Three-Ways Battle - Part 5
Powan and Julius met secretly in the darkroom. "I have something to report to you, Sir Julius." Commander Powan looked at Julius with a stern look. Julius straightened his back when he heard this from the usually calm Commander Powan.
"What is it? Is it something serious?" Julius was making a guess in his head what happened to cause the Legend Rank Warrior to be like this. Then he realized that his question sounded stupid. It was certainly something serious or else, Sir Powan would not meet him privately.
"Yes, this is about our provision, Lord Julius. I have reported to Minister Arjen about the fall of Braum City and asked to prepare additional provisions for our army." Sir Powan shook his head in regret. "Unfortunately, the Sunfire Kingdom does not have any reserve provision because our neighborhood kingdom attacked our border. We can't rely on my kingdom for the provision."
"Huh!? The neighborhood kingdom attacked the Sunfire Kingdom? Why all of a sudden? I thought the Sunfire Kingdom was at peace with the neighboring kingdom; that's why you agreed to work together with me?" Julius was baffled by the surprising news.
"I don't know how, but it seemed our enemy knew that the Sunfire Kingdom had been sent into Lukan, so they took this chance to attack. From the situation, the kingdom to the Sunfire Kingdom's west is also preparing their army as well." Sir Powan sighed in regret while lowering his gaze. "If the situation worsened, Prime Minister Arjen would be calling me back to the kingdom."
Julius' countenance paled when he heard the last part. He gripped the table tightly, and the cracking wooden's noise could be heard in the room. "You are joking, right, Sir Powan? Will the Sunfire Kingdom back down from our contract? Do you know the consequences of breaking the contract, right?"
"Calm down, Sir Julius. We never planned to break the contract, but we will just delay the attack until we are done with the neighborhood kingdoms. After that, I will return with the other Commanders. That's the worst scenario." Sir Powan shook his head. "Of course, I am not going now. If the condition worsens, I will return to my kingdom in a week or even in three days. So, I will still be with you for at least three days, and we have to make something happen in these three days."
Julius opened his mouth, but no words came from him. He badly wanted to curse out at the Sunfire Kingdom and Sir Powan. They had taken the payment, and he also promised them the Warmir Kingdom and the Malecia Kingdom's territory. But he put himself in the Sunfire Kingdom's perspective as well and understood their decision.
If the Sunfire Kingdom fell, then they would not be able to help him. Sir Powan was right that he had to do something with Sir Powan here with him. He had to exploit the Legend Rank Warrior to solidify the Revolution Army in the Ortis Continent. "Then, do you have something in your mind we can do, Sir Powan?"
"Yes, I have two plans, but it's for you to decide, Sir Julius." Sir Powan smiled and nodded. "First, we can attack the Lionax Kingdom now. We gather our full force and take the Right-Wing Guardian's head. My subordinates reported to me that the Left-Wing Guardian Lorion, the Headmaster Larry, King Emerson, and Archduke Semea left the city. From the direction they were leaving, I could confirm they were about to confront your Master's force. However, they don't go to Braum City…."
Sir Powan opened the scroll map and showed a direction where King Emerson went to. "My subordinates spotted the group here last. My subordinates had to go back since they had gone too far, but from the location, I don't think they are attacking Braum City."
Julius nodded and furrowed his brow. "Indeed, if the Lionax Kingdom wants to confront my Master's force, they should camp in this city, but they did not." He followed the route on the map, and he immediately understood what the Lionax Kingdom wanted. "They are going to attack My Master's backline or maybe cutting their path to retreat?"
"That's precisely my thought as well. They took our bait, but they went to a different location. We can't continue with our plan to assassinate King Emerson. However, it opens a new plan for us. We can fight this Right-Wing Guardian instead. I will take down the Right-Wing Guardian, and you kill him so that you can proceed to Primordial Rank. If we can execute this plan, the Lionax Kingdom will not make any move for the time being. Giving us more time to solve our problem. That's my first plan."
Julius' eyes shook when he heard a crazier plan than their initial plan. Assassinating King Emerson was crazy enough, but Sir Powan proposed something even crazier. However, he could understand why Sir Powan was confident in killing Robert Kingsley. It was because when the two Guardians fought Sir Powan, the latter still could escape safely. If it was just one of the Guardians, Sir Powan had a big chance of winning.
Julius did not immediately agree to it, and after some thoughts, he shook his head. "That's too reckless. We don't know if the Lionax Kingdom has something on its sleeve. What about the second plan, Sir Powan?"
"I know you will not agree with my first plan." Sir Powan let out a sigh and moved his index finger to point at Braum City. "We will give up this strategic position and confront your Master. We will take back Braum City to secure your army's provision and also for you to advance to Primordial Rank. I will be the spearhead and kill your Master while you and my subordinates take care of your Master's force. Those monsters should be enough for you to advance to Primordial Rank, Sir Julius. This way, we can secure the food and also secure your path to Primordial Rank."
Both plans were required to face Legend Rank Knight, which was too risky. However, if he had to choose, he would prefer to fight his Master than the Lionax Kingdom. The Lionax Kingdom had been standing for over a hundred years, and his Master's accumulated force was less than thirty years. The Lionax Kingdom might have something on its sleeve, but his Master used all he had in this attack.
"Let's take back Braum City, Sir Powan." Julius came up with a decision.
