Swordswoman: The Few Unrecorded Decades - Chapter 51
In the middle of the night, the moon shines brightly. General Ming Cheng, the head of the Elite Army of Ru Empire was awoken by the sudden sound of running horses. The ominous sign of attack that they had felt is happening! As the leader, General Ming Cheng takes responsibility of his soldiers life seriously. His subordinates were also in alert!
“There is an ambush!” one of his subordinates exclaimed in a low tone.
“Send a letter to the King! Tell him that the Huang Army has started mobilizing and are now advancing towards our territory. There are approximately hundred thousands of enemies. The rest, we will be fighting!” General Ming Cheng ordered and one of his messenger immediately write the letter while the rest have grabbed and unsheathed their weapons.
These soldiers are elites among the imperial army of the Ru Empire. They are revered in the whole region for they were able to keep their footing and resisted against the Huang Army which has a support of the entire Region A empires.
Soon, the Huang Army finally arrived at the location where the Ru Elite Army is stationed. General Ming Cheng together with his comrades is standing face to face few meters away from the Huang Army. His look is solemn. They have been waiting for their arrival!
“Oh? The cowards are hiding here!” one if the Huang Soldiers shouted trying to provoke the Ru Elites Army. Since the Ru Elite Army did not make their moves in the past days, the Huang Soldiers had thought that they were scared to fight against them.
There are about a hundred thousand of them deployed to totally end the existence of Ru in the Yellow River. The Huang Army is confident of their victory. Their numbers are overwhelming but in the face of General Ming Cheng, it was only average. He had been in war since he was young, naturally these numbers are just a common sight to him.
“Look at them! They can’t even speak!”
“Let’s finish the Ru Soldiers and offer their General’s head to our Huang Emperor!”
“Attack!”
The Huang Soldiers did not waste any more time and strikes at the Ru Elite Army.
The two forces clashed! Sounds of their weapons flared in the air. Amazingly, the Ru Elite Army lives up their reputation. One by one, the Huang Soldiers fell down below them. The cries of war resonated through the darkness. The Huang Soldiers started retreating while the Ru Elite Army killed each of their enemies in front of them. But after several hours of fighting, the numbers of the Ru Elites enemies are too great and even with their great fighting skills, it does not make them immune to the attacks of the Huang Soldiers.
General Ming Cheng noticed that some of his soldiers are severely injured! Soon, another abnormality unfolded right in front of his eyes. Because of the heavy fighting, he did not notice earlier but now he finally realized. The Huang soldiers wanted them out of their camp sites and led them to the Yellow River!
As the battle continues, a massive force suddenly sucked General Ming Cheng in a particular location. He could not move! He was left standing petrified on the spot! The Formation Masters are enjoying watching him secretly on the dark.
General Ming Cheng realized that there was an invisible barrier imprisoning his body! He pounded on the air trying to break free but nothing had happened. He was immobilized and captured by the Huang Soldiers using a formation cage from the Formation Masters Association.
Soon, he saw his army killed by the Huang Soldiers! His heart is beating fiercely. His enemies had resorted so low as to join hands and ask help from outsiders! They have abandoned their dignity as soldiers just so they can successfully conquer the Yellow River!
“Retreat! Retreat!” General Ming Cheng desperately shouted to his remaining soldiers to retreat and save their life but they could not hear him. Then after a minute, the general lose his consciousness. The formation he is in was designed to suffocate whoever is inside!
When the dawn breaks, the lifeless body of Ru Elite Army are scattered around. The Huang Soldiers celebrated their victory. They tied General Ming Cheng and let his unconscious body lay on the ground. Their plan is to bring the general to their emperor and execute him on their execution ground.
At the Ru Empire, King Ru Ning felt extreme anxiety. For a reason unknown to him, he had a sleepless night. A servant rushed on his room and knocked his door.
“My King, an urgent letter from the border of Yellow River!” the servant called.
“Let me see!” King Ru Ning hastily opened the paper and read it. His heart beats abnormally after reading the letter.
“Your majesty!” the servant shouted when he saw King Ru Ning almost lost his balance.
“Gather all the imperial army. Prepare to go towards the border in Yellow River.” King Ru Ning ordered and one of his advisors outside his room immediately bowed and follows his command.
“Send this letter to the Emperor of He Empire.” Kin Ru Ning said when another servant arrived on his door.
“Your majesty! A letter sent from the border entrance!” the servant announced.
“Open it.” King Ru Ning said. The servant holding the letter hesitated for a while because letters should not be opened by just a servant like him. The fellow servant who arrived before him snatched the letter in his hands with understanding of what the King ordered. He then opened the letter and quickly read its message.
“Your majesty, the border entrance letter says that the Emperor of He Empire is on his way here.” the servant respectfully said.
“Good! Prepare my horse! I will meet him.” King Ru Ning said. The servant offered their customary bow before they left the room.
King Ru Ning did not waste his time. After he changed his battle cloth, he directly went out of the palace riding his horse. On the distance, King Ru Ning saw three figures heading towards him. Two of the figures are riding their horses but the other one is riding a sword!
“The Huang Soldiers have attacked my Elite army. With their capability, my army should be able to hold up and resist them. I have assembled my imperial army to support them.” King Ru Ning told the He Emperor directly. He had no clue that his army had long been subdued!
“King Ru Ning, this is Zi Ye. He is a Sword Master from Zikun Sect.” Emperor He Mo introduced the man who is riding a sword. The man slightly bowed his head to King Ru Ning.
“I shall attend to the border of Yellow River with my imperial army. Do you want to join?” King Ru Ning casually invited Emperor He Mo as if he is heading on a banquet.
“How about Ru Shi?” Emperor He Mo asked.
“He knows what to do. He will manage the state affairs of Ru Empire” King Ru Ning replied.
“Alright, let’s go!” Emperor He Mo agreed and with the lead of King Ru Ning, they headed to the assembled imperial army.
When they arrived, all of the soldiers bow towards them. Zi Ye was smiling from ear to ear on the sight of the soldiers. King Ru Ning announced to the imperial army about their goals.
“The Ru Elite Army is resisting our enemies in the border. They have sent a letter that the enemies are hundreds of thousands thus, we shall go to the border and help them. Today, these generations of conflict in the Yellow River territory will end. And we will comeback victorious!” King Ru Ning announced loudly in front of the imperial army.
“Yes!” the whole imperial army roared. Soon the hundreds of battalion went towards the border of Yellow River.
“Your Majesty, what exactly are we going to do?” Zi Ye asked the emperor. He had stubbornly asked him in the Hong Empire to let him go with them since the lady is his savior and he wants to return the favor. Ye Shin refused his plea but Emperor He Mo saw him as a great ally and took allowed him to join. Zi Ye did not asked any information at the two. He just followed them without any idea where they are heading when they left the Hong Empire.
“A war has started in the Yellow River. We will help the Ru Elite Army.” Emperor He Mo replied.
They are going to war! Zi Ye felt his excitement rise up. He can practice his sword skill while fighting. He slightly glanced at Ye Shin and saw her calmly riding her horse.
“Have you been to a war, Lady Ye Shin?” Zi Ye asked curiously.
“No.” The lady did not glance at him but he heard Ye Shin’s curt response. He looked back at Emperor He Mo and wondered how the man seemed not bothered of the idea that his companion is inexperienced.
