ELECTUS 110 Forests Don't Move.

"Sire. I deeply apologize for interrupting, but we have trouble among us!"

Said the Guard under his breath.

"What happened? Take a deep breath and speak!"

Following the King's Command, the Guard took a deep breath after such panic which calmed him down a bit and proceeded to speak

"A lot of Soldiers are approaching Gaster Kingdom. We can't count from a far but they are at least 80, because many torches are s.h.i.+ning from a distance."

"Are you sure it isn't a forest fire? I mean the forest isn't too far away from the main road!"

Asked Mogranius who was no stranger to forest exploration.

"Forests don't walk Sir. If it was a forest Fire it would eventually get bigger. These are bits of lights set in a long orderly line moving towards us."

"Gaster Kingdom barely gets people travelling towards it anymore, and when it does it's almost never for good. People mostly leave from here."

Said King Michael reminding himself of why this could possibly be an attack and shortly after added

"If they are here to attack, we got the Electus' a.s.sistance along with his flawless group, not to mention we have over 100 Guards."

"If they are here for trouble. We will give them trouble. We have a deal King Michael. Let's protect our Kingdom."

Yelled Eric raising the overall morale.

Eric finally felt home in Gaster Kingdom. He lived for 15 years in that farmhouse but it never felt like home without his mother around, no matter how much Woldemir tried to fill her spot it just didn't work.

Woldemir is a person everyone should use as a father figure, not once did he yell at Eric, not to mention trying to "educate" him through force which is rather common in medieval times.

Which considerably means Woldemir already felt at home. For him home is near family, which is why he is as willing as Eric to fight for Gaster Kingdom.

Mogranius was born here. This is his home. His abandoned house was destroyed long ago, so a new one can be constructed but Gaster Kingdom is his home resulting to him having the most willpower to protect this financially disastrous Kingdom. It's a disaster but it's his home.

And of course Stefan being the brain of the Group, he can not risk for Gaster Kingdom to be invaded which inevitably would lead to King Michael being beheaded and taking his vast knowledge along with him.

He can at least grab a bow and pull back an arrow as far as anyone is concerned.

Meaning everyone in the dining room at least, have inspiration to fight for Gaster Kingdom.

"Let's go!"

As they reached the Kingdom walls, with their weapons drawn, they noticed that one Soldier separated from the approaching group positioned around 100 Yards away was approaching Gaster Kingdom.

War messengers were common in these medieval times. The Guard/Army Commanders ordered for one Messenger to pa.s.s down a request or order on the opposing Kingdom. If an agreement isn't to be reached, the attacking army tries to get their way in battle.

"State the message you have brought upon us Soldier."

Yelled King Michael from the comfort of the Kingdom walls he was standing on.

"We are the army of King Zar. The King of Gaster Kingdom. A Citizen has reported an invasion being brought upon you and we got here as fast as we could to aid your Highness in Battle."

King Michael let out a loud long

"Oh" before continuing to say

"I'm most pleased by the King's Concern but this is simply a misunderstanding. What your Citizen reported are considerably our new badge of troops."

"That is right. I'm the King of Lan Zhe and i have reached an agreement with King Michael."

"You? With all due respect, you seem like a child and didn't the town of Lan Zhe and its people disappeared ages ago?"

"You are right on both terms. But you see King Michael on the flesh talking to you. If we invaded this Kingdom, King Michael would be long gone."

Pointed out Commander Alia.

"I suppose you do have a point. I will go inform the Guard Commander!"

"The moon arose a bit ago, tell the Guard Commander that I'm inviting all of you to spend the night on the Kingdom. They don't need to camp outdoors as we have plenty of houses to spare. Tomorrow morning they may return back to Pameres Kingdom. Can you remember all of that sir Messenger?"

Asked King Michael in such a kind tone. He felt moved of the King's concern and a.s.sistance.

"Indeed your highness. I will deliver the message shortly."

The messenger shortly after ran towards his group and there was a noticeable sprint on his run. He was likely happy that a blood thirsty battle didn't break for nothing.

"Well that solves that problem. Now come with me. Don't worry about the rest, I settled a deal with Zar which should bring a bit of profit at least, that's why he is offering a.s.sistance. Now let's go ahead and talk about our next move."

He said casually and after turned to the Guards and said

"When Zar's Soldiers approach, lead them to the most recently abandoned houses. Let them feel comfortable for the night. They shall depart tomorrow."

"Yes, your Highness!"
