Silver is tasting the coffee in the morning. The eagle is surprised that there is no movement or command from the Lord of Beast. The eagle takes a deep breath and relaxes in the sunshine to watch her soldiers training.

A blue minotaur comes to the eagle and reports. "Silver, Hrathr's camp is struggling to the cold, and that lord commands his soldiers to release some ice wolves. Lucky that I killed from the beginning." The blue minotaur tosses the wolf's head. "And the reports from our mage, there have a spell to spot us."

Silver rubs her chin. "... sound like they have a radar runs by mana." The blue minotaur is going to ask but Silver raises her left wing. "You don't need to know what 'radar', Ox. We need more things to cover yourself."

Ox suggests. "How about we make an illusion spell?" Silver tilts her head. Ox explains. "I mean, we can make that spell to show exactly like this camp in another area."

"Good idea." Silver pats her shoulder. "Then can you do this? I just need you to do it as fast as you can."

"Well... I need some unicorns and caribous." Ox smiles. "I think I can find who. See you later."

Silver watches Ox walk away. The eagle doesn't know what she is thinking.

Warning: an unsource mana is flying around

Silver looks at the sky and sees a little bird flying around the forest. It is a nightingale. The nightingale is struggling to find something in the jungle, so the eagle is suspected. "Activate mana detective sight."

The sight of the eagle becoming black. She looks at the bird spot and sees a small different mana is inside the bird. Silver goes outside the camp, then flies away.

The nightingale is looking for the camp but the forest is too thick, it can't see anything. Silver glares at it as she is flying behind it.

"Well, time to fly back. Nothing to see here." Says the nightingale. Silver quickly catches it and flies high, then she lands on the cloud and grabs the nightingale tight.

The nightingale is struggling to get away from Silver's grasp. The eagle sighs. "Don't try to do it, Hrathr. I know you sent this little bird to scouting us, right? Your voice is here." The nightingale says nothing. Silver taps the bird's back and smiles. "See you again, Hrathr. I hope I have your antlers to drink some wine."

The magic circle on the nightingale disappeared. Silver releases the bird and sighs in relief.


Hrathr opens his eyes and breathes heavily. He is just struggling out of the eagle grasps due to being one with the nightingale. The yak comes to see him and asks. "Are you okay?"

"No, Flan." Hrathr stands up. "The nightingale is being captured. We know their leader now."

Flan guests. "Is that the eagle who just captured Askala?" Hrathr nods as the yak rubs his chin. "Well, she is not a normal eagle."

"Can block our musket. Can detect our bird. Maybe only the cannon can affect her."

"Some of our soldiers say that she is not living." Flan takes out the paper. "When they try to slash her with sword, that eagle just stands there like it nothing to her."

Hrathr rubs her chin. "We need a strong fire to destroy that eagle. How about our soldier?"

"Not good. They don't get used to fighting in this cold weather." Flan looks outside. "How about we hire some dragons to help us fight this war?"

Hrathr sighs. "Our king Dainn just did the same but... they denied immediately because their new queen banned them from trading with us."

"New queen? I thought Makala was their ruler."

"Not anymore." Hrathr shudders. "Why am I feeling something not good in here?"

"You need to..."

Not finishing the sentence, a soldier comes inside and breathes heavily, then he starts report. "Lord Hrathr, Agrou city is being bombed again. King Dainn requires our assisstant to calm their down."

"Shit, situation is worse." Hrathr slams the table. "That why they don't need to fight us. All they need to chase us away."

Flan bows. "I will take 2000 soldiers to go inside the forest."

"No. You can't." Hrathr denies. "We don't know where is their position. I don't want to waste another general."

"But actually, what is their goal?" Flan is confusing. "If they want to make us retreat, they just wait some days. To weaken Agrou then capture it?"

"You're right. Wait..." Hrathr opens Atlas map. "Retreat immediately, we have to support Arkon city."

"What!? We still have 5000 soldiers in Arkon city." Retorts Flan. "How can they fight against them?"

"They don't need to win. All they need to sabotage our food production." Hrathr leaves the tent. "Prepare to leave. We will go to Arkon city."

All of the soldiers prepare to leave the camp very fast. They have to make a way to Arkon city.


