A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 259 – Single Lead
That morning, Sung Han was training his troops on the riverbank just below the cliff not far from the base. He explained the strategies to his team of leaders who listened attentively.
"As a close-quarters force, we are the first to die. Therefore, we must be the strongest in order to survive long in the middle of the battle scene while protecting the forces behind us. Do not just go forward recklessly. Lucky we use guerrilla warfare tactics that really help us." So he explains.
Then after a few minutes of giving this and that lecture, they began to practice Sung Han's teachings. Using a tree trunk target tied with a red rope as a human body parable. Sung Han assigned them to become a professional assassin. One step one life, a maximum of three steps must be able to incise one incision into a red-robed tree.
This was in addition to training their agility, also honing the sharpness and accuracy of the attacks. They were initially told to wait in some of the places that had been provided. As soon as the cue rang out, simultaneously they advanced and quickly slashed the red bound tree trunk. Sung Han had to jellily observe their movements.
A few days had passed and the training continued hard. Even now Sung Han accompanied by some of his highest-headed members, was gang-raped by other members with guerrilla warfare techniques.
"Lack of fast!" Sung Han nudged to the back where appeared a swordsman who was about to support him.
"Your movement is less subtle," he said, firing his energy inwards. A few moments later he called out again. "Strong enough!"
"Dess!"
"But not fast at all!" Sung Han moved a hand which then seemed as if the pair of hands had turned into tens. The big tall man who had attacked him clandestinely was overwhelmed before slamming.
The other three, who accompanied Sung Han, also occasionally gave feedback on the shortcomings of the bullies. They trained with passion and determination, making things very crowded as if they were in a real battle.
The day was already dusk when Sung Han was sitting under a tree while fanning his face with his caping hat. At that time, there was one of the warriors approaching and jutting.
"What's wrong?" ask Sung Han.
"Brother, I just discussed this matter with friends."
"What problem?"
The man seemed a little hesitant. He glanced behind where his friends were sitting waiting, they nodded encouragingly. This person looked at Sung Han back and gathered up the courage to say the intent of his arrival.
"The strategy to divide the group under the leadership of one of the Silat World Kings is very clever. That way we all have teams that have different skills. But one problem ... compactness is clearly never realized if there is no single leader," the man stopped for a moment. "We are afraid that among the World Kings Silat will fight against each other."
Sung Han nodded quickly, as if he was already aware of it. "You don't worry, we won't make any noise."
"Then, it will be difficult to achieve cohesiveness and harmony. Given the expertise per group is different."
This time, Sung Han frowned. Right too, he thought.
...****************...
In the evening, Sung Han informed Gu Ren, Khuang Peng and Nie Chi, asking them to gather at his residence.
Sung Hwa had been asking for the reason Sung Han called them these nights. She was already fussy with her lips pursed an inch, saying her husband's actions were disturbing their night. But Sung Han only replied by saying he would talk about one important matter.
When the three men had arrived, Sung Han immediately invited his wife to greet him.
"No way!" grit it while looking away and holding hands. "And you called. You turned down your wife and chose to go have a drink with them. There go!"
Sung Han shook his head. This was the one attitude that made Sung Han want to bite the woman. How adorable.
Slowly Sung Hwa's head moved. "Certainly that?"
"If I lied, I thought you'd believe it. Come fast!" sung Han hurriedly pulled Sung Hwa by the hand and took him to the front of the yard.
Sung Han immediately took them to the small garden in the courtyard of the house. In a simple wooden hut but clean and neat. Very comfortable to use for conversation.
"What nights did you call us. Didn't you know that we want to rest to prepare for tomorrow?" Nie Chi grumbled.
"I agree with you!" Sung Hwa pointed at Nie Chi's face. "I'm also angry."
"Oh, your wife is angry," Gu Ren commented while enduring her chuckle.
Sung Han sighed a few times while shaking his head.
Presumably only Khuang Peng thought that Sung Han certainly had a reason why he called them all of a sudden. With a serious face, he said.
"Sung Han, what's wrong?"
The young man sighed before answering. "It's about the army we're leading. I was reminded by my troops this afternoon."
"What happened to our team?" gu Ren asked in astonishment. "No problem, right? Don't tell me what you've given, you doubt it yourself?"
Sung Han quickly shook his head. "It's not. This plan is great for us. Making the army of princess majors become much stronger with this army of warriors. Given that each group has different skills, it can make us get more value on the battlefield."
Suddenly Sung Hwa rebuked. "Why should? Is that all you want to say? Waste time! Let's go back home and let them rest."
Yet somehow, in Nie Chi's ear the remark sounded a little different. He was smiling mischievously, yet his eyes held back in annoyance.
"His name .. has a wife ...."
Sung Han needed some time to calm his wife. Afterwards he said something that had been stuck since this afternoon.
"One of my group members said that the difference in expertise in each group does make us superior. But it can also create a dispute."
"Oh, are you worried about that? We're family" said Nie Chi.
"really. But we still need a single leader. Remember, we need cohesiveness. If the warrior army has five leaders, five heads, five brains, then how can it be compact?"
Now they no one considers Sung Han's speech as a trivial matter. Right too, they thought. If they focus on leading their own troops, it is possible in a battle of compactness they disappear and harm other members.
"So .. should we choose a single leader among us?" ask Khuang Peng who understands.
Sung Han nodded. "That's how it is."
