Chapter 6

• The entire emperial army are racking their brains to find a way to determine the real landing area of the 'Harvest Time's survivors.
• As their senses could feel a dozens of location but their physical eyes can't see a thing.
• With their number they could divide themselves and rushed in all this location but this will also divide their strenght.
• And this could be considered as shooting blindedly. Those who will go to those wrong location would had to run to other location to help but even the next location is still an unsure one.
• After few moments of thinking, someone suddenly exclaimed.
• "Of course!"
• Such shout attracted everyone's attention.
• "What? Say it!" General Lim did not bother to ask kindly. He was sure that this fellow who just exclaimed finally got the puzzle solved.
• "General, for all those formation to be activited and able to confused our senses, someone should had gotten the real information earlier. Then immediately he give the signal to his companions. That was to say then, the real location should definitety the first location..."
• After answering the general's question, the soldier look towards a comrade then addressed, "Comrade, you were the first to report earlier. I suspect that the place you sensed is the actual landing area."
• "Well, I... but..." the soldier still give an unsured answered as he look towards a place.
• But as the soldier is muttering, General Lim's temper came to an end.
• "What? Spill it!" he roared. He is not only angry but anxious as well. He knows quite well that in such situation, a second means a lot. But this soldier of his is still hesitating for god knows why...
• The soldier shuddered upon his superior's roar. But also awaken his rationality. He brave himself and pointed at a place, "Gen... general, over there."
• Everyone turns their sights towards the pointed area, only a see a few hectares plain valley. Not even a single tree manage to grow on it, but a grass land.
• "Eh! Is this a joke? How bold is he to joke with such situation." Most shake their head as they move their sight from the valley to their unfortunate comrade.
• They can't believe that he still have the nerve to joke despite their current predicament.
• But few are way more direct, they approached the fellow and give him a scolding.
• "You fool! Is this the time for your stupid joke?"
• "Can't you see our situation? How dare you fool around in such!"
• "Don't you know that every seconds counts? It could be said that we are already late and those who plotted such scheme are now enjoying robbing those who we are suppose to protect!"
• Few more open their thoughts as they reprimanded the poor fellow.
• But of course, the poor soldier won't take their words without retaliation.
• "What do you mean fooling around? I already hesitated by I was forced to answer! I merely answering your question! It just that you don't believe then why do you have to reprimand me!"
• Such words escalated the situation. As they could clearly see that he is but fooling around and yet he still had the audacity to defend his action.
• This could group could be said to be tested by time as they were suppose to know each other quite well.
• But their frustration over the days of restless and boring task should have drained some of their patience and rationality.
• Thus such simple 'joke' had already got some of this soldier to their nerve.
• Verbal confrontation followed as those few soldiers felt that they insulted. They were just correcting an 'obvious wrong' but...
• Of course the fellow defend himself as he thinks that he was wronged.
• Suddenly,
• "Stop that nonsense argument! Our mission is at hand, follow me!" General Lim finally give an order then he decisively jump and dive towards the valley.
• "General, wait..."
• "General, don't..."
• "General, we can't..."
• Those who were arguing with that poor soldier immediately tried to stop and reason out with their leader.
• But their words turned into deaf ear.
• The poor fellow also took the chance to leave those who wronged him and also dived towards the valley.
• The other soldiers, though unconvinced of their general's impulsive decision, also followed suit. It was an order after all.
• ...
• The elevation of the flying ship from the ground is more or less two kilometers but at this moment hundreds of people from the ship is like stars falling from the sky.
• They were all diving towards an empty grassland in the middle of a mysterious mountain.
• A fall from such elevation could be considered as fatal for an ordinary human but this group all but cultivators. Though their level is not yet in the stage where they could fly, balancing themselves before they hit the ground is not a problem.
• Leading them is a dignified middle aged man. Though he seems calm when he give his order earlier but he actually burning in anger inside.
• He felt like he was played! His felt that his name, intelligence and status that he built all through life was tested and insulted not once but twice this day.
• Two kinds of formation was used to fool him on this mission. The first one give thousands of fake auras in different part of the mountain. And the second one hides the actual situation with a seems to be peaceful one.
• 'How could I had not immediately noticed such?' General Lim thougths as he blames himself. As he gazed his target with all hostility.
• He then pulled his most priced sword and pointed at his target and release internal energy.
• "Prepare for battle!" General Lim roared.
• His subordinates, who was following him, was puzzled by such action. But their general's words finally give them an idea on what is happening.
• They are all from the cultivators world, a world that mortals claims to be a magical one. But in truth, this supposed to magical are all but products of internal energys, divine weapons, formation, pills and so on.
• And the one infront of them is just one of those supposed 'magical' one. In this world, not all what the eyes sees is what is it! And sometimes it depends your cultivator level to comprehend what is it and what is not.
• They had not notice anything from this place but it does not mean that whatever it is that was used in this place is flawless. Maybe their general noticed something.
• So without any question, they all pulled their swords and prepared for encounter.
• After few moments...
• "Crack!"
• The sound of glass being shattered rang in the entire area as General Lim's sword seems to hit something in midair.