Diana flies to Agrou city to meet Eldaro because she just heard that the old man is opening a juice store.

When the black cat gets there, she sees an old human is watching his employers to work. Many creatures are around to drink some juice. She feels weird that no creature reacts to a human standing in the middle.

The old man walks inside the store and Diana lands on the roof, then jumps inside the store through the window. She sees a chessboard is ready to play.

"Want some revenge, Diana?" The old man opens the door and takes a seat. "It's been a long time since I have played with you."

Diana sits on the table and moves the pawn.``I won't lose. Anyway, I just saw a bunch of soldiers are walking through the snow when I flied to here "

"Silver tolds me that Lord of the Beast, Hrathr know our target and get to Arkon to support." Eldaro does the same. "I commanded that we will attacking, but will retreat when they get closed."

"Sounds risky." Diana grins. "I like that idea."

"Of course a cat like you enjoys the dead and sorrow." Eldaro moves a knight. "Hope that your husband will be killed by your threat."

"Nice tease." Diana moves another pawn. "You make me want to hug those blue fluff a lot."

Eldaro moves another knight. "Let me ask you, why do you and Amelia marry Noleg?" Diana is stunned by the question as Eldaro continues. "You know the pain will carve into your heart forever when he's gone, right?"

Diana smiles. "We know that. We want to try to be a normal cat." The black cat moves her rook. "Anyway, what's your point in doing this attack? You are not so simple "

"It's just a simple attack, but it will be effective." Eldaro takes a rook on the chess. "Let me introduce you to my rook "


Arkon city, the city of farms when it is near a harbor from the lake. Inside the city, there are many beautiful farms with many fruits and foods inside. The city is the food production center in Atlas.

There are many creatures working in the hot weather. All of them are female creatures. They work there with no retort due to the brainwashing spell that applies while the male just sits there and enjoys life, without caring about the death of the female.

To the north of the city, there are a big castle wall. The master of this city wants to make this north wall invincible while he is confident that the south of the city have sea cover themself.

The soldiers are relaxing on the castle wall. Suddenly, a loud sound is interrupting them as they are looking for the source. An armored vehicle is running to the castle. An Abyssian commands his soldiers to shoot cannon at it, but it seem not effective. The vehicle stops and turns its muzzle at the castle wall, then shoot at it. An explosion is created and the castle wall is splitted into two, leave a way to go inside the castle.

The vehicle starts moving inside the wheel and heads to the farm. The captain doesn't know what to do to stop it, he commands his soldiers to follow the vehicle.

Everyone around is terrified and wants to stay away from the moving vehicle. The vehicle goes through many houses to make the way to the farm. Many unicorns and caribous try to blast beams and shoot cannon at it but it isn't effective.

When the vehicle arrives at the farm, the vehicle raises its muzzle and shoots at the sky. The flame started burning many of the farms. Another shot from the vehicle and all the farms are burning. The vehicle starts heading to the harbor.

Inside the vehicle, there is a silver eagle, a green unicorn with brown mane and tail, a black Abyssian driving it.

A green unicorn is amazed. "Wow, this 'tank' is really cool." Then he takes a peak outside and sees the red armored soldiers are struggling to stop it. "I like this one."

"Focus, Green Magnet." Silver is focusing on driving a tank. "This tank is not invincible. Plus, their reinforcement is nearly gone."

The black Abyssian gives Silver a smirk. "Come on general. You should see this scene, it's so funny."

"And I saw that a lot, Mr. Coal." Silver glares at him. "Keep watching if they pull out something."

"Yes madam."

The tank is heading to the harbor. Suddenly, the tank is shaking hard, because Green Magnet and Ashes fall inside. Silver looks forward and sees the unicorns are forming a big fireball together. When the big fireball is flying to them, Silver brakes the tank to dodge the fireball, then she speeds up and commands. "Coal, get that 50 cal machine gun and fire at their mage. They can destroy our tank."

The black Abyssian is confused. "Eh, what is 'machine gun'?"

Silver facewings as she forgot that this world doesn't have modern guns yet. She lets the tank to go forward and takes an ammor cord. "Go outside, I will show you how to shoot a gun."

After a short explanation, the black Abyssian now how it works. Coal sets in position and starts firing at them. The mages are being surprised and get shot. The tank keeps moving forward.

