A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 260 – Opposition of Understanding
The cottage was swallowed in a gripping silence. They have no reason to deny the truth. It must be determined by a single leader among them.
This is inevitable. Five people, five personalities, five brains, five troops. It will never unite unless it ends in division if it puts them all in the position of "leader". And it is very dangerous for later. Perhaps the history of World King Silat will repeat itself, where they make a fuss with each other.
Sung Han glanced at his wife, there was absolutely no rejection from the young mistress' eyes. Just looking blankly into the distance left Sung Han unable to guess his way of thinking.
He turned his gaze, looking at Khuang Peng and Nie Chi. Both bow their faces with frowns. Lastly, he saw Gu Ren. The one with his most senior attitude, where he was indeed the oldest, looked at Sung Han full of probes.
"Sung Han, what are you thinking?" hiss Gu Ren sharp.
"You mean?"
"I should have asked? The five of us are the leaders of the warriors, standing on equal footing. We are the heads."
Inevitably, Sung Han's expression revealed a look of disobedience. "I don't want the five of us to be like the princess and the prince."
"Explain!"
"They are both leaders in one region. Have different goals, and so fight each other's own."
Gu Ren then pulled out the table. His face was red with eyes glaring. "Sung Han, what are you thinking?! Your words just about broke all five of us! We have a purpose and are on the same side, our one enemy is the Jeiji Empire! What else to mess around with?"
"Didn't you trust us?" Nie Chi is now hoarding. Although it seemed to be impartial to anyone, but his tone clearly expressed disdain for Sung Han's proposal. And only then did he look very serious. "Please forget that thought."
"I know you're not all stupid and can see reality" Sung Han said, trying to make his voice as calm as possible. "We are the strongest warriors here. So–"
"So what?!" Sung Hwa yelled. The woman stood up. "You want to master these strongest warriors?"
"It's not. I'm just worried about the competition that's going to come up later."
"Mr princess is enough to be our leader" said Khuang Peng. His eyebrows are wrinkled deep.
"If so, he should have been able to manage the warriors without asking for our help at that time!" disputing Sung Han.
"Oh, come on, you're only affected by your members."
Sung Han held his breath. At first he also thought so, but after a long thought, it turned out that there was a point as well.
The warriors are a bunch of weirdos. Sung Han was certain that only a princess would not be able to truly manage them. The only way to manage them was with the swordsman leader himself.
Now World King Silat was five, and five armies were standing under their command. No one knew what was going on in front of him if some people were envious of the other troops. Isn't it hard for warriors to take defeat for granted? If an army is divided into five by different leaders, it is the same as being in competition. The race makes the greatest service for the princess.
But Sung Han was confused as to how to explain that to all of them.
Sung Han shook his head weakly. "If five leaders and five troops. What if those people were going to assume that this was competition? Like you don't understand the way the warriors think. Then, isn't it that with us split into five, there's a good chance for that jerk general at the meeting table to pit all of us? A single leader is needed to prevent that."
The hard-hearted Sung Hwa was about to refute. He opened his mouth but no words came out. Same with Gu Ren. While Nie Chi with Khuang Peng, since then still looks hesitant.
"Please think carefully. I'm not talking because I'm looking for a position. Maybe at first I instigated the talk of my men, but come to think of it as reasonable."
...****************...
Without feeling, time goes fast and a month has passed. The time that the princesses gave the five of them to form a strong army ready to advance into the battlefield.
How excited the princess to know her fifth report that in the period of one month, their troops have grown very rapidly. In addition to growing stronger in the group, it also grew stronger in individual strength.
The princess is doing a prank game with it. He had one hundred of his soldiers led by a master tactician general to attack one by one the Silat World King's troops in turn.
Who wins are those who can drop the leader of the army in a prone position.
The five forces were able to win the game with the guerrilla strategy of the Midnight Wolf. Make the general troubled and must recognize the superiority of the warriors.
But from here alone, it was clear whose troops were the strongest and weakest. It was none other than Sung Han and Sung Hwa. Where Sung Han is the strongest.
