A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 191 – First Trap
As planned last night, General Suga's decision was unanimous to immediately invade the Golden Goa. Even the warnings of the ronin leadership were ignored. He would feel very ashamed of the prince if they returned on the grounds that the enemy was too strong. It was the same as giving up before a war. It is better to die on the battlefield.
General Suga did this not just for the realization of his loyalty to prince Daijin Nakagi. Not at all! He did this was to seek sympathy from the prince. Also if he can occupy the Golden Goa, he can definitely take the gold there for himself. Some gold if it goes into his pockets, it will definitely be invisible. That's why he kept insisting. Even when the next day Tenko reminded him.
“You go back to your wife's lap only there if you only face the warrior horde that has already glimpsed. Remember, this is a battle that concerns many people. The science of war is superior, whereas they are only good at one-on-one combat,” general Suga stopped he said for a moment, “We've gone through many battles, we've gone through many battles, then you can imagine how messed up they would be if they had to be told to fight in groups.”
Tenko frowned, “We ronin are more shrewd in one-on-one combat. It's been a long time we didn't plunge into the battlefield.”
“Then it's so good. You ronin attacked from blind spot all of a sudden. Or you guys compete one-on-one with their strong swordsman.” The general then continued his activities using his armor. After slipping the katana sword at the waist, seeing Tenko had not left yet, he said again, “Have it, just make a child with your wife there!”
Tenko was berating, enduring this annoyance and humiliation and then went outside. This action was only met with a mild naughtiness of General Suga. This short man then went outside and faced the prepared army line. The banners of war fluttered valiantly, and he stood at a slightly higher place.
“Show Chang that their victory a few centuries ago was no more than a mere coincidence.”
“Yaaaa...”.
****************
Sung Han was sitting casually at the end there, leaning against a sizable tree. His attitude was completely indifferent to the circumstances surrounding being busy preparing for this and that.
From a distance, the golden mask silently looked at him fiercely. From the beginning he did not expect this boy, but he also never thought that Sung Han would be that thick. He re-organized his men who later had to be in a certain place, then he also strengthened various traps on the road to the beach.
“The Jeiji Empire will not take a detour,” exclaimed Sung Han suddenly when the golden mask told his men to guard on the side of the forest. Where is the road they went on when they came here, “they will not take a detour,” Sung Han again.
The golden mask looked at him fiercely, “How can you be so sure boy?”
“Look at it later. Maybe they have calculated if taking a detour, it is definitely lost,” he said while looking at which direction this group came at that time. Through the thick forest path and the uphill road, “you also think demikan right? In such a field, I think it would be very difficult for those with iron armor. Obviously they will be destroyed there.”
This time the golden mask faced Sung Han completely after twisting the body. “You mean if through a road full of traps, then they are not necessarily lost?”
Sung Han pretended to yawn, “Entah, it could have been your troops who were hit by his own trap.” After that Sung Han took a nonchalant attitude and darkened his eyes.
The golden mask clearly did not understand that remark. Kay Su Tek and Tok Ciauw also listened. Even they would laugh if they found out that Sung Han actually did not understand. He said it was demicia to think he should be there.
After doing various preparations, finally saw the banner of Jeiji imperial war on the beach there. Their forces were probably three hundred, slightly more than the swordsmen, yet none of them were daunted.
“Move to position. Ready standby!” Chang Song Ci gave the order that his men immediately put in the line.
They jumped down into the steep road that had been messed up with black stones, then hid behind large stones to wait for the arrival of the opposing army and activated a trap. There are also those who bury themselves with stones that will later perform a shock attack from below.
As for Kay Su Tek's troops, they waited on the edge of that steep road, sheltered by the forest trees. Their job was the same, performing surprise attacks.
As for Sung Han, he was nonchalant and waited in front of the cave with Tok Ciauw. Presumably Tok Ciauw did not mind either.
A few moments later, there were trumpet sounds again but with different tones and tempos. The army is back on the move and it's faster now. There were more trumpets and their movements became faster, even now half-run.
But just when it was about to touch the front row of traps, the troops stopped again after the sound of trumpets. Circumstances become silent afterwards, a gripping silence and bring an atmosphere of great tension. Both on the side of the swordsman and on the side of Jeiji empire.
They were all aware that the enemy was right in sight. Even
the first line of Jeiji's empire had already seen some warriors who had
ready behind a big rock. But they pretend not to know.
“What is this?” muttered Sung Han in astonishment who was looking from up there.
The wind that blew that morning added to the silence of the atmosphere. Everyone gulped their hard-earned saliva.
Almost everyone on the part of the swordsman was shocked and screamed when suddenly the sound of trumpets from the Jeiji empire was very loud. They immediately pulled out the weapons and got ready. But the warriors were deceived, if the sound of this trumpet was not the command to move, the army still stopped in place.
But it looks like black power that moves very quickly from the middle of the row. Everyone was wide-eyed as a few people in black clothes jumped up and threw black balls.
“Ninja squad? Hm... they have prepared well,” comments Sung Han who is still reluctant to intervene.
“Blar... blar... blar...!”.
If the black balls were as secret weapons that could explode. As soon as it hit the ground, it exploded and emitted a thick smoke. At that time, the loudest sound of trumpets was heard, followed by the cries of spirit burners from the Jeiji troops who had invaded.
“Ahhhhhh..” This first shout came from the swordsman Chang who stood closest to the opposing line. Confused by the smoke, he was unaware of the blade that had slit his throat.
“Traps, traps...!” exclaim those people.
But because the smoke was so thick, they became disoriented and confused. As a result, Jeiji's troops who had broken into the front row of the advance guard could easily slaughter them.
While the warriors forces instead of activating a trap, but instead trapped themselves by the opponent's strategy.
“First squad destroyed, hahaha.”.
Everyone could hear this and everyone was shocked. Even the swordsmen exclaimed in anger when they found out who had issued this ridiculing remark. He was none other than Sung Han who laughed at the prince's plans.
“Huahahaha... hahahaha..” The laughter continued but the war below did not stop at all.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
