The noble gone back to their layer, the guard go back to their spot and The Baron goes back to his diner.
Sitting just beside him, general Khiiro didn't move, didn't speak, didn't make a sound. Only his eye look around but always land back to the general.
The Baron then puts down his fork to drink a bit of his wine.
" General, as you saw before. Our land is corrupt "
Khiiro already knew that this would inevitably end with this kind of conversation.
" Yes sir " Khiiro said
" The rats of the main land are coming. But with my machine they will die before even seing our paradise from afar "
" Yes sir... "
The general felt wrong, felt sick. He was loyal, he believe in the same idea, yet something felt off.
" And now they all eat my hand. General, the noble eat my hand ! With this we can focuse on the real problem in our island " The Baron said
Khiiro stayed shut, he didn't want to say a thing, depend on the next course of Action of The Baron.
" The criminal, the down town. Lets face it, because of those person the life in the capital has been nothing but horrible. But as you have already seen, I took care of this problem myself. "
" Yes sir "
" But you and I both know we won't just stop marchant, rich and soldier from coming into the island. No no ! They would need to be spy on, to be guide. We would need to control them. But where... "
Khiiro finally had the courage to speak, to ask but just a simple question.
" What do you mean sir ? "
" I like that you ask. Where they would be no tree " The Baron respond
The general was confuse, all the part with no tree had already been built on if not made for field use.
" We are going to build more house, more of our military boats. We'll built it all for our land. All for our people. All so that they believe in us "
Khiiro still felt like the Baron hid something, he did believe.
" But for now. Just for now, something are better to be discuce. Like the Tishoa situation, tell me how your going to deal with it "
" Well sir, our scout didn't find- "
The Baron punch the table with his fist, his smile dissapeared from his face. His eye looking straigth at the table.
" Continue " he coldly said
" Our squad didn't find anything, they were not in the canyon nor in the forests. They are somewhere we didn't find yet "
" Send more scout, more squad just send more to finally catch them ! "
" Sir, we don't have that many stationary soldier that can be use. "
" But we can, we just finish a war, with those same soldier. But I see your point, thats why were going to hit two bird with one stone "
Khiiro was intrigue, he wonder where did the Baron was heading.
" I want a big portion of the forest out ! And with it the little remnant of those rats. "
" But sir, that would mean using most of our ressource " Said the general
" Thats why we just started getting rid of those criminal ! So that we could with start quickly on the cutting the trees and scouting for those rats "
" Sir, how long do you think this operation will take ? "
" Just about a month "
The general couldn't believe what he heard, he believe but he wasn't blind. No, that would be too short, that would be too soon and the worker and soldier would not adapt that fast.
" Sir- "
" General. Your suggestion is great, unable not to be heard but, you need to have a better understanding of the situation we are in. We are in a growth state ! We are growing are force, getting more place, and the end of war is always follow by the reconstruction and the growth of the population "
" Your right sir but still- "
" Your worry are not forgot general, I know the soldier might not love getting drag around, at first they would think so, but they would soon realize its for the good of the Island. And eithier way, the war is over, they need job and we need more space "
" If you say so sir "
The general didn't want to argue with The Baron, he would never try, never think. Why would he try.
The diner wasn't so great, he didn't taste anything but air and response from The Baron. That would be enough for him.
He leaves the castle, going down the very long stair to the the highpart, most of the structure there were are military porpuse. Some were use for stockage, orther, for other use that the General never care about since orther people cared about them.
Sepping foot on the stone walkway felt like a step right back into home. Walking down this particaliar street, the general could salute anyone and anything. But it was always just a simple " gooday "
Finally being in front of his home, the general wonder again, like he do, like he do all the time.
Quickly he stop his thought, getting inside his home he puts down his attire of general and go lay down of his bed, alone like he is.
Looking at his ceiling the general, is again, left wondering, but he doesn't want to. This time he doesn't want to. He didn't think he would ever be able too, but maybe he was over analysing, maybe it wasn't the most important things to think at the time.
He just went to sleep, because he needed too.
