Chapter 17 - 17 THE WAR

Commander Lucifer quickly took the sword princess Chu Hua was hanging on her waist from its scabbard and replaced it with the new one he gave her. He then took her first sword and held it in his hand, making him have two swords. One on his hand and the other one on his waist.

They ran to the battlefield and commander Lucifer was shocked by what he saw. It wasn't the only Gapsin kingdom that came to fight, another kingdom joined the Gapsin men.

The Gapsin and the Mhezapa men set the formation they were going to match forward to where the Cyprus men were positioned.

The Cyprus men were also ready for the battle. Even though the people they are seeing before them, maybe more numerous than them, they can't surrender because of fear. This is between life and death. This is where warriors are identified.

The Gapsin men were also astonished to see the Cyprus men ready for them. They never knew that they would come and see them in this position.

Were they informed? Or is this how they are always ready for battles every day? Some Gapsin men began to imagine.

The Gapsin kingdom didn't expect it, but it seems like an angel was sent to inform them to plead for another kingdom to help them in the battle. Even though they knew that they could fight the Cyprus kingdom, they were still afraid because of one person, and that person was, commander Lucifer.

Prince Junfeng saw something about commander Lucifer when he was fighting Bojing, which no one saw. And that, triggered him to get scared of commander Lucifer.

Prince Junfeng had the plan to fight commander Lucifer because he was the strongest person in his kingdom, but he was beginning to get scared because of what he saw in commander Lucifer. He came up with a plan that most of his strongest men and the strongest men of the Mhezapa kingdom would go to fight commander Lucifer so that he can gain access to capture princess Chu Hua and king Cheng.

King Guozhi arrived at the battlefield on a chariot, while prince Junfeng came on his white horse. This time around, king Guozhi was with a spear, sword, and shield. With a helmet on his head. While prince Junfeng was only having a sword, shield, and helmet.

On the other side, king Cheng was on a brown skin horse. On his right hand was a sword and shield hanging on his horse and a helmet worn on his head.

Princess Chu Hua was with a sword that hasn't been revealed to anyone's sight. There was a shield on her left hand and a helmet on her right arm as she stood gallantly on the war front with commander Lucifer, king Cheng, her father, and Junjie, commander Lucifer's assistant.

Junjie was controlling the archers as directed by commander Lucifer. The Gapsin and the Mhezapa men began to match forward in unison to the Cyprus armies. On seeing this, Junjie stepped forward and said to commander Lucifer, "This will seems to be a tough battle, why would the princess stay back?"

"Don't worry about her. She will be fine and if the battle is getting out of hand, then I will need your help by taking her out. Don't go far from me so that I can speak to you if I need your assistance." Commander Lucifer responded.

"Alright, sir." Junjie bowed down and responded. Junjie stepped back to his position.

Commander Lucifer asked everyone who was holding his or her helmet in their hands to immediately put it on.

On getting to the middle of the battleground, the Gapsins and the Mhezapas men were stunned when they heard the Cyprus men singing with confidence. Commander Bengt ordered his men to wait a minute to figure out what was happening from the Cyprus armies.

What they heard was, "we shall conquer, conquer in the battle, if we stand our ground and take away fear, then we shall conquer." That was the song coming from the Cyprus army.

Immediately they ceased the song, Junjie raised his hand above his head and signaled the archers to get ready. After a few seconds of signal, he ordered, "fire!"

The archers released thousands of arrows, which took down many of the Gapsin men.

Unaware of the Gapsin men, some Cyprus men came out from nowhere behind them. They began to fight the Gapsins and the Mhezapas men, which brought confusion to their formation. The formation was scattered and the Cyprus men who were positioned on the other side began to march forward to the Gapsin men who were already fighting some of their men.

Before one could notice, the Cyprus troops had reached where the Gapsin and the Mhezapa men were. Everyone around princess Chu Hua almost fell to the ground when she brought out the sword given to her, commander Lucifer. The lightning of the sword was too powerful for anyone to withstand.

Even her men were shocked to see such a sword. So, king Cheng was also surprised.

Commander Lucifer was in disbelief. He had used the sword only once, but it wasn't lightning like that of thunder as it is now.

The enemies began to flee from her side. Those that had the nerve to confront her were taken down by the sword. The Gapsin and the Mhezapa men were terrified to go close to her.

Thousands of the strongest men of Gapsin and the Mhezapa kingdom's men gathered around commander Lucifer to fight him.

Thanks to the two swords he was using, he was able to slaughter anyone who came close to him. Not only thanks to the swords, but he was also like a lion when he was fighting them.

Commander Lucifer didn't notice what was happening. His enemies were scared to approach him after fighting many of them. He thought that they were scared to approach him because he was winning them. Not knowing that, he was in the form of a lion. Everyone was seeing him in the form of a lion, while he was seeing himself in a human form.

Prince Junfeng was fighting harder to get to where the princess was, but fear always took the best of him when he was about to get close to her. Her sword was the issue here. Prince Junfeng was afraid of the sword because of its magical powers.

King Guozhi was also fighting harder to get to king Cheng. So, also was king Cheng fighting harder to get to king Guozhi.

Junjie on the other side was trying to get access to approach commander Bengt, but it was tough for any of them to easily have access to his target because the battlefield was filled with numerous warriors that one can easily move.

Thanks to princess Chu Hua's sword and commander Lucifer's transformation, they were sure of winning the battle. But no one knows what will happen next.

The groaning and moaning of the wounded men can be heard from the battleground. Blood was flowing on the ground like water. Blood stains on weapons, like white clothes that are stained with red color paint.

Everyone was fighting tirelessly. No surrender, no retrieve. Even if one may see his colleague crying for help, there is nothing anyone can do. The battle must be conquered before wounded victims can be considered.

The more princess Chu Hua fought, the more the power of the sword was getting weaker. The same thing applied to commander Lucifer. The more he fights, the more he gets weak. He hasn't experienced such a thing in a war before

Princess Chu Hua wasn't getting tired of fighting. She felt like fighting until sunset. When she noticed that the sword was getting weak, a glimpse of fear flashed through her mind.
