The Spear Knights of Nirwana

The Mori Tribe's Revenge

***

"For over a hundred years I have lived and for decades I have served this Kingdom, only then have I been disappointed in one of the descendants of the Zhi family!" wei Fang said with a disappointed feeling.

"Commander, let me explain...!"

"I'm not done talking! So don't cut my words off before I finish my words!" wei Fang's two eyes glared at Yong Shing who wanted to convey an explanation.

Yong Shing could only gulp as Wei Fang snapped at him, he could only sit down to let Wei Fang continue his words.

"I have promised the late King Zhi Ang Ghu to serve for the kingdom and also for all the people, if there is someone who dares to tarnish the good name of the kingdom, be it an outsider, he said, as well as the insider, then I make sure he will feel my cleaver!"

"Commander Wei! I admit that if I have made a very big mistake, I am forced to raise myself as King just to fill the throne vacuum, the reason I did that is so that our enemies from the Xia Kingdom do not attack us!" zhi Yu Zhuan said.

"Do you think your reason is right? You think the Xia Kingdom will attack here when they find out if this Kingdom loses its King? The king in Xia Kingdom is as stupid as you think."

Zhi Yu Zhuan only smiled cynically, he also knew that the leader of the Xia Kingdom would not be able to attack the Wu Kingdom even though the Wu kingdom did not yet have a King.

Although the Kingdom of Wu lives its Leader, but there are still great commanders who will guard the Kingdom of Wu, not to mention the Swordsmen and other Knights.

Militarily, the power of the two Kingdoms can be said to be quite balanced in terms of soldiers, warriors, and also weapons of war.

"Let's tell the Commander, so that the commander knows I will show you a letter from an Organization that wants to enter the territory of our kingdom!" said Zhi Yu Zhuan who got up then she went to the side of the throne and took out a scroll of letters then handed it to Wei Fang.

"Read it and you'll know what the letter is about!" zhi Yu Zhuan said.

Wei Fang opened the letter then read the contents, not long before his forehead shriveled as if he knew something.

"Do you allow this Black Star Organization to enter our territory?" asked Wei Fang.

"Of course not!" zhi Yu Zhuan replied then she resumed her words.

"Now the Commander has understood, right? If at that time the King's seat was still empty, I'm sure they would have entered here without the permission of this kingdom, therefore I would not and refused to come!" zhi Yu Zhuan said.

"Commander, who exactly is that letter from?" ask Ying Lo.

"This is a letter from the Black Star Organization!" replied Wei Fang.

"Black Star Organization? What other organization is it and where did it come from?" ask Ying Lo.

"The Black Star Organization is a religion-spreading organization, unlike the Three Flowers Organization, they only teach the Dharma for the beliefs they believe in."

Wei Fang explained that if the Black Star Organization had been in shape for a long time, there had not been a single person who knew who its founder was and where they came from.

In the Kingdom of Wu itself there are still no adherents of their teachings, but if until some organizations enter, maybe soon there will be some people who will convert.

If only the spreader of religion had just not been a problem, but what made Wei Fang uneasy, in that organization were twenty formidable Swordsmen who were dubbed as the Twenty Black Star Guards, just one of them likely had strength on par with Tian Feng.

The order of their strength was also calculated from their respective positions as the weakest were in the twenty position, his strength was equivalent to one of the ten strongest warriors, he said, and the nineteenth rank was equivalent to one of the Five strongest Swordsmen.

The lower their position, the higher the knowledge they have, and there is one that is still mysterious, namely the founder of the Black Star Organization itself which is said to have a very high science, even higher than the twenty Black Star Guard warriors.

"Are they actually Dharma-spreading Organizations, or associations of Swordsmen?" ying Lo asked, if only it wasn't Wei Fang who explained, maybe he would have thought it was all a joke.

"Maybe they look like Dharma spreaders, but there are great powers that we cannot take for granted, so this Organization can be said to be a threat, but it is not," said Wei Fang then he cast his gaze towards Zhi Yu Zhuan.

"This time I acknowledge your wise decision Zhi Yu Zhuan!" wei Fang said so a wide smile adorned Zhi Yu Zhuan's lips.

"However, I still cannot acknowledge you as king, except for the Council and the entire People of this Kingdom themselves who have crowned you king! One more thing, your arbitrary attitude in changing the rules made me even more disapproving" Wei Fang said.

The wide smile on Zhi Yu Zhuan's lips instantly disappeared changing in annoyance, "It seems like it won't be easy to be able to take Commander Wei's heart! But it's okay because he'll only live to this day, and tomorrow he won't breathe anymore!" inner Zhi Yu Zhuan who still thought that Wei Fang had drunk Poison from Yama Denji.

"So how about next Commander? Will the seat of the Kingdom remain vacant?" ask one of the council.

"We can't be rash, maybe for some time the seat of the Kingdom will remain empty, while the Crown Prince is still too small to be a King" Wei Fang said.

