Bab 88: 3000 vs 500

[3rd POV]

(Gongmen City, The Tower of Sacred Flames)

"Lord Shen!!" The voice of Boss Wolf echoed in the silence of the tower.

The rapid sound of his footfalls came right after as he quickly climb up the stairs that led to the throne room.

"Lord Shen!!" He called again, much to the annoyance of Shen who cringed at the disturbance.

"What is it?" He asked in a not-too-friendly tone. it promised consequences if whatever news he brought with him was not an emergency.

"My lord." Boss Woif slide to a stop right before the throne where Shen sat majestically. He had glasses in his eyes and he was reading a long scroll.

And then in the silence, came the shocking news.

"An army from Tibet is approaching our borders." Boss Wolf said with the utmost seriousness in his voice.

!!!

"What did you say?"

"Our scouts have noticed an army of Tibet marching towards our borders in Nanzhao." Boss Wolf repeated himself and Shen was forced to believe the news.

It was completely illogical.

Why did Tibet suddenly decide to attack them now? It has been only two weeks since he got the news that they were a threat and he called an emergency meeting with Tai Lung.

They were not supposed to move this fast. They were not supposed to have the nerve to attack them without the backing of India. Even if they were sure that they could win against China, they would be weakened enough in the war that the other Empires would destroy them afterwards.

And relations between countries or Empires do not work that fast. it would require at least half a year of marriage between the sons and daughters of the respective Emperor to have such quick alliances.

By all logic and common sense in the world, this attack was absolutely unexpected.

"How many?"

"Uhhhmmm..." Boss Wolf said and scratched his head, "Around 500 soldiers."

Shen released a sigh he did not know he was holding before he quickly barked at him, "Stupid mutt, say that first!"

"Sorry, my lord!"

500 soldiers huh, so that means that it was not an attack. There were around 3,000 soldiers stationed at the borders with multiple cannons on the walls surrounding it so there was no way it could be an attack.

So it was something else.

Was it a message? A party sent for negotiation?

"Tell the commander stationed on the border to deal with them. Try to settle things peacefully and even if they really are here for talk or negotiate, do not hesitate to bend a knee. We don't want to cause trouble now, remember, we are the ones who need to buy time." Shen said to Boss Wolf who nodded after carefully listening.

"As you wish my lord." Boss Wolf said and bowed before he ran back down the stairs to send a message to the commander in charge of the borders.

Shen shook his head as he watched his most trusted subordinate leave.

He had nearly given him a heart attack, thinking Tibet had made a move so quickly. But it seemed it was nothing serious.

....

....

If only he had paid more focus onto the task. Maybe he would have saved the lives of 3,000 soldiers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[3rd POV]

(The Tibetan Empire, The borders of Tibet and China)

"You guys are not the brightest bunch are you." The commander of China said with a shake of his head as he looked at the Tibetan army who was taking out their weapons and getting ready to fight.

They were 3,000 strong while the enemy was only 500 in number. Yet they were trying to attack them here.

The Tibetan army had asked for a talk a bit further into the Tibetan territory, claiming that they do not feel safe so close to the wall where the cannons could fire at them.

Getting the orders from Shen that he should try to not cause trouble, the commander decided that it was no harm to follow them and move away from the walls.

After all, they were 500 while he had 3000 soldiers with him. What could possibly have gone wrong?

"Soldiers get ready!!" The enemy commander, a Tiger with well developed muscle and armour said as the 500 soldiers slowly surrounded the bigger army.

"Pftt, I have heard of the arrogance of Tibet but to think you guys are this delusional..." said the commander of China, a giant gorilla.

"Fine, you guys shall die today." The Gorilla said and he took in a deep breath to puff out his chest. Then he beat it like a drum.

"We have tried our best to maintain peace but the enemy has turned on us! Get ready!" He said and the soldiers pulled out their swords and grabbed their spears horizontally at the lesser enemy who were slowly surrounding them.

"Huh?" The Gorilla looked at the strange thing at the back of the Tibetan commander.

It was a cage. But the odd thing about this cage was that it seemed to focus more on keeping people out than keeping someone in. It was also coated with a net-like steel structure which would've made it impossible to snipe through with an arrow or other projectile.

And inside the cage was someone. The Gorilla could not see it properly but it was a female who was heavily dressed. She was also holding a silver bell in her hand.

It was an odd sight. Something which the commander of Shen decided to ignore now that the enemy had surrounded them.

