The Swordsman of the Gods

019. What Are the Benefits of Starting a War?

On what basis did he say that he would overthrow the empire?

There are not many reasons to look for such reckless actions. Other than what happened to Leader Luo, killing himself yet everyone only knew that Luo was killed by someone who reached the stage of nirvana. Logical things turn into facts, residents believe it just like that.

On the other hand, Wang Xian told the truth that Leader Luo committed suicide. I don't know because of what but what he knows, his intention is to bring down an outsider. Yongchuun.

Luo had indeed committed suicide. But it was not his fault, it was Yongchun who saved him. But why does it happen like this?

“This emperor alone covers what is really happening to the population. How can I believe that the eastern country will merge with only a marriage?”

That's not wrong either. Yongchun knew very well. Including when he first came here, when he met Crow or Bing He other names.

It was clear that Bing He was a spy sent by Emperor Ming to the middle east. Under the pretext of looking for a wise leader to mediate what has happened in the northeast region. But after all was over, Bing He was easily thrown away.

As if it was no longer useful.

“He is not fit to be a ruler!”

“Lantas, what are you going to do to bring down the Emperor?”

“Without the help of others, I definitely can't. That's why, I asked the cult leaders to be on my side,” Yongchun said.

“Only because of Luo's problem did you? Hey, there are times when a ruler hides something from the people for their common good.”

“Then, why did Leader Wang kill Leader Luo?”

Sure enough, Yongchun knew that Leader Wang killed Leader Luo. He knew thanks to Bing He.

But isn't it clear? The cult leaders were in a cold war with each other. They fought not in the Power Stone Arena, but instead made their respective residences as battlefields themselves.

Leader Xie knew that had happened. Even if it was true that they were fighting, on the one hand he wondered, why did Emperor Ming hide this?

“Leader Wang knows who I really am. Leader Wang also knows my true nature. Although not all ...” said Yongchun wily.

“Do you know where Wang Xian killed Luo?” ask Xie.

“Know from my old friend.”

“If it is true they fight–”

“Ah! No!” Yongchun cut out Xie's sentence. “They didn't fight. Leader Wang used me as the assassin Leader Luo and his followers. That's bad, isn't it?” yongchun.

“From friends, yes. Then if you don't think Emperor Ming deserves to be the ruler for lying to the people then what about you? Who has left your own territory? With your coming here, it's been as proof that you ran away from your responsibilities!” syndicate Xie.

That's painful indeed. But that's the truth. Leaving the middle east region, even though he was a ruler there. He is responsible for all the lives of the people.

“I left them doesn't mean I just left them. There's an old leader there. After all I just want the east to be calmer with peace without war if I can,” Yongchun said.

“He left me out of words. Really brazen! Fucking guy! What's on his mind right now, anyway!?” In his mind Leader Xie, he grumbled because all of those words were reciprocal which he had already understood.

“Hey, listen yes! Ashura, the ruler of the middle eastern region! Even if you leave them together with the old leader, do you intend to just believe it?! Whereas you yourself know that the ties of brotherhood between cult leaders are broken!” amuk Xie's.

“It's a pity that they don't get along. Which was unlike Leader Zhao with this Leader Xie Xie. I have been betrayed by my friends many times. But I'm trying to get back to trusting them, at least so the war doesn't happen again. Am I wrong?”

It may sound naive, but this is how the rulers of the middle east. Who is rumored to be cruel, ruthless, have no conscience? The slightest mercy?

This time whatever Yongchun directly said, was completely inversely proportional to what Leader Xie Xie had heard.

“Why can you trust them ...even after they've betrayed you? Ashura ..” His angle of view decreased, the gaze was clear in disbelief.

“Leader Xie, for now call me Wang Yongchun. Then, I wish we could get along in the future. Because of me if you're a very good person.”

Yongchun smiled. The expression is clearly visible. Relia smiled with relief at her. Likewise with Xie Xie, he still could not believe that even his eyes had twitched.

Xie threw his face away, sitting in a comfortable chair with a feeling of uneasiness.

“Why can he say that so easily? Is he stupid? Overthrow the empire with the help of cult leaders? I will not necessarily join him, though I hope that peace is truly achieved in this era. But he told me his plan? Who at any time can I report this to the Emperor? He's kidding, yeah, shit!”

Leader Xie is fucked. Lin Lin became confused by the situation today.

“Whatever you say to me, Wang Yongchun! Or even Asyura! I as the cult leader in the 6th position, although not as strong as them, I also hope this country is peaceful. But think back, what can you do other than ask for our help that won't even necessarily side with you?”

“If there is one of them who wants to achieve peace, I am really lucky because the one who dies is only the Emperor. But if there is none at all, and you choose to be my enemy. Then don't expect everything to be okay, Leader Xie Xie.”

His two eyebrows seemed to fuse together as the man's forehead wrinkled. He pointed out that at the moment he feels sad that the second choice really happened. The gaze of grief, already engulfed by the rot in the war.

War is without rules. No one knows when death will come. When he was at war, he never closed his eyes properly. Except when he was dying in silence.

Hiding wounds even though it is impossible, betrayed is willing.

Order ...

“Leader Xie Xie, there is one thing I want to ask. What do you get after winning a war? The gold? The soil? Or what?”

Peace can be achieved without war. What should Yongchun (Ashura) do other than trust someone who will one day need someone's help?

Killing is endless. There is also only revenge.

The question of the man who said he was cruel even made the heart of a leader beat faster. Non-polytic.

“Whispering! There go!”

Leader Xie was enraged with a momentary feeling of admiration. He drove Yongchun away by kicking him out while the blizzard was still brewing.
