The God of War
Decision Making and the Beginning of War
The emperor was silent at the thought of Ranmaru's words. His two eyebrows were now furrowed close to each other. And he also rubbed his white beard which was getting longer and longer.
"At least we have to meet the stealth waiting for the Benzaiten haunted sea cliffs to beg for ampuna for the Star God." murmured Ranmaru hesitantly.
"Benzaiten?" murmured Zhou with a frown.
"Actually Benzaiten is one of the goddesses in the Seven Gods of Fortune. But that time ... a thousand years ago, accidentally Star God even destroyed his descendants because he considered it as a white snake demon that made havoc in the world." ranmaru said back to the story and tried to remember the story.
"Benzaiten is known as Shichi Fukujin of Japanese Shintoism. Benzaiten is a goddess crowned with a white snake that plays biwa (a Japanese lute-like instrument) to represent his art mastery. To make dragons and serpents as messengers as his army. Benzaiten can also turn into a white snake. She was so revered as the goddess of fertility and abundance of rivers, the queen of snakes, the guardian of gems, the grantor of sacred requests, the patron of the arts, and the defender of Japan. His power over dragons and snakes is extraordinary. He is also called to end droughts and floods in order to provide a bountiful harvest for those who respect him" Ranmaru said
"However since a thousand years ago, after he cursed the Star God, he locked himself in the haunted sea cliffs located in the southern region. He considers all humans to be evil and ungrateful. Even he no longer helps the humans who always adore him." added Ranmaru.
"If only Benzaiten could undo the curse and forgive the Star God. It was possible that all the chaos in this world would be resolved. The immortal body of the emperor Zeus and the heirloom of kirasodo will be defeated." murmured Ranmaru looked very doubtful.
"If it's like that, then I'll go to Benzaiten's haunted sea cliffs to meet Benzaiten! I will also go to the bottom of the sea of death and pass through the portal of the world of darkness to meet the soul core of the Star God, the place where he was sealed beforehand to destroy the kirasodo heirloom." zhou said without any hesitation.
"First prince Hades, but this is very dangerous. Benzaiten hates humans. And to make him lift the curse and forgive the Star God, it was not easy. Passing through the portal of the world of darkness was also quite a danger. The swirl of currents at the bottom of the sea of death was powerful and enormous." the emperor murmured hesitantly to approve of Zhou.
"There is no other choice, Your Majesty. If we don't do all this, the world will be completely destroyed and destroyed by Zeus and kirasodo. Please allow me to leave, Your Majesty the Emperor!" zhou said expectantly.
The emperor was silent for a moment and seemed hesitant to make a decision. But in the end he allowed Zhou to leave even with a heavy heart.
"alright. Take some troops with you, first Prince of Hades" said the emperor with a heavy heart.
"Okay, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
...⚜⚜⚜...
Zeus had already started attacking for the Imbe clan and the Ashika clan at once. Yaoyao and Daimyo Nobunaga led the palace warriors and several clans to help the Imbe and Ashika clans.
Thousands of soldiers led by Zeus seemed balanced against thousands of soldiers under the leadership of Daimyo Nobunaga and Yaoyao. But suddenly Yaoyao gets an emergency message from a soldier that requires her to leave the battlefield immediately.
...⚜⚜⚜...
Meanwhile elsewhere, Han warriors had already managed to free Nouhime and the previous emperor Fumio. The Han soldiers attempted to take them away from Fumio's palace on a carriage ride. Their movements were known to the warrior Zeus. And they're in the field near the border town of Imbe.
"Traitor!! Where were you taking Empress Nouhime and emperor Fumio before?!!" a soldier who had brought a katana stood firmly looking at the Han soldier who was currently a coachman carrying the carriage.
Behind him were about 100 people. The Han soldiers turned around to deliver something to Nouhime before fighting against the soldier.
Nouhime who was still sitting beside Zhou father only nodded weakly. He was helpless, even Saika and Kenshin were still in Fumio's palace, because Nouhime had no time to take them away together leaving Fumio's palace which had become like hell since Zhou's departure.
"Groan!!!" exclaims Fumio's warriors begin to attack Han warriors.
Actually Han warriors were quite skilled and proficient in martial arts. But the number of opponents that are very incomparable makes him exhausted if he has to face opponents who alternately come to attack him.
The Han soldier lost his katana and he fell on the ground with some injuries to his body. A Fumio soldier quickly slid his sharp katana and was about to hit the left eye of the Han warrior.
But suddenly a dark reddish-colored spear with a dragon carving symbol on the end shot to destroy the katana of the soldier until it became 2 parts.
SRTRC ...
TRANG ...
The owner of the fire dragon spear jumped high from the horse he was riding. He saltoed several times in the air and managed to take his fire dragon spear back.
The young man who was none other than Yaoyao darted quickly while swinging the fire dragon spear like a beautiful yet very deadly dance.
Private Han did not want to miss this, he immediately took one of the swords belonging to the Fumio warrior and helped Yaoyao. Yet Yaoyao immediately gave a decree for him.
"Han soldiers, protect Empress Nouhime and previous emperor Fumio! I'll get them done as soon as possible!"
"Alright, Senior Yaoyao!" soldier Yaoyao greeted obediently.
It didn't take long, Yaoyao had already managed to defeat all of them. In the end, Yaoyao decided to take them first to Nobuhide Empire, a place she considered safe.
Because it would be very dangerous if only relying on Han soldiers to deliver it. He planned to immediately return to the battlefield and help Daimyo Nobunaga as well as the other soldiers after delivering them to Nobuhide empire.
Han soldiers became horse chariots, while Yaoyao was in a chariot with Noahime and Zhou's father. They began to continue their journey.
Seeing that Zhou's father was still lying in the carriage, Yaoyao confirmed several things, such as breathing and pulse. A breath of relief Yaoyao did when she realized that Zhou's father was still alive in a fairly good condition.
But Nouhime who already looked very pale suddenly his body staggered and almost fell. He was still conscious but his body felt so heavy and weak.
"Empress Nouhime, are you okay?" Yaoyao quickly grabbed onto Noahime's body and held him back.
There was no answer, Nouhime just looked down helplessly. His pale face was now broken with warm tears.
