The Sended's

Chapter 69: Those Kingdoms, They don't more than a Sand Castle

Fengxian's body fell lying on the fertile land of the Jin Kingdom, signifying the end of the endless warrior

Percival, despite winning, looked very exhausted. I haven't seen him like that since I fought against him of course.

"No!! How could it be... no.. This duel is illegitimate!! We cannot lose to a nation like you, barbarians!!"

Zhongyin, dissatisfied with the outcome of this duel, drew out his sword and charged forward towards Percival using his horse

Ughhhh! It's always like this, can't they respect their comrades who have died honorably? What Zhongyin did would only tarnish the honor of Fengxian whom he held high

"Can I borrow this?" I asked while pulling Shin's sword from the sheath

"Eh? Miss, what should we do? It seems that Mr. Percival is already very exhausted there," Shin said

He was right, Percival was already very exhausted, but I guess to kill a figure of a big braggart like Zhongyin, he still had enough manpower

"Just calm down, today the enemy lost their matchless warrior along with one great General" I said

I'm reluctant to use this but.... if it can be very profitable then why not?

|Accceleration|

I accelerated myself up to a dozen times faster than the horse Zhongyin was riding, although it sounded very fast but my movements could still be seen in plain sight

I slashed vertically to his right abdomen, when I had passed him I immediately turned to aim for his back, this time a sloping swing from above. Only when this second attack occurred did I stop my Acceleration skill

Zhongyin with his huge body, squeezed and fell off the horse he was riding on, unconscious with two very deep slash wounds.

It was common for me to give such a deep wound, though, because this acceleration can penetrate almost anything if of course the weapon I use is also quite sturdy or at least equivalent to the thing I want to cut

In this case, I think Shin's sword is a good sword, I see that this sword does not even crack even though it has broken through the armor of a Great General

Hm? Ah right, what am I supposed to do with the Ming warriors back there?

"Your strongest generals and warriors have been killed, do you want to be next?" Much

They did not wait any longer to run with their horses, heading to the camp of the Ming army in the North. It should be with this that the whole army was pushed back and the invasion delayed until another great General got here

So before it arrives....

"Miss Rune, no we should be chasing their troops, we should make sure that they are completely gone from our land" Shin said

"Yes, we're going after them, but I don't expect much. Because the troops that escape desperately usually outrun the organized army,"

But that doesn't mean I don't have a plan, if I know they run faster then isn't there no reason we're after them? If to find out if they really had left, we could have sent just a few people that was enough

We'll chase them all the way to Guangdong, their city.

"What?! Miss Rune, it's too late! We can't do that, I think it's enough for us to expel them" Shin said

"Whatchu mean? You are officially at war, you may conquer the Ming and you will not be considered the wrong side,"

"Me-Conquering Ming? A kingdom that big?" Said Shin doubtfully

"The kingdom, nothing more than a sand castle, only time goes on forever,"

That also applies to Ruby, but even a sand castle if built with the right base and location can last a very long time.

.

Guangdong was a city that was planned to be used as a trading city to match the Jin to their south, but the plan never came to fruition because their King was getting sick

Then why bother building another trading city if you can take Jin with the large army that Ming has, right? So the plan was cancelled

But there is already a sturdy castle on the seafront for the sake of guarding the construction, now although not so building but the castle is still guarded by hundreds of Ming soldiers

Until.. tonight comes.

Tonight was a bad night for some reason, as it was raining heavily in the area, making guarding almost impossible

Usually there is one soldier every four meters above the castle walls, now there is only one soldier at a time. The rest of them were either cooling down, warming themselves up or resting

But it was also already an open secret, so for the same reason, Ruby came in these moments.

The dark night, coupled with the rain and thick fog in the sea, made the only thing to see was with the lightning light that struck, even then it still had a certain distance

On the edge of an empty tower, the Ming warrior who had his turn to guard yawned

There are four towers that form this fort into a square shape although not the same length, Of course two towers facing the sea because of its position on the beach. Both were empty in the rain, and the remaining two who did not face the sea were the Ming soldiers to rest

It was already night time, heavy rain anyway, could not be blamed if the soldier who was standing guard was sleepy and stood with his spear as a pedestal. Who wants to punish him anyway? All of his colleagues and superiors were resting far across

Then it's not like there will be a fleet of warships with dozens of warships and dozens of transport ships pounding the fort, is it? Ever since the fort was built, they had never once been attacked.

The Ming soldier fell asleep for a while and then got up again, but he fell asleep again and woke up again, and well.he closed his eyes once more for some time, but when he woke up from the lightning strike, he was, he rubbed his eyes and yawned

Then he slapped his own face and saw the ocean to stay awake, and how surprised he was when another flash arrived, there was a fleet anchored nearby

When he turned around, there were hundreds of undead warriors who had already walked over the castle walls, one of them directly stabbed the Ming warrior to death.

The night was so calm that when one of the undead entered the tower full of Ming soldiers resting, they all shouted at the undead. One more Ming soldier was killed amidst the panic, but the rest immediately dropped the undead with their bare hands

They all took their weapons immediately after and came out to see the state of their castle, which they saw was a hellish thing. An army of undead walked everywhere, they all carried swords and could fight well against the Ming army

But undead are undead, they have certain weaknesses, let alone undead that are there are low-level undead that is a kind of zombie, their weaknesses are at speed

"The Jiangshis are moving slowly!"

"Cut their heads!"

"Damn! The problem is in their numbers!"

"Where did they come from?!"

The clinking of the swords clashing sounded along with the cheers of the people as well as the sound of rain that was going on, but there was another sound that was heard but was covered by the three things earlier. It was the sound of Ruby's warrior footsteps on the wall

"Make it!"

They were crossbowman soldiers, they had already directed their crossbow-crossbows at Ming warriors who were fighting in an empty area within the fortress

"Foot!"

The rain mixed with dozens of arrows that flushed the Ming army down there, and since they basically only took weapons to defend, they did not wear or carry protection such as armor and shields

About a hundred Ming warriors died in the fortress by the swing of the undead sword or by the crossbow arrows of Ruby

The fleet brought Kyouka, Maou, and the entire Ruby army to set foot for the first time on the Eastern continent. First time for them, first time for the West.

.

With the ability of Maou, we were able to build a temporary dock and our first camp in the Eastern Continent, the plan is we will start to build a fixed dock when Guangdong already we controlled

But we are now being chased for time because that Ryuu is pushing back the Ming forces from Jin territory faster than Maou expected, well maybe that was the first time Maou miscalculated....

"So what's your plan Maou?" I asked in his tent

"Because my calculations are wrong then-Woah! W-Why are you here, Kyouka?" Hm? He was so surprised to see me

"Can't it?"

"N-It's not okay but.. uhh.. forget that, all I want to say is we have to speed up our schedule," he said.

"Well, it's your fault for not telling Ryuu about this plan,"

"That's not my intention, but I guess he's already overburdened by being an attache in the Jin Kingdom," Maou said

"As long as you know Maou, Ryuu is happy to do things that smell of war. He won't feel burdened by his duties,"

"You say it like Ryuu is a bad person." he gave a look like disgust and did not believe what I said.

But that's true! If there is a good side and a bad side in this world, then Ryuu is the evil side. And since we both conspired with him then we are also villains of this world....
