ARYA MAHESA
Change of Plan

"Aryans! Looks like you didn't really notice what we just explained. Do I need to repeat it again? " Protest of Ciel.

The four of them did not understand Arya's line of thought. How could anyone possibly help such a complicated matter.

Lamo, also surprised by what Arya had just said, did not expect that there was a young man who had the confidence of Arya. Or, rather, Lamo did not expect that the young man was not only weak but also stupid.

"Young People. I appreciate your intentions." Lamo sighed, and turned to the four people who were now staring at Arya. "But, you've heard from these people what the situation is, right?"

Arya nodded. "Yes. I understand the situation. That's why, I want to help you destroy Oldenbar" Arya said.

Everyone there, simultaneously frowning them. According to them, Arya did not understand what she was talking about.

Arya watched them all. His eyes now turned to the two brothers who decided to go with him.

"I can't let what's happened in your country happen to these people"

Arya tries to explain what makes her want to help Lamo. But it didn't seem to help make the two girls understand.

"Arya, that's why I and Ciel asked the Lamo chief to abandon their intention to fight. The sect that they were going to fight against was the Sect that was aided by the Oldenbar Union." Luna tried to explain to Arya once again.

Bai Hua who had not spoken since, now tried to give his opinion. "Senior, I don't doubt your intentions. But, as Miss Luna and Miss Ciel said, this war will end the same. When they were all weak back then the Oldenbar guild would take it all."

According to them Arya did not understand the impact after the war. Although, the Ghost Valley Sect and the other Sects won this war, still after the war, they would be weak.

Whatever the circumstances, Oldenbar would benefit. Because they don't care who wins the war. All they care about is the right time to achieve their goals.

"Bai Hua is right" Bai Fan agreed to his granddaughter's opinion. "After all, Oldenbar already knew the end result. And the advantage that can be taken now for chairman Lamo is, avoid this war." Clearly Bai Fan.

This opinion got a nod by everyone. Of course that's the most reasonable thing right now.

"Yes, I agree this war will hurt both sides. You guys explained it. After all, Lord Lamo himself who said the Sect they were going to fight against was actually his own best friend Sect"

As Arya said that, All became a little relieved, at least Arya already understood the situation.

"If senior already understands, then, why does Senior still want to help Chairman Lamo fight?"

The same question was almost conveyed by Ciel. He did not expect this time he was pre-empted by Bai Hua who usually did not say much.

"I never said that I would help Mr. Lamo fight, instead I intend to stop the possibility of war." Answer Arya.

Not wanting to be preceded by Bai Hua again, Ciel interrupted immediately. "But, you were— "

Arya already knew what Ciel was going to ask, and immediately cut it off. "Yes! I said I'd help destroy Oldenbar. Doesn't mean we have to start a war, does it?"

Arya looked at them all. Now he realized that they did not understand what he meant. Arya finally explained what she was thinking.

"We know who started it. I guess, if Oldenbar is destroyed, there is no longer any reason for these Sects to go to war."

After hearing Arya's explanation, their minds were all now suddenly blank. There is nothing to question because everything is clear. It was clear that Arya was thinking further than all of them.

Supposedly, the Oldenbar Union was the real enemy. Arya just said The best solution that can be done in a situation like this.

"Chairman Lamo." The former Bai Fan was able to understand what Arya was saying, instantly reminding Lamo. "It seems, what was said, this young swordsman was very right. Don't you think so too?"

Lamo mangangguk steady "Yes. I think so too." Lamo turned back to Arya." Young kid. Sorry I'm slow to realize what you mean" he said.

"It's okay, Mr. Lamo. Maybe I was the wrong way to say it"

"Thank you"

"If this is the case, you should change your plans, as soon as possible. Wouldn't the other sects join in as well?"

"Yes, Master Bai!" Lamo replied "I'll send people to tell them about this information"

Bai Fan surprisingly turned out to have many theories in war. After all, Bai Fan was the Patriarch of the Bai Clan. One of the respected Clans in the Yang Empire. One of the largest countries in the Eastern Continent, even in the World.

With the long history they have gone through, as a family that gained the special trust of the emperor to study history. The Bai family had been hereditary in recording all the things that had happened in his country. Including the war.

Bai Fan provided many options in the face of the situation that the Ghost Valley Sect was going through.

With the help of information from Luna and Ciel, they had a lot of insight into the workings of the Oldenbar Union.

Finally, Lamo arrived at the initial decision of his plan. That is, gathering all the high-ranking Sects who are there to continue discussing the strategy they will run.

Lamo sangat bersukur malam itu bisa dipertemukan dengan kelimanya. Setidaknya, saat ini dia sudah tau musuh seperti apa yang akan mereka hadapi didepan. "Aku benar-benar berterimakasih pada kalian semua."

"Ah, Chairman Lamo need not hesitate. Perhaps, this is just a coincidence and we are just saying the things we know to be able to help you a little" Bai Fan replied.

Lamo looked at Arya. He really felt a little embarrassed for his attitude that had considered Arya as a stupid young man. "Young man, I apologize once again for doubting your help"

Arya nodded. "As Grandpa Bai said, Mr. Lamo needn't hesitate." Answer Arya.

That very night, Lamo sent some men to inform the other three sects of their change of plans.

After finishing discussing everything, Lamo ordered his members to set up tents for the five men. They finally decided to rest.

When the day was bright, Arya came to Bai Fan, Bai Hua, Luna and Ciel who were preparing to continue their journey. There was also Lamo and some of the higher-ups of the Ghost Valley Sect, looking to let them go.

"I'll catch up with you after we've destroyed that Union!" Arya said to everyone.

Arya's words suddenly made everyone there a little surprised. Previously, they thought Arya would also continue the journey to Basaka City.

"What do you mean?" Ask ciel.

Arya became a little astonished by the gazes all at her. "Don't I tell you all that I will help Mr. Lamo destroy the Oldenbar Society?"

"But—"

Ciel wanted to protest, as they all thought Arya had already helped the Ghost Valley Sect with her idea. Who would have guessed that Arya really wanted to get involved in that plan. However, Lamo directly cut it off.

"ah! Young Child. I really appreciate your intentions. But, you don't have to go that far." Lamo tried to give Arya some understanding.

Moreover, according to Lamo, what can this young man do when the fight with the Oldenbar Union occurs. It could endanger him.

Arya smiled "I'll help so that there are no casualties on Mr. Lamo's side." Reply Arya.

Lamo, being confused by Arya's words. It is impossible to feel, there will be no casualties when a big fight occurs. That's almost a mustahi thing.

Lamo wanted to explain that to a young man who he thought was very kind but also very naive. However, just as he wanted to say that, Bai Fan interrupted him.

"All right! if that's what the Young Swordsman is planning. There's no other option for us than to help as well, don't you think?" Bai Fan looked at Luna and Ciel.

"You guys?!" Bai Fan's words surprised Lamo.

The question was greeted by a nod by Luna. "Yes. We both decided to follow him. So, if he wants to fight, of course we will also come!" disconnections.

Ciel sighed resignedly. "Yes! of course. reducing the chances of falling victim would be very good."

With these four men added, Lamo felt that their stronghold would become easier. Because, Lamo could see that the four people were extremely strong.

Lamo looked at Arya. He concludes that, this is Arya's way of holding back the four, in order to help her.

Lamo's assessment of Arya has changed. According to him, Arya has her own way to help herself as well as her sect.

"Young man, I'm sorry for once again doubting your help."
