The day before the war...
Eclipse society is a group based in the city of Roses, they have stood for a long time, but only showed their strength after moving silent for so long, maybe they are tired to keep silent.
Wei Huan who put his eyes on every place where the Rose City got reports of strange movements from several small groups, every night there was always a group that moved towards the carbide village, the westernmost village of the city of Mawar, directly adjacent to the city of Lotus.
Despite guessing the opponent's strength, he had not expected the report he got would make him even more doubtful. According to reports the entire city of Roses was already in the hands of the opponent, at least the power there was the greatest power after the Capital.
Wei Huan racked his brain, he did not want to act rashly, he asked the opinion of the sect representative as well as the family who supported him.
"The eclipse group has begun to intensively prepare, what do you think?" Wei Huan looked at the representatives one by one.
The few people there looked at each other, they then turned their heads towards the white-robed old man.
"Ehem.." The white-robed old man stood up from his seat, he slowly walked into the middle of the meeting hall.
"Your majesty, brothers and sisters all... If according to the eye report that Yang began to mention we should immediately act, if just stay still and wait until they attack it will be very late,"
"If waging war in the middle of the Capital, it would greatly benefit the opponents, besides they also had the support of several sects as well as noble families, they excelled in the number of troops...,"
"But if we move and block in the village of green coral, our side will benefit, there is a concrete wall that is very difficult to destroy, he said, even though its height is only about five meters it can slow down the movement of the enemy, also we can attack them from above the fortress."
The White-robed old man who was the Patriarch of the holy sword sect turned to everyone, wanting to get an answer to his thoughts.
"I agree with Patriarch Ban's thought, although the opposing forces will be able to break through the fortress, their numbers have already been greatly reduced... What do you think?" Wei Huan again asked a question, he needed another suggestion, if anyone was willing to add.
"What Patriarch Ban said, is very reasonable, but what if the opposing forces moving in front are grand master fighters even king fighters, their speed will not be easily handled by our troops, he said, given our strength it might be only one-third the opponent's strength." Big master Li stood up and said what became his mind.
"I don't think they would act foolishly by placing a grand master fighter in the front row, they would naturally store the strength for the fight within the Capital, he said, it is impossible to sacrifice a grand master fighter to open a path."
"We'd better get moving, nobody knows when the opponent is moving, we have to be one step ahead of the opponent. Before they move we should already be in the village of green coral."
One by one making a sound, Wei Huan continued to scrutinize input for input, he did not want to take this matter lightly.
"All right! Now also we will move, prepare your army and your people, gather in the city park, and set out with a large army, all the while we show them our resistance!" Wei Huan stood up with his hand holding the sword, die shouted with a tone full of vigor.
Silence crept through the entire meeting hall, but not for long, they excitedly followed what Wei Huan was doing, standing with a towering sword.
"Life Your Majesty!" Everyone exclaimed loudly, as if they were beating the drums of war.
The meeting went short, as they all had one thought, fighting to the very last of blood.
If the enemy can be stopped outside the capital, victory can still be achieved. But if it had broken through into the territory of the Lotus City it would be very difficult to stop, even more citizens would be victims.
Wei Huan led an army that numbered in the hundreds of thousands, they moved at medium speed, while moving Wei Huan along with the Patriarch of the holy sword sect, Ban Fulong continued to discuss, it was not uncommon for the two of them to ask for the opinion of the head of the family as well as the Patriarch of the other sects who moved behind the two dignitaries.
With the large army they brought, no doubt making the land of the Capital tick, the rumbling of footsteps sounded great, the citizens who did not know about the war curled up with trembling bodies, trembling, they closed the door of his residence and watched from within.
As soon as a large army passed by, they could sense a disaster was coming.
Wei Huan and his troops arrived at the green coral village at midnight, so that they immediately set up a tent, and made preparations.
The troops consisting of clan members as well as sect disciples were combing the surrounding area, all the citizens were evacuated to a nearby village, but there were also some who joined and became Imperial troops.
Wei Huan stood on top of the fortress, the metal clothes he was dressed in were seen shining through the reflection of the torch as well as the moon.
Wei Huan let out a long sigh, he recalled that his first son was also in the Rose city, he just wished his son well.
"Your Majesty,"
Wei Huan turned his head, and encountered the old man whom he had regarded as uncle, the Patriarch of the holy sword sect.
"Uncle?" Wei Huan had great respect for Ban Fulong, the old man was a close friend of his father, the previous emperor.
"Don't call me your highness if it's just the two of us, uncle." Wei Huan said with a forward look, staring at the dark border, visible specks of light that he believed was a village of carbides.
"What do you think, Huan'er?" Ban Fulong approached and stood beside Wei Huan.
"I don't understand why people always want something that's clearly not theirs. Not just the throne of the Empire, but many more, such as valuables or resources ... "
"If the Wei Empire could stand without this kind of problem, I might not part with my little family." Wei Huan's eyes had involuntarily been wet with tears, if he could turn back time, he would rather leave the emperor's seat and live with his little family.
"You ask a very difficult question, even I don't know how to answer your question" said Ban Fulong.
"But that's how the world works, power and power are the basis of thought, even if you're not an emperor, you'll still experience this kind of thing, albeit in different ways ... "
"If I may say, let's just say this is a test, which will earn you a reward if you can complete it. We won't know what's going to happen, so just go for it..." Ban Fulong patted Wei Huan on the shoulder and stepped out leaving the middle-aged man alone.
"Jalanai..." Wei Huan repeated the two words he could catch from his conversation with the Patriarch of the holy sword sect.
