Chapter 5 : The 10 Rings

Around a thousand years ago, there was once a legendary and near mythical figure named Xu Wenwu. It was said that he as an ancient warrior and powerful warlord was unparalleled on the battlefield, he used his own powers to conquer whole countries and established the ten rings army. Under him were thousands of men willing to obey his every command to the letter. Even if it meant their demise, you could see no hesitation in them.

However, over the course of the years in his reign, it was said that he was eventually defeated by a mysterious figure who singlehandedly ended his reign. What happened to the legendary figure was an absolute mystery that till now only few knew the truth.

One of those who knew was naturally the ancient one, the one who ended his reign. She knew that he himself didn't have much power, that his so called power was the 10 rings he found, which gave him immense strength and immortality. Originally, she would not have cared what Wenwu did as she did not view him as much of a threat. However, over the course of the years, she saw that the rings started to corrupt him as much as it strengthened him. So, in order to prevent the worst from happenind, she decided to take him out herself. While the battle was tough, considering the fact that Wenwu had thousands of warriors under his command, she managed to annihilate them with a wide range spell. Then she proceeded to engage him and his generals in combat. In the end, though she manage to take them all out, he managed escape from her grasp.

Afterwards, through some unknown method, he managed to evade her searches throughout the years and he never showed up again, till now....

My reign was going strong throughout the years, I had finally gotten hold of the three kingdoms ( before china was formed, there were many nations which slowly became 3, and in the end became China as you know now). Right as I was about to start my conquest on the world, that woman had to show up and RUIN EVERYTHING!!!! ALL MY HARD WORK OVER THE YEARS, GONE!!!! JUST LIKE THAT!!!

Throughout the battle, I managed to learn that she was known as the Ancient One, a sorceress more ancient and powerful than me. Unable to accept the result, I spent years on the run whilst training till I eventually learned more about the rings. It turns out that they were more than just weapons, and each of the ring could grant a different ability. One of them was that they could conceal my existence from anything. Using this ability, I hid from her till I eventually came across records of a village named. Ta Lo, with all their warriors knowing to use a power called chi, which granted them incredible abilites. Deciding that their prowess was needed for me to take revenge and restart my conquest, I spent nearly a half a decade searching for them, till I finally found them.

Finding them really was a pain in the ass, having to wait till Qingming, go through the constantly changing forest, then finally go through that wierd water portal.

Arriving at Ta Lo, I went through all sorts of bullsh*t. From facing the wierd monsters, brainwashing the citizens of the village to finally beating and killing both the dragon and the dweller in darkness. After all that, I could finally start planning for my revenge..... I had to first strengthen my army and myself, then send spies into earth to find out all about her, planning against her and finally killing her.....

Finally, after so long, I had finally gotten ready and powerful enough to take revenge. I learned many things over the years, including mastery over the rings and all about the Ancient One. I learned that she's the sorcerer supreme and that she gaurds the sanctum which protects the world from mystical threats, meaning that her organisation should be very powerful.... That's good, then after killing her I can swallow them whole become even more powerful...

Anyways, a few days ago, I learned that she went to met a young man who seemed quite powerful... Maybe he's someone important to her, maybe not, but since it won't be good to take chances, I'll just have a few men capture him.

Now, to start, let's send the first wave of men towards Kamar-Taj to start....
