LOST WARRIORS (ONGOING)

The next day,

Savarie Village, Tursia

"So you are making me believe that the King simply allowed you to enter the main interior of the palace and listen to all your information and tactics by himself. That's kind of unexpected from the Barren King if you ask me."Lucifer replied after hearing about the previous day's incident from Massimo.

"Attracting people's attention is his very impressive skill from his childhood, you know right. Afterall, he is not an ordinary person, unlike us."Emma replied.

"It's only a one-hundredth part of the plan we have executed, you'll remember, right? Don't be lazy and prepare to gather further information." Massimo said being lackadaisical.

Barren Army Barracks

"All soldiers! Listen carefully. The war is not too far away now. The days of comfort have ended. According to the information, their army is much bigger in size than us. But that doesn't mean that they will lose. But we shouldn't underestimate our enemies. The horse army force will attack from the front side. The infantry will attack from the backside. And the most skilled chosen ones, our special force will attack from the sides because in the battle everyone has a focus on their front. So my soldiers! Are you prepared?" Fedrick Holmes, Commander of Barren Soldiers ended his speech with a loud, heavy voice.

"Yes Commander." A very loud chorus of armies had been heard.

"Anyone have a question?" Holmes asked with a cold voice.

"I have a question." A soldier named Mortal Cynane said, raising his hand.

"I expected one from you. Now speak." Holmes said, with a smirk on his face.

"We have approximately 20 thousand soldiers, right?" Mortal Cynane asked.

"Of Course that's right. But that couldn't be your question, right?" Holmes said, laughingly.

Mortal didn't care on the joke and asked,"The Sparta and Athens have very good bonds with us. And their armies are our allies too. If we combine all of them then we should have approximately double of Tursian Army. Then it shouldn't be a problem, right? And afterall, the Tursian King had behaved very rudely with all the countries near them. They will not support them at any cost."

"We have no allies. First take that thing out of your mind. We have to fight our own battle. Is that understandable? There should not be any confusion." Holmes asked with a very cold voice.

"No, Commander." Mortal replied, bowing his head, keeping his right hand bending on his chest.

Medic Zone, Barren Town

"Are you okay now, Charles? Is it still hurting?" Adam asked Charles, who was lying on a bed and his face and his right hand was wrapped with a bandage.

"You came here to tease me, right? I can still fight against you right now, you know right?" Charles shouted with a very loud, annoying voice.

"Calm down, calm down, I was just joking. I came here to see if you are still alive or not? But I can see you are well and good." Adam said, laughing at Charles.

"Your stupid jokes are making me very angry. If I had a sword right now, I would chop you into pieces. And then you will see who is a more skilled fighter. A single fight doesn't declare who is better. " Charles said angrily.

"Hahaha!"Adam laughed, looking at Charles' helpless situation.

Sibestian River Bank

The sun had set a while ago. The moonlight was shining on the clear water of River Sibestia. Three dark shadows, riding horses, appeared at the Sibestia Forest.

The First Person, named Hoover, asked, "Cynane is taking a very long time. Do you think he got caught at the hands of them?"

Alan said,"I don't think so. He is the most skilled and brave person amongst us. Don't be so impatient. He had promised that he would return today at midnight."

Hoover said,"Jimmy, What do you think?"

Jimmy said,"Alan is right. We shouldn't lose our hope."

Many hours passed. Three shadows had been hiding silently camouflaging them in the darkness.

"Hey look look! Cynane is coming! Look he is coming."

Cynane swame out of the river. The River Sibestia is a border between two nations, Barren and Tursia.

Three shadows ran towards him. Alan asked, "You gathered any information?"

Cynane ignored his question and asked,"Where is my brother? Is he safe?"

Jimmy said,"We have kept him safe inside our fort. Even our soldiers are not allowed to enter there."

Cynane said,"Alright. I have to go to the King tomorrow. You have to send a message to my brother. Tell him to re-join the Barren Army tomorrow."

"Leave all that nonsense stuff. What did you know, tell us all the details with clarity." Hoover said impatiently.

Jimmy said,"Stains of blood are clearly visible in our costume. We have alerted you multiple times not to engage in fights, haven't we? It's very secret, you know."

"I did that to keep it secret, you idiot. I have to escape Barren beside the Barren Medics Area and an injured careless soldier of Barren had seen me escaping. He tried to catch me." Cynane replied harshly.

"What are you talking about? What happened then? What was his name, anyway?" Hoover asked anxiously.

"After that, I noticed that there are no ways to keep that secret other than killing him. Though he was seriously injured, he gave a very brutal fight. Look at my chest." Cynane replied. Then he showed that his chest was seriously deep-scarred.

Alan asked,"Then?"

"I took out my sword and after fighting intensely for sometime I killed him and beheaded him, throwing his head in the forest, to keep his identity secret."Cynane replied.

"And what was his name? Could you be able to identify him?"Jimmy asked anxiously.

"I was in the force for about two weeks. So remembering everyone's name is quite difficult. But that guy was quite crazy. That's why I remembered him. His name was...yeah his name was Charles Wood." Mortal Cynane replied.
