The start or new battle came unexpected. Elifis fallowing Conrad remain silence as they look at the port covered in mist. They knew that when they enter the port, everything will be over... There's no holding back neither... The port had been taken by the pirates has they to the reason it was covered in mist...

Surely they can think of the mist but they are not good with handling the mist... Magician can but they didn't bring any wind mage... Conrad look through the side from side observing any signs of abnormality even though the mist is just a clear white smokes.

"Bloody heavens, we have to walk right through the trap but we don't know how many of them are there, what are we supposed to do? " He said mumbling to himself not knowing that Elifis was behind him, hearing every complains that come off his mouth.

"My... Thats the only way... I assume and it seems... However the count of the enemy, we cannot be shaken because we are knights... " He said giving Conrad a heart attack from his sudden appearance.

"Goddammit Elifis! Learn to stop appearing behind people's back whenever you want! You almost killed me... " Elifis laughed without even sparing Conrad his scolding.

"You aren't well trained yet! Those muscles need some challenges! Come on, stop being a crying baby, your a knight! " His insult maybe hurtful but that gives Conrad a little reassurance of himself even though he was insulted.

"I've train to protect my master, I'm a master skilled knight, I don't need any advice from a fellow (undeveloped student) " the tense between them didn't stop, unless they won't stop, they'll screw rheir plans.

"Got forsaken, little mongrels! Stop fighting over nonsense and get your butts here, I will be discussing our new plan! " That is Sandina, one of the commanding commander officer who was below Conrad and Elifis but higher than any of the knights, she is one of their plan master.

However, she is the only one who cant stop a two old geezer fighting each other (well they are not old geezers) but two child fighting each other with a nonsense topic.

"Now, as for the topic, " they gather around in circle with a map lay beneath them in shape of squares. There are written drawings as the land divided in multiple layers and different progress.

"We have no choice but to fall into the trap (while) of course we will be setting a trap ourselves to let their guards off... The mist is a difficult way to engage in battle so we have to infiltrate them in the port which will have the upper hand if we (do not) sail with a boat, I mean, " she pointed at the map in a the water.

"The water is different in infiltrating the port, the pirates won't even know that we will be hiding within the water, and use a one ship as a deception for our trap... We will set traps in the ships and use knights as our decoy while pushing them through the traps we set to decrease them..." They all stop talking and they listen to her quietly.

"The ship will be boarded with countless of deception, but before that, we will bath the entire ship with hidden traps. " Then she flicker her fingers on his men pointing at every point of the ship where they will be putting the traps for the upcoming clash.

"God, your more attractive this way Sadina, " the serious atmosphere that the planner had been severely build was slowly drifting away by a clash of irritation blowing inside her mind as she listen to Elifis mumbling that the whole group had heard.

"Yo-you, " she close her eyes and she was about to punch him in the face when Elifis catch her fist and he slowly pulled her in closer to him.

"It seem that you wanna do something terrible, I ain't letting you thought... " Then he wink but instead of punching him again, Sadina ended up glowing in a flashy marked red from embarrassment that she had to endure, she look at him frustrated and annoyed while enduring her embarrassment on the group.

"I swear upon my sword, Elifis, I'll kill you even if I'll hunt you down your grave! " She said pulling herself back but Elifis tightened his gripped and he smile.

"I'll wait for that day, don't worry, " the group watching them was neither getting goosebump while others aren't enjoying the show which give them all a shocking look to Sadina who was famous for her initiation and self confidence, while keeping her knightself and pride both together as a major of both frontiers warrior and the commanding or the female soldiers.

Now they see her in different aspect, she wasn't the same as she did who was serious and reflexive, although both kind and astonishing but strict... Sadina didn't have a choice but to shrugged her head and look away.

"C-can you please let me go now? " She asked nicely but Elifis didn't listen and he suddenly hugged her kissing her neck.

"Ah-- no stop!! "

"Unless you promise me that you'll become mine, I won't stop, " he said enjoying the look on her face so much that Sadina grinned her teeth in absolute embarrassment covering her face with her other hands and she grip trying to escape from his malicious actions.

"This is, I-I now s-sure-- ahhh "

Everyone watching turned their backs wishing that they didn't see anything. They all look so embarrassed to look at both couple flirting with each other even though they knew well of their captain.

The answer she give didn't satisfy him. So he marked her neck with a kiss mark and bit it softly, "your moans are far more tempting I see... " Before he let go of her making her strength fall on the ground, she then cover the kiss mark on her neck and she looked at him blushing but angrily.

"Bastard! This I cannot forgive you! I-I hate you more than anyone in this world! " She exclaimed trying to pull herself back but she failed and ended up gazing at the floor with surprise.

