A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 108 – Battles [][][]
That morning, this group of two hundred people came out from one small village closest to the Heaven Wall Mountains. They were a group of refugees coming from the direction of the Golden city to the king's city in the north.
When a large tall man, thick-moustached and haunted-faced, stood at the edge of the road watching the party who was moving out of the village, he was approached by a village man.
"Don't you think it's as bad as the situation in Golden City to this many people who are displaced?"
The mustachioed man nodded, "Right, be grateful for your place away from the battlefield."
After the last man came out of the village, this mustachioed man saluted and went to follow the group. But he quickly slipped between the troupe to get to the side of the horse-drawn carriage, he walked by the side of the carriage.
It was easy to tell who this group of refugees was, as explained in the beginning, Chang Song Zhu's group of daughters disguised themselves as commoners and went on a journey towards the north. Every city or village that passed, they must have thought this group was a group of refugees.
When the sun is directly overhead, the situation becomes dim and dim. Princess Chang Song Zhu who saw the light in the curtains dimmed, she was curious and looked out.
"Daughter, we have reached the Mountains of Heaven's Wall" said general Pek Kong, who was right next to the carriage.
This princess looked in admiration at her surroundings. It turns out that the situation in the mountains of this legend is very strange and beautiful. A towering tree is not common to humans, too tall to be up there to form a kind of leaf umbrella. That's why the midday sunlight can't penetrate at all.
But when looking down, many flowers and various kinds of plants are various colors. Equipped with a silent atmosphere that was destroyed by the singing of wild birds, adding comfort in the hearts of all those who were tense.
"I want to get out" said the princess who surprised her five closest bodyguards. But he did not wait for a response at all and directly jumped down from the horse carriage. Come on foot.
"Well princess, wear this horse" said general Pek Kong who ran forward and removed one of the chariot's towing horses. He gave it to his daughter. Obviously this surprised the driver who was not aware that the passenger had disembarked.
Chang Song Zhu did not refuse that and rode on his general-granting horse. He ran his horse slowly accompanying the other party.
Since then, this princess does not want to go into the train anymore because she wants to enjoy the natural beauty that is rarely seen. Of course, the car was only taken in an empty state.
...****************...
"What about that story? How about it's real?"
"Therefore, hope the princess gets into the carriage from here. It's dangerous!" general Pek Kong warned.
The princess looked indifferent, her attention more attracted to the butterflies passing by, "Let it be, they are also human, as long as we do not disturb."
"But ladies, they are savages who only know how to swing a gun."
"It's just a story, a fairy tale." said the princess did not want to lose to her general. The next words made those who were resting were very worried, "I was also curious about the inhabitants of the Heaven's Wall Mountain Range."
Afterwards, Chang Song Zhu's daughter continued to argue with her subordinates. But the thirty-year-old woman who did not have a partner still did not want to lose and insisted.
"Here you go, I'm bored in the train!" the princess said. This time no one can argue. But general Pek Kong secretly told some people to keep an eye out in front, worried in case there was an obstacle.
Then they walk on their way. Supposedly, the time it took to cross the Heaven Wall Mountains only took three days, but this time it was up to four and a half days.
On a morning almost to noon, the princess was shocked when she heard the screams from the front row. If only the one who was screaming was his own subordinate.
"Surely something bad." murmured general Pek Kong who could still be heard by Song Zhu. The old man hurriedly walked to the front row approaching his subordinates who were screaming.
"What's wrong?" he said after arriving in front. He was shocked when he saw that person was seriously injured. Two other people were also injured.
"Ahead there is war. Behind this hill, there is a great war. Other comrades have been killed by stray attacks" said the worst wounded man.
At that time Chang Song Zhu's daughter had already arrived and asked, "What do you mean?"
The man replied, "Mountain men are fighting amongst themselves. I don't know what's going on, but they're fighting each other."
"Does the mountain man really like to fight between tribes?" ask the princess to everyone.
"In the stories we used to hear, never brought up the issue. According to legend, mountain men were the inhabitants of the Heaven's Wall Mountains. The rest is not clear" Pek Kong said.
When Chang Song Zhu was thinking about where to go, there was suddenly a commotion in the middle of the line. Quickly Chang Song Zhu turned to look and he was shocked once.
"Seranga!!" exclaimed the coachman who quickly jumped down because the carriage had been burned by the arrow of fire.
This incident made them all panic and simultaneously move away. The carriage-dwelling horse thrashed and raced. Take that burning chariot everywhere and set some soldiers on fire. Fortunately, they quickly took off their clothes and moved away.
"Take off the horse, put out the fire!" pek Kong's orders. Then he looked in one direction with narrowed eyes. Similarly, Chang Song Zhu's daughter was looking in the same direction.
"That's the mountain army!" exclaim one of the princess' guards and pull out the sword. Pek Kong immediately ordered to prepare.
"Protect the princess!!" lantang.
From the left of the line, there appeared a black horde from a distance like a group of ants. They were many, seeing from his very noisy voice.
Their clothes were made of animal skins, quite strange in the eyes of this government troupe because indeed they had never seen. But to their horror, their mounts are not horses, but forest animals.
Tiger, lion, cheetah, bull, bison. Some even ride elephants or giraffes. There are crocodiles too.
This princess who had only just seen a mountain man, let alone in that battle state, became nervous as well. He was not afraid to face humans even from the swordsmen. But these people seem to be different than that.
"Retreat!! They're too many!" chanted Chang Song Zhu.
"Sir, you go first!!" general Pek Kong said riled. The army is getting closer.
When the princess was about to refute, in the left row there was already a commotion because the mountain man army had been crashing like the waves of a fierce ocean. For a moment the front row has been thrown here and there is no excuse.
The princess's face paled.
"Shuuut!!"
"Gee!!" the princess exclaimed stifled as her body was dragged down by someone. Almost at the same time, an arrow passed over his head, where it would be right stuck on his neck if he was not quickly pulled down.
"Sorry sassy the princess" said Pek Kong who had already turned around and slashed his sword. May the army of mountain men have arrived at the center of the line.
"General.gawat, this is impossible!! There's no way we can escape!! The princess..lives the princess in danger!!" said one of the princess's bodyguards. Before he finally fell face down and became the target of a spear, sword or whip.
"Trangs-trangs!"
Pek Kong slashed three times and three weapons bounced off the owner's hand. Followed by powerful slashes and separated their three heads.
"I'm sorry my brothers!!!" pek Kong shouted and grabbed the princess' body. He jumped on the horse and drove his horse from there.
The princess was still too shocked and unprepared, her heart was shaken and earlier when she was fighting with some people, her shoulders were injured by the sword.
After his daughter master was taken away, the people there felt a little relieved and fought desperately so that there would be no pursuers of his nona. But it was clear who was the winner of the battle. Then for a moment, about five dozen minutes, two hundred people were wiped out.
