"Howeeek... Howeeek...”

The baby's cries were heard big and clear by Avraam who was outside the house. He had been walking up and down restlessly, worried that something would happen to her first child, and really hoped that her child would be born healthy and perfect.

"It's a boy!" screamed the woman inside.

When he heard that, Avraam immediately smiled with emotion, very happy. After the delivery process was complete, Avraam immediately entered and immediately held his eldest son who was so handsome and kissed him, then gave him a name. “Brockley Leofric! I hope he will become a formidable leader in the future.”

Avraam brought the baby closer to his wife who was still lying weakly on the bed. He joked with his wife that their son's face only looked like his father's, nothing from his mother's.

Hearing that, Megan smiled to herself. "Hopefully be a brave man as well as you, my husband."

As the right-hand man of the Village Head, Avraam does have a high patriotic and social spirit. His name is fragrant throughout Arbilis Village. He is a role model and role model for the community. If outside the house he is well known, inside the house there must be more than that. Avraam is a firm, loyal, devoted, sincere, and willing to sacrifice for the good.

However, when the happy moment in the morning was taking place solemnly, suddenly one of the envoys from the Village Head knocked on the wooden door of Avraam's house. He slumped over with a worried expression on his face.

Avraam opened the door. "What is it?" he asked with a serious face.

“Avraam, the Omra Empire is about to attack our village.”

Hearing the shocking news, Avraam went straight to the Village Head right then and there. At the Village Head's house, there was a heavy discussion among the higher-ups because there had been disagreements. The village head and several of his subordinates wanted him to surrender. However, Avraam and some of his close associates were determined to put up a fight.

The reason why the Omra Empire wanted to attack was because recently precious metals had been found in Arbilis Village, such as silver, gold and other metals. They wished to plunder Arbilis Village's precious earth treasures for their sake.

The Omra Empire was one of the most feared empires or kingdoms around the 3rd century AD. Their territory is vast and their military is very strong. If they expand by way of war, they are never defeated. Emperor Aurelix was known as arrogant, cruel, merciless, and greedy. Most enemies will surrender to him.

The village head of Arbilis said resignedly, “If they manage the gold and silver, we will definitely get a share. So, it's better for us to just give up on them, than there will be a lot of casualties among us."

The people closest to him agreed to the suggestion.

However, Avraam refused firmly. “Arbilis is our land! Gold, silver, and other crops are all ours! We must not give up. We must put up a fight!”

Those closest to him also agreed to the suggestion.

Arbilis Village is a very fertile place. During this time, if they threw any kind of seed, it would definitely grow. In addition, they will not lack water because this village has several clean rivers. Green, calm, shady, dim, and shrouded in peace.

Even so, the village chief still refused to fight against the soldiers of the Omra Empire. Even though they exert as much energy as possible, they will never win a war because apart from the enemy being formidable with all their prowess, they also do not have adequate war equipment and have no experience in fighting at all.

“We're just going to die silly! In essence, we will surrender to them!” concluded the Village Chief in a firm voice.

Avraam and five others left this emergency meeting. During the trip, he discussed again with the others. A conclusion has been obtained and a clear path that war is the most appropriate step. Therefore, this morning Avraam immediately gathered volunteers who wanted to fight with them.

The six people went to people's homes, giving warnings that their village would be attacked by the Omra Empire, then the village would be exploited and stolen all the treasures hidden beneath it. Then, they also motivate every man and woman to defend their homeland.

"Fight to defend our rights even if we have to die!" cried Avraam excitedly.

After walking around the village for a long time, Avraam finally found three hundred and fifty volunteers consisting of three hundred men and fifty women. Ten percent of them are children and youth. With love and high fighting spirit, in the end they will put up a big fight even with makeshift manpower and equipment.

When he was home again, Avraam approached his wife and held his eldest son in his arms. “We must get Brockley out of the village! I don't want anything to happen to him. If I fall, I hope he will become a successor to the family and the village!”

Megan burst into tears. On this happy day, a mother who has been pregnant for nine months must give up parting with her first son. Megan couldn't help but be sad. However, he was also forced to accept this heavy fate, letting his son go.

Knowing that the Omra Empire will attack the village, Megan's foster sister who has lived with them for five years also volunteers. "I'm going with Brockley out of the village." The fifteen-year-old woman promised to look after, care for and raise Brockley, then return him to the village. “So far you two have been good to me. As a return and a form of gratitude towards you two.”

Riley Royse became a mature woman at a young age. Besides being beautiful with a perfect physique, she also has intelligence. Avraam and Megan finally accept Riley's wishes. Then, the two of them turned to Herbert, his biological younger brother Avraam, and his wife Yara for help. Herbert and Yara also brought their one-year-old baby.

“Herbert, please educate my son. Yara, please breastfeed him. And Riley, please love him," Avraam said as he let go of his arms and gave the tiny baby to Riley's arms.

After receiving a lot of supplies, the horse-drawn carriage finally left Arbilis Village, heading for exile.

Avraam held back tears. He muttered to himself as he waved his hand, “Brockley, I hope you come home soon, son!”
