A Journey Against the World
Chapter 125

"Have you heard?" asked one of the men dressed in black faded because too often in the hot sun makes the color of his clothes fade. The man looked at his co-worker.

"Sound what?" The questioner asked him back, making his partner a little confused, did his friend not hear the latest news?

"His Majesty Emperor Feng Kim, return to the throne." The man answered his theme question in a slightly taut tone.

"Huh? That's right you!" It was undeniable that the fellow was surprised to hear that, "Aren't you bragging?!" Thinking that his partner had just made up a joke story to cheer up their lonely atmosphere.

Increasingly furious at the attitude of his theme, the man slapped a punch at his comrade's head a little strongly, "Do I look like bragging! The big thing is that you said I was bragging about His Majesty!" resounding.

"Ughhh!" The man grimaced when his partner just hit him on the head. Rubbing his bald head, the man looked at his partner a little annoyed, "Is it your habit to keep hitting my head?" he poked his lips a little. Don't know why he thinks that lately his partner this one often hit his head.

Instead of feeling guilty, the man laughed loudly and loudly enough to make his partner look at him confused, "Hahaha, my hand so can't if it doesn't hit your bald head every time!" her laughter wiped the tears of laughter. Really moving.

"Ck! Laughing at the suffering of others, you really are the expert," the man sneered and unconsciously rubbed his hand against his bald head, "Talking about balding, put that aside first. I want to ask, is it true that His Majesty Emperor Feng Kim is back on the throne? Didn't His Majesty already rewind himself a year ago?" The bald man shifted the subject, saying it was more important to talk about Emperor Feng Kim than his bald head.

As the laughter from the man disappeared, it was as if his laughter just now was just a made up laugh. The man's serious face was clearly drawn, making his partner even more curious, "Yes. I just heard it today, yesterday was the day of His Majesty's ascension," he replied in a quite serious tone.

"It's only natural that if we just heard it today, we're at the border, it's hard to hear downtown news without government messages there." The bald man had no excuse, because he and other friends were in charge of guarding the border making the latest news in the city center would be difficult for them to hear.

"Not only that, I heard, Your Majesty sent a letter of emergency meeting with all the other leaders." Add the man again.

The bald man glared, "All the leaders? Wh why? Is there a commotion?!" the question was quite harsh because of the shock.

But due to the lack of information, as well as their distance too far from the city center, the man could only shake his head, "I don't know, but there could be a commotion."

"May there be a war?"

***

In front of the Xuilin kingdom, in front of the pulpit, marched hundreds of troops in bright silver armor due to the reflection of the sunlight. The hundreds of troops had stood for almost an hour waiting for the arrival of their leader, the Emperor.

On the podium near the field the soldiers stood, seen the officials and nobles were there, because today the all-officials and nobles-have to gather, requiring them to come.

The boisterous voice continued to sound, some were complaining as for those who were wondering. But when a man wore a golden embroidery, and a crown on his head, all the sounds instantly vanished. As if the figure came, is a figure that should not be disturbed by their voices.

The man for decades walked out of the palace towards the red pulpit. Near the figure of the man, there were two people escorting him punching the pulpit. When the figure of the man had risen above the pulpit, he turned to look at everyone present. A sharp and lively view, making some people understand, the figure has now changed from what it used to be, looks firm and authoritative.

Before the man raised his hand, everyone else called out respectfully to him loudly, "Honor Your Majesty the Emperor!"

The figure that the Emperor called out could only raise his hand with a flat face look, making all the standing officials and nobles sit back on their seats.

For a moment the man stared at the hundreds of troops in front of him, and did not forget to also look at the officials and nobles who were there, "I will announce one important thing today." Although the man only spoke in a soft voice, but his voice echoed to the corner of the podium. Slightly to everyone's surprise, their Emperor possessed an incredible skill set.

"As you've heard, soon we'll be at war." The Emperor looked at everyone, "And this war is no ordinary war. I declare a high-level alert status on the Xuilin Kingdom!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard Emperor Feng Kim's announcement, although there were some people who already knew that a war was going to happen, only they did not expect it, he said, Emperor Feng Kim said a high level of alert status to everyone present, as if to say that the war they were about to face was not a war they could, but a war that could actually be said to be a war of hell.

