A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 263 – Meeting on the Hill
After exactly two weeks, Sung Hwa's condition had finally recovered. Even miraculously, the former stitch had been crisp at all. As if there were no previous stitches.
Several times Sung Han rubbed him with wide, sparkling eyes. Like a child amazed to see a new toy. Such a deep and great wound, inflicted by an heirloom sword, could heal and even disappear its marks in a very short time! Either the great healer or Sung Hwa is too powerful.
Sung Han repeatedly forces Sung Hwa to unlock his secret to heal his wounds so quickly. However this only made the woman angry and hit Sung Han's head violently. The husband doesn't believe what he says he's doing.
During the day, just as the sun was overhead, the Silat World King gathered in Sung Han's yard.
"Not to linger, let's go to the princess and ask for permission for this business."
"If not allowed?"
"We do it ourselves" Sung Han replied. "What's hard?"
They went to the princess building. During the trip, no one opened their voice. Once in the building, without difficulty means they can go inside. Who doesn't know the five of them.
It's not hard to find the princess. Gu Ren as the oldest, then applied to choose the leader of the Silat World King. Without being able to prevent it, Song Zhu's daughter spontaneously frowned.
"Aren't I enough to be the leader?"
"Actually .. there's a bit of a problem. If the five of us fight together without a single leader, then the cohesiveness that became the final goal of the swordsman army will never be realized" Gu Ren replied.
"I am your leader."
"However, if the princess is already sure about it. Sorry, you should not agree to form this army of warriors" said the middle-aged man. "After all, this has become the agreement of the five of us."
Princess Song Zhu sat in her chair with one of her hands massaging her forehead. Not that he disagreed, but he was worried that this leadership election was just an alibi. He was worried that the five Silat World Kings had split up and made that request to be able to attack each other.
On the other hand, he was also aware of how impossible it was to prevent. If denied the request, it does not rule out the possibility that the strange warriors will force a meeting for the leadership election.
Finally, he realized there was nothing he could change here.
"So, when are you going to make the election?" ask the princess at last.
Of course the five became excited. The princess disapproved, but also did not refuse.
"Tomorrow. On the hill near this fortress," Gu Ren replied quickly.
Sung Han quickly added. "The warriors will guard the hill so that no one will disturb."
Princess Song Zhu nodded. "Alright if that's what you want. I can't prevent. Just my hope you guys brought something good with it."

In their room, Sung Han sat on a chair while looking out the window. Enjoy a clear night sky without any stars. The cold night air let him in. Although cold, but what does it mean for a warrior like Sung Han.
"Drink, my husband," Sung Hwa put down a hot pot of tea and then poured it on one cup. Thick smoke billowed from there.
Drinking one gulp, Sung Han felt a warmth coming from his stomach. For a moment, he closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath enjoying that comfortable feeling.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked when he noticed Sung Hwa's gloomy face. Obviously, I was disturbed by something.
Sung Hwa sighed before answering her husband's question. "I'm just grieving, your age."
"Suffering because of what?" Sung Han drank another sip. "Because the five of us are going to fight each other alone?"
Sung Hwa did not reply, only his head was getting bowed.
"I told you you don't have to come if you mind."
Now, it was Sung Han who was downcast and his face was grim. "Huh .. Is it true what I said? Every time the decision I make will only bring misery. No exception to this one."
Sung Hwa looked at him pity. Again, all this was blamed on her husband. Indeed he did not intend to take control of World King Silat. It's just that they can't take it for granted. Sung Han was too selfish.
Sung Hwa touched his hand. "Here you go, it's not your fault. I'm sure your decision is not just to speak. It's all for our good."
Sung Han sighed again. "On Khuang Peng–"
"It has. Don't talk about this anymore. Spend and get to sleep."
...****************...
The next morning, as already discussed with the princess, they gathered on a hill near the fort. More precisely on the hill that used to be a place to divide the warrior army.
Early in the morning, before sunrise, the warriors had gathered at the foot of the hill. They were ready with their respective weapons, as if they were really about to go to war.
They immediately rose up and menjura when from afar there was already a shadow of five people who walked with a gallant attitude. Behind him, there were dozens of elite warriors even the princess herself.
The warriors were shocked when they realized the soldiers were taking part. But they did not mind it as long as the five Silat World Kings did not care.
Arriving at the foot of the hill, Gu Ren climbed onto the large rock and exclaimed with deep exertion.
"Everything, spread across the hill and guard this place with a life bet. Don't let anyone ride!"
They called out simultaneously to the order. Then there were many shadows when hundreds of these warriors went to their respective places.
A while later, the World King Silat turned around and charged towards the princess.
"Paduka, we go first," Gu Ren represented the others.
The princess only replied with a nod.
Without lingering any longer, they immediately darted up the hill. Because now there will be a silat match, of course there will be a winner. That's why starting from the journey to climb, as if they have been racing. Follow each other with his cries. The most striking ones were of course Sung Han and Gu Ren.
Up above, in one jump they had formed a huge circle. Face each other.
"Just go ahead, what's the rule?" exclaim Gu Ren.
"Can't use poison!" Nie Chi.
"Can't kill." Khuang Peng.
"One more thing, can't help each other!" Gu Ren added as he glanced at Sung Han and Sung Hwa. "Or will be considered a cowardly dog."
Sung Hwa's face flushed. "You!"
"Can't be a crack!" sahut Sung Han quickly countered Gu Ren's taunts while glancing at the three others. "You don't deserve to be part of this fight."
Silence welcomed Sung Han's loud speech. For too long they have not met a match in silat science, so this meeting in addition to tense is also a little interesting. Indeed, the warriors really like to complain about the science of silat.
They are silent, they are vigilant. They were silent, without taking out the guns. They were silent, no one attacked first. Because for high-level warriors, it has become basic knowledge who moves it will open a gap.
I don't know who will open the attack first.
