The Sended's

Chapter 67: The Dragon and the Lion

The fourth day, this time the atmosphere was completely deserted, if usually the Ming troops began to gather on the farm before the sun reached above our heads, now none of them had appeared

I rested most of the soldiers who from the first day of battle, many of whom were Ruby soldiers because they were the ones standing at the front of the wall in case any enemy got up here

But there really isn't.

The enemy had run out of sense on how to get to the wall and conquer this Jin city.

"Miss Rune, do you want to have lunch with me?" Rose Shin

Well.. I was also walking to the mess to take my meal anyway.

"I heard that the food of the Eastern Continent is light but still delicious, in contrast to our food in the West which is mostly tasteless and hard,"

"Hear that I think the Western Continent is a bad place to live huh.... The war going on everywhere doesn't seem to me how bad you are" Shin said

"Actually not so, there are more wars there than here and in the Southern Continent, but not every day as well. Even the last war I know of was between Franca and Hohenzollern, it was about a generation ago" I explained

Well that's what I know. The problem is, I only know the kingdoms in the coastal to the middle mountains only, while the civilization behind the long mountains is completely unthinkable or I know about them.

"Well, all this time we thought you guys were suffering" Shin said

"The suffering is not from the effects of war, but because of the failure of authority to recover from it. If we continue to blame past wars for poverty in our country, there is no way we can get here" I replied

Hohenzollern was such a land, especially since their King was on the brink of death, their people began to suffer from the guilt of authority, but were diverted by them towards the impact of the war against Franca

So that's how the growing hatred of Franca, when viewed again then because they were actually formed Hohenzollern Kingdom. If they had not invaded the land then up to this point Hohenzollern should still have been split.

Today's lunch menu is rice with fermented vegetable side dishes that taste sour and spicy, then there is chicken broth soup with tofu stuffing that is cut as small as dice, and then there is chicken broth soup, it can fill the stomach and boost our morale

But before I could finish, a messenger came in a hurry, they reported the movement of the enemy that was speeding here

Shin and I placed our bowls and chopsticks and moved quickly up the wall.

I saw that their general was riding directly accompanied by dozens of soldiers who all used lamela armor, which meant that they were more elite than others

I guess if he wanted to negotiate, he stopped before entering our crossbow firing range and stayed there with his 77 men

"Do you know who he is, Mr Shin?" Much

"He was named Zhongyin of the Dong family, they were rulers of the Northern region directly adjacent to the Dwarf fortress, he was one of the four great Ming Generals,"

Oh? That's pretty interesting

And yes, Shin did not say wrong, there is a Dwarf fortress in the North. Tell you what, I'll show you the map I bought,

At the top left or Southwest end, the, there was a Dwarf fortress which was actually quite natural because this continent was connected to the land beyond the mountains in the North which was a large forest of Elves and other vast land belonging to Dwarves as well as various other races

While the Ming alone controlled four cities and would soon conquer Joseon with one of their other armies.

I heard that each Ming army was led by a great General who was a ruling family of the city like Dong Zhongyin, making them have four great Generals at present, 200,000 soldiers...

Ruby barely had a chance to fight them at once, lucky that they were split into four and rarely united

"What are we gonna do, miss?" Ask Shin

"Walking to them, of course,"

Me, Shin, and the 50 Ruby warriors went up there on horses to meet this General Ming, let's try to hear what he wants to say.

"I am General Zhongyin! The ruler of the Northern region and the chief advisor of King Ming!"

"I am Shin Shaozu, the young master of-"

"I don't care who you are, you despicable fellow! Ahaha! I'm just here to say that you're gonna die soon if you don't give up,"

His personality is very eccentric, he seems to talk and act as he pleases, considering others only as slaves or subordinates

"You even recruited fighters from the west into your army, it was a desperate act worth doing! I commend you! But even with that, you will never stop the ocean waves from breaking the rock!"

Woah began to use majas.... The eastern people

"Well! I thought you couldn't speak, so it seems that if chimpanzees were taught then they could also speak?" Ughhhh...