Although they were shocked, yet no one dared to make a sound let alone question the reason Emperor Feng Kim had said high-level alert status.

"I will be your leader in the battle this time," Emperor Feng Kim said, again making everyone shocked. It would be unexpected, that their leader who would intervene led his army.

"Is this not excessive?" ask one of the nobles.

"Your Majesty the Emperor came to war, I became more and more convinced that the war was indeed not a war can.'

"It's shocking, Your Majesty the Emperor will intervene. He should just sit back and wait for news."

"Maybe it's true, this war is not as simple as we think."

Phrase after phrase started floating in the air, still thinking that it shouldn't also be an Emperor to the point of having to intervene, let alone leave the kingdom? But seeing how seriously Emperor Feng Kim said, who could force the figure of the leader to sit quietly on his throne while waiting for news of the victory from his soldiers. Seems not Emperor Feng Kim doubted them so much, so he had to go down the lead?

Along with the emergence of questions of doubt and expressions of surprise everyone that Emperor Feng Kim will lead the battle troops, he said, came a black-robed alien figure wearing a devil-faced clay mask with two horns and fangs, as well as sharp red eyes glaring and tongues sticking out. The arrival of the figure approaching Emperor Feng Kim shocked all the eyes that saw it, but not for Emperor Feng Kim himself.

The appearance of the masked figure made many people angry at him for daring to wear such a mask in front of an Emperor. Where was the respect of that masked figure when facing the Emperor he did not reveal his identity!

Great General Feng held his sword, ready to attack that ignorant figure with his weapon. However just as he touched his sword, Emperor Feng Kim immediately made a sound.

"He was the one who brought the news of the war to me. You have to respect it just as you respect me," Emperor Feng Kim said, making everyone freeze on the spot with glaring eyes as if their eyes were about to pop out of his songket.

"Good God, didn't I hear you!? That figure is the bearer of the tidings of war!"

"Your Majesty declared his position equal to that figure!"

"Who! Who is that masked figure!? Is he a great swordsman!? It seems like that figure is very Your Majesty respects!"

The voice of questioning came back out from the many mouths that listened to Emperor Feng Kim's words just now. Not knowing how to express anymore, they were completely shocked in silence. How could the newly arrived mysterious figure be on par with the Emperor, and shock him again Emperor Feng Kim admitted it himself. It seemed that the officials, nobles, and soldiers wanted to ask Emperor Feng Kim a question, but who would dare to ask him?!

Unlike the Great General Feng, when he found out that the masked figure was a news anchor, of course he already knew who the figure behind the mask was.

'Heh, shut yourself up to avoid many gazes and questions. You are quite clever as well, ' Feng Xian chirped in his heart while staring at the masked figure who was now looking at so many people.

Emperor Feng Kim noticed the masked figure beside him, looking silent and calm, as if unconcerned with the gossip of the officials and nobles. Though Emperor Feng Kim had already forced him not to appear in front of the screen enough of himself that was complicated by the appearance of the sudden war announcement, but the violent head of the masked figure was indisputable, moreover, the figure reasoned to want to help his troops. Although Emperor Feng Kim did not know how the figure helped, but given how great and ingenious the figure made him have to think twice if it refused.

'Now what will he do?' asked Emperor Feng Kim in his heart.

Seeing the masked figure was just silent, making everyone who was there confused but did not dare to say anything. The pulpit now belonged to the masked figure, if he was silent it meant that there was something the figure was thinking about.

Long silent atmosphere rang out, Emperor Feng Kim intended to open his voice so as not to happen awkwardness. After all Emperor Feng Kim was aware, it seemed like the figure did not want to convey anything.

But who would have thought, when Emperor Feng Kim opened his mouth, the masked figure spoke and shocked everyone who heard it, including Emperor Feng Kim himself.

"The squad is very weak, will not be able to win," said the figure flatly. There is no wind no rain, suddenly lightning comes a surprise, that is the saying fit for the masked figure.

Everyone knew what the masked figure meant if not to demean the hundreds of soldiers in front of him, what else? Saying blatantly and loudly, made the flames of anger flare up from everyone. Tell him, who wouldn't be angry if suddenly denigrated for no reason?

Emperor Feng Kim as their leader was annoyed to hear it, his previously sparkling and hopeful gaze now turned dark and resentful. It could be seen Emperor Feng Kim's temples twitching, his neck veins also appeared even though he was still holding back his emotions.

