Eps 25: Strategy Settings
Spring, 24 March 1163 Zaenium.
Duchy Zerestia Mansion, Zamara Kingdom.
Duke Fazerin de Zerestia II, who was also one of the four Great Generals of the Zamara Kingdom, was walking towards his study. There, it was already waiting for his subordinate Nobles and someone new.
“Ah, you finally came too, Marquis Ezar de Atlanta.” Duke Fazerin.
Marquis Ezar de Atlanta was a noble of the rank of Marquis, and was his subordinate within the royal structure. The territory he managed was in the western part of Duchy Zerestia. That meant, he was at the northwestern end of the Zamara Kingdom, and was directly adjacent to the Zaenia Empire.
Due to his ability and persistence in fighting against the invasion of the Empire, he earned the title of General, equivalent to Marquis Falimus de Harbisium and Count Azuma de Morsela.
His body was slender, but not thin, only slightly contained. His muscles did not protrude on the shirt, but it could be seen if he opened it. Her hair is short shaved. And his blue eyes are sharp like the eyes of an eagle ready to prey on a rabbit.
“No need formal so, Duke.” Reply Marquis Ezar smiled kindly. “Of course, if called, I will come as soon as.”
“Haha, that's what I like about you. Deft. By the way, please sit down first.” Duke. They sat on the sofa in the middle of the room. “What about your region if you leave it?”
“Liet me, my son I've trained hard. At the very least, he was already at the Commander level now.”
The marquis drank the tea the waiter delivered.
“Very good.” Further. “Then, what happened this time? The Demon King of the Redwood Forest? Funny joke.”
“You definitely won't come when you think it's just a joke.” The Duke looked into his eyes.
“Hehe, of course not. I'm not playing around on this. It was just a joke to lighten the mood. Anyway, it's because you're the one who looked moody from earlier.” Her words chuckled.
“So, you can know it, yes?”
“We've been close since childhood. Of course I can figure it out.” The marquis sipped some more tea. In addition to being sultry after a long trip, it was also to smooth his throat. “They can feel it too. It's just, it must be bad to tell you.”
“Tu– Mr. Ezar,” Duke Fazerin's right hand, Marquis Berliano de Zister, speak a little loudly.
He wanted to stop the Marquis. However, interrupting him was a bad ethic for a Noble, let alone himself who was a Marquis and his family was only a branch family of the Zerestia family. That would be a huge tarnish for the Zerestia family.
After all, it had already happened, and the words that came out could not be pulled back.
He was stared at sharply by Duke Fazerin. Then Marquis Ezar turned his head to the right, towards him. Smiling as usual.
“It's okay to say it, Berliano. You must dare say if Duke made a mistake.”
For now, Berliano feels safe and can breathe with relief. Then, he heard Duke sigh.
“Age of age, I have only ever faced an Imperial invasion and monster attacks from the Blackwood Forest, or the Redwood Forest.” Duke. “Even with a Devil has never been. And now, I've been confronted with the Demon King.”
“Oya, yes. So, you feel inferior, nih?” god Ezar. “Where did Duke Fazerin once so valiantly face and defeat the Imperial army?”
“Mr Ezar, say so to a Duke it feels ...”
Speech restrained.
“It's okay. I guess I'm a little pessimistic. With you by my side, I won't feel scared anymore.”
The Duke stood up and sat down in his chair.
“King has sent a decree. The Great General will come and attack from the south. Marquis Harbisium will attack from the west. And we will besiege and attack from the north and east. I command your troops to attack from the north.” Said explained.
“Then, I will return again to organize my troops.” Marquis Ezar left.
I don't know which way this battle is going. And I don't know what it's gonna look like.

Spring, 25 March 1163 Zaenium.
Daytime.
“Marquis recruits Adventurers to become an extra team?” ask Laciel.
They are now in the Adventurer's inn. Just the three of them, plus Nameer.
“Iya. But, its nature is only voluntary, then later will be given a gift. And those who kill monsters will get an extra reward.” Nadja. He had accidentally heard the news while going out to buy food. “And special group of Adventurers who are rated capable, they are invited and offered exclusive gifts. One of them is our group.”
Laciel pondered for a long time. His initial intention, he sought information from the Nobles, and would later descend directly into the battlefield as a Demon King. Of course, he would wear a mask to cover his face, and change his clothes. He did not expect that he would be invited by the Marquis.
“Why do we include?” ask Hana. “What is the reason? Did they tell you?”
“No, they didn't tell. But, it might just be because of Laciel. The news of him conquering the Blade Tiger had already spread to here. Although, many also doubted it, because what he brought now here was a cute cat and not Blade Tiger.” Answer Nadja.
As they were still warmly talking about it, someone knocked on the door of the room.
Fortunately, they are ready and installed anti-sound barrier, so it will not be heard outside. Even though I can hear the sound from outside.
Hana deactivates the barrier, then lets the person in.
It was one of the officers who worked.
“Sorry, Sir and Misses. There's a VIP guest who wants to talk to you.” His words explained his arrival.
...*****...
Laciel tried to guess who was mentioned as the VIP guest. The three of them–Nameer already slept on top of mattress–walking up to the fourth floor. The layout is almost similar to the Adventurers Union Building of Blackwood County. What is different is the total floor that is one more difference.
On the fourth floor this is an inn and a special room for guests or VIP Adventurers. Not just anyone can enter it, even if only to set foot there, even for Hana first.
Union officials took them to a very special room, more specialized than others. If so, then the person he was going to meet was indeed very important.
When they entered it, there were already waiting for two people. The officer just drove them and didn't go inside. All he did last time was close the door and leave as if nothing had happened.
“Sit down," said a very large middle-aged man with his prominent muscles.
To find out who they were, Laciel only needed to chant the Appraisal spell and look at it.
[Name : Gilzura | Race : Human
Title: Guild Master of the March Harbisium branch.
Combat Power: A]
If he is a Guild Master, then, the real guest is ....
Laciel turned his eyes to a middle-aged man in a nice robe whose body was smaller than a Guild Master. Looks slimmer with some prominent muscles. His sitting style was very elegant like a noble.
[Name : Falimus de Harbisium | Race: Man
Title: Head of the House of Harbysium, Marquis Harbisium, General of the Kingdom of Zamara.
Combat Power : A+]
Marquis came to see me himself? Laciel was unable to hide his shock. I don't know what reason he should use to refuse his invitation later.
The three of them sat on the sofa, with Laciel in the middle. Marquis in front of them. And Guild Master was on the right, as an intermediary and a neutral party in this discussion.
“So, how can I help you, Mr Marquis Harbisium?”
