Fear is The Greatest Motivator

Yuuka had just exited Jane's camp, and she was in a terrible condition, unable to talk to anyone was put to rest for the time being.

Yuuka had been seriously thinking about how to take the following actions. The Higher level soldiers fell into serious injury both physically and mentally.

He had no backup coming for him if he fell apart. He moved into Levi's camp and sat on his chair, looking at Levi, warped bandages and resting with a sad look. The enemy mentally broke him, and Yuuka didn't plan to protect him. He felt guilty, and the current situation took a heavy toll on his mind.

"!!"

Suddenly, the radio on the table since the last day's evening produced a sound. The same man had talked to Yuuka earlier about being fast.

"Well, hello? This is the heard time I am telling you this thing, I belive you don't know how to reply or talk back to me on this but I'll do 2 more times this day, if you don't answer-"

The man said he had already come on the radio multiple times but received no reply.

"- Well, you know, First of all. We have already called backup for you-"

"!!!"

"-Don't be surprised if you are? But we saved your team at the port and sent one of them back to call backup for you and secondly, we need you take siege of the capital immediately. We immensely support you, so you better do What I say."

Yuuka couldn't reply and had so many questions. Why ask him to make a siege? Why help him? Why use him and be helpful to him? all these questions were causing him unending restlessness.

" AND If you fail to take siege till tomorrow? You will die. If you need any proof of your skills and power ask your girl who we sent back to you, We gave her good treatment, so she'll be in a good mood-"

"You are the reason behind her condition?!"

As he shouted aloud, Yuuka's eyes were filled with anger...

No, this didn't anger; it was fear. Pure fear and terror of something he couldn't see, he couldn't control. He felt the fear of the unknown, something inside every human's instinct.

"So, Lay the siege, we will help you win the siege don't worry. Rejoice, your victory isn't far because of us. So, do as we say and you will win this."

With those last words, the voice was cut, leaving behind an abruptly terrified Yuuka. He was dancing in the palms of someone's hands.

He became a piece of the board rather than the one playing the game,

"A resource cart is sent here!! Food and water, Lots of it!!"

Shouts of happy soldiers who ran across the camp were heard by Yuuka. He ran outside his base to see something that pushed his fear more.

"Carriages with food and water?"

3 carriages filled with Food and water were received at Asphodle's camp. No one knew how they came here, but to the soldiers, it was a sign by the gods showing them how they were in Ashodel's favour,

But to Yukka, there was no God but a commanding Devil, and he understood the devil's power.

His mind was controlled by fear and not rational now; he spoke something that a person who was confident and fearless would never say,

"The gods are by our side!! We will take siege!! and we will take over the entire captial!!!"

"Yayyy!!"

Morale and confident shouts spread across the camp but in the screams, The one who made the first scream was the one who was the least excited and happy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the while, Yuuka's army rejoiced Milize's problems got bigger and bigger.

"The secret resource carriage was stolen and taken by the Asphodel's forces?! How?"

"We don't know anything yet but all the soldiers who were supposed to protect it are dead and horsemen have just spotted Asphodel's forces receiving them."

Shin explained the whole situation to her. All the while, his expression was grim. He was also confused about the change of pace in the last two days.

"What this is difficulty, I assigned low sodleirs at his carriage's arrangement to hide it form attention but it was caught! We are definitely in the worse now!"

Shin stood there in front of Milize. He was sad seeing her troubled. The woman he loved was strong and ready, but at the moment, what she needed the most was his help.

"Asphodel's attack on the capital is now surely happening. I will be joining the defence of the castle. Please be safe here. I will defend the captail and you even if I lose my life."

With those words, Shin left with a smile on his face.

"...."

Milize had no reply she was not ready for Shin's words and for his leave, she wanted to stop him but couldn't,

She was feeling like a lonely person locked away in a castle while everybody around her disappeared.

Fun fact: Arthur did actually say the same thing with the same tones, 5 times in total that day. Even after Asphodel received the supplies.
