Desert King (1)
(1)
When they arrived at the camp, they were stopped by the guards."Wait a minute, the prince is currently hosting a banquet for a very great warrior. You can't go in now!”
"Yeah?" Seth asked. How long will it take?"
"It should be over soon, so you just have to wait a few more minutes."”
"Alright, then we'll wait here for a while!" Seth said.”
Seth and Master Huiyan waited at the side and started to chat. Master Huiyan said,""Strange, when did Baghdad become like this? Look, there are military camps all over the city. This place wasn't like this when I passed by last time!”
" It seems like a war has happened," Seth said." I think we should not get involved."”
"No…I think it's better to get to the bottom of this so that I can have some peace of mind during the journey."”Thus Grandmaster asked a guard: "Excuse me, why did so many troops suddenly appear in Baghdad?”
"Looking at your attire, are you a monk from India?" the guard asked.”
"Yes, I'm a monk who practices Indian Buddhism. Amitabha…"
"That's good, I'll tell you." In fact, the Tang Empire in the east had gone too far recently. They had casually invaded their neighboring country and destroyed the nearby Stone Kingdom for no reason!”
"How…how is that possible? Don't the Tang Empire…love peace?”
"Isn't that what they said themselves? Once their national strength is strong, they will still bully other small countries and expand their territory!”
Master Huiyan could not help but be stunned. The guard said again,"There's no reason at all like this time. The King of Stone Kingdom was kind enough to entertain them, but they took the opportunity to destroy the Stone Kingdom and even boasted that they were promoting the prestige of the Tang Empire…The Prince of Stone Kingdom escaped with his life, so he called on all countries to take revenge on the Tang Empire.”
"But isn't Dunn very strong? Did you win?”
"Don't worry, the matter of the Stone Kingdom's prince has been known by His Majesty Abbas, the Caliph of our Islam. He is also very dissatisfied with the Tang Empire's style! Moreover, the Tang Empire had interfered in our internal affairs and obstructed His Majesty Abbas 'revolution, so he was even more determined to help the Stone Kingdom crusade against the Tang Empire. We are the army sent by His Majesty Abbas.”
After Master Huiyan finished asking, he explained the situation to Seth,""Seth, the situation is not good! These countries and Arabia want to attack my country. I have to hurry back and inform them.”
Seth said," It sounds like your country has done something that shouldn't be done. Why do you still want to help them?"”
"Sigh, you've hit the nail on the head. I'm also a little confused. Please believe me, Huiyan won't turn right from wrong just because Dunn is his own country. I'm just trying to stop this war!”
"Stop this war? Why?"
"No matter if the other country or the Tang Empire is at fault, the ones who suffer the most casualties are the common people, whether they are Tang or Arabian people. I know the chances are slim, but are you willing to help me stop this war?”
"Alright, I'll try my best to help. Let's go collect some information first and understand the situation.”
At this moment, the guard came to tell them that the prince and the warrior had finished their feast and could let them in. The two of them entered the camp. Along the way, Seth asked the master,""Master Huiyan, didn't you tell me last time that the military strategy of the Celestial Empire is very close to the undefeatable method I'm looking for? If that's the case, you don't have to worry too much, right?”
" Little brother Seth, the art of war is only to help you win the battle. It is not absolute. The truly great way to not lose a war is to prevent the war from happening from the beginning. This is the precious spirit of the kingly way that you should pursue."
"The spirit of the king path? To prevent war from happening?"
"Yes, the art of war is about how to kill more people, but the way of the king is about how to let more people live in peace and happiness. Our ruler seems to have lost the spirit of the kingly way, but I should at least try my best to do something for the common people of the world.”As they walked, they came to the front of the tent. The two of them handed the Dark Asura Invitation to the guard. When the guard heard that the two of them had obtained the Dark Asura Invitation, he was surprised and quickly took the invitation to report.
Not long after, a group of soldiers escorted a man in luxurious clothes out. The man looked very funny and had a mustache. He said, I am from the Stone Kingdom…" But when he saw Seth and Master Huiyan clearly, he was stunned for a moment and said,""How, how could this be? I thought they were strong warriors, how could they be this skinny old man and young man?”
" Your Highness," Seth said," perhaps we don't look like what you expected, but the strength of the Dark Shura Invitation should be enough to explain everything."”
"Uh, that's true, but, but…ah, how about this, I happen to have four Arab warriors with me. Please pick two to defeat them, and I'll believe in your strength.”
Master Huiyan laughed and said," Hahaha, there's no need to pick. Let's all four of us attack together!"”
"What?" the prince asked in surprise. All four of you?"
"If you don't mind, I can handle it alone!" Seth said.”
