Chapter 38 - Road to Ru Nan

Despite the fierce fighting ensuing for several instances. With both sides exhausting their stamina to the point of breaking. No clear winner emerged. Despite killing two of the three Undead General. I've suffered some set backs of my own. With barely any moment to catch my breath , the last Undead General kept relentlessly charging right at me.

In a moment of carelessness the Last Undead General slipped forward lunging his body forward. I took that chance , slicing his head clean of his neck from beneath him before dodging right to avoid his dead corpse falling into the ground .

The Corpse General Shouted in anger at the deaths of his Undead Generals. He ordered his minions watching me , to charge right as I about to catch my breath. A spear stabbed through my left leg. I don't even have the time to react to my injured leg as an arrow struck my back. One after the other arrow after arrow came flying towards me.

I managed to make a slight movement before the arrows hit their marks. Suffering several scratches all over my torso. I threw my dagger towards the Corpse General hoping I could at the very least take him down with me.

I can't believe what I saw. The Corpse Generals arms extended itself, then he swung his arm around him creating a small wind barrier. He deflected the dagger I threw at him with immense speed and precision.

My body gave up from beneath me , as I collapse into the ground from fatigue. Just before the world around me turned black , I heard a loud scream. It says nothing but one word " Attack ". In a fiery passion the voice echoed through out the battlefield as sounds of dying soldiers follows.

.....

Suddenly I lost consciousness , as my tired battered and bruised body fell into the ground. All I can see is the endless darkness of the void . I couldn't hear , I couldn't feel anything. I'm simply talking to myself within this never ending darkness. After a brief moment , I suddenly awoken , my vision became blurry as I struggle to move.

I've put on a much heavier burden upon my body , and now I'm paying the price of my recklessness. As I'm about fell to sleep once more I heard voices all around me , conversing with each other. There are a few people talking over me. I don't know where this is or what happened to me .

I tried my best to regain my senses , and there I heard them clearly as I kept my body from moving an inch to not draw attention to myself. I listen in upon their conversation.

" What are we supposed to do now !"

" How should I know , You're the one who lead us here in the first place !"

" Silence both of you !"

" Your going to wake him up !"

" Maybe its better if he wakes up , then we can know what we are supposed to do now !"

" Shut it , your disturbing his rest !"

I recognize these voices ! Its them , Its Xi an !

" Who do you think you are !"

Xi an

" I'm Lord Jin's vassal ."

" Just because I let you stay here doesn't mean you can just run your mouth as you please ! "

Jane

" Why you arrogant little !!!

Ae Ri

" Enough Jane ."

Jane

" But ... "

Ae Ri

" I said enough !"

Jane

" Sorry ."

Ae Ri

" Sir Xi an , I'm sorry for my friends lack of courtesy ."

" Thank you very much for letting us travel with you ."

Xi an

" Don't mention it , its dangerous for your small group to travel alone ."

" Especially since those monsters came and assaulted and massacred the citizen within Xu Chang City ."

Mo Xiao Qi

" But sir Xi an , how is brother Jin's condition ?"

" Will he be okay ?"

Xi an

" I'm sure he's going to be fine after he gets some rest ."

" He's the toughest person I know ."

Mo Xiao Qi

" I hope so I'm really worried about him ."

Xi an

" By the way I have to ask what are your relations with Lord Jin ? "

Mo Xiao Qi

" Well lets start with introducing ourselves to each other ."

" We weren't able to formally introduce our identity to each other ."

Xi an

" Fine , then I'll start first, My name is Xi an I'm one of the two vassals currently serving Lord Jin ."

" The other vassal is Xue Bai , the two of us first met Lord Jin at the battle of Yan Province where the three of us fought together against Lu Bu's forces under the Wei Army ."

" We became close friends after he saved my life , when I fell into the enemy's cunning trap ."

" I decided to serve Lord Jin after fighting along side him through many battles, I understand that he is the person I want to serve ."

" We split up when he said he had something to take care of ."

" So we decided to go to Xu Chang City as per his orders , there We waited for his arrival . Suddenly the monsters attacked the City and the town went into disarray."

" And that's were we met you girls ."

" Well that's my story ."

" So how about you , what's your story ."

Mo Xiao Qi

" My name Is Mo Xiao Qi , I came from the Mo family a vassal family of the Cao Clan."

" My group were attacked by bandits , so myself and a few others managed to narrowly escape ."

" However just before we reached Xu Chang City , we were attacked by assassins sent by one of my uncles."

" My bodyguards were all killed trying to help my escape ."

" As I was cornered by them , and lost all hope he suddenly appeared in front of me ."

" He stood tall in front of me , killing all of the assassins while protecting me ."

" Afterwards we spoke with one another on our way to Xu Chang City . "

" Then we went our separate ways ."

" I tried to resolve my family's internal conflict , however to no avail ."

" And that's how my story with him went ."

Xi an

" So you were the reason for his delay ."

Mo Xiao Qi

" What do you mean ?"

Xi an

" Jin departed for the award ceremony earlier than expected , he told us that he had an urgent matter to attend to ."

" Then he blitz through the way to Xu Chang City , however instead of arriving at Xu Chang City , he went into the forest that Miss Mo Xiao Qi previously mentioned ."

Mo Xiao Qi

" Now that I think about it , he said that he was on his way to Xu Chang City for the award ceremony ."

" But somehow he made his way into the forest instead of the main road ."

Xi an

" Huh ?"

" I thought he went there specifically to help you ? "

Mo Xiao Qi

" But that's impossible , because the route I'm taking to escape the assassins are hidden deep within the forest , its impossible to find on your own ."

Ae Ri

" So sir somehow managed to find miss Mo in the forest just in time to save her , yet he had no prior contact with miss Mo and no information regarding her location , yet somehow he arrived ."

" I guess either he knew the plot before hand , or he had a sudden premonition or a gut feeling as one might say ."

Xi an

" So based on a gut feeling he ride of on his own to an unknown place and fight against unknown people on impulse ."

" Well I guess that's less farfetch then him knowing the plot before hand ."

" I mean I've been with him since the conscription training ."

Mo Xiao Qi

" I guess that's a reasonable assumption ."

Ae Ri

" So its my turn now , I guess ."

" I was capture by a certain organization along side my friends and many others ."

" While our group were out on patrol we ran into Sir Jin ."

Mo Xiao QI

" So how did that go ."

" My guess is your group tried to attack him , then he annihilated you in battle before making you submit to him ."

Ae Ri

" Well , you're mostly correct ."

" However we weren't forced into submission , he simply liberated us along side our other comrades from the treacherous organization ."

Xi an

" That does sound like what he'll do , he's kind to those who deserve it ,yet he will destroy any and all of his enemies ."

Ae Ri

" Afterwards we gathered those who are willing to join him at the south gate of Xu Chang City ."

" After getting as much supplies as we can, we awaited for his arrival before we could make our escape from the city ."

" And that's were the three of us met with each other ."

" At first I was surprised when you suddenly moved your troops towards the flare , but I guess its a good thing since we managed to get there in time to save sir Jin ."

" By the way I have to ask , did you kill all of the monsters present there ?"

Xi an

" Yes of course we did , they might become a problem later on if we didn't kill them all ."

Ae Ri

" So what are we supposed to do now ?"

Xi an

" For now we are going somewhere save for the time being ."

" I heard rumors that those monsters have taken over almost all of the north western part of China ."

" The Warlords have gathered their forces to stand against them ."

" We will be joining the battle at the City of Ru Nan ."