"But I think you're the one who brought the technology to destroy our towers, it's commendable, I'm going to arrest all of you and forcefully pull that information out of your heads,"

The braggart seems to be suitable to have a creepy face, it will only make their jokes look real.

I unrolled the scroll that Kyouka gave me and signed it to me, then I read it in front of him

"With this, I Queen Lofi along with the entirety of the Ruby nation and Kingdom, declared war on the Ming with the invasion of Jin

Signed by the Queen of the Ruby Kingdom, Lofi."

I closed the scroll again and I saw the facial expressions of all of them who were shocked to hear this statement, without exception of the great braggart Zhongyin

"War is no longer in despair, General Dong, especially after you denigrate our nation like that" I said

"yeah! You think we're scared?! Let's finish this siege immediately so I can prepare for war against you!"

"I'm fighting a one-on-one fight! Death duel to get Jin city, if you win then we will return to Guangdong." Further

The entire army cheered, while Shin whispered into my ear

"Miss, let me do it, my family before becoming traders was a successful martial arts family in the past" he said

"Lu Fengxian!" Zhongyin

Wah-wah from earlier I have been holding back from saying this again, but how not? The name of the two of them took from the time of the three kingdoms in China first, plagiarism...

Dong Zhongyin was the full name of the tyrant Dong Zhuo, while L-Fengxian was the name of the famous warrior, L-bu, whose full name was L-Feng Xian Bu.

Damn it, he even has the same characteristics as described in history about the appearance of Lu Bu, head coverings with a tail and a horse with a characteristic hair that is bright red and skin that is dark red

In the original history of the earth, the horse was named Red Hare which became one of the most famous horses in human history.... It is said that the horse is the most formidable among its species, making the horse very suitable with Lu Bu the strongest warrior of man

"Ayahanda," he said in response to Zhongyin's call

The spear is a spear Ji unique design, for me it looks very heavy

"Haha.... Lu Feng is my adopted son as well as a matchless fighter who never once lost against others, I'm sure his name is familiar no longer, Shin Shaozu?"

After I saw it, it looked Shin whose face was pale and sweat came out from all over his body. Hehe, I'm sure he withdrew his words earlier about offering to go ahead with the duel

"N-Nona, Lu Fengxian is a fighter from Chang'an who has never once lost against others, it is said that there was once a Dwarf fighter who came to the South to find opponents, he said, and it just so happened that Chang'an was a martial city, he was extremely strong, his slash could split the opponent's weapons and armor. At that time, Lu Fengxian advanced and managed to balance against him," explained Shin

Once remembered, Dwarves possessed great power that could be on par with Orcs if Orcs did not use their strengthening magic, it meant that he was indeed that strong so that it could be balanced against Dwarf warriors

"Who's your fighter, Shin Shaozu?" Ask Zhongyin

Shin lowered his head and bit his own lips, his body trembling just from looking at Fengxian earlier. A matchless fighter huh? That's a suitable opponent for our strongest knight isn't it?

"I'm going to go forward"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Shin, since Ruby has already declared war on Ming, then officially we are allies here. I'm sure you don't mind if the warrior is matchless against the Western knight, don't you, General Dong?" Much

"Oh? That'll be interesting! I'm looking forward to it!"

"It's your time, Percival!"

There's something I have to explain a little bit about Percival, he now has new armor made of rare materials that we got in Ruby land, some of which are materials that we've only ever known, some of which are new materials that we've all three of us, some of them are materials we already know

His armor is full plate type, covering all parts of his body, then the inside is covered again with chain armour. Of course it was very heavy, I couldn't possibly lift even the helmet, but because it was Percival so well....

The design that Maou chose was a design with a helmet box similar to a knight crusader, then fitted with a robe with a deep red color and a large logo in the middle with a shield that is divided into four, and then a large logo in the middle, the upper left and lower right sides are the image of a lion, while the upper right and lower left sides are the image of a lily

He looks good with that armor. Especially with a two-handed sword that was more than half his height.

Another Ruby warrior cheered for her.

A death duel between peerless warriors from the Eastern Continent, against Ruby's strongest knight, I guess that would be brutal?
