" The training is over! Tomorrow you don't need any more practice. Maybe tomorrow night the war will really start. For now, go back to your room" said emperor Long.
Xiao An went to his room. He rested for a moment, then he called out to the wolf to talk to him.
" Wolf? You hear me?", Xiao An said.
" Yes, of course, sir. What's the matter?", asked wolf.
" What is war like? I've heard the story, but never once thought I'd go to war. Even I will be their leader. Is that creepy?", asked Xiao An. He was at a loss to cope with his current thoughts that were so complicated.
" War is scary enough if the enemy's power is much greater than the power we have. It would be very creepy and sad if each other suspected and forgot the cooperation of the group. But don't worry! We only have to exert all the abilities we have, not solely to win, but to maintain self-esteem. But besides, even though we are weaker and outnumbered, it would be better if we had strategists. Because with that, we can turn things around and get the win" explained wolf.
" You seem to know a lot about it" Xiao An said.
" Of course, my age can guarantee it" said wolf.
" Tomorrow they will have a meeting", he continued.
" Meetings? For what?", asked Xiao An.
" To talk about the plan and arrange things like where you're going to be put and whatnot" said Wolf.
" But they haven't told me" Xiao An said confusedly.
" Just wait, they'll come later" said wolf.
After that, Xiao An went back to rest. Only 1 hour later Xiao An fell asleep, the noise woke him up again.
" What is this really about?", Xiao An exasperatedly said. Then he went out to make sure.
Xiao An couldn't believe what he was seeing right now. So many corpses were scattered before his eyes and some people were busy fighting everywhere. The origin of the noise turned out to be from the weapons and styles that collided. There he also saw a very familiar figure fighting with several people. Who else if not Ao Tian and Xu Kai. They were fighting against people dressed in black with numbers that were many times over them. Those people continued to arrive inexhaustibly like water that kept flowing to a low place.
" Fuck!!!", cried Xiao An regretfully. He immediately joined the others.
" I'm sorry I'm late. Who are they?", Xiao An said as he fought.
" I don't know I don't know" replied Ao Tian.
After a while, reinforcements arrived. Dozens of Dark Rose members arrived and immediately joined. There were hundreds of people dressed in black who kept coming. As Dark Rose had arrived, the enemies continued to drastically decrease. And they told the others to retreat and move away from the fight including Xiao An and the others.
Half an hour passed, and they calmed down. Dark rose had wiped out the enemy numbering in the hundreds despite only bringing about 20 of its members. Dark rose was indeed included in the elite army that Emperor Long had. They were formed since emperor Long abdicated from the dragon emperor. It happened about 20 years ago.
The people who were in the other residence one by one gathered at the scene, the place where the fight took place.
"How are people doing?"
" They're fine. The reinforcements came so quickly that they did not cause many casualties"
" There were only 5 people dead, 7 people had heavy injuries, and the others had minor injuries. And everything from the servants and guards of the residence"
Xiao An was increasingly confused by this incident. He kept frowning his forehead.
' what exactly is going on right now? Why are there so many fights everywhere? Who is behind all this?' inner Xiao An.
Someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
" It's okay, don't think too much!", said Ao Tian calming Xiao An who had been daydreaming since.
" I don't understand any of this. Actually what did they want to the point of attacking the grand emperor Long's residence?", Xiao An asked.
" I don't know, it's a little confusing. Disasters are coming everywhere. Even in the Tian Yuan continent it was the same. Is the mastermind behind all this the same person?", said Xu Kai who added to the confusion of the others.
Since then, they have not returned to their rooms. But they were suddenly gathered in the meeting room. Different types of people are gathered here solely to discuss today's events.
" Whos among you first realized there was movement and started fighting with them?", said one of the elders.
Xu KAI raised his hand then spoke,
" me! I found a strange movement from the trees like a passing shadow. Then I found the body of a waiter who was seen just killed. Therefore, I became alert and looked around. It turned out that the shadows kept popping around and before long, they began to appear before me. Then I tried to fight them even though I was alone. But someone suddenly appeared and helped me, it was Ao Tian", Xu kai explained.
" Yes, I helped him and tried to send a signal to the soldiers. They came after a while and began to fight against the enemy. After a while, I heard someone shouting and swearing. And it turned out to be Xiao An. Maybe he woke up to the noise from the sound of weapons colliding with each other" explained Ao Tian.
" Yes, I woke up and began to curse. I was surprised to see corpses strewn in front of my own room. I started to look around and found some people were fighting. After that, I joined them" Xiao An explained.
People nodded and began to understand the events back then.
" I doubt it may be because they are after you" said General Liu Shi Feng, Qin Ruo's father, staring at Xiao An. He was one of the men who had control over most of the military forces.
" How could you possibly accuse him like that?", said Ao Tian who disagreed.
" It could be, because since he's been here, there hasn't been a quiet day for Emperor Long's residence" Liu said.
Ao Tian grew even more annoyed to the point of moving his teeth and clenching his hands hard. But what about Xiao An? He looks ordinary.
" Maybe you're right. After all, the war will start soon, who will not come after me?", Xiao An said casually. No worries are as visible as before.
General Liu smiled hearing that.
" And what if you leave here?", said General Liu.
" Shut your mouth! Since when can you throw my guests out? This time, you are truly overreaching!!!" Said Ao Tian who had been holding back his emotions from the beginning, now he could not help it anymore.
" But you have nothing to do with me and my group. You will not take part in the war because maybe you will die at the start of the war" Xiao An told General Liu. His words managed to make General Liu extremely angry. His face looked extremely red restraining his anger. Indirectly Xiao An thought old man Liu was so weak that he could not survive even when the war started, he would die in the beginning.
The elder again calmed the atmosphere and talked about some things that could protect the Long emperor residence. It was only after that that the meeting was over and the people dispersed. Except for a few people belonging to the race of legends, they would remain in the room and wait for a few others who were invited to the war planning meeting because the dawn had arrived.
