A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 217 – You're a Good Man 4
Fortunately inside there are still many warriors who have been quick to stem the attack of the opponent. After a while, chaos ensued. The rain of arrows and the clinking sound of swords, the screams of pain, blaring filled all corners of the battlefield.
Han Ji jumped here and there, dodging various kinds of attacks that came to then attack back. Similarly, Khuang Peng and Nie Chi were secretly worried about the girl, so they moved closer to Han Ji.
"Yahoo!!"
Han Ji screeched and did a full round. The wind blew upwards like a tornado that flew dozens of sanurai at once. The strength of the true swordsman began to be shown and many of the opponents were glimpsing.
Troops three and four had already moved down from the fort and were besieging on the left-right. One commando trumpet resounded as shouts rang out and the lower gate was closed using the second layer door. A strategy neither Jeiji nor the swordsman understood. May the lower fortress be deliberately left to break down to let the samurai flood in and trapped.
Of course Jeiji's troops who had already been pushed into the lower fortress were confused, while those outside were looking for a way to save their comrades who were inside. But then again the trumpet reverberated, from the left right outside the lower fortress, storming the troops one and two.
This opening war, successfully won by Chang's side.
...****************...
"So, are you saying that we sacrificed you?" Guo Cu asked. His face was so proud of victory. "You are few to bait, but you are the key to the success of this war. Nice one!"
Han Ji gritted his teeth as it was unthinkable for a single sentence to refute the general's words. He glanced at the two young men beside him, Khuang Peng and Nie Chi, both of whom were not trying to resist at all.
"Ck, whatever!" Without saying goodbye, Han Ji went outside.
It was followed by Khuang Peng and Nie Chi who immediately became respectful and respectful.
"Why do you look so irritated? We just won." Nie Chi said after they had gone some distance away from Guo Cu's place.
Han Ji scowled. "Remain, we are like dogs that are merely obedient. That's not the character of the warriors."
Khuang Peng held back his laughter. And Han Ji glanced at him sharply. "Explain what you're talking about!"
"Haha, you're so funny. We win you nag, if we lose I'm sure you won't. So, what do you want?"
Han Ji's face flushed red and once again he was unable to argue. Eventually this girl chose to leave the two with her legs stomped.
Han Ji did not return to where the warriors were, instead he headed to the Dragon Mustika fortress and climbed to the highest part. On the roof of the fortress guard tower, looking at the group of opposing fleets that were still preparing in the eastern sea of Chang.
Han Ji secretly complained, will the Chang empire win? If that was the only question, then in this Dragon Mustika fortress Han Ji was more than confident they would win. But what about the other regions? Will they be able to survive better than the Dragon Mustika fortress?
Han Ji racked his brain from feeling confused by the attitude of the opponent leader. Whether they were stupid enough or there was absolutely no explanation in Jeiji empire there about how powerful the Dragon Mustika fortress was. Especially right on this part of the bay, it was the power core of the Dragon Mustika fortress.
If they thought about challenging this fortress, would it not be better to attack the other bastions, which made it easier for them to gain victory?
Thinking in silence and solitude actually makes all the allegations grow bigger. And it does not end with a way out, it makes the head dizzy.
After a long time, Han Ji felt that someone was standing behind him. He pretended not to hear, at least if not Khuang Peng, it must be Nie Chi. Who else is it?
"What are you doing? Relax in a place like this?"
That heavy voice, Han Ji recognized him! Not Khuang Peng, not Nie Chi. Someone he knows better than both.
His eyes were bought and he hurriedly turned around. "Sung ..., ah, Sung Han, what's wrong?"
The young man with the caping and the black coat instantly collapsed the moment Han Ji looked at him. His coat was torn and burning here and there. Also the cap was not in good health anymore and so collapsed, detached and flew out of nowhere. Dried blood splattered all over the young man's robe.
Han Ji, who was actually that Sung Hwa, quickly lifted Sung Han's head and placed it in his lap. "yes it's me. Sung Hwa's." Using his handkerchief, he rubbed his face. The face of Sung Hwa the Red Eagles.
Sung Han suddenly clutched his collar. "What are you doing, motherfucker?!"
Instantly Sung Hwa became confused, also slightly irritated by Sung Han's attitude. He brushed Sung Han's hand and said. "What's wrong with you? You didn't see? It is in danger of great danger!" While saying, Sung Hwa pointed towards the sea. "The Jeiji imperial fleet is already preparing to attack again!"
Sung Han pressed against his chest which, judging from his expression, looked extremely painful. "Go ..., ugh, warn others ..., evacuate citizens and leave."
"What do you mean?!" Sung Hwa became furious and snapped. "You're telling us to give up this territory just like that?"
"It's just a diversion!!" Sung Han forced to scream. But soon he coughed. But he continued. "Their forces gathered in a place between this area and the village of Alang-Alang. Know it? The village of Alang-Alang has been destroyed because your attention has been diverted here."
Sung Hwa frowned. "Don't scare me at a time like this. What is the proof that Alang-Alang village has been destroyed? There's no news."
"They killed every messenger sent here."
"When I came here, nothing prevented me."
Sung Han was silent, and Sung Hwa began to believe that his thoughts were correct. But as it turned out, what Sung Han said made much more sense. "You came here a few days before the invasion began. They must know .., ugh .., but let you through so you can be locked up here. After conquering Alang-Alang village, they will move here."
Sung Hwa's face paled. He flicked away Sung Han's hair covering his eyes and looked at the young man's eyes attentively. There was no visible lie, nor any evidence of how scarred his body had explained everything.
"Sung Han ..., what really happened?" lirih. He felt sorry for the young man. "What have you been through? Your eyes are like the eyes of a dead person ..., tell me, what happened?"
Sung Han took a heavy breath, decapitated. "Truly, no matter how strong a warrior may be, they must be bent on resisting the incursion of thousands."
"Thousands of people? Really? Conquering the village takes thousands of people?"
Sung Han nodded. "They want certainty to achieve victory. And ..., you know ...?"
"What's? Know what?" ask Sung Hwa to be impatient.
Sung Han looked so fragile, he looked like he wanted to cry, but he was held back by biting his lower lip. Sung Han clutched onto Sung Hwa's wrist, as if with such, he had more strength so as not to shed tears.
"Girls raped. Children, both men and women, were massacred and their corpses hung all over the village. And we ..., warriors ..., powerless to help ..., we are already weak, against the army of thousands of Jeiji not even two hundred people ..., and they ruthlessly, not directly killing us, but rather allowing us to see the abomination ...."
Sung Han's voice began to contain sobs. "And ... and .. the other brothers sacrificed their lives to save me. .., they told me to go here and tell you to follow soon ...." Sung Han paused for a moment, his grip growing stronger. Sung Hwa let him.
"Then?" ask Sung Hwa lirih. Comprehensively.
"Sung Hwa .. ah, please tell me .. I am a criminal .. I am a traitor .. aan take this eclipse sword and kill me now ...." Her tears started to drip. "I'm ashamed ...."
Sung Hwa did not know what to do other than to hug the young man tightly. He let Sung Han sob in his arms, but it was incredible, Sung Han did not make a crying sound at all!
"Suicide is the most cowardly act for the warriors" he said softly, whispering in Sung Han's ear. "Oh, Sung Han, your heart is too soft for a swordsman. You're a good man."
