A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 195 – Earthquake
General Tang Lin and the troops moved north towards the Golden Goa. The longer the general's premonition of Tang Lin grew even more uneasy. After some time, he finally decided to stop and call one of his trusted men.
"Investigate. Careful, it must be a battle, you can hear his voice right?" the general said, his eyes looking up there attentively, "Not much. Seven people if you count. Investigate there, make sure who fights, don't interfere!"
The people standing around the general looked wide-eyed and their faces turned slightly pale. After all they were soldiers who had been trained with various kinds of battles, but the battle in such a high place, also listening to the sounds that were quite awkward, they guessed that the ones who fought must have been warriors.
General Tang Lin's man called six of his friends who he thought could move the fastest and most agile. After being ready and getting the approval of the Tang general, they went upstairs to the Golden Goa in the form of a high cliff.
But just after they left, maybe about a quarter of an hour, they came back with a healthy body. Tang Lin frowned.
"Have finished? That quick? Who's fighting?" the general was impatient.
The seven people looked at each other for a moment doubtfully. Then the general who was asked to investigate finally spoke up, "We who only number seven seems impossible to reach the Golden Goa. Let alone this many troops, it is no longer possible for a general."
General Tang Lin frowned, "You mean?" the question does not understand because it is completely foreign to the area around here.
"The cliff there is looming too high sir. If you want to climb, it could be, but it must be in order and lined up. But if so, it will take too much time and endanger us" the general reported.
General Tang was curious, he got off his horse and said to the maid, "Take me there!"
Go this general was delivered by the seven men. He walked quickly and as his curiosity continued to churn within his chest. If the cliff is that high, then how is there a battle above that is presumably not that small battle?
Upon arrival there, this general was unable to be held standing flabbergasted with his head looking up. Staring upwards at a towering cliff that seemed to be piercing the sky.
"This....how do we climb?"
"Through that road the general" said one of his aides pointing to the right. Then they sent the general to the place, a little uphill and arrived at a road that Tok Ciauw called a secret road.
But for ordinary people, the road was only slightly better than the surrounding walls. Only the difference is a little sloping, but for the soldiers it is impossible to pass this road with an army of that size.
"This is impossible. It could still be if we make a row of one or two people side by side, but how long will we climb? We're not really magicians?" the general muttered his thoughts.
They're deadlocked, a completely dead-end road. It is rare for people around the city of the king to know the road to Goa Gold. General Tang already knew that the road to the top was through the coast, but he heard also that the Jeiji imperial army was near the shore. So he wanted to memyamnut the troops by waiting first in Goa Gold.
There is no other way but the beach. And it was like this, how they wanted to continue the task.
"Ohhhh!!!"
Suddenly the eight men were shaken and staggered, then fell down except for the general. But the face of this middle-aged man looked panicked and pale. With buying eyes, he quickly told all his men to get up.
"Back, pull the troops!! The earthquake!!"
...****************...
General Suga's head had been separated from the body and plugged into the tip of the spear, then the spear was stuck on a large high rock to show Jeiji's side that they had just lost.
Looking at the head of the opposing general, Sung Han's eyes then searched around. After finding something he was looking for, he dashed towards it while knocking down some pretty decent people.
Jeiji's imperial flag, that's what he's looking for. The flag that was planted in the rear row during the war, and guarded by three men who were now only able to stand staring at the head of the pale-looking General Suga at the tip of the spear.
Sung Han jumped up, moved his accomplices and collapsed, slamming the three people. Then with a smile on his lips as if there was no war, he jumped up and crept down the flagpole. Then once ripped, tear off Jeiji's clothes.
"Evampers!! Surrender!! There is no room for you to keep fighting!" the cry of this golden mask seemed to be a bolt of lightning for them. Their spirits vanished already and many fell to their knees.
Even Kushinage Tenko, he chose to stick his sword on the rock. With a raised chest and a faint smile, he said loudly, "Indeed the great swordsman Chang is all. Ahahaha!!"
Gradually, the resistance began to stop and there was no choice for them not to give up. They throw away weapons, for those who hold weapons, will be killed on the spot.
Deftly, the warriors were without the need for shackles against the crippled samurai and the ronin. With a special shot that is difficult to open in the usual way.
So went the company that brought many captives down from this hill. Down the road when they left.
But just as a few people were descending at a decent speed, suddenly the ground under their feet shook. At first it was only subtle so they were not so concerned and only considered as a result of fatigue.
But the longer the shaking gets louder, and they start to stagger.
"The earthquake.hem, this is common." Tok Ciauw's wet raspy voice resuscitated them. This person was still in his coffin standing on one of the stones.
The golden mask, Kay Su Tek and the others looked at this grandfather sharply. Full inquiring. Then Yu Fei said, "Tell me what you're hiding!"
Tok Ciauw glanced from behind his coffin, "Hem." he was silent for a moment and glanced around, "You see this hill, flat and full of rocks. It could have been later after the earthquake, the terrain here could have turned sloping or so."
Everyone paled, "Quick go down." I don't know who's calling this because things are getting frantic with the shaking of the place getting louder.
"Aughh!!"
Sung Han had already exerted his strength into his legs to make him cling, but still he fell down and rolled. There was a huge smell coming down from above.
"Damn!!" he dodged it by sliding to the side. But when he woke up, he had seen a pool of blood under the stone, the blood of the crushed body of a man he had been subjected to as a prisoner.
Gradually, the place where they were standing began to crack and divide for longer. One by one people fell into the new abyss. However, Sung Han still survived by hanging on one of the stones. His hand held the stone tightly.
"This time I'll die for real." Sung Han muttered as he saw a huge rock spewing from above. He doesn't care about anything else anymore. Didn't get to see who made it down first and who's still up here. He just closed his eyes.
"Daaarr."
