A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 267 – Peak
"They've started attacking!"
Nie Chi, who was the leader of the guard at the top of the river, immediately left his seat and climbed up the high rocks. From up here, almost all the places in the distance were clearly visible, as well as the ranks that from afar looked like a bunch of ants moving house.
"Brother, what should we do?" a subordinate also saw. "Our forces are not enough to fight directly against them.
"According to the map, this stream should turn far east, away from the army camp, right?" Nie Chi made sure.
"True," replied the subordinate while looking back. "Water has accumulated too much, if allowed to continue to be chaotic."
A sneer appeared in Nie Chi's mouth. "Heh, like you don't know. Do the next plan right when I give the order!"
The man immediately jumped down and informed his comrades. They become excited, then quickly prepare themselves in the places that have been provided.
Water is blocked in the upper part. Not only dammed, even during these few days, the army of warriors secretly carried out excavations to make some kind of artificial lake. Its form was disheveled, yet it was more than enough to make a sudden attack.
This artificial dam has been planned since the beginning. Of course it would be useless if it just dammed the river without doing anything with it. So Sung Han proposed to make an artificial lake on top.
The Jeiji people moved closer to the location of the artificial lake. They cheered when they found out from the top of the river barrier stone, standing someone who was none other than Nie Chi. But they could immediately surmise that the man standing with his arms crossed was no ordinary person.
Hoko Ryo who was the leader of this army, who was looking from afar, quietly frowned. Although in a state of being squeezed, but he does not want to let himself despair to do things that make no sense. Same with this now.
Seeing Nie Chi standing up there, his anger overflowed as he felt ridiculed. But Ryo tried to remain calm, thinking about what was able to make the person so arrogant that he dared to wait for his army on the big rock.
He observed more closely, if the stone that was treaded by Nie Chi was extending to the right-left, covering the river that only drained a little water. He was already about to let go of his anger when he remembered an ancient fairy tale about the samurai's war tactics.
Where at the time he was young, there was once a fairy tale whether real or not, which said there was one general using a tactic to drown opponents. By damming the flow of a large river and then spilling it to the opponent when the situation is desperate.
Given this, Ryo's face paled. As soon as he looked ahead, the front row was very close to the pile of river-blocking stones!
"Retreat! Back off! It's trap!" he cried out in vain. Because those people who had been engulfed in anger without a care again started to climb the barrier stone.
From inside, there was a slow sound of booms. The barrier stone began to shake even stronger.
People can guess that this is certainly the work of the magicians who hit the stone. But they don't care. Jeiji's men continued to climb.
Until when the stone that was stepped on by Nie Chi was rolled, followed by the stone under and under again, then they realized.
The flood came like a roll of ocean waves, a deafening rushing sound was heard when the water wave hit the rock walls on the right and left of the river. Make the wall shake and drop a few stones.
They all panicked. Looking for a refuge. But what power, their position is quite squeezed with trees and cliffs on the right and left. Even if there is a higher place, it is not enough to accommodate more than five people.
But because the dam was made hastily and in a short time, so it does not store enough water. As soon as the rock fell, only the first half minute was terrible, the rest of the water began to recede even though it was still very heavy. The river's water flow recovered even with above-average altitude.
"Wake up, get the guns ready!" ryo's order that was hiding under a fallen tree. His clothes were already drenched in moisture when he appeared and his sword cracked slightly at the end. Probably hit something.
But his face displayed a great horror when his army of no more than a hundred was able to rise with a sword in hand. The rest are still dragged by the current or pitting under the pierihan fallen trees.
As soon as this group of people appeared, they violently went berserk. Bulldoze all the Jeiji people who look indiscriminately. Even the dead were stabbed again to make sure they were dead.
Moreover, the young man with a stick, as soon as his body floated, with a flick of his iron stick that four people slammed with a cracked head.
Ryo became angry, then recklessly he lunged forward with a sword stab.
"Yes!"
"Trangs!"
Nie Chi's wand grabbed and made the katana sword flip, almost detached from the holder. Not stopping there, Nie Chi continued the attack with a stick to the heart, then followed by a sweep to the knee of the foot.
"Wut-wuutt!"
Ryo started to get pushed. Even though the two attacks can be repelled, but still his hand feels pain and heat. Start playing backwards and screaming for help. But the longer that little battle lasted, the more it appeared who was stronger.
Jeiji's forces have been defeated, both by strategy, number, and spirit. So that for a moment the flow of the river that is larger than usual is filled with lifeless bodies that change the color of the water to dark red.

Sung Han was only able to smile obliquely. Beside him, Gu Ren sat in an emperor-like manner, chest puffed up and glancing at his interlocutor.
"Even his head does not need to intervene directly," Gu Ren chirped broke the silence.
General Khu and his officers clenched their hands with red faces. It was a really amazing slap for them. How humiliating!
Those who were soldiers, who considered that their war science and tactics were already great, lost to the stratagem of a warrior boy! How shameful.
Especially considering their welcome that was filled with disparaging remarks and gazes. It's just not worth it.
"They're over" Sung Han said. "Really, right?" he asked Nie Chi for certainty.
The young man nodded. "should have. Even their leader's ronin had perished."
"Hahaha, great. Now let them open their eyes that warriors are not just rioters" Gu Ren exclaimed. Then rise and fall. "Then, our duty here should be up."
Sung Han and the others stood up as well, then turned. "We're leaving" Sung Han said briefly.
Without waiting for an answer, the five second-generation Silat World Kings left the room and approached their troops to prepare for their next task.
