Chapter 56: War with The East (Part 7)

As they were struck to their places, they heard  Girdhar's voice coming from the connector, " What is happening there? Send men to their coordinates to check on the situation!!!"

The old emperor let out a sad sigh, " It will be of no use as they are already captured. They will kill them if we take aggressive approach. Prepare yourself, we are going to talk with their leader, the man called Alexander Fortis. We have to be very tactful here."   Everyone was able to heard the conversation between the old emperor and the Royal Magus.

The apparent leader came forward and said, " Friends from East!!! Our leader wants to talk with you. It's a personal request of mine that you talk with him as your talk can save the 81 lives."

The old emperor, " We will talk with him. Just don't harm our people." Charles Jackson who was the leader of this group, inwardly thought, " I have heard that that the previously captured magus were given to the sadists for experiment on. Sorry, old man but your people are undergoing some serious torture back at the mainland " Charles contacted his superiors and was ordered to leave with the captives. Charles turned towards the connector, " He will arrive in few minutes."

Girdhar, " Let us talk with our men."

Charles, " Sorry, but they are being transported to their new accomodations so you can't talk with them right now." Charles then signalled his men to hurry up. After 5 minutes, Alexander along with the original hundred magus appeared in the campsite. Alexander looked towards Charles and said, " You are going back to the boot camp."

Charles said in panicked tone, " Why, your majesty?"

Alexander, " What's the first rule of engagement?"

Charles, " Never talk with the enemy unless it is with the purpose of buying time for the reinforcements to arrive."

Alexander, " And, what did you do? You announced your presence to the enemies before attacking them while I don't even tell them about myself even after attacking them. That's why you are going back to the boot camp. You were also slow in transporting them so your men will also earn a stay in the boot camp." Charles earned glares from his subordinates. Alexander turned towards Li and said, " Sort these fellows out."

Alexander then sat before the connector and spoke up, " Anyone there?"

Girdhar, " We are listening to you."

Alexander, " Let me introduce myself, I am Alexander Fortis and I am the leader of a small resistance group here in Europe."

A relatively young voice said in an angry tone, " Stop, playing your games and tell us your demands."

The old emperor, " Aryan!!! Calm down. He is just messing with you. Tell us Alexander Fortis, what do you want?"

Alexander said, " I want your submission."

Alexander could heard the angry shouts of the people on the other side. The old emperor brought everyone to order and said, " What do you have up your sleeves that you sound so confident that we would submit?"

Alexander, " First of all, I have more magus than you under me and the most important thing is that I have the key." Alexander could hear the shouts of shock and disbelief from the connector. The old emperor asked in a hard voice, " What prove do you have?"

Alexander, " I can swear a magical oath in front of your men. You have the coordinates of this place, send someone you trust completely with those nifty little device of yours and then, see it for yourself. Don't send someone to attack me as I have set the key to activate in one hour at a secret place so even if I die, you and your people will also die with me."
