In an army belonging to Nuvoleon, they all seemed to be doing nothing, sitting down, building tents while waiting for something like an order. Moreover, they were also waiting for the arrival of the ten master troops who were said to be circling the mountain and rising from the northern lane to attack the troops. But .... where? They all felt like they were being fooled by general Tamichi. In fact, they had not at all suspected that their troops were actually given a fake news story.
It's also already noon, almost a full day they've been waiting for so long.
“Look, one of us returns to face the emperor to bring in a new general to lead the army. Just say that general Tamichi is leading half the army to secure Apiluc inside, while we are outside.” Said one of them.
Those who heard what his partner said nodded, what was said is indeed true, if they stay here and do not move at all, then it is really boring. Moreover, they were given tasks that were not so clear.
“Wait a minute!” Shouted someone in imperial warrior clothes who was approaching the army ranks belonging to the empire of Nuvoleon. The clothes look very shabby like they have done a big fight.
“We have won, about 1500 troops belonging to Nuvoleon has secured Mount Apiluc. It is certain that no army of Mr. Ten returned close, because they have been cleaned up.” The new guy explained.
“Really?” Other soldiers made sure.
“Yaa, the Ten Lord's troops who were supposed to pass through the northern lane to attack from behind, they changed their minds as their spies said there were about thousands of troops guarding the northern lane. Fortunately, the change of plan of lord Ten was not successful, so it really made us win.” Envoy Dareen explained with deceit, trying to string the words together as best he could so that the troops in front of him would just believe.
But suddenly the movement of lightning struck Dareen's messenger so quickly, that even the soldiers saw a bolt of lightning that went along with the flash. The soldiers who saw it instantly retreated because they did not know, just now what was it? However, they immediately raised their swords, as what was feared turned out to be an enemy that suddenly attacked.
“Fake information.”
The figure of an adult man with a familiar stature in the eyes of the troops was currently standing beside a corpse that was none other than the messenger Dareen or the lord of the Ten. Corpse, well he was dead in one attack, how not, his head broke out the contents. Maybe it was because of the attack of the adult man.
“General Tamichi?” They said as if they could not believe.
General Tamichi, more precisely he is a clone of Tamichi made by Zeno. He turned around and looked at his troops so coldly.
Tamichi's clone sighed, at least none of his troops frowned as if suspecting the figure of him. Maybe because this clone is absolutely perfect and it makes no difference to Tamichi
“He is a squad of Ten masters in disguise. But take it easy, we are already close to winning, but there are some troops on the other side who are already at the top, and we will attack them to protect the golden lotus flower.” Clone Tamichi explained.
Spontaneously, Tamichi replied, “Iya, the news does not lie. I ordered one of the soldiers who accidentally was there to inform you.”
The troops sighed, at least the first information was not fake so they were a little relieved. But what they regretted was believing the new information. Fortunately, Tamichi came in early and said the information. Even if they don't know the truth.
“Lantas, whose side is already at the top?” Ask one of them.
Tamichi's clone shook his head as he replied, “I don't know exactly whose side is at the top. Not from the lord side of Ten, but clearly this is the other party.”
“Thank you Mr. Ten, if it wasn't for you, I couldn't carry out my plan either.” The tamichi clone was wrapped around with a smile, but not so wide that it would be considered strange by his troops.
“Alright, we'll be departing from the west line soon. Because if we go through the northern route, then there will be a sea of corpses due to war.”
The entire army nodded, until they finally departed and obeyed what the Tamichi general said, namely through the western route. So, they would definitely circle a quarter of the mountain first.
There was another reason why General Tamichi's clone did not bring his troops on the northern path, because it would definitely be very dangerous. Meeting the lord of ten is not something that is very good and will deviate from Zeno's strategy. Therefore, General Tamichi brought them from the western route.
“Successful.” Zeno said softly with a big smile, sensing that the Tamichi clone he had created could do its job without any suspicion from the troops. But this was only the first step, he did not know in the future.
Turse who heard it was also a little relieved, at least the first start could run so smoothly without any obstacles. So this time, he could relax a little more, because everything was taken care of by the Tamichi clone made by Zeno.
Well relax, Zeno and Turse are sitting on the riverbank with a waterfall that looks so beautiful. Indeed, being determined to do something is permissible, but he also realizes there is a time to relax first to calm his mind.
Lucky before he had found a waterfall in the middle of the thick trees. With the sound of a waterfall makes the atmosphere look so pleasant for Zeno. rarely he visits the waterfall. Especially Turse, only this time he saw a waterfall. How not? The mountains on the continent of Artrik there are no waterfalls at all, maybe if there were, surely it would freeze due to the cold temperatures.
Zeno put his hand into the river, feeling the rushing stream of the river. It felt so cold, even Zeno was eager to jump into the river. At the very least, he wanted to let go of the fatigue and cleanse from the already dried sweat. Naturally, it had been a few days that he had not taken a bath at all.
Unfortunately, he was quite embarrassed when he saw a woman like Turse. Maybe if he was alone, then without thinking long, take off his clothes and jump straight towards the river. So he chose to abandon his intentions.
