A soldier in his armor who had just arrived at Nobuhide's palace was seen facing Zhou in an open room practicing archery. Because Zhou was currently honing his archery skills back.
"Commander Zhou, I came to report something. I just got a tip that the Mitzuhiro clan is doing some illegal business. They traded women and underage slaves to other territories. And those who are being sold are the victims of kidnappings carried out by his men. While the families of the victims had them eradicated without a remnant."
A Zhou confidante soldier turned to Zhou and reported on a newly obtained piece of information, an important piece of information that Zhou needed for the reason of the attack.
"Dirty and cruel ways will not make a region prosperous. And a life of peace will never come true. All his people will always live with worry and anxiety. They will not save peace of heart. Prepare yourself and the soldiers! We will immediately attack at once for the Mitzuhiro region and the Genda region the day after tomorrow. Emperor Yoshinao Nobuhide has also given us his permission."
Said Zhou in a relaxed tone but always looked firm and charismatic. He also launched his arrows and darted quickly on a target board perfectly.
"Well, Commander Zhou." said the soldier obediently and immediately resigned himself back to do his next task.
A few more steps! A few more steps I'll reach you, Zeus! Once your roots are exhausted, you will have no supporters and allies on your side anymore. That's when I'll see you. Face me then with a man! Because I will no longer hold myself back from destroying you!! Zeus!! You will receive all the rewards of what you have done!!
Inner Zhou with a squeaking look stared at the target board. But suddenly his gaze began to turn to look at the side of the forest sharply. There Zhou sensed something strange, and he felt a movement within the tall trees.
It is located outside Nobubide palace and is bordered by a high fence of the palace. But the trees in the forest were still visible from within the palace as it towered high.
Zhou also caught the figure of Lily who was holding Helios not far from where she was. But suddenly an arrow shot from the forest and led to Lily who was holding Helios.
SRTRC ...
KRAKK ...
Zhou quickly launched his arrow towards the opponent's arrow and managed to split it into 2 pieces. So that right when the arrow is only a few meters away from Lily, the arrow is split into 2 parts and passes Lily through each side of Lily's body.
Lily who witnessed all this of course felt shocked and surprised instead of playing, because someone had just targeted her and intended to harm her. If there had been no Zhou back then, maybe Lily would have been really hurt by now.
"My wife, you return to the pavilion with our son. Soldiers will take care of you. And don't go anywhere before I get back. I'll catch him and catch him first!" zhou said.
Lily nodded slowly with a face that still looked shocked. Zhou soon left his wife and son.
Zhou easily climbed a tree. Twig after twig was used to swing his body until he could pass through the guardrail and he managed to reach the forest by jumping and landing in the forest.
He closed his pair of eyes to focus his sense of hearing. It didn't take long, Zhou had already discovered the existence of that figure. Zhou immediately ran according to his instinct through the slightly sloping forest path and was filled with the trees.
Until finally his steps stopped right on the edge of a river. But the atmosphere was so silent, there was no hint, sound, or any sign.
With eyes closed, Zhou began to prepare to release his arrows and point at a point. In one of the trees that is not too high.
SWUSHHN ...
NEB ...
RHODOL ...
His instincts are truly incredible! The arrow shot quickly and hit the chest of a man and made him fall from the top of a tree just like that. Zhou approached the figure before he managed to escape again.
"Who are you? And why would you want to harm Lily?!" asked Zhou who had now grabbed the man by the neck and lifted him into the air.
"I-I .." said the man, having trouble with a body that looked like a hot worm, as he tried to remove the strangulation from Zhou.
"Reply answer or I will break your veins right now!!" zhou's chest squeezed the man's neck more firmly and lifted him up, making the man even more difficult to breathe.
"Kkekk .. sam-pai mat-ttiipun ak-ku will not ignore him pad-damuuu ..." he said kekeh even though he could not at least loosen the attack from Zhou, he said, while on his chest was already seeping fresh blood due to the wound from Zhou's arrow.
Zhou clutched the man's neck more and more, making him have trouble breathing.
"Lep-passs .. akk-kkkuu diurr-ruhh Ze-uussss .. kkeekkk .." he said at last
But instead of letting go, Zhou grew even more seething and filled with anger. Zhou, who was filled with a burning anger because it had concerned his wife and son, was now squeezing and clutching the man's neck.
Until the splash of fresh blood began to look splashed and wet the neck and the man's ninja clothes. Even Zhou's facial clothes and armor were also exposed to that splash of fresh blood.
"Go back to where you came from! Fosom ..." Zhku threw the man's body so strong that he was immediately thrown in front of Zeus who was there. And of course it made Zeus surprised instead of playing.
Along the way Zhou returned to Nobuhide's palace, he still thought about Zeus' actions this time.
Why did Zeus want to harm Lily and my son? Does he know anything about me? Does he know I'm alive? Or was it not possible that the attack of the Spartan clan at that time was also due to the actions of Zeus? Unfortunately I didn't have any leads!
Inner Zhou while climbing the very high and sturdy guardrail with ease. Until he returned to Nobuhide's palace back and immediately rushed to meet his wife and son.
