THE BATTLE OF 1000 SPIRITS

CHAPTER 14: HEADING TO THE PIER

Myro took out a paper made of cloth in his hand and opened the cloth paper on the ground below.

Mili who was curious about the function of the cloth paper immediately understood when looking at the map that was well drawn on the cloth paper.

Myro pointed to the map he opened "This is the map I used while in the military against the Talem Kingdom. Although this map does not cover the entire Kingdom of Talem, at least this map records the complete territory around here. The problem is that this map was created many years ago, before Talem Kingdom defeated and captured the kingdom where I was before. For that reason, there may be some parts on the map that are no longer in accordance with the current situation".

Mili nodded "Have not your kingdom lost not too long ago? So there shouldn't be much changed on the map so we can still use it. Where do you think we're going now, sir? Our enemy is a Royal Marquis of Talem, there is a possibility that all the nobles here will help him capture us. So, we may need to choose to pass the path in another kingdom rather than remain through the Talem Kingdom".

Myro thought for a while before answering "The Golden Mountain is very far from here, even my map has no location of the Golden Mountain due to the distance being too great. But I had heard that the golden mountain was heading east from here, the fastest way was through the Vaghol Pier which belonged to Count Vaghol of Talem Kingdom. After boarding the ship from the dock then we will arrive at the Aeleen Kingdom which means we have reached the central continent, one step closer than the Golden Mountain located in the easternmost region of the world. If we choose to pass through the neighboring kingdom, the time spent is too long because we need to pass through the detour. Most likely we'll waste a month, don't you mind spending that long?".

"If I can be quick, I certainly refuse to waste time" said Mili sighing with a heavy face "The problem is that Count Vaghol who guards the dock knows that Marquis Bonjer is after us, they must have closed the pier and tried to catch us too. In any case as long as it succeeds in helping Marquis Bonjer to capture us, the Marquis will be happy which is an advantage to Count Vaghol's future".

Myro shook his head "Mili, you may have just been in Talem Kingdom which makes you not know many things, but I have been here for quite a while. Even though I was in a remote village, but that doesn't mean I don't know any information at all about what happened in Talem Kingdom. After successfully defeating my kingdom, the victorious Talem Kingdom has not become as peaceful as what everyone thought at first".

"The kingdom where I am and the Kingdom of Talem are enemies who hated each other a long time ago, therefore everyone thought as long as one of us was destroyed then the victorious kingdom must be at peace. But everyone now knows that what they think is wrong, it turns out that when the old war is over it is not peace that happens but a new war, the condition of the Talem Kingdom is currently divided into 2 parts, namely those who are very loyal to the king while the other groups are those who have their own ambitions and have a great possibility of rebelling".

Mili kept staring at Myro, he looked very interested in what Myro was talking about.

Facing Mili's attitude, Myro smiled confidently "Therefore, bringing Marquis Bonjer to Count Vaghol would not give himself an advantage but he himself would be troubled because the Count would forbid his troops to the dock. Then there is also the possibility that they will fight and kill each other. I believe the King of Talem Kingdom has long been worried about Marquis Bonjer, he has 2 spirits following him. As long as Marquis Bonjer rebelled with the help of the 2 spirits as well as the royal leaders who had long planned to rebel, there was a high chance that the Marquis' rebel was successful".

Hearing Myro's question, Mili said confidently "When my strength decreases due to the poison, I can still defeat them if not disturbed by the magicians. Now that most of my strength is recovered, it is no longer a problem against them! But the biggest problem was when they opened the Core Attack! If there is only 1 Core Attack, I can withstand it without any problems. But if there's a 2, I might be a bit of a hassle".

Myro nodded "Isn't Holuka stronger than Jirfa? I will hold Jirfa as long as possible, I hope that you can defeat Holuka as quickly as possible when I hold Jirfa".

Mili was shocked by Myro's words, she shook her head firmly "Your actions are not much different from suicide, sir! Let me tell you, even though Jirfa is weaker than Holuka, even rank 8 warriors are not necessarily his opponents. Especially if he opens the Core Attack, I disagree with the idea you gave me".

"Don't worry, however there's a chance that Jirfa underestimated me so that she wouldn't open her Core Attack" after which Myro gazed towards her right hand covered in bandages "In addition, Myro looked up at her, even if he unlocks the Core Attack, I still have a secret weapon to hold him".

Mili immediately gazed towards Myro's right hand, it seemed like his own master was still harboring some great secrets, something capable of withstanding the Core Attack of the spirits was definitely not an easy matter. At least even valuable artifacts, not many of them could resist Spirit Core Attacks. Even if it can, finished in use then generally the artifact will be destroyed.

"Sir, how sure is it that your right hand is able to withstand Jirfa's Core Attack?", asked Mili curiously.

Myro shook his head "I don't know because I've never seen how frightening Core Attacks are to spirits. Not to mention that I also did not see how Jirfa's Core Attack was, but I believe in this right hand of mine that managed to make me survive the bad circumstances many times".

Mili was not stubborn and immediately nodded "Since master decided to believe, then I will believe it too! If we manage to either ship to the dock without fighting, then it is better because our main goal is to go to the Golden Mountain, there we only fight using all the strength as a determinant of victory. Therefore, as long as the fight can still be avoided, we will avoid it. But if Holuka and Jirfa manage to stop us, do not hesitate to start a fight against them according to the plan you gave us earlier!".
