RETURN OF THE EMPEROR

CHAPTER 23: DETERMINING THE LOCATION OF THE FLAG

When the people from the Land Bear Sect had already arrived, the group from the Zodiac Sect was already here as well.

Be it Feka, Shi Yan, Sun Wu and all the elders present in the Zodiac Sect were already present, but there was someone wearing a robe among the elders of the Zodiac Sect that made everyone unable to see his face.

Staring at the person wearing the mask, the oldest elder's face became gloomy because according to the information he had then the Zodiac Sect should not have any other elders. Therefore, the oldest elder was convinced that this masked man was a favor that the Zodiac Sect was looking for from another sect.

"Wait first! The Sect Protector Group had to make sure the war was always fair instead! According to the information we have, the Zodiac Sect should not have any elders wearing these masks! I believe this is a violation of war, the Zodiac Sect is seeking help from another sect! So for justice, the guards of the Sect Protective Group should check it out" said the oldest elder full of confidence.

the 2 people who were the mediators of the battle and were from the Fire Fist Sect stared at each other, they nodded and walked towards the robed person "We have to check the faces of every player, can you open a little of your robes? You can use a more hidden room so that others can't see either, however there must be a reason to hide your identity".

The robed man nodded, he left with the 2 mediators before returning 5 minutes later.

When he returned, the faces of the 2 people from the Fire Fist Sect were very strange but they only said "We've checked it out, this person is indeed from the Zodiac Sect so it doesn't violate any rules. All right, we'll start the fight!".

The oldest elder's face was full of confusion, but he knew that these 2 mediators would not lie because there was no point in helping a fake sect. Hence, the oldest elder could only swallow his doubts.

Someone among the 2 mediators again explained the rules "No need to waste any more time, we will give each sect a flag that allows you to determine the location where you hid your flag. You can wear a false flag or whatever, we can definitely tell the difference between a fake or a real one. As long as you get the real you win, but if it's fake then the war will continue. Do you guys understand?".

Everyone nodded indicating that they understood, the mediator smiled kindly "Then the fight will begin, each of you will have half an hour to hide this flag. Half an hour from now on!".

After that the Zodiac Sect and the Land Bear Sect were given their respective flags, then the Zodiac Sect was on the west side of this empty city while the Land Bear Sect was on the east side. Their distance was far enough that each group did not know where their opponents were hiding the flag.

The person holding the flag of the Zodiac Sect was that cloaked person because this person was none other than Myro.

"I will determine where this flag is hidden, does anyone mind?", Myro said staring at everyone firmly.

Everyone shook his head indicating that they did not mind, Myro nodded before explaining back his plan "Everyone will attack the enemy, no one needs to guard the flag, I will also attack. But in exchange I will leave a spirit of mine here just in case, do you understand?".

"Isn't this plan too risky? Although I know the patriarch's spirit is very strong, but keep the flag alone-" said Feka who felt that this plan was not very good.

But Myro waved his hand quickly "I know, so I'll tell you that as long as we use my plan then we'll win. Do you guys believe it?".

Everyone stared at each other before saying firmly "Patrik, we believe in you!".

Myro nodded again "Then you can leave! Remember, you must attack as quickly as possible so that we can get the enemy's flag much faster".

Everyone nodded before going towards their respective directions, they planned to attack the enemy from various directions in order to make the enemy confused and hassled.

When everyone left, Myro called Capricorn.

Seeing Capricorn's bright smile, Myro joined in smiling "Capricorn, you will guard this flag. I'm sure, as long as you take care of him then no one can take this flag from you. Can you do it?".

Capricorn nodded and said confidently "Master need not worry, Capricorn will not let anyone steal this flag unless they kill Capricorn".

Myro nodded and gave the flag to Capricorn "With you guarding him then I need not worry, always be careful of the surroundings!".

"Okay sir!", said Capricorn saluting Myro.

Myro did not waste any more time and went to the front row, during these 30 minutes then everyone should not attack each other, yet, but they can go to the line that borders the western and eastern regions to prepare to attack.

After Myro left, Capricorn stared at the flag in his hand in confusion.

This flag was taller than his own body, therefore it was quite strange to see a child-like Capricorn holding this flag in his hands.

"Where should I hide this flag? I must not let you down, let's think!", said Capricorn as he gently lashed his head.

Suddenly Capricorn's eyes shone "Right, I just need to put this flag on the ground, as long as the goat uncle guards it then no one can snatch this flag. Capricorn is really smart!".

Then Capricorn put the flag on the ground before calling the uncle goat, a confident smile on his face increased because he was confident in the care of the goat uncle who he thought was invincible.

...----------------...

Myro had been hiding in a building in the front row, while for the flag, Myro was not worried because the person guarding him was Capricorn.

Do not look at Capricorn who is still like a child, in certain moments then Capricorn will certainly have a surprising idea.

At least Capricorn's idea is too bizarre that makes enemies difficult to think of, whereas Libra should be smarter than Capricorn but Libra doesn't often have very unique ideas.

So Myro decided to give this task to Capricorn, after all Myro had to keep his spirit as secret as much as possible.

If people knew that Myro had many zodiac spirits, even the 5 Emperors would not sit idly by.

Therefore, at most Myro can only show 2 spirits. As for the other spirits, Myro should not use them unless bad circumstances actually occur which makes Myro have to wear them.

Half an hour was over, the mediator of this battle stood on the dividing line between the west and east sides.

The mediator raised his hand before shouting "The battle is beginning!".
