Chương 102: Deed-102: Strategy

{December 2002 A. Y. Yokai Realm} [After getting all treated and healed by Ban, Vidhur and Barfi left to Rani Kingdom] [Ban sent his half-trained army in all 4 directions of the Naimisha Kingdom to guard it from other kingdoms] [All the yokai under Ban were able to defeat a Bhalukam at max and atleast an Azgar, that's how strong his yokai were, whereas the other three commanders' yokai were only able to defeat a Byakko Beast] [As per Ram's orders, Ojas, along with the North, West, and South Armies, marched toward the Rani Kingdom to wage a war on them based upon their response] [75 Warriors, 75 Knights and 150 Soldiers were marching towards the Rani Kingdom] [Vidhur along with Barfi went to the Rani Kingdom via chariots, as messengers and ambassadors must not fly to other nations while conducting diplomatic talks, as using flights or flying modes indirectly indicates that they are eager to wage a war!] [Hence, Vidhur and Barfi used Chariots to reach the Rani Kingdom as they were ordered by Ram to first talk in a peaceful manner and based upon their reply they would consider attacking or not] [After 10 days, Barfi and Vidhur reached the Rani Kingdom's border by urging their horses onward at full speed] [On the 11th day, Vidhur and Barfi entered the Rani Kingdom's borders] [As soon as they entered the Rani Kingdom, the pretas started attacking them as they hate outsiders and moreover they remember Vidhur from their last encounter] [Barfi shouts] Barfi: We are messengers of Naimisha Kingdom!

We are here for peaceful conversation!!!

[The pretas didn't care about her words and continued attacking them] [Rani fired a cannon into the air from her palace] [All the pretas became silent and all gets organized into their positions back] [Rani shouts from microphone] Rani: I don't have anything to talk with you guys! I am ready for a war! Go and come with your mere army!!! Entry is restricted for outsiders!!! Rani: Move a step towards the palace and the war begins!!!

[Vidhur and Barfi started losing control over their anger as the Queen Rani was shouting with complete arrogance and pride, without any sense of remorse or guilt! Vidhur and Barfi understood that it was sure Rani's order!!! There was never a misunderstanding! It was a damn planned assassination by torturing them!] [Vidhur and Barfi turned their chariots back] [While returning via the chariots they saw Naimisha Army] [Vidhur and Barfi met Ojas and confirmed the situation] [Ojas was filled with complete rage and anger] [Vidhur asked for permission to return and bring Lord Ram, while Barfi and Ojas prepared for war at the Rani Kingdom's border] [Vidhur flies with the speed of Jet and returns to Naimisha Kingdom by 12th day morning] {December 2002 A. Y. Yokai Realm inside Naimisha Kingdom's Palace} [2 Days before giving birth to Angel's child] This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

[Vidhur, Advisors and Ministers were sitting in the courtroom with patience yet curiosity] [Lord Ram entered into the courtroom while everyone was standing, Angel was resting in her room as Ram didn't want to take any risks] [Lord Ram orders everyone to sit and commands Vidhur to start reporting] [Vidhur explains how the Rani Kingdom's Queen Rani responded] [Ram turns towards his advisors and ministers] Ram: Shall we wage a war or should we do something else!!!

[Advisors unanimously] Advisors: Wage a war, my lord!!! [Ministers with a bit hesitation] Ministers: My Lord, forgive us if we cross the line... [Ram in an assuring tone] Ram: Please speak freely! I want your genuine opinions!!! Ministers: My Lord! Kingdom Rani has an army of 100 pretas and 500 Undead Army! The numbers are too big to ignore! We only have 75 Warriors, 75 Knights and 150 Soldiers! Ministers: Lord, Moreover, it's us who are going onto their territory!

