Invaders

Outside the pavilion, small droplets of rain started to fall. Princess Hong Mei glanced at the window and for some unknown reason, her attention is drawn to the tiny figures of birds flocking around the sky.

It was as if her instinct is telling her that such sight was not a good sign. Perhaps it was an omen for a bad day? Jia Liuha also noticed and looked at the window for a while. The two continue to eat and savor the food quietly until an advisor of Emperor Hong Te arrived and breaks the silence.

"Princess, an urgent report from the border entrance says that they have spotted several troops going towards our empire. They suspected that these people would invade our territories tonight!"

"How many invaders?" Princess Hong Mei asked and placed down the glass of water that she was about to drink. Her instinct was correct!

Invasion of empires is not an uncommon thing during ancient times. And since Princess Hong Mei came from the digital age, she had read so many history books about wars in her history class. So the report did not frighten her.

"According to the report, it says about 2,500 enemies." the servant responded.

The Hong Empire is the smallest among the six empires in Region S. They rely mainly on business and did not have a formidable military people unlike the Empire of Ning. Princess Hong Mei is not also good in ancient battles but during her former life, she had a fair share of experience in online war games.

'But could my online gaming knowledge be enough?' she secretly asked herself.

The only advantage they have is that there are groups of diverse people with different abilities who can be their ally when an attack happens.

"Our Empire is small that even with just 1,000 enemies, our guards and soldiers can probably not stand. Make a quick announcement to the capital. Whoever is willing to fight along with our soldiers will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins for each person. Bring them here." Princess Hong Mei instructed the advisor.

Emperor Hong Te had been dependent on her when it comes to matters concerning their kingdom. She also decided to get involved with her second world the very day she transmigrated.

Not long after, there are twenty willing men in front of her. The numbers are too few yet it is better than having nothing.

"I have a proposition. An enemy is about to invade our empire thus, we needed your assistance in keeping the capital safe. If you managed to stay alive after this fight, you shall receive the reward of a full one thousand gold coins for each of you. But if you die, you can only blame your bad luck. Do we have a deal?" Princess Hong Mei told them directly.

"Yes. We will fight to protect this empire." the men agreed in chorus without a hint of hesitation.

Some of these men were exiled from their empire and seek a new beginning in the Empire of Hong. After knowing that a group of enemies is coming over, they instantly agreed to fight along. Then there are also the six sword masters that she had met before.

"Alright, we have approximately 2,500 enemies. I need to know your ability so that we can give maximum damage to the enemies." Princess Hong Mei started to speak like someone leading a squad or a guild towards a dungeon quest.

Upon hearing the numbers of the enemies, the men were slightly surprised but did not lose morale.

"Princes, the three of us are archers."

"I am an archer too."

"Princes, we are Sword Masters."

"Princess, I am good with poison."

After the abilities were all introduced to her, she devised quick planning on her head. And then she told them what to do.

"Sister, what's going on?" After the men left, Jia Liuha asked the princess.

"An enemy attack at the border." Princess Hong Mei casually responded.

Jia Liuha nods her head, "But the mister who sent me here said that nobody would dare mess up with your Hong Empire or else they will pay a large sum."

Princess Hong Mei smiled at Jia Liuha and replied, "They will pay."

"I can also fight, sister."

"I know." Princess Hong Mei said and then pondered for a while. "If the soldiers got defeated and the enemy reached here, you can fight against them..." she added.

"Yes." Jia Liuha replied.

About several miles away from the border, there are indeed military men going towards the Hong Empire carrying a red flag in front. It was an indication that their goal is to destroy the Hong Empire!

These men are the soldiers allocated by Emperor Chi Xing to assist the Soul Practitioners in taking revenge on the Empire of Hong. Despite the rain, they did not stop and still marched forward.

When they reached the border, the Hong soldiers were already on alert. It was dark and foggy. The night had just arrived.

The weather and time are not ideal to battle for the soldiers but it is a great advantage to the Soul Practitioners.

"Invaders are here! Prepare!" A signal was shouted from one of the Hong soldiers but nothing follows. All of the soldiers at the border stood still and just stare blankly in space.

Within a few minutes, the Soul Practitioners were able to possess the soldiers of the Hong Empire then they started to enter the kingdom.

As the invaders arrived at the capital of Hong, the civilians had already gone into hiding. The bustling city is now empty. They continued to march towards the palace when suddenly one of them was dropped dead on the ground. If only they had paid close attention, they would be able to see an arrow was stuck right on his forehead. Unfortunately, it was dark and they did not notice that this comrade just died.

The marching continues when some of them started to scratch their skin. "Why is the rain feels itchy?" One of the invaders muttered complain.
