"Then where are we going for today."
"We need to settle down for a night in the way and plan for the attack tomorrow. We will not totally lead this soldiers but let them lead themselves. No worries because I will be giving them a chance to get away from the war tomorrow. If they survived this challenge then they will be train them to be the best cavalry in the army."
The Vice Captain was still hesitant but agreed. Cavalry was their best assets in terms of war as there country produces the best horses. They were the highest ranks when it comes to being a soldier and they also receive the worst trainings that can cause life so the thought that they will be trained as cavalry then this war is worth it.
"Wait. So we will just let be theirselves?"
"Don't worry. This was already planned. Incase the recruits cant just do it then the generals army will cover for the. This is just risky but not risky at all. It will be a test for recruits." The Vice Captain nodded.
"It is getting late. We will need to set a camp here."
"Halt! We will set up the camp here!" Everyone just nodded and agreed as they started to fix their things. The soldiers are quite tired walking so they just sit down on the floor and drink some water. Everyone is busy on their own thing.
In one corner, Amishta was surrounded by her probably acquaintances and new founded friends. They are all not talking with each other but they were quite harmonious silently. They were probably not that close with each other but the environment was not awkward but rather comfortable for everyone.
"It seems that we are on a secret mission. We are obviously not going to the border camp." Marco predicted and looked as if asking the group for their opinion.
"I agree. But what can we, new recruit, do for a secret mission?" Zion asked. Amishta was hesitant to say anything. She already felt friendship with the group but she was still asking herself if she can lead them. She knew that this happens only because of her presence. Her grandfather wanted to train her and give her a good and real comrade for her.
Amishta just looked at everyone of them. This war she doesn't even know if everyone of them will survive and if they didn't it will probably make her guilty.
"Hey! Amishta, you seem very preoccupied? Are you okay? Are you afraid of the war? If ever you wanted I can talk to--- I mean no offense. I just want to---" Amishta smiled and cut Marco's statement.
"No. I am just fine. I was just quite thankful to meet you all guys. I mean, getting to military is a big decision and then I meet you all seems to make military not bad at all." Amishta talked with all her heart. Even though they were not that close and doesn't know everything about each other but Amishta only needs their sincerity which they had shown to her.
Everyone on the team was frozen with Amishta's statement. Everyone looked at her and just don't know what they say. They were quite overwhelmed with the statement but they don't want to be emotional so they just smile and others just nodded.
"Ehem! That's unexpected but yeah. I guess so. Since---" Zion was interrupted by the Captain.
"Attention! Almost everyone of you knew that we will not be going to the border. As a new recruit I know that it was not time yet for you to go to war but as a soldier you are oblige to follow commands. This night I want to tell you guys that we will be going into a suicidal mission as we will raid the enemies camp at dawn." The soldiers just swallowed their saliva's.
"No worries. For those who still want to live I can give you this opportunity to go home and get some soldiers to lead you home. Remember this us your last chance. Once that you take the risk then no turning back. It is either we will die tomorrow or we will bring victory to our kingdom."
The soldiers were all quite and think deeply. They knew that once they got home then there will be less chances to become a soldier in the future. Since they become a soldier then they can just atleast die in the battlefield than to go home with nothing.
The Captain was very impressed because everyone doesn't seem to backed out. They were all very quite as they silently agreed to everything.
"Good! We will march to the enemies camp later at midnight and attacked before dawn. We will just attacked to simple distract them. Since you are obviously a new recruit then their wall shall be lowered as it was what we wanted to preserved evidences of traitors from court."
"The main army can just massacre them all but the General wanted to have a physical evidences of the officers in court who wants to sell our Kingdom to the enemy. Since they were quite powerful evidence is a must. If we can able to finish this mission then your future will be more satisfying." The soldier's morale was boosted after hearing the last sentence.
The Captain then asked the soldiers to prepare everything for the battle and rest until midnight to have recharge themselves for the war. The soldiers didn't hesitate and agreed. They were probably nervous thus resting was not easy for them to do.
"Wow. Don't you think it is kind of something is wrong with the plan? I mean. Why us?" Zion asked.
"What? Are you scared?" Fred asked teasingly. Zion just glared at him.
"I also think so but let us just follow the command." Marco said.
"I agree," Jose.
"Then let us win the war and come back to train together." Amishta stated. They all agreed.
"Lets just take a rest. We will probably need it." Marco suggested.
"Go on. I just want a walk." Amishta stand up and starts to walked away.
"I'll go with you." Marco was about to stand up but Amishta doesn't approved of it.
"It is fine. I want to go alone." She smiled and walked away. As she left her groups eyes she immediately signal her guard to bring her to her uncle. She was sure that her uncle was just monitoring them not far from them. She just want to see her uncle.
"Uncle, your quite enjoying the night." Amishta grinned as she teased her uncle. She just saw his uncle leaning on his chair and having a snacks.
"You want some?" General Hiro offered but Amishta declined. She was not in the mood to eat as she was nervous.
"I am sorry for disturbance uncle. Probably you are bored already in this journey. I just want to thank you." Hiro just nodded and didn't even conceal anything. If not for his niece then he would probably have won by now and not following requites to save in a war.
"I already discussed with the Captain as for him to continue to lead everyone of you. Though he is just a captain for new requites I had atleast been his comrade before and he will probably do good. Father wanted you to lead but I don't think you can for now. I want you to show your full potential to make the group full support your leadership in the future."
Amishta knew that his uncle was right. Though she is a master in martial arts but it is her first time in war. She may lead groups before to assassinate but it was not the same. She can work on her own but she don't know how to lead thousands of people to fight.
"Don't think that this is your fault because this will also be a special training for the team to create the best cavalry in our kingdom. I want you to lead that cavalry and before that happens you must be able to make your teammates feel your presence and leadership to this war. Do you understand?"
"Yes uncle. I will do my best."
"Remember, don't trust everyone yet. Even if they may seem good but deception is nothing but normal. It will just depend on you if you can change a person to follow you instead." Amishta suddenly thought of her group. Since her uncle stated it means there is something wrong already.
"I will."
"Don't get affected with such statement because you will not survive war if you are too emotional. "
"Yes." Amishta straighten herself and shook her head trying to calm herself.
"Go back. You need to have a rest for tomorrow. You still have a lot of things to prepare. Father mentioned that you seems to be afraid of killing someone then I tell you that it is just a choice you need to make. Either get killed or kill. Easy! Your father and brothers were waiting for your return so do not waste your time fir nothing."
Amishta was stunned as her grandfather easily detects her problem without her stating it. She was also happy for her uncles word but at the same time sad. She missed her father and two big brothers. She has already hurt her father for this then she needs to make it worth it.
"Yes. Thank you uncle."
Hiro looked at his niece walking away and smirked. He was amused at his niece naivety but at the same time admires her braveness.
