( World Announcement...)
(World Announcement)
(World Announcement) system's voice resounded throughout the minds of every island owner who was at level 1 of the Nuswantoro world.
(Test 2 has been opened...
It was requested that each island ruler prepare 100 warriors to participate in the war between races...
Victory will earn the official title of owner of the island and have the qualification to reach level 2.....
Defeat dies and everything that the defeated lord has will belong to the victorious ruler…)
Then the system voice fell silent.
Danis, who heard the announcement now has a very serious face. On the other hand, this change in Danis did not escape Maximus and Rias, only later they also realized not to disturb Danis.
After waiting for a while Danis finally managed to stabilize his mind and heart, even though at this time he felt the feeling of fear of death so close.
Compared to before where he seemed quite confident in holding on to his life.
Danis never thought that in the end of the second exam there was only one way, namely to win while losing was another way which meant defeat Danis didn't want to think about it.
After he initially realized his new goal, the situation suddenly changed and in this case it was like answering Danis' determination, testing whether he would be able to survive or not.
So right now, mixed feelings flooded Danis. On the other hand he also realized that whatever it was everything had happened, now he could only move on.
"Ha...." The sound of deep breathing that came out of Danis's mouth immediately drew all the attention from Maximus, Rias and the soldiers.
Those who saw Danis at the beginning stopped and pondered not thinking too far, but then when they saw the serious face of Danis they realized that their master must have something important that was currently thinking about them, especially when they saw Maximus and also Rias who were waiting for Danis with Be patient.
"Sir, are you all right?" Maximus's voice came asking Danis.
"Yeah Danis are you okay?" Rias' worried voice was also heard.
Hearing their concerned and worried tone, Danis's heart warmed up, and subconsciously she understood again that if she lost the second test then both Rias and Maximus would practice with other people, thinking about this Danis who already considered the two closest people became unwilling and angry.
(I can't lose....no matter what I have to win) Danis makes a decision with full determination.
"I'm fine, there's only important information that I got and I think we should immediately return to the castle and discuss it" replied Danis to the two of them which made them relieved by what Danis said.
"Okay sir then, let's go back to the castle immediately" Maximus received orders from Danis and immediately ordered the troops to move faster towards the castle.
Along the way when the Danis group passes, many ordinary people will see the Danis group nodding respectfully at him.
Seeing this, Danis is quite happy, it's just a shame he can't see further the changes that are happening in the city in detail because now he is in a race against time to prepare for a very important event in his life.
Arriving at the castle, Danis was greeted by Rachel and the maids there.
After asking Rachel to make copies of the food and drinks to be delivered to her study, the three of them immediately headed to Danis' study in the castle.
"This time I got very important news, it was announced that tomorrow we together with 100 soldiers will be sent to the battlefield between races, our mission there is only one survive and win, if we lose death will come and in the end we will not be able back to the island" Danis immediately dropped very shocking news to Maximus and Rias as well.
"War??? Interracial??
"And tomorrow??? You're not wrong Danis?" Both Maximus and Rias replied full of expressions of disbelief at what Danis said.
But then they found that Danis's face didn't change and instead her stern and dignified expression showed, seeing this both Maximus and Rias knew that what Danis said was all true.
There was no lie within him, but for some reason the reactions from Rias as well as from Maximus after just being shocked the rest returned to normal like something that usually happened.
Seeing this, Danis became curious and asked the two of them, "Why are your reactions so normal?" Danis asked in surprise.
"Sir, isn't this a normal thing?" replied Maximus.
"That's right Danis these are all normal things, power struggles between one and the other" Rias added.
"Yes, I know, but it's a bit strange to see your reaction, let's just skip that topic" Danis then said something else.
"We're only allowed 100 soldiers in which case you two seem to be in it, so any suggestions on the arrangements of the soldiers we'll be bringing along?" Danis asked Maximus and Rias for advice.
"Do you know what kind of Medan is waiting for us there?" Maximus started asking questions.
"I also don't know about that, what is clear is that we have to assume with extreme terrain" Danis thought for a moment then answered Maximus' question.
"This information is too little sir, if you get more it will really help us in making preparations" replied Maximus again.
"Is it okay to do that for the time being that I got, later if there is additional information I will let you know but right now there is only that" Danis replied again.
"Danis...because we don't know what kind of terrain we will go to and what enemies we will find, it's better to just take the elite route" Rias gave input to Danis.
"Ohhh...the elite route....yes you're right, we can take this Rias" replied Danis again agreeing with the proposal given by Rias.
"I also agree sir, it's better for us to take all soldiers with level 2, because with their strength we can have more insurance on the battlefield," replied Maximus again.
"Ok I know that, it's true because most of our opponents probably brought level 1 soldiers, so level 2 soldiers were a big surprise which would make the war more unpredictable, but on the other hand we only have level 2 archers!" Danis said with some regret.
"Sir, we can combine, with a combination of level 1 soldiers, especially on the field it has become common for warriors to break through levels, and from the results I know our level 1 soldiers have almost broken through to level 2 so in this case it is tantamount to bringing entire troop at level 2" Maximus countered.
"Don't forget about transportation, if you only focus on soldiers but forgetting about transportation is tantamount to crippling soldiers on the battlefield, moreover earlier Danis you said that maybe the terrain that will be used in war is an extreme field.
In that case then the light cavalry horse we have is a much needed element." Rias added her suggestion.
On the other hand, Danis and Maximus, who listened to Rias' suggestions, nodded as a sign of agreement. This could not be separated from the fact that what Rias said was a necessity, where troop mobilization is important in attacking and defending on the battlefield.
But then the question is whether this horse can pass?? Because outside of 100 soldiers, and horses can also be categorized as individuals in war.
"But will our warhorse escape??" Danis expressed his doubts.
"Sir, just make us and all the soldiers in light cavalry equipment so in this case we become one with the war horse, and there is no reason to refuse" Maximus gave his idea.
"Ahhhh...you're right Maximus we can use that method, why am I being stupid" Danis innocently ridiculed himself, but on the other hand he also felt happy because in the end he got a lot of very good suggestions.
"Then what kind of troop composition will we bring?" Danis once again asked the question.
"I think, at least there should be around 30-50 archers, for the rest, 30 swords and 18 spears, to be balanced" Rias replied in response to Danis's request.
"How about you Maximus?" Ask Danis.
"I feel sir, we only need two types of warriors 50 archers and the remaining 48 swords, as for the reason none other than this is very balanced the archers can be led by Rias, as a magician Rias can provide the same ranged attacks as the archers, as for me As a level 2 warrior you can say that you are skilled in close combat, and this time with 48 other sword warriors, it is something that is very suitable to be paired with Rias as a mage and arrow warriors, so that our attack and defense will be good" Maximus said long to your maxi.
" Ahhh I also agree with Maximus Danis' suggestion, I think it's better than mine" Rias also agreed with Maximus' proposal.
"Ok then it's decided that's all, the rest with the existing horses we can be said to have a different level up.
It's just that back again there must be a mature strategy to form cooperation between you and the other soldiers, because even though you look very good but in the case of your teamwork you still have many obstacles that are quite disturbing the strategy in the war that we will face, so here I ask you to train both sword warriors and archers simultaneously with the addition of magicians, and see how they work together.
Even though this is very tight but it's better than us not doing it" Danis said again giving his overall analysis.