From here alone, it has felt an unpleasant change of atmosphere. His three brothers regarded Sung Han's proposal as an insult. Because they think Sung Han thinks that troops other than his army are weaker. So propose it to decide who deserves to lead.
Although his wife did not change at all and considered it natural. But when in the room he rebuked loudly.
"My husband, is your proposal for the election of this chairman due to the arrogance that your army must be the strongest?"
That question deeply touched his feelings. This was not what he wanted, it was precisely this that he wanted to avoid very much. If only there was one leader among them, surely four others would assume that he was the leader's confidant. It is not like today that each of us considers ourselves a leader. So that they have their own beliefs that are not necessarily in line with each other.
The next meeting, hotter than ever.
"Don't slander my husband!" Sung Hwa kicked down the cottage table and pointed Gu Ren's nose. "Fucking old man, don't you think my husband's talking like a fucking tongue!"
Gu Ren stood up and looked up wide. "Now everything has been proven to be real. Sung Han felt confident that he would win so proposed the proposal. His army was the strongest, so he considered himself the smartest and greatest. It could have been all this time that he had been observing the training of other troops and after feeling confident he could win, he proposed that election."
"Old bastard!!" Sung Hwa stood up. "If your brother's oath some time ago was just a prank! You're still grudging my husband. I've heard all the stories, how the Black Dragon is a former bandit who later insyaf. Then there is one place in the Black Dragon that was destroyed by the invasion of my husband's enemies. You blamed him for this and sought his guilt for revenge, right?!"
Gu Ren's face was slightly red briefly pale. He did not expect at all to be reminded of the dark times of the Black Dragon. "You don't just talk! It has nothing to do with the past. I'm just reminding your husband not to be greedy. That's what you call brother!"
"Omong empty! I saw yesterday you and these two sneakers whispering to each other while glancing at my husband with envious gazes. You don't accept my husband winning, do you?" Sung Hwa's breathing hunted for a while. He looked at Gu Ren, Khuang Peng and Nie Chi alternately. "I don't agree with the election of that single leader. But he is still my husband! And no one in the world can insult him in front of my nose unless I get acquainted with this blade of the sword!"
Suddenly, a light flashed and Sung Hwa was clutching the Moon Eclipse Sword.
That speech was amazing. The faces of Gu Ren, Khuang Peng and Nie Chi had already been flushed red like roasted. Of course their pride was shaken at the hearing of the overwhelming accusation.
Khuang Peng and Nie Chi got up anyway. Their eyes looked sharply.
"Sung Hwa, please watch your talk!" The gentle Khuang Peng rebuked. "We're brothers, right?"
"What brother looks at the other brother with an envious look? Hah, hayo confess! You don't accept my husband winning, do you?" Sung Hwa straightened her body with a defiant attitude.
Sung Han had been silent since then, bowing his face. Let it. Let them fuss themselves to know how precise he was some time ago. This is what happens when each other feels like a "leader".
"You!!" Gu Ren growled and his body floated into the grounds. "As a dashing man, we better get this thing done at the end of the gun. Who is right cannot be determined by a fight!"
"Nice!" Sung Hwa exclaimed and jumped anyway. When he was already standing in front of Gu Ren, he pointed his sword at Khuang Peng and Nie Chi. "Dirty cowards. If you are afraid, watch from far away. This old man is your master and I'm my husband's master!"
Said to be cowardly, Khuang Peng and Nie Chi who had previously taken a neutral stance were enraged as well. This woman is too much, they thought. Must resuscitate.
"Sung Hwa, you're missing!" Nie Chi snapped and his staff was already snatched.
"As a brother, I must discipline you!" Gu Ren floated with both of his fans.
As for the red-switched young man, wordlessly had leaped forward. They had used their own weapons because they knew how hard it would be to fight Sung Hwa with the sword without using a weapon.
Sung Han just looked at the cottage. With a painful heart he closed his eyes, pretending not to know.
