Chapter 73 - WAR(II)

The trooper holding the flag has his face wrapped in a cloth. It's a red cloth whose end is swaying to his quirky movements while fighting and dodging the enemies. As they reached the central point of the palace, it slowly slid down revealing his face.

The men of Shivraj were shocked to see the face unveiled. They have been thinking that this person had died long ago. Having fought alongside him, they know his abilities and so they felt very delighted to see Raghu again.

Raghu guided Maira to the Jasmine kingdom and had been filling her mind with all the secrets he knows of, of the kingdom. He covered his face with the cloth to make himself unrecognisable as per the deception, Maira planned for the enemies in the palace.

Seeing Raghu from a distance boosted the energy in Shivraj's men. Their hopes for getting back their lost freedom raised up to the sky. It is just a few feet away and every inch of their bodies screamed of vengeance for everything the kingdom has lost.

Nodding at each other, they dispersed to join the army proudly pinning the badge of Jasmine to their chests once again. This time they are sure it's either the freedom or a warrior's death.

Maira and Ashmita are moving towards the main palace, ruthlessly killing the enemies coming in their way there. Raghu, Ashmita and Veda are shielding Maira from any hurdles.

Mounting his horse, Minister Khan waited in the palace expecting the enemies. He is wearing an unbuttoned army jacket of Rose Kingdom with a longsword in his hand. His greasy dark hair is falling onto the face sideways covering his forehead.

Maira looked at him from a distance and continued heading towards him without hesitation. She kept her sight upon him and didn't even blink her eyes. When she is a few yards away from him, he smirks.

Maira sensed something and stopped the horse from moving any inch further which made it trip causing her to crash to the floor.

The path in front of her is fully covered with long sharp nails. That sight in front of her is totally unexpected and she was stunned. Before she comes back to her senses, a rain of arrows is already approaching her.

She grabbed a shield from her horse's side and covered herself, chanting an arrow reflection spell. In the instant, all the arrows flew back and struck the enemies' throats causing them to bite the dust.

The evil smirk on the Minister's face vanished in the blink of an eye as he could not comprehend what just happened in front of his eyes. He stood there dumbstruck.

Maira stood up, turned to him and suddenly started running towards him without any care for the nails. Mysteriously, every nail lying on the surface sank into the stone floor yet they're still visible inside the floor.

Khan woke up from his stupor and defended Maira's ferocious blow. He started attacking her and she dodged his attacks smoothly.

Ashmita and Veda are fighting the enemies, attacking from all corners. They are defending themselves from the attacks by moving swiftly. They're observing Maira's situation and were relieved when Maira smoothly resolved the situation.

Maira is far away from them and she is vigorously dodging Khan's attacks. Maira is estimating how strong Khan is by watching him strike. Thus she quickly understood one thing about his way of attacking which can come of an advantage to her.

Khan striked more intensely with every passing second. He was losing his cool gradually and started attacking Maira madly. Maira smirked expecting he will be done with his facade in a few more minutes and his real self will open.

MEANWHILE, Prathap is playing with Minister Varma with his ninja skills. He is laying traps for Varma where Varma is directly walking into them and getting out by using his enormous strength. He is laying simple and small traps which would require large amounts of strength.

Varma with his huge body and energy, breaking every trap and is getting frustrated with every passing time. Prathap knows very well how to get others frustrated.

MINISTER Damu is also having a hard time fighting Vijay. Vijay is well known for his swordsmanship and Damu is trying his best to defeat vijay.

Vijay is moving very fast and is injuring Damu in every possible way, getting him drenched in his own blood. Damu's eyes are burning with anger.

Damu charged towards Vijay with all his might aiming the sword at him. Vijay also leaped onwards to end this insect.

Both of them collided and Vijay kneeled down and blood started spilled down on the ground.

"Commander!" Vijay troop members shouted.

JUST like Karthik, minister Rao is also skilled with knives. Rao, being a bit more experienced than Karthik, is giving him a tough time.

Karthik is already injured by minister Rao. This time Karthik is feeling satisfied by his opponent. He never showed all his power to anyone but now Rao is making him break his mask and show his real self.

Karthik is attacking with full satisfaction and he is using all his techniques and skills against his opponent. This time he is not backing down.

For a soldier meeting an opponent who is stronger than him increases his desire to win.

Their analysis about fighting the Rose Army is correct. They are just as strong as described by Oak and his techniques and suggestions for the war, gave them more confidence to win the war.

"Come.. come.. is this all you got bastards!? What a bunch of.." before Rao finished his sentence, Karthik leaped towards him.

Both of their swords collided and they both fighted with all their might.

Rao's energy also deteriorated due to his intense usage of energy and is already gasping for air. So he insulted the opponent to get his temper lost and kill him at once.

But to his disbelief Karthik did not surrender to his insults and he is fighting with cool.

SHILPA secretly aimed her arrows along with her troop and reduced the count of the Rose soldiers.

She is hiding at the entrance and guarding area. She is making sure that the enemy is not escaping from this kingdom today.

While she is guarding carefully she observed that from the distance, an army is coming towards Jasmine Kingdom.

'What is happening? Is anybody else coming for our aide or is that the Rose army?' Shilpa thought to herself and turned ice by the thought of it being an enemy troop.

She signalled her troop to aim towards the coming army. Before they released the arrows a flag caught her eyes.

"Stop!" Shilpa signalled her troop.

'Is that the flag of the Cosmos kingdom ? What is that doing here?' Shilpa thought to herself.

"Commander. That is the Cosmos kingdom's flag!" one of her troop's members reported aloud.
