The God of War
Yaoyao's Concerns
Zhou and the soldiers continued on. But they decided to rest first tonight in a small village not too far from the golden peach valley.
A citizen was kind and willing to give them a place to rest. They rested and some of them also received treatment and treatment by the court physician who also joined them and the village healer.
Because some of the soldiers also suffered injuries caused by the fire lions' attacks.
Tonight Zhou decided to rest, resting his brain and body for a moment after enjoying a few simple banquets from the villagers.
But it looks 2 soldiers who are talking in a room while enjoying the wine which is also served by the owner of the house.
"I don't think Commander Zhou is just anyone! He could conquer Igrukingu, he could also make Seiryu acknowledge himself. And Suzaku also easily appeared to him so that all the books we were looking for could be easily obtained by the Zhou commander." muttered one of them while gulping down his wine using a small glass.
"You're right! I have felt something like that for a long time. Commander Zhou was even very talented. It was even the emperor Yoshinao Nobuhide who ordered the soldiers to pick up the Zhou commander in the village. He was not even too long when he became an ordinary soldier, because after that the emperor Yoshinao Nobuhide appointed him as a warlord after the previous warlord died in a war." said another soldier.
"The talent he has is incredible! Emperor Yoshinao really liked it. When the palace competition was held to commemorate the emperor's birthday, the Zhou commander was already very prominent."
BRAKK ...
The conversation between the two of them suddenly came to a halt when someone placed his glass on the table loudly.
"You should get some rest! Tomorrow after dawn we'll be back on our way! You guys should keep up your stamina well!" a young man firmly.
"Se-senior Yaoyao .. fine. We understand." said the two soldiers stammered and immediately decided to stop drinking wine and rushed to go to rest.
Yaoyao looked at their departure and immediately decided to take a break. But apparently he too he was still thinking about everything that felt stuck about Zhou.
What if he is the true prince of Hades? It really doesn't matter if he's the commander of Zhou or the prince of Hades. As long as he was still in the same stronghold, it should not all harm Nobuhide. But what I'm worried about is, is he able to face the emperor Zeus who is his own brother? What if the Zhou commander betrayed Nobuhide and was instead on the side of the emperor Zeus? If it were like that, the world would be completely destroyed. Because the book of life and the book of inheritance and all the power is on him. Or... Do I have to take over the books? But ... how?
Inner Yaoyao began to fret, until she finally left her room again to head to Zhou room.
He stepped his feet very carefully so as not to wake the other soldiers who were resting at this moment on the mat he was passing through.
KRIET ...
The old wooden door creaked slowly as Yaoyao opened Zhou's room. Zhou was already lying on that simple wooden couch. His face looked so calm and reassuring to anyone who looked at him.
Yaoyao began to look hesitant to do what she had thought before. Doubts and suspicions towards Zhou slowly began to fade as he stared at the calm and reassuring face.
Commander Zhou can't be a traitor! He even always protected and sacrificed a lot for Nobuhide. Aye! He would not have betrayed! But if he betrays me, then I will be the first to punish him with my fire dragon spear! How much devotion you have been, yet I will always protect Nobuhide's empire by risking my life!
Inner Yaoyao decided to retreat and left Zhou's room, then closed the door tightly.
I will never betray Nobuhide, Yaoyao. I will do my duty as a warlord well. Only after that, maybe I'll leave you all.
His mind seemed to be able to read Yaoyao's mind before.
...⚜⚜⚜...
The next day, Zhou and the soldiers began to say goodbye to leaving the place. They travel on foot. Until after they were away from the settlement, Zhou began to call Igorukingu using his flute as usual.
The soldiers are more used to all of this. And they also began to enjoy flying with Igrukingu. Enjoy the beauty of the panorama they go through. White clouds that seemed to be very close, the beauty of the ocean and the plants below that look like an artful painting.
Even this time they felt dissatisfied to enjoy all that, because in just an instant they had arrived in Nobuhide territory.
Their arrival was warmly welcomed by Nobuhide's palace family. They were delighted that Zhou and the other soldiers were finally able to return soon after more than a month of leaving the palace.
Some of the soldiers brought some crates and lifted them into the palace medical room, as they all learned that Zhou had left the palace to look for medicinal herbs.
All the soldiers immediately returned to meet their families. Except for Zhou and Yaoyao who had to meet emperor Yoshinao Nobuhide and prince Toshie in the main hall.
This made Luoyi, who had seen them arrive at the palace from the start, become even more suspicious. But as Luoyi tried to follow them, he was held back by some of the palace soldiers right in front of the main hall of the palace.
"Sorry, you can't enter Luoyi! The emperor was trying to talk to the commander of Zhou!" the soldier's toilet warned Luoyi.
Luoyi hardened his jaw and looked at the soldier irritatedly, then left the place.

Yaoyao's visual bonus and a little story from Yaoyao.
Yaoyao was discovered by the daimyo of Nobunaga after the war that took place between the enemy clan and the Nobuhide clan. Yaoyao lost her entire family to the massacre that took place in her village, which was still within the Nobuhide clan. At that time he was 15 years old. And the last relic from his father was a fire dragon spear weapon.
Daimyo Nobunaga brings the teenage Yaoyao to the palace with himself and the warrior. Until finally emperor Yoshinao Nobuhide allowed Yaoyao to accommodate Yaoyao in the palace and train and make her a soldier.
Moreover, Yaoyao was also quite proficient and talented in silat and martial arts, even though her age back then was quite young. He is also a genius.
As time went on his abilities increased, until he surpassed several other soldiers and he became a senior soldier since he was 20 years old.
