11. Assasination

as the sun sets, the Hailong officer are seen walking to the Long Manor located in the capital, a small one with only 4 servant cleaning and maintaining the place up.

"How are the recruitment going Sulan?" asked Taidu to Sulan, it has been agreed upon that the batch of 2000 man would be devided into two separate unit 500 would be placed on reserve unit and the last 1000 would be trained as Heilong Cavalry and lastly the last 500 would be unit for the medical and also spy network

basically in the upcoming war, the Long war camp would have sufficient man to do espionage, medical treatment, and a cooks for the soldier.

such arrangements are rarely seen because usually someone would wait until they reach the title of general would they start to arrange all of those thing.

but Long Lingxu thinks that 4500 elite unit f Hailong would be enougu to dispatch any enemy that would not need an army to subjugate.

as Lingxu plan to rest, he suddenly see a Black Eagle circling about above the royal Palace and the way it circle around indicate of an nearby enemies.

"JUTON, TAIDU WITH ME" he said getting up and grabbing his coat while also taking his sword with him Juton and Taidu who don't understand anything still follow trough not even asking what happening.

as they run towards the Palace with weapon in arms, they see a massacre just in front of the royal palace indicating some sort kf rebellion going on right now.

before they even manage to try to get in ans save the king they were stopped by 5 armed man.

"you must be Long Lingxu, the master did warn about you because you manor is the closest but you will not pass here today" said one of the assasins.

"Juton, kill them" said Lingxu with looking at them like he is looking at a corpse.

with swift motion, Juton who seems like he disappeared suddenly appear behind them and instantly kill 3 of them the last two react quickly but Juton kick his arm and beheading the other one.

as the last guy is getting slain not even the corpse of the last 3 touch the ground and even Lingxu and Taidu take more than 3 steps.

successfully killing the assassins who guard the entrace, they run again towards the King Chamber.

as they walk trough they see a pile of corpse along the way "these 4 are killed with a sword, by the look of it its most likely someome who is strong yet not adept at the art of sword" said Juton, hearing it Lingxu continue down the hall

seeing that there is another pile of corpse "this? my lord, they..." Juton say but even before he finish it, Lingxu nod and command them to continue to the king chamber.

'a powerful assassins that managed to slay all those man in a single breath, is it really a shinyuu?' lingxu thought.

when Lingxu and his companion arrive, they saw the boy Shin fighting against one Assassins in white while 2 black robed one watch from behind.

"go" one word from Lingxu, and both Taidu and Juton move together to dispatch the last 2 assassins while Lingxu dash forward to fight the shiyuu tribe one.

*Clang* breaking of the fight between the shiiyuu and Shin after the assassins stand on shin sword like he is playing with it finally after seeing Lingxu did he draw his blade.

"as someone who lives for the battlefield, why are you here Fated general" said the shiiyuu.

"as someome who is not supposed to be out here, why are you here shiiyuu rouge" said Lingxu showing clear killing intent.

as he said that, the shiiyuu sent out barrages of slash towards him, Lingxu seeing it make on slash with his sword and repel all of it at the same time.

"you have emotion you are no shiiyuu, 14 slash and only one slash contain a sliver of killing intent" as Lingxu said that he glance over to shin and see the reason.

"You are one of his comrade on the battlefield that time? that explain a lot, but why are you still embrace the shiiyuu art?" asked Lingxu not understanding the guy motto.

"its none of your business move or those 14 slash would have killing intent on all of it" said the shiiyuu

"come" said Lingxu not wavering in the slightest bit infront of him.

another 20 slash, all with killing intent at which Lingxu counter with another 4 slash countering all of them

while the Shiiyuu and Lingxu are dueling another batch of assassin apear behind Juton and Taidu, juton got cut in the process but still alive.

Lingxu glance over Juton but juton only nod indicating that he is okay, "Shiiyuu, I'll deal with you later it seems a bunch of idiot disturb our dance go catch your breath, I'll deal with them" siad Lingxu

"Taidu, kill 4 I'll take the rest" said Lingxu not waiting for any explanation from the incoming assassins.

both brother are readying themself up, after one blink both sides dash to confront each other Taidu take on 4 guys while lingxu fought against the last 6 people.

"Shin, with your speed, try to see my sword" lingxu said before moving at what it seems to be teleporting behind them.

moving at such speed place a burden in his body, but such a burden is not a problem with the mount of training he do after the last guy killed, there is a clanking noise of an iron hitting the ground.

two bracers hit the ground where Lingxu just stand, meaning that while fighting kyoukai, Lingxu was still holding himself up and not using full power.

'how can he do all that, and I heard he is only 18 not much older than me' thought shin as to see the vastness of the world.

with 6 people taken care of and Taidu manage to kill the last guy, all the assassin except Kyoukai are left, even before they do another duel, Shoubunkun arrive

Doing so Kyoukai are captured and shin defended her even with all that Kyoukai is still captured and shin getting brought to the pharmacy.

after a short while a report from the dragon eyes says that the Shiiyuu got out and escaped from them

"what will your choice be little Shiiyuu girl" said Lingxu after reading the report.