After 5 minutes, they are still driving there. They meet a strong struggle. Silver doesn't know what is wrong with these soldiers when they don't seem to be afraid. "Must be something not right. Maybe Hrathr is already here and commands them. Hard to save these tabk shoot."

Many lines of bombs and powders are being deployed in front of the tank. Silver brakes and moves backward immediately. Green Magnet sees that and takes a grenade, despite not knowing what it is.

Analyzing for a while, the green unicorn pulls the pin by his teeth and throws it at the line. A big explosion comes from the line and nearly blows him away. "Weehee. Best explosion ever."

"Nice job." Silver makes the tank move forward. "We nearly get close to the harbor. Go inside and watch for me." Then the eagle touches the magic circle and asks. "Arian, did you copy."

"Copy that, Silver. I just took out their air defense system. They focus too much on your tank." Aria coughs and slashes some red armored griffin and pegasi. "Our soldiers reports that they see Lord Hrathr is organizing the explosions and powders."

"I see. Can you support us?"

"I can't, there are too many of them in the harbor."

"I see. Good luck."

Silver speeds the tank up to get to the harbor as fast as she can.

The harbor is now full of cannons and big fireballs. When they hear the sound of the tank, all of them prepare to fire at the vehicle. Suddenly, a brown pegasus is landing in front of the soldiers, leaving a big hole on the ground. The soldiers aim at her. Hrathr holds them off and smiles. "Look like an old friend of mine is here."

"Hrathr, long time no see." Aria smiles and spins the halberd. "Shame that we are in the opposite position."

"I know that. All I want is..." Hrathr sees Aria is closing her eyes. The stag shoot musket at her. The old mare deflect it without any problem. Hrathr smiles. "I won't let you do that crazy technique, Buttercube. Soldiers, attack her."

All of the soldiers fire their fireballs at the old mare. The old mare raises her halberd, then fly up and spins to drill through the fireball. She drills through the fireballs and floats in the air. Aria smiles. "Sorry Hrathr, you are falling in my trap." Then she flies away.

The tank is coming to them as Hrathr smashes his face. He commands his soldiers to let the tank come in while the mage tries for another fireball.

When the tank drives to the boats. it raises its muzzle and shoot at it. Many creatures are running away from it while their boat is on fire.

Silver commands. "Last ammo. We will shoot this one then run to the water. Got it?" Flan and Green Magnet nod. Silver commands. "Turn 45 degrees, then activate the magic circle under the tank. Now."

Hrathr is running to the tank and sees that it is stopped. The tank exploded under it, making it fly up. The stag looks carefully and sees its muzzle is aiming at them. The tank shoots them from the air. Hrathr quickly takes out one of the runes and teleports away. The ammunation flies directly to the soldier and exploded and burned. The tank lands on the ground and stays there. No movement from it anymore.

Silver looks at it from the sky, then she flies away from them. The unicorn and Abyssian look at them on Silver's back and sighs in relief. Flan lies. "I thought we are going to die unbelievable."

"Yeah me too." The unicorn smiles. "I throught this is the last battle I will fight. That's crazy."

"The problem is... they can analyze the tank and create the same." Flan complains. "I have to tell my wife about this."

"Sure. She will be crazy when she throught you are dead."

Silver says nothing and flies to the HQ, the mission is successful.


Diana puts the knight to kick Eldaro's rook. The black cat smiles. "I don't know if they manage to win with your 'rook', Eldaro. You should not be confident about your vehicle."

"Even that vehicle can shoot you out? I don't think so." Eldaro puts his fist on his cheek. "I will 'eat' your knight with the pawn."

Diana looks at the chess and sees her knight is in Eldaro's pawn moving. Diana sighs. "Wow, I wasn't expected that."

Eldaro stands up. "You will not be the only one who is surprised. See you again, Diana."

Diana shakes her head and looks back at her knight, which is falling down on the chessboard. The black cat opens the portal and goes inside.


Hrathr and his soldiers are around the tank. He feels amazed when the rebellion manages to build a thing, which is not. When the stag just touches the tank, many magic circles shine brightly in the tank. Hrath creates a shield immediately as the tank explodes, makes the stag fly, then falls on the ground and is wounded. His soldiers panic and take the stag to treat his wound.