"ATTACK!!!" He screamed with the confidence of a victor. He was leading an army of 3000, heavily outnumbering the enemy. It did not matter that the enemy surrounded them or that they were ambushed.

They were going to slaughter some Tibetan cunts today.

He led the attack and charged directly at the closest enemy. He brought up his Waraxe and was about to slash at the Tibetan soldiers but something was wrong.

Something deep down inside him knew that things were not as it was supposed to be.

*Ting-Ding-Ding*

The sound of a bell came from the cage. It was soft but even amidst the warcry and the clatter of steel, they could hear it.

Reality listened.

And acknowledged the sound.

"HHAAAAA!!!!" The commander swung at the enemy soldier anyway but he noticed something different.

His limbs won't listen to him properly. They felt like noodles, a feeling you would experience right after waking up early in the morning.

His muscles became rigid and even as he swung his weapon, he lost his precision and the enemy soldier was able to dodge his swing.

"What the?" Gorilla muttered in disbelief and the soldiers fought back. He tried to shrug off the sluggish feeling in his body and exchanged some blows with them.

But then it happened again.

*Ting-Ding-Ding*

This time, he felt heavier than before.

Gravity became unkind to him as he felt his weight increase dramatically. The cruel pull of the earth made his movements slower and he was unable to dodge the slash that came his way.

Their sword left a slash mark on his shoulder.

"Damn you!!" He screamed and using all his strength, he swung upwards, putting his injured shoulder to its final work.

His swing connects this time and bisected the enemy soldier in half.

"I don't know what tricks you are using but it won't work!! We are the soldiers of Tai Lung!!" He screamed and charged towards the enemy again.

His soldiers followed. They had also felt the same negative effect as the bell rang but they pushed through with sheer will.

But it happened again.

*Ting-Ding-Ding*

Air becomes thick.

They could not get a proper breath. Because each breath was full of carbon. It felt like oxygen itself was avoiding them and each breath was not relieving.

It was not noticeable at first but then a few minutes later, they were out of their breath. Without the necessary oxygen, they were already getting tired.

"Hahahahaha!! Not so tough now huh?'" The commander of Tibet laughed as he looked at them.

*Ting-Ding-Ding*

Gorilla anticipated another weakness but this time, he felt no change. The soldiers of China, thinking that the enemy had run out of tricks, rushed at the Tibets with new hope.

The commander Gorilla swung his weapon, ready to chop off the heads of these outsiders but then a strange sight greeted him.

*Cling!*

Somehow, the enemy blocked his attack, It was a feat which they were not able to do until now.

Then it hit him.

This time they did not get weaker but the enemy got stronger.

*Ting-Ding-Ding*

*FWOOSH!!*

The soldier's spear whizzed right past his cheek at a speed much faster than before. The attacks seemed to be blessed by the air itself as it made a swift cutting sound.

The fight continued between the 3000-stong Chinese army and the 500 Tibetan army.

But with each sound of the bell, the army of Shen and Tai Lung was getting beaten worse and worse. At one point, it felt like a dream to them. A dream where they couldn't hit as hard as they wanted, where they couldn't run as fast as they wanted.

Where all their efforts were squashed.

They were cursed by the world.

Yet their enemy got stronger and stronger like a dreaded nightmare.

"Its you!!!" The Gorilla screamed and after gathering all of his final strength. He pushed through the enemy lines and made a beeline straight to the cage and the female inside.

If he could kill her, maybe this strange phenomenon would stop.

He was able to catch her image. She had white ears and tails which were eeirely similar to that of the Supreme General but her face and limbs were all covered by clothes.

She shook her silver bell.

*Ting-Ding-Ding*

Gravity pulled him down harder, trying to subdue him.

He lost his footing due to the sudden change in weight and he stumbled. Right then, the enemy commander came to him and plunged a sword through his heart.

'i'm gonna die.' The words rang in his mind as crimson blood spilt out his chest.

But he didn't want to go down so easily. He gathered all of his remaining strength, and he was about to lash out at the enemy commander but...

*Ting-Ding-Ding*

The world forbade him.

All of his strength left him as he went limp like a corpse.

The last thing he saw was the cruel smile of the enemy commander. His tiger face filled with amusement.

And his soldiers were losing the battle with the lesser army. Their frustrated scream filled his ears and the sound of steel clashing steel pierced his eardrum.

"Kill them all!"

..

..

..