Unlike the expression that Great General Feng put out, he seemed to cover his face in embarrassment, either ashamed to admit the weakness of the warrior or ashamed. Didn't he know he had offended Xuilin kingdom as a whole?

Instead of feeling guilty about his words, the masked figure again said, "It is better not to go to war than to die." Believe it or not everyone who hears it is getting a darker expression.

Emperor Feng Kim clenched his hands increasingly stronger, seeming the more prominent the veins, even the aura that Emperor Feng Kim let out grew increasingly grim and gripping.

Only Great General Feng could understand the masked figure's words, he wanted to move closer to the figure and said to insinuate even more subtly so that the gloomy aura that his brother released did not seep more and more. But .. whatever the power, even to step foot alone Feng Xian did not dare, his brother's aura was indeed frightening to make himself step.

'Oh, my God, what is he doing! Did he deliberately lure the lion out?!' peek Feng Xian hard in his heart as he stared at the masked figure with a hard to interpret look.

The masked figure snorted softly, "Not only are his soldiers weak, the leader is the same!" Okay this time the masked figure is indeed outrageous. Saying Emperor Feng Kim was weak, believe it or not the figure he said it was long before it would explode.

"What the fuck is this guy! It's acting so mysterious now even insulting! The basics are unclear!" swearing one of the officials who could no longer bear to hear humiliation after humiliation came out.

"Dare to say the Xuilin royal warrior is weak! Did he not know, even the four other countries also respected the strength of the Xuilin kingdom army!" sahut Minister Shen growled.

"He thinks he's as good as what? So arrogant to say the Xuilin royal army is weak! I'm sure, even against fifty soldiers he won't be able to!"

Anyone would also curse at the masked figure, not only being disrespectful and so arrogant, but also competing great. If only every one of the allurers was a sword, it was certain that the curse of everyone would cut the body of the masked figure roughly.

The masked figure boasted a faint smile behind his mask as he turned to look at Emperor Feng Kim who was looking down with a gripping aura surrounding his body. Instead of fearing that Emperor Feng Kim would get angry and beat him up, the masked figure added to the heat.

"I don't think you're weaker than I thought. Perhaps it will be better, you hide from the war" said the masked figure again in a cynical tone, even at the end of his speech he snorted softly, showing how much he was humbling Emperor Feng Kim along with his troops.

But, as the leader and role model of many societies, Emperor Feng Kim still held back his emotions not wanting his authority to be destroyed just because of the ravings. If only he had not appreciated the masked figure, believe it or not, Emperor Feng Kim would have already given him an attack.

Emperor Feng Kim raised his gaze, widening that smile so...It was horrible, "I don't know what you mean to say such a thing?" emperor Feng Kim pretended to be innocent, probably still wanting to understand the masked figure because he was older and more mature than that figure.

"You don't understand?" cynical of the figure, his hand quickly pulled something from within his robe and thrust it at Emperor Feng Kim, "I'm lowering your pride as Emperor!" firmly figure it out with a sentence quite surprising.

Emperor Feng Kim received one dagger with his right hand, seeing the masked figure's demeanor and gawk everyone knew that he was challenging Emperor Feng Kim and his troops to a fight. But wouldn't it be unfair for one to fight five hundred troops with its leader?

What does the masked figure want?!

Thinking Emperor Feng Kim would reject the challenge from the masked figure because he respected the figure as their messenger as well as their savior - for not knowing war would happen. But who would have thought, Emperor Feng Kim actually gave a terrible smile, making everyone guess Emperor Feng Kim accepted the challenge of the masked figure.

"How about, I challenge the foolish leader and his soldiers. If you don't dare to fight me alone, then you're not much different from the dogs in the forest," the cynical figure while in a haughty style.

Great General Feng intended to stop his brother, not what, it's just, it's not bad fellow enemies are each other let alone to have a fight. But for a moment he wanted to prevent a fight, the masked figure even gave him a sign not to interfere. Instantly Great General Feng felt his spirit wanted to come out seeing how stubborn his figure was.

'They both went crazy! Even though the Son is the same father, but even want to fight! Where is their sanity?! What exactly does that boy want to do!' cry Feng Xian in his heart.