They have more advantage, moreover our dead soldiers would start becoming their undead army or pretas! Ministers: My Lord, Queen Rani knows your strength, how you defeated the Ocean Kingdom-7, Merfolks, Barfi, Yama and Dragon Slayer Warriors! Yet, she dares to disturb our peace! It sure seems odd! She knows a lot about our strengths! But we don't know a lot about them! [Advisors started shouting] Advisors: You bunch of spineless nerds!!! How dare you look down on our army and strengths...

[Vidhur in anger shouts] Vidhur: Silence!!! [Everyone became silent and looked toward Ram with hope] Ram: What do you want to conclude, my dear ministers!?! [Ministers in a requesting tone] Minister: My Lord! We aren't against the idea of waging war! But we are against the idea of you entering the battlefield! Minister: Let Master Ojas' army fight first! Let us get some intel and information about them! After knowing their weaknesses let's do a full-scale attack!

Even while waging a full-fledged attack, we don't want you to enter the battlefield, my lord!!! Ministers: Depend on your army, my lord! You are not some hero who has to bear all the burden! You are the king! We are here to serve you! We aren't here to be an audience while you fight, my lord!!! [Ram smiles on their wise minister's plan] Ram: Your plan surely shows how much you respect and love me, my dear ministers!!! Ram: I love your plan, but! As you said earlier, we don't have many yokai in our army!

We are lacking by numbers! In such case, I don't think we have enough resources, soldiers, or time to collect intel or information! Ram: We don't have the luxury to wait! As you said earlier, each and every yokai we lose will become an undead army member of the rival! Then how can we wait!?! We must end this war as soon as possible!!! Ram: Your two-staged plan won't be much helpful this time, as we don't have much army and each yokai we lose becomes our own enemy!!! Ram: I know I can depend on you all!

But it doesn't mean that I will sacrifice anyone of you to conquer my dreams! I am a king! It's my responsibility to protect my yokai!!! Ram: Moreover, my Queen has ordered me to wage a war and defeat the Rani with my own hands! I must certainly be a part of this war!!! [Ram with a comforting and assuring smile] Ram: No need to worry, everything is going to be fine!!! [Ministers with an agreeing tone] Ministers: Sorry, for giving such a flawed plan, my lord!!! [Ram smiles] Ram: It isn't flawed! I actually loved it!

But I don't want to use it, as I don't want any of my yokai to get sacrificed just for my comfort! If I can bear a little more burden then there would be less martyrs, right!?! Ram: I am ready to suffer, if my yokai would be happy and safe!!! [Everyone in the courtroom stood and bowed down in front of Lord Ram and shouted unanimously] Courtroom Members: Forgive us, My Lord! Even after these many years we are still unable to grant you comfort, instead we are making you bear our burdens!!!

[Ram starts getting all embarrassed] [Ram in a commanding tone] Ram: Stand! It's never a burden! I am your king, it's my responsibility! I was made king to make you all happy not to make you all suffer!!! Ram: It's me who is at fault! I failed to give you all an eternal comfort and peace! Moreover, it is my personal problem! Yet, you all are standing beside me... [All the courtroom members with anger and rage] Courtroom Members: It's not your personal problem, my lord!

Princess Candy was like our daughter, granddaughter, sister and sometimes acted like our mothers too!!! Courtroom Members: It's our problem and it's us who are asking you to help us again, my lord!!! [Ram smiles with happy tears] Ram: Thank you all!!! We are all made for each other! Let's stop all these formalities!!! Courtroom Members: Yes, My Lord!!! Ram: I suppose it's time to leave, NARAYANA!!! Courtroom Members: All the very best, my lord!!! We will all pray for your health and strength!!!

[Ram smiles] Ram: Meet you all after the victory!!!

[By saying those words Ram stands and walks towards exit alongside Vidhur while all the courtroom members stands] [Ram orders Vidhur to go and take rest as they would take flight during the night from the lake near the palace] [Vidhur goes to his home to prepare for the war] [Ram goes to the lake to do Sandhya Vandan and later he goes to the dining hall and has lunch with his courtroom members and after lunch Ram goes to Angel's Chamber] ----Meet you in the next deed, Guys