The four warriors looked at the prince at the same time. The prince said,""Maybe they're just showing off. You guys can test their strength!”Therefore, the four of them attacked together. Seth and Master Huiyan fought side by side. They used their superb martial arts and defeated the four warriors in no time.
The prince looked at her with a determined gaze and said,"Too, too powerful! I apologize for my rudeness to the two warriors. I am the Prince of Stone Kingdom, Yuan En. Welcome to join us in our fight against Tang." To be honest, I've been very lucky recently. Not only did the Caliph of the Islamic Empire borrow so many Arab soldiers to help me, but I also met a warrior who was on par with you a few days ago.”Then he called out to the tent,"Let's welcome the brave warrior from Frank, Myers."”
"What?" Seth was surprised. Myers?" Then, he saw Myers walk out of the tent. He was also surprised to see Seth."Seth? And…the monks of the Tang Empire?" Yuanen was also shocked when he heard that the monk was from the Tang Empire. Myers said,""Your Highness, this is my good friend, Knight Seth from the Franks, and the other is a monk from the Tang Empire.”
"Monks from Tang? This…"
"Sir Yuanen, please don't worry about this," said Myers. This monk is an upright person, and his skills are also very good. You are currently in need of someone, so please do not casually abandon such an outstanding talent!”
"That's true!" Yuanen said. Then, warriors, please enter the tent and allow me to properly welcome you!”Seth said to Myers,"Myers, I didn't expect to meet you again in Baghdad. You even spoke on our behalf.”
"Seth, you're treating me as an outsider by saying that! They were in a foreign country, and they all came from the same hometown. Why did they have to be so clear about each other?”
"That's true. But didn't you go after the envoy of the Tang Empire?" Seth said. Did you catch up to him later?"
"Hahaha, don't mention it! It's rare to get together again. Let's go to the tent first and have a good chat!”The three of them entered the tent together.
Yuanen ordered people to set up the banquet again. He called out to everyone,"Welcome, welcome, brave warriors. I am truly fortunate to have met you two today. We Stone people are born to love literature and music and respect warriors. The good skills of the two of you just now have truly made me sincerely respect you!”
"Amitabha, I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Your Highness, you're too kind."”
Yuanen said," This Warrior Myers is also an incredible warrior who can fight against ten people alone. When he joined our army a few days ago, I was really ecstatic!”
"Seth, this prince's country was invaded by the despicable Tang Empire in the East. His family was destroyed and his country was destroyed. I sympathize with him very much, so I decided to join his camp and help him take revenge!”
"Your Highness, may I ask what happened between your country and the Great Tang?" Grandmaster Huiyan asked.”
"Sigh," Yuanen sighed,"it hurts to talk about it." "The Tang sent envoys to our country. Father was hospitable by nature and hosted a banquet to entertain them. Unexpectedly, he…they…" Speaking up to this point, Yuanen choked and could not continue.
"Your Highness?" The Grandmaster and Seth were startled.”
"Let me explain it to you! At that time, when the King of the Stone Kingdom was entertaining their envoy and was not on guard, the people of the Tang Kingdom suddenly led their troops to attack, captured their King, and brought him back to the capital of the Tang Kingdom to behead him!”
"Your Highness, did our Great Tang…really do such an outrageous thing?" Master Huiyan asked.”
At this time, Yuanen cried," F-after Father was captured, they... the Tang army raped and killed our women everywhere. In the end... they even massacred our Stone Kingdom."”
Master Huiyan's expression became very solemn when he heard that. Yuanen continued,"" During the massacre, I hurriedly jumped into a well to survive. However, my mother, sisters, wife, and people were all killed by those beasts…those beasts…" At this point, she was so agitated that she could not continue.
"Amitabha…I'm truly sorry that the Great Tang has done such a thing to you. I'm truly sorry." By the way, do you know who was the commander of the army at that time?”
"It's the Tang Empire's Anxi Military Governor, Gao Xianzhi, and his advisor, Huang Lei," Yuanen replied.
"Huang Lei, isn't he the guy who created the mechanical beast last time?" Seth asked in surprise.”
"It must be that guy!" Master Huiyan said. It must be that he did such a thing in order to make contributions and get promoted.”
"Two warriors, the Tang have a blood feud with me. I have little strength, so I sincerely hope that you can help me!"”
"Sir Yuanen, I have some words from the bottom of my heart. Perhaps it's not very pleasant to hear with my status, but please listen!" The Great Tang was indeed in the wrong for this tragedy, but soldiers also have families and children. Wouldn't you cause more people to suffer the pain of losing their families?”Yuanen was stunned. Master Huiyan continued,""Sir Yuanen, the Stone Kingdom is also a country founded on Buddhism. Buddhism is based on compassion. I believe you will understand what I'm saying!”
