The Voyage In The Blizzard - Chapter 71

“By order of the head of the Second Clan, you must all immediately gather in the main house!”

Waking up early in the morning from a loud voice that had been repeating the same thing over and over again several times, the warriors of the First Clan jumped up and looked out the window.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Delun pulled the blanket over his head and said, “Someone shut him up!”

“I just got back from the battlefield yesterday and I have a terrible headache.”

“Let’s just ignore him.” said Xiaoli returning to his dreams.

“By order of the head of the Second Clan, you must all immediately gather in the main house!” again a voice was heard from outside.

“What is this? Why is he shouting only in front of our house?” Throwing his blanket on the floor, Ice jumped out of bed and went to the door and opened the lock angrily shouted, “Stop yelling! Otherwise I will throw you into the hands of the beast!”

“By order of the head of the Second Clan, you must all immediately gather in the main house!”

Leaving the house, Ice looked around but did not see anyone. “Looks like everyone’s going crazy here..”

Returning to the house, he slammed the door shut with a bang and jumping into bed answered Delun’s question, “I don’t know. Probably someone just decided to play a joke.”

No sooner had everyone plunged into dreams when a knock was heard at the door.

“That’s it! I can’t bear this anymore!” Grabbing the blood stained sword that lay on the floor, Delun opened the door and saw ten or more Second Clan warriors. “What are you doing here?”

“You were told to go to the main house. Which of the above do not you understand?”

“What do you allow yourself? You are generally in the territory of the First Clan!” getting out of bed said Baofeng-Xue.

“Yes, but there is still no clan leader on the territory of the First Clan.”

“But that doesn’t give you the right to be in our village. Have some respect for Master Xing Fu.” cried Delun, closing the door.

Catching the closing door, a warrior whose name was as unknown as himself, said with a smile on his face, “I ask you to peacefully go with us to the Main House.”

“Or what?”

“Delun, enough. Okay, we’ll go.”

“But Brother Xue!”

“I don’t want to waste my strength fighting these people. And you! Close the door, it’s cold.”

Gathering strength after a fierce battle, all who were in the house, throwing on their capes, followed the crowd of soldiers who walked in unison.

Walking alongside Baofeng-Xue, Delun whispered, “Warriors of the Second Clan, they even walk like idiots.”

Without saying anything, Baofeng-Xue had already noticed Longwei and Lei walking in front of everyone. Fixing his gaze on them he hoped that Longwei won’t do anything silly.

While entering the Main House, grabbing Longwei by the sleeve, Baofeng-Xue waited a little, while everyone went inside.

“You should show some respect to our clan. You and Lei. How can you just disappear and live in the farm?” he whispered into Longwei’s ear.

“Actually, I’m very busy Brother Xue. But if I tell you what I’m up to, you won’t believe it.”

“I hope it’s not something crazy. Although I think you’ve already committed a lot of crazy things. And the main one is that you live with Lei.”

Longwei laughed and lowered his head. “What’s wrong with that?”

“You will never change, will you?”

“Hush. Better listen to what they tell us.”

“This Sun is allowing himself too much.”

“And that’s all because now the monsters themselves are guarding him. No one can say a word to him. I’m wondering how he can control them like that? Why don’t the monsters attack him?” whispered Longwei.

Approaching him, Baofeng-Xue, barely standing on his feet, made a quiet sound thus showing that he was in pain. A pale face covered with sweat suddenly twisted in agony.

“Are you hurt? Brother Xue!”

“Yes, in the war, I almost lost my leg. It was right in the mouth of the beast and a little more, I would have become one-legged.”

“Come here. Lean against the wall.”

“You ask why the beasts love Sun so much, but the point is that he is just like them. This is the only explanation for everything that is happening now.”

“Silence please!” exclaimed Ju Long from the center of the hall.

Longwei, knowing that he would see all the unpleasant people here, still did not promise that he would be able to control himself in the future.

