The Great Princess of the Warlord
chapter 81

xia Tian had already reached halfway from the distance he should have traveled if he wanted to get to Goryeo. But his physique seemed not to let him quickly to be able to get to his goal. The age factor made Xia Tian so slow to be able to get to the end of the rift that connected Xili and Goryeo.

" Huft... huft... Why am I so weak? If I continue like this, the people of the village and my nephew's army will be devastated. I have to get to Goryeo. Ya must hurry up. "choked Xia Tian to encourage herself.

Although already very tired, but the spirit of this old man is still not inferior to the spirit of young people. For the sake of his village, his family, and most importantly for the sake of something that his foster brother had been guarding all this time, Gong Sheng was his nephew.

Several times fell, several times rested, even so Xia Tian still struggled to his weakest point in order to be able to meet the only person who could save them all.

Being inside the crack of the hill made Xia Tian not know how long he had been there. All he could feel was that his legs were starting to get weak and limped from being too tired. But he felt that the place he was heading to was near, hence he was determined not to linger in there anymore.

" I hope you all can survive until I come with help" Xia Tian said staring straight back. In the direction of the village where he grew up for forty-five years.

" sister... You have an amazing son. He is similar to you and him. You both will not give up and be willing to die to keep what you think is important. Thank you for giving birth to such an amazing man sis. "monologist Xia Tian inwardly. His overly tired physique made him hallucinate, as if he was trapped in the conscious and was not.

Sunlight entered the window so that it highlighted the face of an old man who was lying still unconscious. It seemed, because fatigue made the old man sleep too soundly. A man whose age seemed to be older than the man lying down was seen entering the forging room of the man he knew was resting.

" Now not awake?" ask the man to his man.

" Not His Majesty." replied the man's men.

In his subconscious, Xia Tian heard someone calling with a noble name, he immediately tried to wake up. When he managed to open his eyes, he was a little surprised because the place where he woke up was not a dark cave. His eyes were staring around, startled by the figure he really wanted to meet at this moment. But awareness is still not full makes him think that he is fantasizing.

" Is this just my delusion? Why do I see a foster brother here?" he mumbled asking himself.

" You're sober?" ask the figure he was imagining earlier.

" Sister, is that you? " Xia Tian immediately got up to his feet and saluted.

" Sit down, I know you're exhausted. But why are you in the gap? If only the guards there did not enter, then you would not be aware of my place" said Kik Yozu.

" I should therefore be grateful for waking up in your place" Xia Tian said excitedly.

The two were engaged in serious talks but still not at the core of what Xia Tian had come to Goryeo. The two were busy telling their problems until Xia Tian started discussing about the village and ended up thinking about his goal.

" Why did I forget? Damn it. "his sigh is frustrated.

" What's up? " ask Kim Yozu confused

Degh's... Degh's...

Kon Yozu's jaw hardened, her hands clenched tightly. The limit goes up and down indicating that he is in an emotional state. His nephew, the future successor to the Goryeo throne, could be played by the Xili people.

" How is he doing now? " ask Kim Yozu who can no longer cover up her worries.

" He's improved, but still can't fight. We don't have much time, many lives will be at stake here. Gong Sheng's army was only one third of his own. They won't last long. " Xia Tian urged. Stupidly he even told me something unimportant and forgot about his goal to Goryeo.

" Wait a minute, my troops will not be able to come in time if the village is attacked. We have to think of other ways to not be late. " Kim Yozu seemed to be thinking seriously about this matter.

The distance between Goryeo and Xili if it crossed the border, took about six to the body days from Kim Yozu's current position. If it passed through the gap that led directly to the village, their troops would take at most two days but the terrain within the gap would obviously drain all of their forces.

" We must go to the village on the hill. We can get there in half a day, that way they can definitely go straight down to help the village. "after a long time of thinking finally Kim Yozu got an idea that can not be called the best.

" Wouldn't the hill village with Xili or Goryeo not get along. Can we convince them to help? " Xia Tian is in doubt.

" should.... We have no choice right now.

___________________________________________________

The villagers and Gong Sheng's troops were preparing at their respective places. The army of the 4th prince and the crown prince has arrived. Less than one hundred meters away then the opposing forces will reach the village. Everything in the village for women and children, ran into the crevice to hide. The hidden place makes not many people know about the gap of the hill that can bring to Goryeo.

If the women and children are hiding, then another with the men. They prepare to defend, to protect their families and villages. They are determined, if they die then they die to be able to defend the village and its people.

" You must be sure that we will win. "gong Sheng's voice echoed in the village. The voice that the Ri Yue troops always heard every time they fought.

" Remember that our families are waiting for us to bring peace to them. Let's fight...... "

The voices of the Ri Yue troops and the villagers called out Gong Sheng's name as their leader. Gong Sheng stared flatly at the direction the opposing forces were about to arrive. Luckily the opposing troops groaned during the day so they did not need to experience fatigue due to the chaotic night.

Gong Sheng was able to see one by one the opposing troops approaching the village. Gong Sheng's eyes were closed, calling out the name of the war god, praying that he could valiantly lead an army against the bad guys...

" For Xili...... "
