of our heavy armed soldiers together with their Wing Commanders. Also a daily reports will be conducted for an updated situations on each village, towns and stations" the King then said
"We are on a high alert status, this War that is about to happen, is going to be a battle that will change the future of our people" the king then said.
The king then stands up as he finished speaking. While the Royal Crescent now knew about all the things that the King, General and the Wing Commanders had planning during their meeting.
"What would be our duty, father?" Princess Mina Nightshade who is the Royal Crescent Commander asked his father, King Muhnir Nightshade.
"Your task will be... focusing on capturing the bandits" the king then replied as it catches the attention of Shika and Alkazer it an instant.
"One of the Wing Commanders, Commander Saull suggested it on the meeting. He said that he wanted to capture the bandits who are bothering their village for a long time and so that they can't interfere with us when we are already on this War. But I refused, and told him that he must focus on defending the village under his control and gave the mission on capturing the bandits to you, the Royal Crescent"
"Because it will be more assuring that you guys, can handle it. And besides, it is your task to personally do a mission that any one cant. I have so much faith in you" the king then said this with a commenting tone of voice.
"The bandits are harmful, we all know that. base on the reports and the data that the wing commanders are giving us, and not to mention the ache and sufferings that are people experience because of them. Many villagers already said and witnessed how brutal and harmful this bandits are. So it is more likely that you guys are the better ones to deal with them". the royal crescent listen as the the king said this.
"We will plan a strategy that will lure them, we need to infiltrate their domain and after that we will attack them on the time they least expect, we need them alive. We will move when the Estians starts to invade us, that is the perfect timing" the king said.
"My King, some of the bandits saw me and Al, they knew that we are soldiers" Shika then said.
"Yes my king, as what we had said earlier" Alkazer then spoke up.
"Don't worry about it, we are going to discuss it when we are going to make a plan against the bandits" the king then replied.
"For now I want you to help train the newly recruits and prepare them for the battle" the king then ordered the Royal Crescent.
"Yes your majesty!" The Royal Crescent then replied.
"Father, the events on Yellowcape, it still baffles me." the princess then spoke up about her thoughts.
"Even we still didn't have any answers about that. Don't worry about it daughter, as long as we knew that we are not the ones behind those inhuman act. Our conscience are clean and we didn't dishonor the treaty." the king then replied.
"We will be going now father"
"Alright, please don't be to harsh when you guys train the recruits.. They are just new okay?" the king then said to the Royal Crescent as they are now moving on and ready to train the new recruit of their army.
"Yes your Majesty!" with honor and respect the royal crescent replied as they go out the room and proceeds to the training ground where the newly recruits are waiting for them together with some of the members of the Circle of Chiefs.
As the Royal Crescent moved out, the king and the general stayed on the room.
"My king..." General Kufrih spoke to the king.
"About that general, He already talk to me about that. He is very aware of what just happened."
"It is a shame to dishonor that man. I told him and I swear to him that we are not the one who is behind the events on Yellowcape"
"He also knew and believed that we can't do those things, he knows our culture and he respect our beliefs." The King spoke before the General even finish his sentence, The General just listen.
"You where there General, you witnessed it, and you know how much we respect and honor the Treaty."
"Yes my King, who ever the one behind this events, really wanted to tear and to destroy not only the Treaty but both Maslih Kingdom and Estian Kingdom"
"You are right, but we still don't have the answers. It is not good to point the finger to any one, it is not good to accuse any one with out any solid evidence. For now all we can do is to defend and to protect our people"
"We will still try to talk with them, even if we are not the one behind those attacks. We will lower our pride just for the sake of our people"
"But the moment they will start to harm any of our villages or towns again, and they still doesn't want to talk with us, then that is the time where we will fight back. Let there be a War if that is what they really want"
The King spoke up his thoughts to the General, The task and the objectives has been told to all the Wing Commanders and to the Royal Crescent. The fate of the two kingdoms is at stake