Then the commander's world went dark as death claimed him.

Author : I was not supposed to upload today. But the updates for other books were so fucking quiet that I felt frustrated as a reader.

Remember, I am also a reader so I k ow how it feels.

Hopefully, this chapter made things a bit more fun for you all.

Anways, is it just me or is the fanfic section of webnovel slowly losing quality? I rember times when I follow ten great books with consistent updates and the new day was literally my favourite time. Which book to give stones to was my biggest hurdle.

But now, everything is awefully quiet. Even the few good books only update 3 times a week.

Should I spend a shot load of money and pick up original novels again?

Anyways just airing my thoughts out.

And give me stones please.

Bab 89: Priestess of Infinity

[3rd POV]

The 500-strong Tibetan army completely annihilated the soldiers stationed at the border. They lured them out first with the promise of negotiation and then surrounded them.

All 3,000 soldiers were killed in this short battle that went on for only a few hours. They had never faced an opponent like them before so they could not even react properly.

The Tibetan army went to the walls after the battle and there were a few soldiers remaining on the walls. But they were easily subjugated and then the Tibet soldiers got the gunpowder and cannons stationed at the walls.

That was their main objective.

They returned as soon as possible to avoid any reinforcement. They had done what they had come to do which was to steal the technology of Gunpowder and cannons from the Chinese.

it would not be easy to replicate it but as long as they knew the weakness and have a general idea of how their weapons worked, they would be able to come up with counterattacks.

That's what the emperor of Tibet wanted.

They returned to the main city of Tibet with their quest being a complete success.

//////////////////////

(Gongmen City, Tower of Sacred Flames)

"What?" Shen said with wide insane eyes that were bloodshot due to the intense emotion he was feeling.

The atmosphere in the room froze under his crazed eyes as the people inside the throne room looked down in odd fear.

"My Lord, the soldiers stationed on the borders of Nanzhao had been annihilated and the Tibetan soldiers took all of the cannons and gunpowder kept in the walls."

His eyelid twitched and he felt his heart boil in a silent rage, seething at himself. He was angry, not at anyone else but at himself.

How ridiculous, how fucking pathetic.

With Tai Lung by his side, he had gotten too used to winning. He rarely faced any challenges and Tai Lung was the one who overcame all the odds. He had gotten lazy.

And when it was his turn, he couldn't even complete a simple thing.

He should've known not to underestimate his enemies. That was how he got to where he was in the first place - because people underestimated him. He should've known better.

It's unacceptable.

"My Lord, what shall we do? Should contact General-"

"NO!!!" He yelled at his subjects. They can't keep on turning to Tai Lung when things go wrong. They need to learn how to deal with things themselves.

He was allied with Tai Lung, he was not supposed to be the only one doing all the hard work.

Shen had promised a month's vacation to Tai Lung and he will not go back to his words. He will deal with the situation himself.

He had been taking things too slowly. Even until now, the four kingdoms had not been subjugated and China was not truly unified.

He thought he would take it slow, try and incorporate a proper system for a unified China first but now he realizes that was a mistake.

He can't take things slow.

He did not have such privilege when enemies were surrounding him like a pack of hungry hyenas.

He had to continue the momentum until he completed his final objective. He can't stop midway to take a rest or take it slow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[3rd POV]

"You have all done a great job in defeating the army of China and bringing home the weapons of black power. To celebrate, I shall throw a feast for everyone!!" The Emperor of Tibet said with a wide smile on his face.

He was a Tibetan Antelope, otherwise known as Chiru and he had inherited his throne from his father who inherited it from his father. The Tibetan Empire is a long-standing dynasty that has existed for many generations.

The Tibetan Empire was not big when it came to territory. The Empire was only the size of three great Kingdoms of China.

Since they were so close to China, they were also influenced by Kung fu and the teachings of Master Oogway so there were many Kung Fu masters as well in Tibet. Of course, these masters were not up to the calibre when compared to China.

But like every Empire, they also have their own strength which they rely on to overcome their enemies.

The castle of Tibet was abuzz with activities due to the small victory they had over China. It might not seem like much at first but the victory meant a lot for the Tibetans.

They finally got an overwhelming victory against China which they considered to be some kind of a wall they must overcome. Then they also got the weapons which was rumoured to be powerful and the main factors that contributed to the unification of China.

So it was a great news, deserving a celebration for the Emperor, the nobles and the soldiers.

