The Empire

ADBERT VS HARNUS

Harnus came towards Valencia with full preparation.

He knew that King Adbert's army was very large and his soldiers could not face the soldiers of the Kingdom of Valencia from the front.

So Harnus planned that his small army detachment would distract King Adbert's attention for some time.

So Harnus fought with Adbert's chieftain and taking advantage of this, his remaining soldiers would surround the Valencia kingdom from all sides.

Harnus was a very cunning king, he not only forbade the coast outside Valencia but also surrounded Spain, the small kingdom near Valencia.

But Spain could have been captured by Harnus later also, but there will be some trick of Harnus in this as well. Which we will come to know later!

After receiving the message from the ambassador of Spain, King Adbert called a meeting of the generals and ministers the same night. All the special people of King Adbert were present at this meeting.

At this time, the nervousness was visible on King Adbert's face, but King Adbert hide that from the people because he did not want the confidence of his people to decrease.

King Adbert knew that "War can be fought with weak soldiers but not with weak self-confidence."

For this reason, King Adbert was making it appear that Harnus is not a big problem for the Kingdom of Valencia, he will easily defeat Harnus.

After some time King Adbert started addressing the courtiers, King Adbert said," You all know that Harnus has come with full preparation to attack Valencia".

"He does not know that we have fought a bigger war than this and we have also won those battles."

"That's why we have a special chance to defeat Harnus and inlight the name of our kingdom."

King Adbert said that another important thing is, "King Franklin of Spain and his army are also going to support us in this war, Spain is a small state but their help can be of great use to us."

At the end of his talk, King Adbert boosted the morale of the army and said, "All of you rest tonight and tomorrow morning our generals will tell you about the war strategy."

King Adbert told everyone to sleep but he could not sleep all night, he just kept thinking that even though Harnus's army is smaller than Valencia's but those soldiers can fight, and for won Harnus can even go to any extent.

Thinking this, the morning sun comes out. King Adbert also called King Franklin for this battle.

King Adbert knew that even the smallest help can be very big in this war.

King Adbert's commander blew the bugle and King Adbert as well as King Franklin's soldiers also stood in front of the fort.

All the soldiers were waiting for the same thing when they would get the order to go to the battlefield.

To increase the confidence of the soldiers, King Adbert got up from the throne and came in front of the army, and said in a loud voice, "I know how much ability you all have."

"You all know that before this also we fought with big armies and in those battles we have also won."

"Today you will not fight for me or not for yourself, but you will have to fight for your kingdom, the empire which is dearer to you than your life."

"One more thing to keep in mind even if Valencia asks for someone's sacrifice today, do not back down and fight for your empire till your last breath."

After hearing this, all the soldiers were filled with confidence and were even ready to lay down their lives for their king and their kingdom.

Then the commander ordered King Franklin's army," All you have to

fight on the border of Spain and stop Harnus's army there."

"At this time I and King Adbert's army will directly attack Harnus, then later King Franklin's army will come back to us to support our army in defeating the remaining army of Harnus."

The commander later ordered both armies to leave for the battlefield as early as possible.

After some time King Franklin's army reached Spain and on the other hand, King Adbert and his generals reached the battlefield to fight Harnus.

Harnus and King Adbert were standing face to face and they are ready for battle.

"As soon as the commander blows the bugle both the armies attack on each other like a storm."
