In the evening. Everyone gathers to light a campfire while having dinner.

Erga asked Lonea, "Why are you always silent when you meet Mena and her friends?"

Finally, Lonea answered Erga's question.

Lonea feels guilty for Terza and his friends. When she was at Merya, Lonea didn't know Erga and Terza. She also learns of Terza's attack on Merya from the guards. Lonea was confused because it happened at the same time.

At that time, Lonea was at the gate of Merya. Watching Erga come to Merya alone.

A few moments later, guards came to report that there had been an attack at the border. Merya's soldiers couldn't hold it and at that time, Veira Enesia held it alone. Then Sin Meryan ran to help Veira.

Lonea is sure that the attack was not without reason. Everyone knows that Merya is Zonery's main base and it is almost impossible to penetrate it.

When Lonea wanted to save the lives of the people who attacked Merya, she remembered Erga. Maybe the attack was just to divert focus. And maybe Erga wanted to do something at the palace. Sure enough, the ground shook, it was a sign of the light arrow coming out. Lonea decides to save Erga in the palace.

But unfortunately, Lonea was too late, Erga was already lifeless. Her feelings were very sad and angry. Decided to take Erga to her house. Finally getting results, Erga came back to life.

A few moments later, the guard reported the incident at the border. They all died and one person managed to escape. Lonea felt very guilty because she couldn't save them all.

Terza said, "Well... You're not at fault, Lonea. You've also taken good care of Erga. In fact, I wouldn't forgive myself if Erga died in vain. So, I'm grateful to you."

Mena and the others also thanked Lonea and encouraged her.

Lonea shed tears, saying with a smile, "Thank you, friends. I hope... I hope it can be useful for you."

Erga was very happy with the situation which was now warm again. Finally, everyone had dinner together, after that, rested.

The next day.

Erga and Terza return to training. Accompanied by Lonea, Mena and others to encourage Erga.

Terza attacks Erga with his stick while giving Erga lots of tips.

When fighting one on one, you must have high focus in sword techniques.

Don't dodge and dodge like crazy. Pay attention to where your opponent moves when swinging the sword, and don't move too much. When your opponent lunges and you dodge to the side, your opponent's defenses will be open to attack. Take this opportunity. If necessary, can carry a smaller spare sword in the other hand. This is not cheating, but acting practically.

Remember that there are no prizes for second place in the fight. First place is the person who is still standing when the fight is over, and second place means dead. This means that when you engage in swordfighting against someone, your main goal is to defend your life, not to hunt down the prize.

The main mistake many people make is hitting the sword, not the opponent. So, keep this in mind when fighting. Hit your opponent on the hands, body, or head, not on the sword. Apart from that, your body posture and self-confidence will also change. This action can usually intimidate opponents who are still amateurs.

When using two swords, do not let your hands cross. This can make you lose a lot of maneuverability, which can be fatal.

Never turn your body. Even though it only looks cool at a glance, this action is ineffective and futile. Turning your body with your back facing your opponent, even for just one second, can be fatal. Unless the chance is very high, attack by turning your body in the opposite direction.

Continuing to be on the defensive is only effective for a short time. Keeping your opponent on the defensive is the best way to prevent that person from attacking.

Use with caution. Don't lose your sword. A single blow to a sword that is still in the air can cause it to come loose, rendering you defenseless. Keep your swords loose, unless you have more than one sword.

There is a possibility that your body will be cut or something worse. Fighters who are afraid of getting their skin scratched tend to remain silent in the middle of the battlefield.

The most important thing to note is that sword techniques are not a game. This is a serious problem related to the way of wielding the sword. Swords are designed to kill, they serve no other purpose than that. Treat the sword with respect and treat it like family. This way, others will also treat you with respect.

Erga continued to train, fighting with Terza for hours even though he had to constantly be hit by Terza's attacks. Even if you only use a stick, the effect is very painful.

Next, Terza again ordered Erga to cut down the tree as before. Slash and stab the tree at the first slash and stab, don't miss.

Erga enthusiastically practiced his accuracy on the tree.

Terza approached Lonea and the others.

"You are the best at training, Terza!" Mena said with a smile.

"Haha... Of course... Because I am the king!" Terza said with a laugh.

Lonea asked Mena, "How did you know I was part of Zonery?"

Mena answered, "I only heard from friends. Maybe you should explain, Kiluri!"

Kiluri explained it.

At that time, Kiluri, Densa and Namoru split up to look for Terza because no one had returned to base for three days. Kiluri sneaks and hides observing the Merya border.

There are two women who want to enter that area. Erga and Lonea came. Kiluri knows very well about this incident, Veira killed the two women who wanted to enter Merya.

Kiluri immediately looks for Densa and Namoru for information.

When they met, Kiluri, Densa and Namoru intended to look for Terza at the house where he usually lives.

While there, they heard that her name was Lonea and was a commander in Merya. Hearing this, Kiluri, Densa and Namoru rushed back to base. They didn't know that after that, Terza would come.

"Lonea, did you hear that? We are always worried about each other here. I care about them and they care about me too. This is the meaning of family." Terza said proudly.

Lonea smiled and felt jealous of Terza for having such a good friend.

Mena said, "Sis Lonea, starting today, you are part of our family. I have high hopes for you, Sis Lonea."

Kiluri, Densa and Namoru also said the same thing.

Terza said, "Okay, starting today, we all will not consider you as part of Zonery, but part of us."

Lonea nodded her head and said, "Thank you, friends. I won't forget you." Lonea was so happy to be accepted by Terza and the others.

Terza and the others are very happy because their family is now growing again. Next, see Erga and encourage him in practicing.

After practicing for a long time, Erga and the others returned to rest at the base. Hunt for food, joke and eat together.