Wei Fang preferred the royal seat to be vacant rather than Zhi Yu Zhuan, Wei Fang did not care about Zhi Yu Zhuan's status as one of the great royal families, for Wei Fang who deserved to be the next King was Zhi Xian's 10-year-old son.

"What if there are other important things that should be the responsibility of a King? Who will take care of everything if this Kingdom does not have a King?" ask Yong Shing.

Zhi Yu Zhuan simply fell silent, she did not dare to protest Wei Fang so she could only stare towards Yong Shing.

"It's up to you to Wei Fang, which is clear tomorrow that your rules will soon disappear and die with you tonight!" inner Zhi Yu Zhuan.

"That's all I can say, and for the next I ask Commander Ying to order the two Commanders who are not present here to send guards to guard the Crown Prince, do not let your guard down because from now on the safety of the Crown Prince and Queen Sie is not safe," Wei Fang said.

Ying Lo nodded then she went out to look for the other two Commander-in-Chief who were currently at the warrior training ground.

"Our meeting today we've already met! In the future I hope that his cooperation will be to safeguard and also help the Queen take care of this Kingdom, and if there is any business that the Queen is unable to complete, please let me know!" wei Fang said but his eyes were fixed on Yong Shing.

Everyone immediately left the meeting hall and all that remained were Zhi Yu Zhuan and Yong Shing alone.

"Counselor Yong, I hope tonight he's really dead!" zhi Yu Zhuan said.

"Your Majesty, it looks like our plan has failed! Commander Wei did not drink that water at all!" yong Shing said.

"Whatchu mean? How's the story about him not drinking his water?" asked Zhi Yu Zhuan who was surprised to hear her.

"Hamba doesn't understand either! I'm going to find Ma Xia Li and I want to ask her, because only she knows!" yong Shing said then he immediately came out to look for Ma Xia Li.

Chief Zhi Yu Zhuan felt ill after finding out that Wei Fang did not die tonight, "If this is all to be in vain! I have to find another way!" inner Zhi Yu Zhuan.

"Where is he? Has he gone home?" Yong Shing looked for Ma Xia Li at some places near the Palace, yet he did not see Ma Xia Li.

After a while finally Yong Shing immediately went to Ma Xia Li's house. Upon arriving there, he heard Ma Xia Li's vomiting-like voice from the backyard.

"Brother Ma? What the hell happened to you?" yong Shing asked as well as looked at several jugs of water.

"Brother Yong, good thing you came here, now I want to get the antidote from Yama Denji quickly!" Ma Xia Li extended his hand to Yong Shing to ask for the antidote.

"Are you kidding me? I asked for the poison to kill people who are not on our side, so my intention was only to kill and not treat, therefore I did not bring the antidote!" answer Yong Shing.

"really..? Please remember again brother Yong, if you can't tonight I will die because of the ginseng water belonging to Commander Wei that I drank it up!" ma Xia Li said, explaining to Yong Shing that he had drunk the water, and it was Tian Feng.

"Once again that Yuan Xia's adopted son, he will truly be a barrier stone for us!" yong Shing said, yet he did not dare to do anything against Tian Feng.

"Brother Yong, instead of you grumbling, you better go now to Yama Denji's place and ask for the antidote for me!" ma Xia Li said.

"I'm sorry I forgot! I'll be right there, wait!" yong Shing said.

"Don't be long, you might see I'm a corpse!" ma Xia Li said.

Yong Shing immediately got on his horse and went towards the place where Yama Denji was quite far away, whereas Ma Xia Li could only hope that Yong Shing could come sooner.

"Are you sure that the little boy who killed Ginjiro was the Yuan Official's adopted son?"

"I'm so sure Katashi-dono, I heard it directly from Mr. Hiroshi's conversation with Saichi."

"Finally after all this time I can find out about Ginjiro's killer! Then we will immediately go to Yuan Xia's house to avenge the death of Ginjiro, and we will take the child's head to Toakai and hand it over to the Chief! Let's go."

About more than 30 people dressed in Shinobi clothes immediately jumped up and disappeared very quickly.

They are the Shinobi of the Mori Tribe who are sent directly by their leader to find out about the death of the Ginjiro or the Red Shinobi and capture him alive or dead.

They had already been in the territory of Wu Kingdom for over a year, yet they could not find the murderer.

According to the letter received by the tribal leadership, Ginjiro's killer was a young boy and he also wore a face mask with a cloth.

Due to the lack of information, eventually some of them infiltrated the Tsuki clan to find out there.

After a few months, they finally found out the identity of the little boy.

They are led by a red Shinobi also named Katashi, one of the red Shinobi whose Science is higher than the Ginjiro. Katashi immediately took the members away towards Yuan Xia's house.

"Whoever dares to deal with the Mori Tribe, then they will immediately feel the vengeance of the Mori Tribe, we will not let a single family live, so just wait for the death of all of you!" muttered Katashi and he sped up his movements to get to it faster, and they intended to attack Yuan Xia's rummy at midnight."
