A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 242 – King Chunglai's Decree
The group of warriors, numbering seventeen, was accompanied by dozens of mountain men. Led directly by general Sakha, they head to the deeper heart of the forest.
It seems to have become a custom or habit or maybe because of the effect of force in the body, where every magician who is there is always behaving strangely. For example, now this is.
Seventeen people along with twenty escort people were not weak at all. Even if plunged into the martial world, they occupy the top ranks of the warriors. But now, while walking at the same time, absolutely no one opens the sound.
General Sakha who was in the lead continued to walk without ever looking back as if he already felt confident that his guest would be able to follow. While the closer to the location of the Mountain Man Kingdom, the terrain there is increasingly difficult because of the many shrubs and tree roots that block.
Not infrequently Sakha had to jump to pass the trap that had been set by his own troops. But he just jumped, did not warn his guests at all.
And strangely, the dozen guests were no one was surprised by this attitude. If Sakha jumps they jump. If Sakha suddenly tilts their heads, tilt their heads. Even at one time Sakha jumped using tree ropes, and seventeen people inevitably had to jump with tree rope to make Tok Ciauw wrongly hold, he said, thought of as a tree rope that turned out to be the tail of a snake.
For the condition of the dozens of mountain men, it was truly terrible. If their guests weren't high-headed, they might have pissed their pants.
The attitude of this mountain man army was like a walking corpse. Not speaking at all, even the gaze of his eyes continued straight ahead. When walking, they did not stare at the ground but rather stared in the distance. Justjust wonderful.
After half an hour, they finally arrived at a place called the Mountain Man Kingdom. Indeed, it has been since this warrior troupe entered the territory of the Mountain Man Kingdom. But the place they came to is now arguably the capital.
The houses are simple but well maintained. The streets of the village were clean. The dim condition due to high trees that cover the sun, really makes the atmosphere cool. And Tok Ciauw, subconsciously, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
In the middle of the settlement, there was the largest and most magnificent building when compared to other buildings. The guests could already guess that this was the palace of the Mountain Man Kingdom.
Sakha then ordered the soldiers to return to their respective places. While he himself led the entourage to where the palace was.
Since the gatekeepers already knew Sakha, it was easy for this party to pass through the palace gate. When she reached the palace door, Sakha ordered.
"Don't go in before I call."
They all nodded and waited. Sakha opened the door and entered the palace. A few minutes later, the door again opened and Sakha gestured for them to enter.
Arriving inside, the first sight to be seen was that the palace was quite spacious. But it is very simple, unlike the palaces of emperors or regional dignitaries that luxury overpass.
Up ahead, in the throne seat, sat a tall man who might be between thirty-five and forty-five years old. Whether younger or older because it is difficult to estimate the age of a smooth but gray face.
"Baginda, these are our guests" Sakha said.
Led by the great high grandfather, they were all enraged. "Sorry to interrupt."
He is King Chunglai. A king of the Mountain Man Kingdom who had only ascended the throne for a few years. But with him, the Mountain Man Kingdom became more stable than during the reign of king Torgan.
Chunglai smiled. "No need to be confused. Your attitude is like we're human eaters. Haha ... General Sakha, get a seat ready!"
Sakha immediately followed the orders without answering. He helped several servants prepare a seat that was immediately occupied by the seventeen warriors. Directly with King Chunglai.
"Will you gentlemen be willing to come to our place? Is anything? Rarely do we get guests from the lowlands." King Chunglai started the conversation.
Without hesitation, Tok Ciauw cooked an apple and drank the water.
"Don't kid!" said.
"Good, we're glad you like it" King Chunglai laughed happily. He also prevented the white eye that was about to reprimand Tok Ciauw.
The king took a grain of wine and ate it. Finally, he decided to host his guests first. They talked about something that was not very important, just to fill the atmosphere in the middle of the banquet.
After a few minutes, King Chunglai finally began a more serious conversation. "Alright, I think that's enough for the bases. What is the need until we have the honor to receive the visits of the warriors?"
"Include us three parents who have forgotten their own names are often known as Silent Hermits. As for the brothers sitting there," he said as he pointed at Tok Ciauw. "He was named Tok Ciauw nicknamed the Devil Golden Goa Chest."
Chunglai's eyes widened slightly. "Ah, may the Silent Hermit and the master of the Golden Goa in the north? Wow ... wow, what wind is there to fly you here?"
"We want to talk about the invasion of the Jeiji Empire, Sire," said the great height representing his comrades.
"Oh, what is it?" the look on the king's face changed slightly even though his tone did not change.
"As we all know. The Jeiji Empire had taken control of the south and it was only a matter of time until they invaded to the north. And if so, it was likely that they would pass through the Heaven Wall Mountains, which was why it was possible that the existence of the Mountain Man Kingdom would be threatened."
King Chunglai did not immediately reply, his eyes staring into the distance. "Actually, I've made up my mind a long time ago."
All the guests were shocked, even this once Sakha was shocked to the point of rising from her seat. He looked at his king with a look of disbelief.
"Baginda, I've never heard of it before" said Sakha.
King Chunglai smiled. "Yes, this is my secret. This ... relates to that catastrophe a few years ago. Miss Songli's incident."
"G ...." Strangely, Sakha's face turned grim. "In that case, I have no right to interfere."
Of course the guests did not understand, nor did they know who Miss Songli was. But they did not ask and just kept quiet.
"The war of history last year was a great calamity that shook our land. But the mountain man did not interfere at all so that the Jeiji Empire would not know about us" King Chunglai said. "So if we just shut up and let them through, then everything will be safe."
Dahi Tok Ciauw. "Insecure. Right enough. You're the safe ones."
"Don't get me wrong, didn't I tell you I made up my mind?" chunglai said with a smile. "There's one reason I had to step in to keep them here. If you'd like, please give us your support."
