Reflections
Night in Xiuxi Qu Cave

"We have to be careful. Never underestimate the enemy." Jingguo Li gave his advice to the knights. The man stared at the bonfire they had set in the cave to warm up.

"I and the Great General were informed that Wangquan Yan, King Sheng Ri will also be participating in the battle this time," Constantine said. The people who heard that were immediately overwhelmed by shock.

"Empire, it must have had at least five cultivators. Not to mention, they also had a relationship with the clan of the witches. This is very dangerous" said Chen Li. The man stared at the man. He exhaled slowly while imagining what they would face later.

"We only have a Great General as a cultivator." One of the soldiers said. Everyone looked at him, then nodded. Although a trace of doubt does exist in their conscience, it should not be a reason for them to stop fighting for their homeland and loved ones.

"I will face Wangquan Yan and eliminate him to nothing." The Great General clenched his hands with fiery eyes. The knights, of course, believed in the abilities of a Jingguo Li. His prowess on the battlefield, could not be doubted.

"I will face the witches" Constantine Yang said with a burning spirit. Despite the doubt, the knights were still encouraging him. They know, it's not easy to face a witch.

"We all hope for success for the Anming Kingdom. And so, SPIRIT!" ma Zhengyi. The man, then took a sip of the excellent quality wine he brought from home. Gradually, his eyes began to redden, a sign that he was beginning to lose consciousness. Reach it, even his behavior became unbecoming. It has been an entertainment for the knights all night.

"Has the fallen soldier been buried properly?" ask Constantine, suddenly. This time, there was a void and regret that was clearly implied in his gaze and tone of speech.

"It has. We buried them near the river. I think this beautiful place could be a suitable final resting place for the warriors of the tribe of H—ya, although it is not as good as when they are buried in their dwellings." Xingxing Tang looked sad. Apparently, of the seven fallen knights, four of them, were under his command.

"We can get through this" Constantine said. The woman patted Xingxing Tang on the shoulder with a faint smile on her face. "The leader mustn't act so pathetically like this" he whispered.

General Two nodded, then took Ma Zhengyi's wine to drink. He decided to get drunk with the man. The people who saw it shook their heads.

"Leave it. Drunkenness can't solve the problem; but if it can make him feel his burden lifted, what can we do? We can't even understand how he feels" Shi Jian said. He looked at General Two who was like his brother.

"I want to name this cave by the name of Xiuxi Qu— Cavebecause here, we can rest," said Constantine Yang. Chen Li who heard that also snorted.

"In fact, getting in here also requires a struggle," said General Four.

"At least this place is safe" Constantine argued. The girl looked at Chen Li sharply. After all, he does not provide a problem without providing a solution. Honey, he had to trouble others for the job. Because his identity as a cultivator was still kept secret, he asked Jingguo Li to help him hold the waterfall so as not to go down, so that the knights could rush into the cave.

"I've lost a lot of energy and want to cultivate. I can feel the abundant qi energy in this cave. It can help me to rise to the next level" said Jingguo Li. The knights who heard that also supported him and hoped that their talented Great General, could be stronger to increase their chances of conquering the enemy on the battlefield later.

"I'll come along" Constantine said, suddenly. The girl looked enthusiastic.

"General, isn't it dangerous for ordinary humans to be near a cultivator in the process of ascending to the next level?" han asked, with a panicked face.

"The Great General will protect us. He can make a special shield so that his energy that explodes later does not hurt us, even me who is nearby. After all ..., there are important things that we both have to discuss," said Contantine. He highlighted Ma Zhengyi and Xingxing Tang with Chen Li who ended up getting drunk as well. He also snorted. "Hope General Jian be willing to keep these three drunk generals" he said, cynically. Others chuckled at that.

Tonight, the cave named Xiuxi Qu bears witness to how the formidable knights would spend the night before the great war. Pun with two great cultivators who wanted to increase his cultivation realm there.

Can everything go according to what they expect?
