A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 175 – Allied
Sung Han had already memorized where the road leading to the Goose mountain which was located not too far from the city of Leaf. After parting ways with Yang Ruan, with a sad and concerned heart he continued on his own journey towards the east there.
Using the knowledge to lighten his body, the journey was carried out very quickly and in just a few days he had arrived in the outer region of Daun city. Then he turned north to continue the journey to the Goose mountain which is approximately a day trip.
The next day, early in the morning, Sung Han finally arrived in a familiar place. A mountain slope flanked by other mountains, making this place so remote and alienated from the outside world.
Sung Han momentarily looked around, back when he clashed with Kay Su Tek, it felt like just yesterday it happened. But now he had returned to deal with the young man.
Sung Han made up his mind and started climbing. His movements are like a person walking, but because he is a swordsman, let alone not a swordsman, then "his path" is certainly different from other people's paths. Although it seems to walk, but the movement is fast and agile.
Some time later he arrived at the top of Goose mountain and from here, it looks like a magnificent building like a fortress there. Sung Han knew it was the main headquarters of the Black Sword Society or now this could be considered the main place of the heretical group.
He saw several guards going back and forth around the gate. Since he had no intention of looking for a storm and rioting, he calmly walked out of the bunch of trees, coming straight at them from the front.
The people who were guarding outside the gate, or busy playing chess at the guard post, could of course see Sung Han who was casually walking towards them as if he had not known this place. His simple clothes and without carrying a single weapon, made them think of course this person belongs to the class of people lost the way.
One of them tried to get close, he rebuked. Although tried as smooth as possible, but because it is used to living arbitrarily, it sounds rude as well.
"Young man, do you want to come to this place? You lost?"
Sung Han stopped his steps as soon as suddenly there was a person standing in front of him. That person was slightly taller than him, then he should look up. After scrutinizing the person's face for a moment, he smiled widely.
"I am not lost, my purpose is to this place of yours."
"Long-ing!"
Suddenly two more people appeared who had already pointed at Sung Han's neck with spears. While the person who reprimanded earlier had already placed the index and middle fingers on Sung Han's neck. Once in a row, Sung Han could die!
"That means you're not a random person.." sizzled the person who reprimanded earlier.
"I'm an ordinary person, what the hell is this? I don't have any demon science or demonic magic let alone any sort of demit skill. Be calm...." Sung Han said with a wry smile. His hands made a movement to spread them.
But the three of them did not move at all, instead looking at Sung Han with a sharper look. The threat of the two weapons if aimed at ordinary people, of course he must have fallen unconscious or at least pissed on his pants. But this person was calm and could still laugh. It only meant that this young man was indeed no ordinary human.
At that moment came four other people who were still sitting in front of the gate. They saw this tension and quickly approached.
"What is this?!" ask someone who is busy playing chess.
"He's a spy, it seems that way." replied one of the spear holders briefly.
These four people who had just arrived were shocked, they looked at Sung Han wide. Not surprised by the spy report, but surprised because after paying more careful attention to Sung Han, they felt they had seen this young man.
"Ehh...have I ever met you?" said one with a frown. "I feel like I've seen you, but I forgot where."
"Haha, we've never met" Sung Han replied as if.
"Ehh, I've seen it!!" another exclaimed, "This is Sung Han! Rebels who once desperately kidnapped the princess. Right, he's the one!! Must be made to mampus!!"
Hearing this shocking cry, the three people who were already prepared with a deadly attack carried out an attack. The spear poked and the fingers moved.
But how astonished and shocked their hearts were once the weapon and finger hit the target, not Sung Han who collapsed was killed but their weapons and hands that were shaken almost broken.
"Oohhhhh!!" yelled at the boy who felt the index and middle bones had turned.
"Groan!!"
But actually his sharp eyes were carefully continuing to glance towards the gate, hoping Kay Su Tek himself who came to greet him.
...****************...
"So, how? It's a very good deal, isn't it?"
Kay Su Tek seemed to think hard, indeed the proposal and plan of the golden mask was very good for him as well as to avenge his heartache towards the empire.
As already explained, the Black Swallow Bird had come to the top of the Goose mountain to call Kay Su Tek to the head of the Midnight Wolf.
Because it was not ready and did not want to cause a commotion, Kay Su Tek accepted the invitation.
And here we come, in a large room filled only by two people. At the request of the gold mask, he did not want a single person to steal a listen.
The gold mask plan was to unite the forces of five sacred weapons to conquer the empire. Only after that, they would set out to attack the Jeiji empire that had been raging in the southern Chang mainland for some time.
Chang Song Ci had already investigated Kay Su Tek's background and knew that this young man hated the government a lot. But he does not hate his country.
So when word got out that Jeiji's imperial fleet was already visible in the eastern sea of northern Chang, the prince immediately invited Kay Su Tek to make a deal.
In the far north, the Chang empire had a very rich gold cave and was the largest supply of gold in the entire empire. Surely the opposing empire wants the cave to facilitate the course of colonization.
The golden mask asks Kay Su Tek to help him repel Jeiji's imperial attack in the north. After that he asked Kay Su Tek for help to fight the palace when the time had come.
"But you are my great enemy, Chang Song Ci!" his Kay Su Tek fierce.
There was an oddity from behind the mask, "The old business can be completed at a later time. If the business this time continues to expand, doesn't it make us lose time to settle personal affairs?"
"I know you hate and are hostile to the government. But you love this country so much. If so, if you just destroy the government, then what will people live to eat? They can kill each other without a leader." continued the prince.
"Then?"
"Then, after we have conquered the current emperor, I will ascend the throne and that means you must not antagonize me."
"Why is that?!"
"If you antagonize me and kill me, there will be another emperor. You kill again, then change again, you kill again and change again. If it continues like that, do you just live in that endless and hereditary cycle of vengeance? How cute!"
Satirized like this, hot is also the heart of Kay Su Tek.
"You are hostile to the government, it is the current government! Not the past or the coming! So you have a reason to help me now, but you have no reason to fight me in the future."
Quite simply, the prince wanted to tell Kay Su Tek that all the problems of Kay Su Tek's life were the result of the current government. So it was only natural that the young man wanted to take revenge to the current government.
But in the future, the young man cannot and should not arbitrarily antagonize the government. Because not necessarily in the future the government will harm him anyway.
After thinking for a while, he finally heard her say, "Alright, I accept. But don't expect me to believe you!"
"That's fine."
