The Bloody General Sword

Vol 9's

Geem closed his eyes, and a few minutes later he opened both his eyes and saw a woman had become a shield for him, the woman's eyes were staring towards the geem, the two Ochtosk warriors had been killed, the woman fought and defeated him.

As the sky turned dark, lightning struck and the rain came pouring down, with all Geem's might trying to help the woman, so the child thought of giving her water, Geem dragged his injured leg and picked up a leaf then headed for the Kyusu river and filled it with water flowing from it.

Gem approached the woman who was now covered in blood on the rocks of the Kyusu river.

"Sister. Drink this water, drink it so that your wounds don't hurt anymore."

The woman did not speak anything she just stared at Geem, her breathing began to shorten and blood was flowing from his back.

"My rabbit was injured and I gave this water to him, the next day my rabbit was back to health" Geem said innocently. Then Geem continued.

"Sister must be a good person so .. so drink this water," said Gem, holding back his tears.

Geem brought the water-filled leaf closer to the lips of the now dying woman, one gulp and then a rumbling sound broke the stillness of the lightning flashing, Geem pondered again, two gulps of the woman's eyes twitching, and, then a zig-zag-shaped flash was seen in the sky, the three gulps that the gem gave the woman made her seem to disappear little by little then she was no more, no more, he vanished turned into foam and flowed with the water of the Kyusu river.

Geem trembled in fear, finally falling unconscious where the general had turned to foam.

The five Akai had gathered in the middle of the forest.

"What should we do? The fortress has fallen into the hands of prince Yamagashi, and we do not know where the general is" Matsue said.

All this time only the general can find the five of us, wherever we are, even though we can't find him" Hatachi said.

"That morning the general was in disguise." said Rui.

"I found traces of women's shoes, although I don't know which one our general was when Otaru and I went down the market this morning."

"We know what the general did before the attack, he will look at the state of the city he will attack." Tutsima added.

"This information may be known by Prince Yamagashi so he devised this cunning plan" Otaru said.

"Hey buddy, what he's dealing with is the general" Hatachi continued.

"It's not that easy to kill him."

"But we know the general is undercover, so he wouldn't be able to do anything if he didn't wear his armor and was very conspicuous if he could single-handedly finish off dozens of those soldiers, his identity will be revealed" Otaru said.

The five akai hoped and waited for the general to open the door, but there was no sign of his presence. The night was getting late, the air was getting colder, only one illumination illuminated the five of them.

Their heads were busy thinking where their generals were.

It did not cross their minds that the danger threatening their general, let alone the death of the general, was not as easy as eliminating their leader with all the battles and wars he had faced.

Suddenly Otaru realized something, he held the table and said to them.

"Kyusu River. Y'all know? Before I got to the fort, the general told me to look for the legendary Kyusu river, could it be the general to that place?"