"Wait, Lord Yuanen!" Myers said at this moment. This monk wants to persuade you to give up attacking the Tang Empire. Don't be fooled by him! He was a citizen of the Tang Empire, so it was inevitable that he would side with his own country. If the Tang Empire was invaded and massacred today, would he still advocate not to take revenge and give up hatred?”
"Warrior Myers, thank you for your advice!" Yuanen said in realization. How could the blood feud be written off like this?”
Master Huiyan said," But…the people are innocent. I have no selfish motives. I only want to end the war and reduce the suffering of the people."”
"Alright, let's not take revenge!" said Myers. The vanguard troops of the Tang Empire are still advancing towards Arabia. Why should they stop?”
"Sigh, this old monk understands now. This matter is indeed the fault of our Great Tang…Alright, this old monk will go to the Tang camp and find that Regional Governor Gao Xianzhi. I'll try my best to persuade him to retreat!" Grandmaster Huiyan sighed.”With that, he left the tent with Seth.
Yuanen watched the two of them leave and sighed,""Unfortunately, why can't these two peerless warriors be used by me?”
"That's not right, Lord Yuanen! We can't let them go.”
"What's wrong? This old monk has good intentions, so he's willing to go and talk to us!”
"Lord Yuanen, regardless of whether they can convince us or not, the military operation of our alliance army will definitely be exposed! Besides, that monk is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. If he betrays us, it will be bad!”
"Myers, Yuanen is really grateful to you. Yuanen is ignorant and never thought of this!”
"I have to stop them immediately. I can't let them take a step out of this camp!”
Myers led the soldiers to chase after them. When they reached the camp gate, they stopped Seth and Master Huiyan. Myers shouted,""Stop, don't leave."
"Haha, it's just as I guessed. He really went back on his word." Seth said.”
Master Huiyan said," Seth, the Tang army is approaching. There is not much time left. I must rush over as soon as possible to see if I can stop them." Please think of a way to help me block them. These people should be easy for you now.”
Seth nodded in agreement. Then, he pulled out his sword to block Myers and the others while Master Huiyan left. Myers watched as Huiyan fled and said angrily,"Damn it, one of them ran away! He would capture this one first before going to capture the other one.”He ordered the soldiers to take Seth. Seth used the sword control technique and the soldiers were all injured by his sword aura. However, Seth left some leeway and did not harm their lives.
Seeing that the soldiers were no match for him, Myers said,"Get out of the way, a bunch of useless things!”The soldiers retreated together, and Myers charged forward with his sword. Seth fought with all his might. Who knew that Mayers would suddenly release an extremely powerful force. With just one attack, Seth felt dizzy. He immediately flew a few feet away and lost consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, Seth slowly woke up and found himself in an oasis in the desert. Nicole and Karma were waiting by his side. He asked,"Where…where is this place…what happened to me…"
When Nicole saw that Seth had woken up, she said excitedly,"Seth, Seth, you're finally awake! I was really worried to death."
"Seth, you've been unconscious for a long time. We were all worried sick for you!" Karma said.”
"Oh right, I remember now!" Seth remembered. I think…I was defeated by Myers…"
" Yes, he used magic to defeat you," Karma said." That was Satan's evil magic. I was shocked too!”
"Myers knows Satan's magic?" Seth was surprised. Could it be that Connors had used a magic array to add some power to his body in the Infernal Realm?”At this moment, Nicole and Karma shouted,"Someone is coming."”The two of them immediately turned invisible. After a while, they saw Yuanen walking over. Seth quickly pulled out his sword and said,""Prince Yuanen, we have no enmity with you. Why did you send Myers to ambush us?”
"Hmph, you still dare to say that!" Yuanen snorted. Then why should I become your captive and accompany you to live in this desert?”
"You are a captive?" Seth asked in surprise. Aren't we the ones who were knocked down?"
Master Huiyan slowly walked over and said,""You finally woke up, Seth!”
"Master Huiyan, what exactly is going on?”
"Sigh, when I looked back, I realized that you were actually defeated by Myers. In a hurry, I could only sneak back to the tent and take Prince Yuanen out as a hostage. Fortunately, Mayers and the black-robed Arab soldiers were concerned about the prince's life, allowing me to escape to this desert oasis.”
"I'm sorry, Master Huiyan…It's all my fault for being so useless.”
"Victory and defeat are common in a war, don't take it to heart…I'm really sorry for Prince Yuanen, I actually took him as a hostage.”
"Hmph, you Tangs are practically the same tune!" Yuanen said coldly. From now on, Yuanen will never trust anyone from the Tang Empire!”
"Amitabha! Prince, please believe in this old monk's character. This old monk will do everything in his power to stop Gao Xianzhi.”
