Chapter 3
A black long haired high priest ran towards the forest of Comodo. Her deviruchi pet ran along with her.
They stopped in front of a tall tree, a green spike haired man was seen sleeping on the highest branch of the tree.
"George!", the high priest shouted. But, the man didn't seem to awake. "George Bardahl!!", she shouted again. But the result was the same. "For the love of gods, do I always need to use violence to wake him up?", she muttered to herself.
"Devi", she called her pet. "Use your Brandish Spear on this tree", she commanded. Her pet nodded, and cut the tree by using the brandish spear.
CRASH!
The tree fell to the ground along with the sleeping man. "OW,OW!!", the man named George screamed when he hit the ground. "Why did you do that, Olivia? I could get killed you know?", he shouted while trying to stand .
"Sorry, I tried to wake you up quite nicely, but since you are the biggest dummy on Sagramore, it didn't work at all", the girl named Olivia explained.
"Hey, I'm not a dummy. I'm a Champion!!", George protested. "Look at me, Olivia. My job is a Champion. I'm wearing the champion's attire, can't you see?", he continued.
"To me, you are the champion of dummies", Olivia replied calmly. "What?" George shouted again.
"OK, I don't have time to hear your protest anymore. We have another things to do" Olivia continued.
"Oh, really?", George replied. "Yes, Alexandria has arrived today, bringing another victory with her. My father told us to meet her and the generals right after the soldiers break", Olivia explained.
"Wow, another meeting right after a little war? But, that does sound like our Alexandria. Since we managed to move our base to Comodo Island, she had led us to at least 5 victories against Valdomir's strongholds", George replied.
"And we will defeat their entire strongholds once we managed to bring the rest of our soldiers from Gonryun. Now, let's get going!! And you too, Devi" Olivia ordered both her pet and her childhood friend. And then they ran to their base at Comodo.

After 15 minutes of running, they managed to reach their base at Comodo. The soldiers have arrived and currently resting in many tents they prepared before in the entire city.
"Finally, what took you so long?" a twin tailed yellow haired paladin greeted Olivia & George. "Sorry, Felicia. This dummy made us late", said Olivia while pointing her finger at George.
"Hey, I run as fast as I could!", George tried to defend himself. "Well, you should run faster, chump!" Olivia replied. "What? What did you say?", George shouted.
"Quit it you two! The meeting will start now. Better get going inside before we're late, ok?", the girl named Felicia tried to cool down the two friend. "OK", George & Olivia replied at the same time.
They entered a big tent not too far from Comodo's beach. "You wait outside, Devi" ordered Olivia to her pet.
A big meeting between Fiorentin and her generals are being held inside. "Ok, now I will explain our current situation", said Fiorentin while pointing at the map of Midgard. Her generals paid some attention while she was explaining things.
"Since some of you came from outside of the main land, I'll explain our current location first. We are now on Comodo Island, one of the regions on the main land of Rune Midgard. From here, if we go straight to the right side of the map, we will reach the Sograt Desert", she started.
"As you already know, Valdomir Kingdom created 5 guilds in order to maintain their power in Midgard. Elysion Guild, with Glast Heim and Geffen area as their territory. Erebus Guild, with the Volcano Dungeon as their territory. Acheron Guild, with Niffleheim as their territory. Lethe Guild, with Payon area as their territory. And Phelegethon Guild, with Prontera and Izlude area as their territory" she continued.
"Their biggest stronghold, The Thanatos Tower, which is also their current residence, are busy fighting The Republic of Schwaltzvalt. We should take advantage of this situation, because the only reinforcements they have now is their 5 guilds. If we manage to defeat all of them, we will have a bigger chance of winning this war!" she finished.
The generals whispered to each other. "Will it work" or "we will need an good plan" was among the things they whispered. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but can I ask you something princess?" said one of the generals.
"Yes, General Hagi" Fiorentin replied. "It was a brilliant suggestion from you, but how are we exactly going to carry out the plan? Although there are only 5 guilds, they have hundreds of monster soldiers. Not to mention, they also have a prominent human warriors to fight for them" said the man named Hagi.
