A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 215 – General Decree
Nie Chi, Khuang Peng and Sung Hwa were taken to where Guo Cu's generals were. During this trip, Sung Hwa took the time to pay attention here and there. The city is quite large as well, and the buildings that are there are too good to be used as buildings that are close to the fort.
"Han Ji, where are you from?" nie Chi asked shortly after getting out of the gathering place of the warriors.
"In the southern region around the Heaven's Wall Mountains. But I just came back from the north." replied Sung Hwa or now who uses the name Han Ji.
Nie Chi nodded. For some reason from earlier he seemed very interested in this figure of Han Ji. While stroking his chin he asked again.
"What college did you come from? Your intelligence is so amazing, you must have a great teacher."
Han Ji nodded and smiled faintly. "My teacher is amazing, but he's not a big guy. And I'm sorry I can't tell you more than this."
"Well, that's unfortunate." Nie Chi looked disappointed.
Khuang Peng, who had been silent earlier, now joined the conversation. "Miss Han Ji, why did you choose to risk your life by joining this army?"
Han Ji looked at him confused. "I can ask you that too. Why did you join?"
Khuang Peng sighed. "I had no other choice, in fact I was very reluctant to fight each other. But circumstances forced, and I didn't want to be on the opposing side of the emperor."
"Oh, so. If I joined just because I wanted to. No particular reason."
The two young men looked surprised. Nie Chi quickly asked.
"Why is that? It's war, don't you play games."
"I know it's a war. And I know that if I don't get involved in this war, then the whole people will suffer with Jeiji's savagery. I joined this war just out of instinct as a patriot."
...****************...
A big tall and stocky, his age was certainly no less than forty years but looking at his body, still overshadowing his immense strength and stamina. He was the general Guo Cu who led their army. Also army troops.
After this general told him to sit down, quickly the three people had already taken seats and sat down facing the general.
"So, what are you going to say?" Nie Chi asked. Like the character of his teacher, without further ado.
"We had a discussion with each other" the general said and was immediately cut off by Nie Chi's words.
"'We' who?"
"The general. I and the three other generals have made a unanimous decision as to the defense plan of the Dragon Mustika if the attack takes place at any time."
At that time, a servant came and served various kinds of drinks at the table. General Guo Cu paused for a moment his words so as not to be heard by the servant. After arranging the food on the table, the general sent the servant out.
Nie Chi took one dumpling from his place. "So, how?" tanyakanya.
The general poured wine for him and the three guests. He drank wine in one gulp. Only then did he answer Nie Chi's question. "The people of the jungle will be placed on the front line."
Instantly Nie Chi choked on her dumplings, Khuang Peng spouted back the wine that had already reached her throat and Han Ji kicked the table.
"Do you see us as fresh meat to feed to hungry wolves?" yelled Han Ji with a red face. "Our number is the least, but our help also needs to be taken into account!"
General Guo Cu moved his hands to calm Han Ji. "Let's calm, lady, we've been thinking about this carefully."
"Try to prove that your mind is no longer raw!" ask Han Ji to be impatient. This action was taken by two other people.
"Where were we placed?" Han Ji demanded back.
"The lower fortress."
Han Ji raised a hand, he wanted to smash the table if only his hand was not held back by Khuang Peng. But even so, his mouth still sent a spicy curse.
"Devil, rotten pig! That means telling us to kill ourselves!! It does not even rule out the possibility that we will be hit by your own arrows!!"
"You guys are the ones who are used to fighting one on one. You don't know the war tactics. So putting the enemy right in front of your eyes is the best thing for us as well as you!" General Guo replied no less fiercely.
"What's? Please distinguish between the giving of duty and human sacrifice!"
"We all make sacrifices!!"
"We warriors you deliberately sacrificed to be bait!"
General Guo Cu's breathing was puffed up by the emotions that started to flare up. He kicked the table once and turned to the inner room.
"Guild's over!"
...****************...
The lower fortress, it was a fortress whose position was lower than the main fortress of Mustika Naga. The fort is right on the coastline and is not as long as the fortress of Mustika Naga. The length of the fortress below is only enough to cover the gap of the bay on the east coast. However, this fort is very strong.
But its location, which is much lower than the fortress of Mustika Naga, is also closer to the sea, it means endangering anyone who stands there. It could be that they will be hit by an allied attack coming from behind, or destroyed by the troops from the front.
According to Khuang Peng, the lower fortress was only used as an enemy guard. Not designed to be filled by troops. That's why Sung Hwa was so angry.
"Fuck, if we retreat it means cowardice, if forward it's suicide!" Han Ji was still nagging the entire way home.
Khuang Peng and Nie Chi were silent because they did not know what to say. Indeed, if you think about it, the most fitting swordsman position is close to the opponent. If they're behind and tell the archery, it's the same as a chicken being told to fly. Only you can, but not really.
Han Ji continued to harass all the swearing that was quite rude and the cruelest. After a long time, Nie Chi replied.
"If we resist, the general must say it is a war tactic. Do we have to back down just because of this?"
Han Ji looked at him sharply. "You're planning on retreating?"
"No" replied Nie Chi. "I'm just asking you."
"I'm not willing to back off. Who's afraid of dying?"
After they arrived at the headquarters of the warriors, those who were noisier immediately turned their attention to the three people. The faces of the three seemed to be holding in annoyance and this astonished all of them in their hearts.
"The decision of the generals has been unanimous" Khuang Peng said. "The army of warriors is at the lower fortress."
The warriors became noisy and all the swearing was heard. Han Ji who heard Khuang Peng's words returned to emotion and he joined in enlivening the crowded atmosphere full of swear.
"General pig! I'll kill them after this war is over!"