“As you might guess, the reason for this meeting is some change in the First Clan.” he started, but Sun interrupted him and continued, “Let me continue. Thanks Ju Long.” Dressed exactly like Xing Fu, wearing a white fur cape that covered his body from head to toe, Sun, casting a glance at everyone, continued, “I will not take your time with long speeches. The reason why I gathered everyone is not my wish, it is Xing Fu’s wish.”

“What is he talking about?” whispered Baofeng-Xue.

“And since we were very good brothers throughout our lives, Xing Fu, let him rest in peace, or rather his soul came to me in a dream. And he made me understand that I must lead the First Clan until a worthy candidate appears.” Dissipating the chaos in everyone’s thoughts, Sun said and waited for everyone’s reaction.

“What nonsense!”

“This is nonsense! Sun! Stop this show! Are you kidding us?” shouted one of the warriors. “Don’t shut my mouth, brother! I won’t dare to be in the clan he runs! I’d rather be eaten by

beasts!”

Making a frightened look, Sun reacted with a few words that forced everyone to grab their swords, “How brave you are all here. I see that brother Xing Fu was not such a good head of the clan. Looking at you, I see people who need a proper education.”

Having blocked Sun from all sides, several huge warriors like Ye Ying stood in the way of those who wanted to attack him.

Observing everyone’s reactions, Sun fixed his gaze on Longwei and shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t know why everyone was so angry.

“And therefore, following the fact that you do not have a leader and you still have not elected any of your own, then I have every right to become the head of the First Clan. I will do everything for Xing Fu to continue to be proud of his clan!”

“Sun! Don’t think we’ll let you do that!” exclaimed Delun breaking through the crowd to the direction where the throne stood.

“Delun stop!” clasping him with both hands, Enlai pressed him against the wall and whispered, “If you attack him, he will kill you.”

“I don’t care! Sun! I promise! I will destroy you!”

“You are all brave and strong warriors. This is good. Aggression should be in everyone to be able to survive in this harsh world. Am I right?” Sun asked looking at Longwei who, to his great surprise, stood calmly. “Well, if the bravest and smartest of you are calm, then I will continue.” he added referring to Longwei and Lei. “Due to the fact that now the war is everywhere, not only on the battlefield, serious measures should be taken. As the head of the First Clan, I call on every soldier who turns 17 and every soldier standing here to join the ranks of my army and go to the battlefield. Before the end of this period, we need to destroy as many monsters as possible. And of course, I will give the young soldiers the opportunity to see the beast closer to learn it’s weak point.”

“Do you want to send our children to fight? They are only a few months old!”

“I understand that the new generation of the First Clan is famous for their affection for their children, but even if they are several months old, as I understand they are already 17 years old. They are old enough to stand up for their lives.” Sun said, running his hand along the back of the throne.

“You are a monster!”

“What are you waiting?! Beat him!” someone shouted and the whole crowd ran towards the throne.

Moving towards where Longwei was standing, Lei, leading him away from the fight between the warriors of the two clans, said, “You are holding up well. Well done.”

“I can’t take this anymore. Let me destroy him now.”

“No. Longwei, look at me. Look. Calm down. You know that the one who laughs last laughs the best.”

“This Sun, what does he allow himself? He treats everyone like everyone is stupid and crazy. Look, this is all a game for him. And the worst thing is that nobody can do anything.”

“The game always has an end. And in the end the winner is the one who was quiet and uninvolved.”

“Play is play, but did you hear? He wants us all to go to war with our children!”

Pulling him closer to him, Lei whispered, “Don’t you understand? This is an opportunity. This is a chance to escape from here. When we all go to the battlefield, from there, we can escape. Together with Yun Qi.”

“Sun won’t allow it.”

“Longwei, in the war, nobody sees anyone. This is a chance for us to leave the Three Mountains and go to the Kingdom of Waterfalls.”

“What?!”

“Longwei, soon Yun Qi will put an end to this.”
