3rd Person POV -
The soldier said,'' Your Grace Vanaheim has retaliated. They have somehow found out the location of two army training planets and attacked them. We have lost all connection with these planets and the armies that were present there. One of the soldiers that escaped from there send the message that we have lost the planets and almost everyone is been taken prisoner of the enemy besides some who attacked the Angels have died in battle.''
After hearing the news there was an uproar among the present peoples. All the elders, member of ruling class, D'Ken and his sister everyone was quite surprised. This is the first time Vanaheim has answered there call and in such a big manner.
Lilandra asked,'' Have you confirmed the news?''
The soldier said,'' Forgive me My Lady. But since there is no communication we can't confirm it but all the signs are indicating that it is truth.''
The peoples were about to ask again when D'ken raised his hand to stop them and then said to the soldier, '' Very well. You can leave and tell all the soldiers nearby to evacuate some distance around the room.''
The soldier bowed his head in acknowledgement and then left to carry the orders. After the soldier left D'ken said to the remaining peoples, '' I know the news is a surprise for all of us and also quite troubling but if you will behave like this in front of our subjects then how will they believe in us? How will they think themselves to be the part of the most powerful empire? So remember do not behave like some amartures in front of my people okk.''
When all the peoples calmed down he said, '' Now that all of you have regain control over your emotions. Thiran now go and confirm everything that the soldier said is true or not.''
Thiran is the elder who preside over Science and Technology. After getting his order he left to complete the order. With the Very high I.Q. of the Thiran it did not take long for him to run hundreds of test to test it and he also got the same conclusion that the soldiers said.
He returned to the room in less then ten minutes and said,'' Well the soldier is right. All the signs do say that we lost the planets.''
Zamon said,'' Well that is not a good news.''
D'Ken asked,'' Everyone tell me about the potential losses and risks of this defeat.''
Thiron was the first to speak,'' While Science and technology department did not suffer any kind of loss but I do have something to add. The way things are going and the way we are defeated it is quite sure that the Vanaheim does not only possess mystic power but they are quite developed in the technology field too.
Just see the way they appeared on the planets. They came so soon that our army does not even get the chance to inform us before they were defeated. And it is saying something with our own technology.''
Zamon the elder of army said, '' Well I am quite agree with his thinking. And also the losses of army is big. We have lost not only the soldiers but also all the equipments that were present there. If we divide our military power in ten parts then today's losses can alone be at least two part of them. ''
D'ken brows furrowed after hearing this. This can be a big problem for them. And he understand what the army head is saying. All he five military planets are one of the most important part of the empire. And now two of them are lost.
L'kish the elder of trade said,'' While trade will not be affected for some time but we will feel the burden in the long run. The places where those planets are situated were one of the best routes for trade and since now the way is in enemy's possession we have to take a long way and all the coast will rise in a steady way. And the profits will naturally be lesser.''
Yram the elder of agriculture said,'' Those planets have nothing to do with the Agriculture so My field will not have any lossess.''
And after that one by one all the elders informed D'ken about the significant losses and problems that will occur after this. After everyone was done speaking they all looked quite disturbed. The losses can be recovered in some time but the future problems can be big trouble for the people of Shi'ar.
One elder said,'' Those Angels and there King have always been defensive but all of a sudden they turned offensive and the result is this. Why did they change? I mean if they have to attack then why now, not before?''
Lilandra was the one to answer the question. She said,'' It was not there cowardice that stopped them but there goodness. They just do not want to involve the innocent peoples in the battle and that is the only and only reason they have not taken an offensive stance till now.
But I think before attacking they have repeatedly confirmed the situation of that planet. And when they were sure that the peoples there were ours they attacked. And the result is in front of us all.''
One of the elders who was one of the newest addition said,'' This is a fools way. I mean we should attack on every front we get. There is no place for the emotions in the battle.''
One other elder asked,'' I am confused who's side are you? You are telling our enemy to attack us. And where ever they can? Have you gone crazy?''
Someone from the crowd said,''We should answer them for this slight. They should pay for what they did.''
Zamon said, ''Look there is one more idiot among us who knows how to speak.'' His voice was full of ridicule. But his face was anything but happy.
Thiran said,'' And what should we do? There are many problems like we can not enter into the Vanaheim. It is one of the devine realms, entering it without its Lord's permission is impossible.
Second we are not aware of there military and technology level.
And third the biggest problem for us that we have no idea how to pass the defenses of the Angels. As long as we do not know it sending our soldiers there is simply suicide.
So tell me what to do?''
And these are the question whose answers is not known to anyone.
