The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#206. Brother's Concerns
Mata Mata Matahanadeva was wide open when reading a letter sent by Yaseka. let alone plus a letter sent by Chen Khu which was also brought by Ashimoto..he did not expect there to be a group that had a very large army and the entire members were warriors.
After stroking - elus his chin.. Mathanadeva then opened the sound.
"Master, take a short break in our kingdom before you return you Nishada." said Mathanadeva kindly.
"I'm sorry, your majesty.. "
"i was forced to reject the noble offer, because I had to quickly return to Nisahada..led directly by his highness Yaseka himself, "Ashimoto responded kindly. A moment later he saluted Mathanadeva and turned his back to leave the hall..the tip of his eyes was still trying to glance towards the man called master by Mathanadeva, who despite from his body did not emanate the aura of his strength.. but Ashimoto's instincts can still be guessed if the man's abilities are very far above him.
***
A large army of about three hundred thousand men marched towards the border between the kingdom of Nishada and the Han empire..
The three hundred thousand horsemen looked very excited following their lead who drove the horse forward. The stout horse was black with long hair neatly arranged with almost the entire body of the horse coated with a golden yellow metal.
Yaseka actually has a war chariot that is commonly used in every battlefield.. Yaseka did not use the train, of course with one reason.
Two days the cavalry had traveled unceasingly..but there was no look of tired faces from the soldiers - the soldier even though two days and two nights continued to ride nonstop.
A special spirit felt by them was when they saw their king riding together, even without general Desmar who was usually always with them.
General Desmar did not participate in the group led by Yaseka because he had to prepare supplies for the soldiers who left first.. as well as preparing an additional two hundred thousand soldiers at Yaseka's request.
Of course it is not easy to do all the preparations, not to mention the last time before Yaseka and his troops left.. General Desmar also got a mandate to find the right person to fill the power vacuum for a while.
Trauma of the rebellion made Desmar very careful to find prospective Yaseka occupants for a while.. although the candidates are the closest people to Yaseka themselves, they also come from the royal family.
When the sun was about to enter the contest, Yaseka's army finally stopped at the river that became the border of Nishada and Han empire.
"We'll rest here..!!" yaseka.
All the soldiers jumped down from the horses and tethered their horses before searching for thick grass to lie down.. some of them also salih jadi fill places - places where drinking water they bring during the trip.
there is something unusual in their journey this time, namely the absence of a special tent for the king or general..
for tonight, they will all sleep in the sky, including Yaseka himself.
The supplies they brought were also just dry bread.
As night fell, the soldiers crowded in front of the campfire along with Yaseka himself to relieve the cold..an experience that has just been felt by both Yaseka himself and his soldiers, where there is no distance separating them.. the king or warlord is in a special tent with all the equipment.

After the departure of Ashimoto.. Mathanadeva did hand the scroll he received to Maruka for an opinion.
"Mmm.. this is what noble is.. "
"after a long time reading the contents of the scroll earlier.I just realized. if it turns out. I have not been able to read the existing characters at this time." replied Maruka with a thin smile.
Mathanadeva sat on his throne patting his eel after hearing Maruka's reply, his knees feeling weak after hearing a distant answer deviated from what he expected..and Matahanadeva shook her head to see the innocent expression of the man recommended by Chen Khu.
After a long breath.. Mathanadeva then asked one of the palace officials present in the hall to read the contents of the scroll so that Maruka could listen.
"Ooh.so like that. "said Maruka mangosteen - mangosteen.
Mathanadeva could not cover up his frustration at seeing the reaction of Maruka who looked ordinary after knowing the contents of the scroll.. Chen Khu. The person he had considered as his own brother was being threatened and desperately needed help from them as soon as possible.. the distance between Gurjara and Han is very long and takes many days by horseback riding.
"Then what should we do now teacher..??! " Mathanadeva could no longer contain his frustration as Maruka was simply speechless.
"Shevi..!! prepare four hundred thousand troops right now..!! mathanadeva continued without waiting for an answer from Maruka.
"Khan..!! as commander-in-chief, I once again leave this kingdom to. and please, lest my daughter know about this. "Mathanadeva said once again.
"Who is your highness..!! " reply Shiva and Khan together.
Shiva has now been entrusted to become the commander-in-chief after showing very rapid progress during his training by Maruka.. Shiva has gained more and more confidence to lead the army, as is the case today.
"No need to rush like that, your majesty.. "Maruka arrived - suddenly open the sound.
"But teacher...!!? "
"That's it. let Shiva gather his soldiers and all his supplies today." continued Maruka slowly.
"If you prepare troops in a hurry let alone ignore supplies. it's suicide.."
"remember you will go to war instead of going on a picnic, so prepare everything as well as possible.. "
"Tomorrow morning.I wait for you all in the field.. "
"now.. I have a little business.so tomorrow I come back. You all must be ready." said Maruka.. and without waiting for a response it immediately disappeared from the room and left only white smoke in the place where it originally stood.