As all the celebration was going on, the main reason why the army of Tibet was able to win in the first place looked at everything from the side.

She simply stood at one corner of the room and as if she was carrying an infectious disease, there was no one around her in 10 feet radius.

Although the room was quite crowded with the party and celebration, no one approached her. The most she got was a disdainful look or eyes of pity directed at her.

She wore a mask and almost every inch of her body was covered in clothes but if her eyes were to be revealed, they must be sad and lonely.

The loneliest place was a room full of people.

She had gotten used to it though. At least they were not treating her horribly or constantly go out of their way to bully her anymore. She was an important asset, they may not like her but they knew she was vital for the strength of this Empire.

She was the single most important factor for the military of Tibet.

At one point, she could no longer bear to stay and she walked out of the celebration hall. Her silver bell strapped on her waist made a soft jiggle sound as she walked through the hall of the castle.

The main castle of the Tibet Empire was located at the peak of a mountain and unlike the Chinese, it was made up of entirely stones and rocks. You could see some similarities between the cultures but at the same time, they were vastly different.

She had lived most of her life in this castle but it did not feel like home.

Two guards constantly followed her as she walked through the corridors. They were guards assigned to protect her at all times because out of all the animals in the world, she was extraordinarily fragile. She was so weak that any average soldier could easily kill her.

So she needed constant security.

It was one of the reasons why she was not respected as she should be even though she was the most important person in the Tibet military. Her strength was not her own, she only have the ability to make others strong.

She reached her room at last and she walked in swiftly. The guards did not follow her inside and they stood guard beside her door.

Now that she was alone in her room, she felt a little at ease and her posture visibly relaxed. Her room was quite large as she spent most of her time there.

It was like any other room you would expect from a young snow leopard.

But unfortunately, she was not just any snow leopard.

..

Mei. That was the name her parents had given to her. It directly translates to 'beautiful'.

She wondered how they could give her such name a when she was anything but.

She finally took off her clothes as the baggy fabric fell on the floor. She swiftly discarded all other clothes she wore such as her boots and gloves until finally, she took off her mask.

Her true appearance was finally revealed in the isolated room.

Her ears twitched and her long tail twirled behind her. These were where her Leopard characteristics ended.

A beautiful long silver hair flows down like an avalanche from the top of her head to her waist. Yes, it was not a fur but plentiful locks of hair on her head.

In fact, there was not a single fur on her body. She only had pale white skin that held no blemishes. Her pale complexion hints that her skin never had much contact with the sun, always having to be hidden under baggy clothes.

Instead of paws and claws, she had long dainty fingers and a nice pair of feet at the end of her limbs. Her body was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before.

Her body was not built to be strong. It had the delicate shape of an hourglass with long legs and unnecessary mounds of flesh on its top and bottom. Her boobs and butt.

Indeed, she was not just a Leopard.

She was also a human.

More human than a leopard. She possesses the fragile body of a human girl.

Strength was beauty in this world. All animals have bodies that were designed to be exceptionally strong with each species having more impressive attributes than others.

That exceptional design of strength was what made them beautiful.

But the human body was fragile and weak. Strength seem to be the last thing on the creators mind while making the human body.

It was fragile and weak. It had fur, no claws, no fangs, no beak, no hide no nothing.

In a world where strength was beauty, the human body might as well be the ugliest of them all.

Mei's body was the same way. From the shape of her body to the way her muscles were developed, you could tell that she was weak. She had fat on her thighs, chest and bottom which would undoubtedly hinder her movement.

And her skin, they were furless yet they were not scales nor a hide. They were sensitive and soft.

She wrapped her tails around her body and wondered why she couldn't just be a complete leopard rather than a human.

Humans were looked down upon, not only because they were considered ugly and weak by others but because a human was always associated with slaves.

....

....

But it's been 20 years, and she has gotten used to it.

She flopped down on her bed and stared at the stone ceiling above. She closed her eyes as the fond memory of her father played in her mind.

'If I am gone in the future, travel North and you will a place there where you will be accepted just as you are.'

'It will be your home. Go find it.'

She wondered if what her human father said was true or if it was just a lie he told to reassure her that she would be fine even after he was gone.

She wanted to go North and see if what her father said was real or not.

But....

The guards outside her room were not only there to protect her but to also keep her from running away. Afterall, how could they possibly allow an asset like her to run away?

Maybe that was why the stone castle never felt like home to her.

Because it was also a prison.
