Chapter 48: THE THIRD COMPANY OF MARCOG ARMY (1)
*Author Note: Different POV
-----------------------------------------
" Have You slept well, Captain Van Driel? It was no longer midnight."
I quietly listen to my Vice Captain talk. He was Van Delsen, a young man who came from the same town as me, Bandrecth, in the province of Zuid-Neverland.
Yup, you are right. We are a few of the original citizens of Nevernia who joined the private military company under Nevernia Trading Union Company. We're part of the famous March of The God's, alias known as Marcog Army.
People called us Mad Dog Forces, because we are undefeatable, even in the most perished war.
Our forces mostly tasked to handling various jobs, from rebellion refused high-taxes, peasant and merchant rebellion rejected monopoly, workers and coolie rejection against unpaid-forced-worked, eradication of pirates, mountain bandits, sea wars against other trade organizations, until the conquest of new colonies. Everything for the shake of our Queen. Everything is all about the money.
I never had a war in this Niujvantara archipelagos which greater and more devastated than the war in Herencia. This war is nothing to be proud of. Like a man rob a candy from a kid.
We won, not only because we are capable or well-trained. These Niujvantara people were far behind Herencia's people's intelligence.
There was nothing to be the worry about, they are easy to be provocative, tend to be greedy of short-term wealth, and also unable to think too far ahead.
Even in the scale of the royal family, which usually should be contained by excellent peoples, they are no different.
Every time they have an internal conflict, mostly because of throne succession, they will seek help from the external power, which will end up sucking them until dry. Worry not. There was nothing to worry about them. We are the conquerors, the very experienced one.
Just like a few days before, tonight we still temporary stayed at a camp outside the Capital City of Magelang Kingdom. They name it as Magelang City. It's only taken a short time to reach that City from here.
Our scout from Balakka group chose this location to camp. This location had abundant clean water, close to two rivers called Praque River and Opaque River and a swamp named Giddy Swamp. There is a forest beyond that Giddy Swamp. So, we would have abundant fishes as our food source. We could only say that this was a perfect hideout. We don't have to worry about starving.
Aside from Balakka group in our forces, Marcog Army had various member come from different ethnics, even from all over Niujvatara itself. Their motives was clear, money. Money is a god to answer everything they need. For the money, they were willing to betray their own people, their own homeland, or even their own kind. In my company forces, we had warriors came from Boigeis and event from Vajya itself. See? Those Vajya people really dare to confront their own tribe, their own ethics. Haha... See how Niujvantara people will shed their own kind's blood for the sake of foreign people, for the sake of my country, for the shake of my Queen, for the sake of my bonus!
Did you think we would lose to those kinds of people? Not a chance. We are the conquerors.
" Do you feel something weird, Capt?"
" Have you?" I asked him back.
" I don't know."
" I know you, Capt. We grew up together. We used to be a fellow little rascal at Bandrecth."
" Why do you bring the past-time stories, now?" I laughed at him.
" I thought you miss Miriam, Capt"
" Not me. Maybe you. You are the only one who cried of her wedding invitation."
He laughed. "And Who were the one who tried to raise a riot in our town just because the girl whom he-is-in-love were married by an old geezer?"
" Bastard!" I laughed too.
" So, what's your worry, Capt? Do you think this Magelang Kingdom people had a chance against us?"
" Well, but not true, never underestimate your enemies, Van Delsen. It is your bad habit."
" It was all thanks for your leadership, Capt. We never became a loser in the war. We always won! Not even in the Thousand Caves Kingdom, even The Jung Kulon Empire raise their white flag in front of Marcog Forces. Do you think this Magelang Kingdom had a chance to stand against our mighty forces?"
I kept silent listening to his blabbering. It was so good to have someone chat over you in the middle of the cold and silent night. I drank my liquor, it was the ninth cup. Somehow, I still unable to sleep.
" With such new King who dare to revolt against his own father, I believe, He will act as our doll. We will take full monopoly trade to them. And then, the bonus will flow to our wallet like a waterfall. This is life, Capt !"
He drank his liquor.
" Now, listen, Capt. I heard good news from my friend in other company forces, he said he heard from Francois Taque when he drank that he had successfully driven the crown prince to foolishly put a revolt against his own father, the legal King. See.. a son revolt against his own father? Such a son, even heaven will curse him until eternity... "
" Really? You don't lie do you ?"
" I tell you the truth. The main points are, these people of Magelang Kingdom were stupid, idiot, low intelligence, egoist, self-centric, narrow mind and easy to manipulate. Well, I don't care about them, anyway. All that I care about is a bonus for us. Hail the god of wealth! Hahaha.."
" You should not believe, a mere rumor from a drunkard! Moreover, it just is told by only a single source."
" You'll soon are going to be rich, Capt. He even heard the similar words came out from Captain Herman Dirkje Hendepoel and Captain Debenhart van der Schueren, they drank while hugging the most expensive whore at Thousand Cave Capital City and boasting out every achievement of them."
I soon attracted by his word "Those devout soldiers Captain Herman Dirkje Hendepoel and Captain Debenhart van der Schueren ? Were you not mistaken by someone else ?"
" Nope !"
His confidence influenced me to start to fall asleep. " I guess I just had a call from my bed. Would you like to excuse me?"
