The battle was now on two fronts, one brought the fight to the capital city and the other to the queen of the Kingdom, herself.
Yuuka had to decide, which one he would go for, by himself the queen or the capital.
The choice wasn't obvious to go for one, which of them held risk and the potential consequence but he knew he could be in two places at one time. Even if he was, it was impossible to handle such a situation alone.
Vincent and Levi were there for the suggestion of his placement in the battle, they have worked under him for a long time and would have a better understanding than anyone about his needs in different situations.
Between the thought process, several soldiers had gathered outside, it was roaring time due to the open announcement of the long-range weapon and an enemy infiltrating the city, they wanted to conquer.
"What is going on there?"
Vincent went outside to confront the soldiers and questioned them about their actions.
"Captain, I am not sure what the commander is doing here. We need to attack the queen, she is the centre of the defences, if she gets captured we will win. So, why aren't we attacking her right now."
"..."
Vicent knew replies like,' I do not need to tell you would only ruin and break the unity of the soldiers, so he tried to come up with a proper response.
He didn't need to do much as Levi came up from the tent giving his explanation.
"Because our army is trapped in the front of the castle. We need to get the capital because the people have the crown of the king lying inside. Why would they surrender to a leader who doesn't even stay in the capital and runs away during a siege? Would you?"
"I see..."
His condescending was able to throw off the soldiers, as they didn't understand the purpose of moving away and attacking from the sidelines.
In his words, he subconsciously tried to push the agenda that their great leader fights and walks with them in the battle.
The crowd cleared and they moved to their places, Levi moved back I the tent with Vicent, and before going in Levi noticed the sudden change in the wind.
"A storm is brewing on the outside. We need to get a place to hide under."
"A Strom? This could be big trouble for us. If shouldn't have rained in the middle of the summer."
A disease from cold or fever could spread out moreover wet clothes and weapons, without shelter a storm was a nightmare to the forces who stood in the open.
Yuuka never thought about a storm hitting them in the middle of the summer weapon of the country.
It hadn't ever rained in Yuuka's life in this period but the fortune was not in his favour this time. A storm was approaching him that too at high speed as the wind blew outside.
Amidst all this thought, Vincent gave his suggestion.
"I think you would go for the queen, Sir. The three captains will handle the capture of the capital here."
Vincent boldly asked Yuuka to go for the queen and leave the battle for the capital to the captains. Levi stood there and gave a nod to Vincent's words.
Yuuka was thinking the opposite at the moment, his evaluations made him think that he was more needed here than against the queen but Vincent's words made him think again.
"Can I hear your reasoning behind this?"
" The queen is hiding somewhere we don't know so, first we need to coordinate with our men in the front part which you said would be done for us. So, you need to escape 'Alone'."
"..?!"
Yuuka had said something like the voice would help them because they needed it but it was a big risk they were taking the part about him leaving the battlefield alone
"We need to get you to safety from the enemy weaponry by leaving its area. We will distract the castle guard, allowing the people who have inflicted to escape. After that, you should reach the port and find the queen with the new forces, which will be arriving within the next two days. While fighting the infiltrators, at the same time."
Vicent explains the whole theory behind Yuuka's lone escape. It was a plan, a very properly thought out plan. Yuuka was impressed by Vicent's deductions and understanding of the situation.
"I see, you are quite concrete on this one but are you sure you there can handle the entire castle crisis by yourself, the voice might turn on you at any moment and the enemy might have more tricks up their sleeves."
It wasn't that Yuuka didn't trust his captain they were amazing personalities and battle experts but they hadn't handled such a big take by themselves till now.
"Trust us, Sir. Quince is currently leading the front soldiers all by himself, There were chances that the foreign forces might turn on him but you still played a gambit right. We will get this victory before 'he' arrives."
Levi was the one who answered now, showing that they could handle big actions by themselves, they weren't just regular men running around Yuuka now. Levi had a complete change of attitude after he woke up from his slumber.
It was true that Quince was leading the front war forces on his own while Yuuka, Vincent and Levi we sitting in the back of the capital and of course, Levi had asked Yuuka to trust him and he was facing his own words again.
"Ok, I will set up a few things before I leave but I give the battle for the capital of the country to Captain Levi, Vincent Rose and Rargo Quince. I trust you. If you believe in me I will trust you too."
For those who believe in each other, only those can move forward in life. If that belief is broken, the very core of each life is shattered.
