Chapter 20 - Great war memory (1)

In the morning elsewhere in Elder Gon's residence, Yona also came to her senses, she felt that her head was still very dizzy, the effect of the medicine was really strong.

Her two best friends fell asleep sitting next to her, they woke up feeling Yona's movement.

"Yona, you're awake!" Lin and Sely's eyes lit up and immediately hugged Yona happily.

"Thank you for worrying about me." Yona smiled faintly, her body still a little weak.

"How is the condition?" Yona continued curious about what happened that night, at that time she was only half conscious, and her consciousness vanished completely when she saw the figure dressed in all blue fighting with Doris and company.

"Everything is fine miss, the three bastard's friends have died and the bastard himself has been given a severe punishment," Sely replied with an ugly face while slightly snorting in anger.

"So like that!" Yona felt very relieved, but the image of the faces of Doris and his companions was still vivid in her mind, when she saw the image her head throbbed slightly and her body trembled, the trauma she felt was deep.

"Miss, are you all right?" Lin asked with a worried look on her face, "Mmm, I'm fine." Yona replied hiding her fear, she didn't want to see her two friends getting worried.

At the same time, Yona suddenly thought of Yashu, "Hope he's fine too." Yona's mind still felt guilty for Yashu.

Returning to the residence of the first elder...

"Sorry to have worried you, first elder!" Yashu finally admitted his true identity, but deep down he also missed the first elder.

The relationship between the two in the past was more than just teacher and student, Elder Kross himself had considered Yashu as his grandson, as well as Yashu who respected him so much.

Elder Kross looked at Yashu with teary eyes, although he never thought Yashu was dead, he also never expected to see him again.

The meeting was filled with mixed emotions, longing, sadness, and joy as if it was a meeting between families after a long separation.

Yet those heartwarming emotions had to break out when an unexpected voice appeared among themselves.

"Krrrooock!"

It was the sound of Yashu's stomach starting to rebel against the bill, and of course, it made Yashu's face turn a little red with embarrassment.

"Haha, it seems your stomach won't allow it to dissolve into sorrow, but you don't have to worry, since this old man has already prepared your favorite meal." Said the first elder while releasing a faint smile.

Hearing that Yashu nodded quickly, although a little embarrassed, he wouldn't refuse.

On the dining table, a whole roasted venison was already available, when Yashu saw it, his red eyes immediately sparkled with the black cloth covering it, it was his favorite food.

Without waiting for anything else, he immediately jumped up and sat down, "Can I eat it now!" Yashu asked impatiently.

Elder Kross could only nod lightly, he could see Yashu's childish nature when dealing with his favorite food.

And without waiting for anything else, Yashu immediately ate his roast deer voraciously, he could even finish it alone in less than 3 minutes, You can imagine how fast he ate it.

Elder Kross was slightly dumbfounded, nothing had changed with Yashu. At least in terms of eating.

"Finally I can feel alive again!" Yashu patted his slightly bloated stomach.

"Elder, thank you very much, you saved my life," Yashu said sincerely, it wasn't only because of the food but also because of what happened last night.

If Elder Kross had not come, Yashu would not have been able to imagine what would have happened after that.

"You don't have to be shy, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do." Elder Kross replied casually.

A few moments later, Elder Kross began to open his conversation seriously.

"Yashu I want to ask you some important things, this is related to the great war 3 years ago...!"

Yashu nodded, he didn't mind talking about it, moreover, he was also able to convey some of the oddities that occurred in the great war.

The seated Elder Kross immediately stood up, stepped slowly towards the open window behind him, then stared intently at Yashu.

"Perhaps you also know, when the great war broke out between the empires of the southern continent, many casualties fell, and because the war lasted long enough to make food supplies in each empire run out, as well as many other terrible effects.

As the result, all the empires finally agreed to make peace, but as a condition, the party with the higher percentage of losses was still at a loss.

Some territories have been taken over by the side that has a higher chance of winning.

But that's not all I want to tell you, because our real defeat wasn't because our troops' combat strength was low, but rather that there were rebels within our empire.

"I thought you also knew something when the great war broke out."

"Also, you should know that the rebel gang is also in our clan, now that I have created a special team to monitor them, I will also include you in the team."

At the end of his sentence, Elder Gon's voice became cold and heavy, he knew Yashu was one of the generals who had five thousand elite troops and was at the forefront when the great war broke out, which indirectly made Yashu one of the figures most involved in the great war, and should have realized something.

Yashu closed his eyes lightly, a sharp look appeared on his face.

"I thought so too, and that's the reason why I came back to this place with this appearance, then about the cause of all my troops died, I don't mind telling you all about it." Yashu's voice was as cold as ice and as heavy as a rock the size of a house.

Yashu closed his eyes before explaining all the events that had happened to him during the great war, the image of his sad memory was now clearly vivid in his head again.

***

3 years ago ...

Great war...

At night, in the middle of a forest that covers thousands of kilometers, Yashu and his 5,000 elite troops decided to rest.

The higher-ups who were in the main tent were busy devising a battle strategy for the next day.

"According to the reconnaissance squad, the enemy with 10,000 troops will reach the valley within 3 days, and they are most likely an elite force on the front line as well."

One of the higher-ups who were slightly skinny pointed at the map, he explained to his comrades who were currently in the main tent, including Yashu who is the highest general in the army.

"10,000 troops?" The higher-ups who heard the report whispered to each other, they were considering the enemy's abilities.