He pull her off suddenly, lifting her in a princess style and she was shocked. "Even if you hate me, I won't give up on you, I mean what I said and I will fight for you even if you don't want too... So take your time to think about it and I wait for you to do it. " He said while looking at him saddened by his eyes, she left out a huge chunk of regret and she nodded.

"If, " she stopped and let her heart decide her actions. She then hugged him by the neck and she remain still. "If we survive this conquest, I will be yours, so please let us survive till the end while being responsible of our duty... Please... " She whispered...

Their atmosphere took back most of the people surrounding them and they tried to cover everything they witnessed but ended up blushing anyways.

"Sadina, will you marry me by then? " He asked and the girl immensely cover her self in his neck tightening her grip. "I will, I will marry you."

He nodded and a silence was irrupted with a instant clapping of people because they had heard everything. "CONGRATULATION CAPTAIN! " All of them scream in excitement.

"Now that is settled, captain, Elifis, can we go back to our planning? " Conrad asked sarcastically annoyed but Elifis only nodded pulling Sadina back to the ground, she pull herself together and fixed herself while looking at the map while she fake a cough.

"Yes, so, as I was saying, we will make use of our newest product 'Selica' a personal diving magical equipment to allow us on breathing underneath the water, while we use our treasures to lure the pirates in. The traps needs to be all over, and while the pirates swing around with rope, we can engage a air traps." She then looked at the ship from structure to prints, good thing the ship has items need for the traps.

"As for us who will be dividing, we will use Selica underneath, they cannot see us by then, this way we can walk through the water and if we by any chance walk through sharks, don't hesitate to slaughter! " They all nodded and agreed to their plans, before that she finalized everything.

"Then we will take the port and remember always protect your comrades front, back, left or right... We need to team up, got it!?"

They all yell 'Yes Captain' so she nodded and ended the meeting.

-+-

Plan one had been completed, the ship was trapped and they had to change ships so they call for another one, then Sadina distributed the magical stone for breathing while of others did what they supposed to be doing.

Conrad looked afar trying to see much of the enemies territory, however, the fog is not leaving the sight, making it unable for them to see.

"Sir, his majesty the king is calling, he request a private call with Sir Conrad, " a knight delightfully said, Conrad beside him nodded.

"Take over, " he said before leaving.

The ship is made out of the same plain design, it is about One Floor and basement with Two Floor at the upper, the upper floor of the left side is the captain chamber, the second floor is the distinguished quest rooms, normally for people like Conrad or Elifis, VIP room if you call it, the right side has one floor, it is where the captain controls over the ship, the floor below the ship deck is the chambers for the crew, beside it is the barrels area for both rum and food supply.

The design was like a pirates ship but this ship is owned by Castaline, it is use against transportation for knights, the ship is not controlled by a pirate but a knight leader, they call them knight navy, sailer on the sea.

Thats the meaning behind the excessive goldens phoenix designs all over the ships wall, the logo of Castaline had already written at the map of the ship, however, in this operation, the flag was taken down to ensure that the pirates won't know their identity.

Conrad arrived at captain's office, and since he is the head knight, he is privilege to enter Sandina's office. There lay a globe of orb, the same communication ball you probably had seen used by knights.

"Your majesty, our king, Conrad is here as requested. " He said, giving the orb of globe glimmers in a shinning brightness.

"Hows the preparation? We don't have much time, so I'm giving you two days to comply, you have to take down those bastards ruling over the nearby villages, understand!? " It was an order and seems that they have to take down the port this instant, however the fact, they need to reach the kingdom in a day which is pricely impossible, but the Louise reach the kingdom in 2 days, what of a day?

Conrad didn't want to make any calculation but it seem they'll have to follow a method. Horses are father, however, it will not run within the appropriate time and since horses might be rare to find in this kingdom, they'll have no choice but to find one, perhaps the pirates left horses behind or something like that.

Requesting for a horse will take them time, a day had been wasted to deliver another ship, what of a ship filled with horses needed? So they think, they'll have no choice but to march with no rest making him shrugged.

"My king, that's purely impossible without horses as we approach, we may find 1 or two but that won't be enough to send the army to the kingdom by that time--- "

"I didn't say engage to the capital all together, I told you to get rid of the pirates lurking around the nearby town, do you get it? The plan is simple, while you defeat the pirates at the nearby town, you can also have time to gather horses enough for small group that will engage in the capital, the knights of this kingdom will help and they will take over the gates to wait for your arrival in which time you want, and I will lead myself to the palace as planned, now do you get what I mean? "

He lost words for he had assumed everything. If that's the case, they don't need to hurry at the capital, they just need to get rid all of the pirates outside the capital as soon as possible. He gripped his hands and he sighs.

"Yes, I understand, my king, we will get ready to attack as soon as we can. "

"Good, may you bring me victory, head knight of my Kingdom. "