"I realized that fact. That's why we need a new base first which is located not far from one of the guilds. And then, we carry out the plan of defeating the guilds, one by one. Since this Comodo Island is too far to reach any of the guilds", Fiorentin answered calmly. The Generals heard her explanation seriously.
"And I suggest, we should make Alberta as our new base. Because Alberta isn't managed by one of the guilds, there aren't many soldiers there. From our sources, they only have 30 soldiers there at the very least. And the security there isn't too thigh, not to mention that the sea transportation is good in that place. From Alberta, it will be a lot easier for us to carry our soldiers from Gonryun, and bring more weapons and foods for us", she continued.
"For the love of gods, she explained the whole plan like having a walk in the park!" George whispered to his friends. "Of course, although she is very young, she is the symbol of our hope. This kinda matter should be easy for her" Felicia replied. "And above all others, she is not a dummy like you" Olivia said while smiling. George grunted hearing her childhood friend teasing.
"It will take about a week from here to Alberta. Unfortunately, we can't go in a large numbers if we want to avoid the attention from Valdomir. So, I want 3 soldiers to accompany me to Alberta. We need to take control of Alberta before we make it as our new base, right? Can you pick 3 soldiers for me, General Dorn?", Fiorentin asked.
"Yes, I have 3 soldiers to accompany you princess", General Dorn replied to her questions. "My 2 daughters, Felicia Hammond and Olivia Hammond", he said. "And my best friend's son, George Bardahl".
"What?" General Hagi asked surprisingly. "My son? Are you serious, Dorn?" he asked. "Yes, why? He's a champion, just like you right?" Dorn replied. "He's not a champion, he's a dummy. He could threw some punches, but he never had a mission this big! All he ever did was beating a dozen soldiers!!" Hagi shouted.
"Dad, I'm not a dummy! I'm a champion!" George barged in trying to voice his mind. "You're the champion of dummies!!" Hagi shouted to George.
"Don't worry, General Hagi. I'm sure your son will be just fine. He will be accompanied by his two friends, right?" Fiorentin said calmly.
"Oh, ok. If Alexandria said that." Hagi replied. Looks like he gave up to this situation. "YES! Thank you, princess! I promise you won't be disappointed." George shouted happily.
"Hey, you two. I will be going on this mission!! Yeah!" he shouted to his two female friends. "Good for you, chump. You better not screw this mission, ok?" Olivia said to him. "I won't!!" Gorge replied loudly."Oh, c'mon you two. You guys are already 19 years old, stop acting like a kid" Felicia said, trying to cool down the two.
"Don't talk like that to us, Felicia. You're already 21 years old. You should go back to our base in Gonryun and marry someone, you know that?" Olivia replied to his older sister. "I'm not marrying anyone until this war is over, got it?" Felicia said back.
"You three are lively as ever, huh?" Fiorentin asked the three calmly. "Now, I announce the end of this meeting. All of you can go to rest now. And you guys, we'll be going tomorrow morning, so have a good sleep" Fiorentin said calmly while walking out from the tent. "Morning? Do we have morning here in Comodo?" George whispered to himself.
****
Later that night…
Fiorentin was seen sitting in the beach, alone. Only the sands in the beach and the stars in the sky accompany her. She was holding a Rosario on her hand.
"Praying again?" Felicia came from her behind.
"Yes. I couldn't sleep" An honest respond for the Paladin.
Felicia sat besides her and takes a good look on her Rosario.
"You prayed for Valdomirs human soldiers again, huh?"
"I don't think it's right to kill our kind. They are Midgard's people who were forced to be Valdomirs. I won't stop praying for them, maybe my whole life" The lord knight said while looking at her Rosario.
Felicia sighed, "I wonder when we will see those peaceful days again".
"Maybe sooner than we thought? Who knows god will give us a great help, right?" The former princess replied with a smile. The paladin nodded and returned the smile.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Alberta....
Elraven has just arrived from one of the ship. "So, this is Alberta of Midgard? The port town? Seems old to me" he muttered to himself. "Oh well, better get going for the mission. I wonder how I will take control of this town. God, please guide me with your knowledge", he whispered to himself while walking slowly, trying to find something to eat.
