A Sheep Surrounded By Wolves

A week after the betrayal by Schlanger and company, the news had already spread throughout the continent of Regia. Even the leaders who had previously agreed to gather a week later in Centrical City are now undoing the deal. Because it will be useless.

Since that day also, the United of regia has disbanded, each country that is part of the joint venture now remains in its territory.

How could not? Several members of the United of Regia are now betraying and defecting to the Neiter nation. Moreover, the Pioneer United of Regia namely General Hedorven and King Enrico do not know what will happen now. So they chose to stay in their respective territories.

As a result of the treachery incident, the Hesperia kingdom went into chaos. The loss of King Enrico and his successor, Princess Ayabelle, made the kingdom of Hesperia look like a leader. Now, King Enrico's younger brother is taking over the throne. Not to avenge his brother, but instead, he defected, he was willing to bend his knees to the Neiter nation. Whereas he had always been hungry for the throne, he was looking forward to this, with the loss of King Enrico, he was now king in the kingdom of Hesperia despite having to bow to the Neiter nation.

However, of all the countries in the regia region, the situation is most affected because they still maintain their principle of not submitting to the Neiter nation, namely the Gatelain nation.

As a result of the treachery incident, now the territory of the Neiter nation was surrounded by its enemies. Like a sheep surrounded by wolves.

To the north of the Gatelains, namely the Hesperia kingdom, now subordinate to Neiter, to the east of the Gatelains, namely the Prusiudeus kingdom, had submitted to the Neiter nation, moreover, the king of that kingdom, Schlanger, who had betrayed the United of regia. Meanwhile, to the west, the Gorgon fortress which was once part of the area of ​​Gatelain is now controlled by the Neiter nation.

The Gatelain people were surrounded by enemies. But they still stick to their principles. For it is better to die than to bow to the colonists for them.

During the day when Captain D'Breick is resting at his office table with a glass of Ale. Suddenly his subordinates came in haste. It provides very important news about the events that happened in Centrical City.

"You bastard Schlanger". Captain D'Breick hit the table after the news. He was angry and irritated. The blood was boiled.

Because he was so angry, he even stood up with his hands filled with flames. As if anyone who dared to touch it would be beaten directly.

He was furious. Captain, who usually likes to joke, is even now very scary when he gets angry

"What about General Hedorven's condition?" Captain D'Breick asked the subordinates who brought the information.

"According to information from the residents who managed to escape, they only saw Schlanger, Arlod and Cleist in the Centrical City square while proclaiming their claim." The subordinate replied in fear seeing Captain's face.

The information from the residents who managed to escape did not see General Hedorven at all.

“What about the other leaders?” Captain D'Breick asked again.

"Apart from the three people, there was nothing else to be seen." Answer the subordinate.

Hearing this information, Captain D'Breick was also confused about what happened in Centrical City, he could not find any bright spots regarding the incident.

He now thought that the odds were two, first, that apart from the three people, they had already been defeated. Or second, they have all submitted to the Neiter nation without exception. However, that second choice did not reflect General Hedorven, because he knew that his leader, General Hedorven, would not surrender to Neiter. He knows that.

"This is treason". That's Captain's assumption

D'Breick. He was very confident, because if Schlanger had blatantly claimed that Centrical City was now his territory and subordinate to the Neiter Nation. Surely General Hedorven would not have tolerated that. But what happened, General Hedorven was nowhere to be seen, even where no one knew.

After thinking about that, Captain D'Breick also concluded that General Hedorven had already been defeated, whether he was dead or still alive, what is clear is that he has now been defeated.

"There is no such thing as United of Regia anymore because they have disbanded and are destroyed," said Captain D'Breick loudly.

"Tighten the gates of the Gatelain border. Don't let anyone enter the Eastend Town," Captain D'Breick gave orders to his subordinates.

"But Captain ..." The subordinate hesitated a little about the captain's orders because it could disrupt the economy of the Gatelain region if the gate was closed and didn't let anyone enter.

"Hurry ...!!!" Captain D'Breick once again kicked off the wooden table. He looked so angry. Without thinking, the subordinate immediately ran out and carried out Captain D'Breick's orders.

After the subordinate left, captain D'Breick calmed down a little and sat back down while muttering. "What are you doing old man?" He was so restless. He did not think that General Hedorven would not handle this problem. That means that this problem is very serious, very dangerous.

Then, came Gristie with her white sword facing Captain D'Breick in a hurry. "captain, is that true?"

"As you can see". Captain D'Breick's answer was very brief. He confirmed the information to Gristie, even though he didn't know what had happened.

Gristie looked down sadly, feeling now that Gatelain will soon be destroyed too. With a voice Gristie said. "Is this the end of us, captain?"

"Hey, raise your head, if you just give up now. At that moment your life is meaningless". Captain D'Breick gives motivation to Gristie.

Then Gristie asked, "Then what should we do now?".

"We must gather our remaining strength" replied Captain D'Breick.

Then Captain D'Breick ordered his men to inform all the captains in Gatelain. He planned to gather them all together to discuss what action to take next.

For now, the gate to the Eastend area is closed, no one else can go in and out of the city. You could say that now the city is completely shut down from and in defensive mode.

"Gristie, gather all the troops, now we are ready for war, because, at any time there will be an attack from the enemy". Captain D'Breick gives orders to Gristie.

Immediately Gristie moved away and gathered all the troops.

"Hoaaaaa ……." Gristie heard screams in the captain's room shortly after he left. Then because she was curious, she looked back and checked it out.

It turned out that he had seen the table near Captain D'Breick shattered.

For the third time, Captain D'Breick hit the table full of anger and resentment. Until the table shattered to pieces.

Seeing the very angry Captain, Gristie was just silent, she slowly went back to gather all the troops. But now Gristie also feels the same anger as Captain D'Breick.
