Expansion 5/5 The Siege 2/2

The army marched out of the pagoda to finish conquering Sinnan. Out of nowhere, they were ambushed by another Tenchon army. They were more skilled and faster than the other one. The Hanyu tried to hold up their shields against the force of the tenchon which worked for a little while however it couldn’t hold them off forever. And, just like the Hanyu’s defense units were no more and the Tenchon army continued to push against the Hanyu. However, It looked like another army was coming from the distance.

Days prior Lei called upon the Koni’s assistance in the war against the Tenchon. The Tenchon army who did not see the Koni behind them then got ambushed themselves by the Konian army. The Konian emperor Tae Chon came to meet Lei in where they were currently stationed.

“I’m Here!!” He yelled.

Despite being a mere child Lei thought highly of the boy as is army was well trained and he always had a keen mind

“He’s Just like his father.” She thought.

“So what now?” Chon asked.

Lei proceeded to show him her strategy for winning the war and even repairing Sinnan after the war too.

“I see.” He said.

“Ok. We’ll do it right now!” He said.

“Wait. Don’t you think it’s a good idea to maybe wait for a little?” Lei asked.

“No. He who hesitates is lost!” He said.

What he said wasn’t false but it wasn’t really true either. Lei decided to go with what Chon was doing because It really didn’t matter once she thought of it. Both the Hanyu’s and the Koi’s armies marched together claiming any structure they could until it got to the last one. The rest of the Tenchon’s army was left there around 500 but they also had viscous tigers as well which they let off their chains. The Hanyu and Koni never really fought an animal before so it took some men to kill these beasts.

Lei found a secret entrance to the building. She then let Chon control both armies as she went to investigate. A couple of minutes later she reached a room where all the heads of the Tenchons factions were in. She pulled out her blade.

“Who are you?!!” She asked

“Well well, If it isn’t Tsou Lei, the current emperor of the Hanyu and ruler of Manseong.” One of them said

“We’ve heard a lot of things about you.” Another one of them said.

They all pulled their blades and rushed towards Lei. Lei got into her stance and stood her ground. There were three for of them in total so Lei decided to calm her mind. The first one went in recklessly holding the sword on top of his head. Lei dodged it and got him in the stomach.

Then the rest dashed at her

“A 2 versus 1? Ok, the.” She thought.

At first, their attacks were simple as she managed to also slice into the stomach of the other as well. Then the last one went in very hard, Looking at it was a close match with so many moments that could’ve ended them both. However, The last of the faction leaders made a mistake, a mistake Lei exploited and stabbed him in the legs.

Meanwhile, the Hanyu and Koni had one the battle against the Tenchon army. It was long and hard but they pulled through. Lei then stepped out of the entrance

“We did it. Sinnan is in the hands of us now.” Lei told Chon

Chon leaped in excitement for the battle was over and the siege was completed. All of the citizens of Sinnan were also happy as they could have a better life. The thieves were also happy as they could finally have their freedom. And new sacrifices from the Tenchon were also captured.

With that Lei decided that it was appropriate to start the festival over as it was interrupted by the attack.

“Ready for the festival again?” She asked Pok.

“For sometime sister.” Pok responded

And so they had redone the festival like if nothing ever happened and had a good time as well. Lei later slept in peace knowing that Manseong was safe for a little longer.
