Captain, I have received news that the deception army has been destroyed," said one of the troops. Noah got schocked by the news, his face showed that Noah couldn't hide his emotions "What should we do captain? ' asked another troop. "No change, keep going sooner or later they will be found out. We can only pray that they don't know our group yet," said Kayla. "yes sir" said army at the same time. "Next time don't say it too loud. it could leak our identity, got it? If you understand,then don't say anything," Kayla said very calmly.
"You must be thinking about your sister, right?" said Kayla who was beside Noah. Noah was surprised, "how did she get here? I don't feel his presence at all" thought Noah. "Hmm? Why are you silent?" Kayla asked. "No, it's just that I'm really worried about the condition of my sister and my other friends," said Noah. "You know when you follow this mission you also know the risks, right??" said Kayla. "Don't let it bother you, knowing that the enemy has destroyed the distracting troops, we must be more careful with attacks," continued Kayla. Kayla then returned to her position.
"But it's true what she said, that they've managed to destroy the army of deception. That means, just waiting for when they will come here" thought Noah. They continued their journey. "We will soon enter the second checkpoint," said someone at the front of the formation. "we have entered the second checkpoint? That means we're one way to go" thought Noah.
Scene back to Battleground
Oda, Xander and the Captain of the 2nd Division have saved several people. They were now heading to the fourth division where Anna was. They were surprised by more corpses than in the rest of the formation. "what is this?" said a surprised Oda. "Yeah, there are more corpses here than anywhere else," said Xander. "look there it looks like there are some people left" said the Captain of the 2nd Division, pointing to someone. They immediately approached the person. "keep aware, we don't know if it was our team or enemy team" said the 2nd Division Captain.
"what is this? Are there any other enemies?" said the person. "Hey Xander," said Oda. "Yeah, do you think all of this is because she did it??" said Xander. "what? It turns out that Xander and Oda," said Anna, who looked not excited to meet Xander and Oda. "You know her?" asked the captain of the 2nd division. "Yes, rather than knowing him, to be precise she is our friend's sister" said Xander. "An-anna, who finished them all off, could it be you?" asked Oda with a doubtful feeling. "Yeah, you could say that," answered Anna casually. "how can you do it?" Xander asked. "Well you could say, I beat all of them" said Anna casually while holding her shoulder. "s-she, really looks like Noah" thought Oda and Xander at the same time. "By the way, you guys are good enough, you can survive after the bombs attack." said Anna. "Yeah, you can say it like that" said Xander with a small laugh. " it means y'all not too weak" said Anna.
"So, what should we do now?" she asked. "We'll stay in the capital city, at least that's the best option for now." Said the captain of the 2nd division, "why don't we go back to the city?" Xander asked. "It's possible that there are enemy troops in the city as well, meanwhile in the capital there are many royal knights so the enemy can't attack us there, maybe the others think like that too," said the captain of the 2nd division. "Well, what can we do?" said Xander. "By the way, which horse will I ride? it Looks like y'all don't bring horse for me " Anna asked. "You can ride with me" said Oda. "huh? Are you kidding?" said Anna with a little anger. "You will sit with Xander, i will take your horse," said Anna who then mounted the horse. "she's really selfish just like his brother" thought Oda and Xander in unison.
"By the way, Anna are you get hurt?" asked Oda. "No, it's just that I feel a little tired," said Anna. "Hold on, at least it's still about 2 hours untill we get to the next town." said Xander. They continued their journey to the next town. "We have arrived, we should buy clothes and food to go to the capital. We will split up, we will regroup after one hour" said the captain of the 2nd division. "By the way, what's your name captain?" asked Anna, "my name is Kervil" said Kervil. "Okay I'll call you kervil" said Anna casually. They separated and immediately bought their respective needs.
After an hour they got back together.
"Have you bought everything you need?" asked Kervil, "yeah" they all answered. "We really can't rest here can we?" said Anna. "No, it can be dangerous here, we have to go to the capital immediately" said Kervil. "Okay," said Anna. They continued their journey towards the capital.
Scene back to division 1.
"We will soon reach the third checkpoint," said the troops in the front position of the formation. "Good, we will spend the night there," said Kayla. "huh? Why are we going to spend the night here? Isn't from here we can go straight to the capital and the task is done?" thought Noah. All members immediately rested.
The morning has come
"Everyone wake up" Kayla said to the whole squad. The entire army immediately got up and immediately marched. "From here we will go straight to the capital. This will be the last trip on our mission. Stay careful with enemy attacks," said Kayla. "Ready" said the whole team. "Then get ready," said Kayla. The whole army immediately got ready and they set off for the capital.
"This is weird" Noah said "why?" Kayla asked, why is there a forest that full with giant trees near the capital like this?" said Noah. "So what?" Kayla asked, "Wouldn't this be the perfect place to commit crimes?" said Noah. "Come to think of it, you're right too." Said Kayla who realized what Noah meant. "Everyone, be careful. When you think about it, this place could be the most dangerous place compared to what we've been through," said Kayla who told her troops to be alert.
Suddenly, at the front of the formation there was an explosion so large that all of the troop thrown quite far. Noah then hit a tree causing his head got a headache. Then a lot of people screaming. The still dizzy Noah didn't know what had happened. Then someone stabbed Noah in the stomach. Noah immediately realized what had happened. Noah immediately hit the person very strongly. "Enemy ambush huh?" Noah said while holding his stabbed stomach.
"Your plan was very successful" said someone wearing a black suit. "Those who carry out a strategy like this must be an amateur." Said the blue-haired person with red eyes casually while smoking . "Making the feint troop and the original team go a different route while hiding is very basic." The man continued. "This is your payment," said the man wearing a black suit who handed the suitcase to the blue-haired man.
The man wearing the suit go to the area and took the item that guarded by the 1st division and went to check on the person protected by the 1st division's troops. "Looks like he really is dead huh?" said the man who then he immediately left the area. "I'll leave the rest with you okay?" said the man to the man who was relaxing. "Calm down," said the man who was relaxing. He immediately turn off his cigarette and then got up and walked to the area. "Okay, let's see who still survives". "Wow, they're really weak to be guard for such a very important things. i think the people who hire them does'nt want to spend a lot of money huh?" said the man as he walked along the place.
"this….is The corpses of my troops, it seems that there is still one hope in their team" said the man while looking for the man who did that to his troops. "He seems pretty great too huh" said the man while praising the person. "But..." said the man whose speech was not finished. He then immediately caught Noah's face and slammed him into the ground with great force. "It's just not enough to beat me," continued the man.
