Into the Maslih Kingdom.
The king is riding a horse, together with him is General Kufrih and Chief Thazar.
"Are we all set General?" the King asked the General.
"Yes My King, we are all set and ready!" The General replied.
"Very well then" the King said.
As we can recall, the king ordered one of the soldier to form a troop.
"My King, permission to ask" Chief Thazar said.
"Proceed young man" the King replied.
"What are we going to do on that village my King?" Chief Thazar proceeds to asked the king.
"I have a bad intuition, if I am wrong then it is going to fine, but if I am right then it will be an unexpected outcome" the King replied.
"Should we add more soldiers my king? because I guess when your bad intuition is right, then it would be a battle if I am guessing it right my king" General Kufrih said to the king.
"There is nothing to worry about. If I am right that the Estians are planning to attack that village then we will face them. Fifty soldiers is enough, even if they storm that village with hundreds of their men. And not to mention that I got the two strongest soldiers with me, am I right General?" the king said this with a proud tone of voice.
"Thank you for the compliment, you are right my king" the General then replied.
"Alright let's go, we have a time to chase! Hi-yaaah! *horse runs*" the king then said.
The King then ordered his soldiers to go, and immediately they started their way heading towards the village where the king wanted to go.
*thud thud* *tigidig tigidig* *horses running*
On a far distance the Prince is watching the troops, as his father the King leave the area where they are preparing a while ago. The Prince then remembers the words of his father.
"Your sister isn't here, and I am also leaving. My son, I will give you a task to protect your mother and your little sister. Until we came home. I trust you son. *the king taps his son's shoulder as he holds it and hugged him*" this where the words and action of the king before he leaves, he entrusted the safety of his Queen and his daughter to his son, the Prince, who is Prince Irkhan.
"Until father came back, I would be the one in charge on protecting our family" Irkhan said this on his thoughts.
While Irkhan is having a thoughts someone poked him from behind.
"Seems like you are thinking so deep borther" the person who poked him said.
"Little sister it is you" Irkhan then said this as he turns around and saw that the one who poked his back was his little sister Fisa.
"Father already left, I wasn't able catch him up" the little princess said to her brother.
"It's alright sister. Wanna play with me on the field?" Irkhan asked.
"Yes! that would be great, since I already finished with my academic activities" Fisa replied.
"Alright! let's go!" the older brother response as they are now heading to the field and play.
Winds blew towards the woods, onto the boarders of Maslih Kingdom, where the Estians built their temporary camp.
"Chief Christoff, are we all good?" the king asked the Chief of Tactics Division, Chief Christoff.
"Yes My King, we are good and ready to go" the Chief then replied to his king.
"How long will it take us to reach Boulderbrick Village?" The King asked the Chief.
"As what we had discussed my king, it will took us two days from now to reach Boulderbrick" the Chief replied.
"Perfect, so if we won't stop for a rest while traveling we can reach that village in less than of what you had estimated?" the king said and asked Chief Christoff.
"Yes My King"
"Great, so let's begin the journey then" the king then said this as he rides his stallion.
"Let's get going" the king said as they are now heading to Boulderbrick.

He is a thirty-nine years old male. Together with them are the Four Hundred men composed of both Heavy Class and Light Class from the Estian Kingdom.

A day later.
On the woods where the group of Albert entered.
"Is this where you guys encountered that bandit?" Albert asked the members of the Bastions.
"Yes Sir, this is where we encountered that bandit. This is where she managed to defeat all of us" Chad replied.
"I see, if I am right, when you encountered her, there are only two possibilities whether she is on her way to their hideout or she in on her way to the steal on the nearest village around this area," Albert said this as he elaborates his thoughts.
"Brother, if she is on her way to steal, she should be with someone, remember when Zern spoke with us? He said that when he encountered that bandit, she was all alone and there is someone who fetched her and escaped" Okjun said to his brother Albert.
"Yes, I remembered it Okjun" Albert then replied to what his brother said.
"I guess she is on her way back to their hideout," Okjun said.
Albert just listen and walks his way near to a tree, he observes the surrounding and thinks about something.
"They are just near here," Albert said.
Okjun and the members of the Bastions were just standing and keeping their focus on Albert as he speak;
"If we keep on looking for them it will take us ages to find them. We need to lure them, we need to get them out from where they are hiding. It is easier and it is the fastest way." Albert then said this as he grabbed a leaf from a bush.
"But how?" Okjun asked and wondering.
"You'll see brother" Albert then answered with a confident tone of voice.
"Grab all your belongings, we will change our destination. Let's move" Albert then ordered the group.
"Yes Sir!" the Bastions replied.
As they all ride back to their horses and follow Albert.
"This time I will definitely seize you, no matter what it cost. The twenty-five years of hiding will come to its end, I will assure you that. You will pay for everything!" in his thoughts Okjun said these words with seriousness and anger.
