Soldier!

Dre was watching this conversation.

he was also terrified.

He said to Oswald in a faint voice.

He was weak indeed. but he sees no choice here .

Osward got dumbfounded by his request.

My prince¡,....'we can't do this. It is our enemies territory,. don't worry I will set us free.

Please stay strong with me a little.

I made my plegde to the queen to protect you with my life and I will not betray the royal throne.

he assured.

"It is of no use anymore..." Dre replied him. He was sounding more casual now. Don't you see

.They will kill us even.! This is the only chance to save us. Work with him.....please. Dre was now crying alot. His eye turn pale and red, sore all round.

' I....I don't think so...Then you going to let us die here. How will you fufill your promise to my mother and the throne .

Merely remembering the queen, Dre cried more and unable to control the affection, Oswald had to accept. Immediately he shouted out Guardss!!....

A soldier at watch replied moving closer to Oswald.

I will conform to his general request... Please save him..

Oswald says pointing to Dre whom have fainted already.

AMSTURD

◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️

Time flies by...

week after weeks.

Lord Dresans was standing outside the castle attending to a group of knights in amour. A big golden eagle came by and landed on the Arrow slits opening.

Screeching and manipulating it's actions.

Lord Dresans called out. "Sky come here. The bird came landing on his shoulder. He is the master!

After a while the bird flew off...he spoke to his knights and they dispatched in their full armory.

I want him deadm He should die. Dead! Lucky bastards.!!!

The bird was sent by him to watch on the prince and he always bring about the whereabouts.

And the message brought back was not pleasing to Lord Dresans. He became worried and decided that after the meeting with the council see the deity priestess.

Here he would get his answers regarding the prophecy of the king of kingdoms.

******Back in the fortress of Gath,

The soldier stood in rows. There standing In front of them all were the generals of the three divisions of Gath. Fortress ioni, Dcus and belsha.

Here is ioni..under the countrol of general cheng. And these are the remains of Gaths fortresses, because much have been destroyed during the war.

During Lord Darius time, both kingdom already signed the treaty of peace and not to disturb other neighbouring nation's with the war. And ever since Dresans came on the throne of Amsturd, he chase the merchants from the borders of Armsturd. and there was a record of fourth fifth killed traders on the ioni coast. And this period was drought.

(story teller)

Standing in line was osward. He wore the similar dress code to all other trainees.

Perhaps he is now a gath. He wore a wreak on his face and added a smile which he barely wants.

This address was to inform everyone that the fortress will be attacked soon by the west. And some soldiers would need to move to the fortress Decus, where the attack will take place. Among the men dispatched was Osward.

He carried his helmet and a short sword( he was never used to Short swords. The ones in Amsturd was long length call the tigher breadth. And he had lost his in the fight with Dresans knight )

*******

The time of war is also a time of cold hearted affection. Seeing men laying lifeless on the floor was another outcome of war aside destruction of properties.

when the people can't defend themselves.

Osward fought alongside the Gath soldiers. dealing with every blow aimed at him.

He sees no eegret fighting his own

.

The soldiers of Gath are good fighters too but seeing them being outnumbered they call for retreat. The other army took retreat as they lost a lot men. Lord Dresans would not stop until every bit of Gath is burned.

A message was left and retrieved from a soldier who left fleeing.

*********

Many days passes and Dre was taken to the Place. he then lost all contacts to Oswald. why?

...."the sound of horn was heard. The arrival of the soldiers sent to decus...they Dre watched in closed to see osward but he is nowhere to be found.

"The fortress is down was what the general muttered.

We need to protect here before the would march further.He called out to general Cheng.".. inform the King.
