"is my glaive ready yet?" asked Lingxu about the glaive he personally requested to the blacksmith his family runs it was made with the best metal and the blade is made with a black meteorite

"not yet my Lord, the blacksmith said that it will be ready 5 day later" said Yue

Lingxu just nod, while looking at his Men, a hurried step come on his way "brother I have both bad and good news" said Taidu.

"Bad one" answered Lingxu

"the draft notice are already been issued, and we are to be deployed under the flag of Duke Hyou to be spearhead unit of the second army 4th division led by General Baku Koshin" said Taidu

Lingxu hearing the news are not surprised knowing that Ouki will be too lazy to engage in sure win battle, and knowing how duke hyou play his war, it will gave even Yue and Sulan a headache watching it.

"good one?" asked Lingxu once again.

"your glaive are ready, but the smith said you will need to come and help him finish it" said Taido while holding on to his new spear with a happy face.

Lingxu nod not minding the fact that a blacksmith dare to ask him out but knowing the personality od the man, he just shrugged it off.

"Old Sui, why do you need me here? is there a problem?" asked Lingxu.

"No, nothing at all Lord, its just that this Glaive is such a naughty guy, he never want to cool off even after I pour so much water in him, and then I remember and old legend saying that it will only died down after basking in the blood of its master, so that's why I called you" said Old Sui

not hesitating for a moment, which give Sulan a fright, Lingxu just make a cut in his hand and sprayed some blood into the glaive, it makes a hissing sound after that Old Sui pour some water with some of Lingxu blood in it into it and finally the glaive is done.

"ah before you go, I also make some armor for you, its the same material as the blade, Cuixi bring the armor here" Said old Sui.

"Many thanks old man, thank you for helping the Long Family like always" said Lingxu with a genuine thanks.

Getting back to the Manor, its already time for the war meeting with his man, after a shirt walk, the guard open the door to the war room, and Lingxu see 4 people there he gave out a nod and the guard closeed the door indicating the start of the meeting.

"By the report we have and also the info we get from the Dragon eyes, we have 80.000 men on Qin side, and 150.000 men on Wei side" Yue Report to start the meeting.

"we have word that the sent out meeting olace would be 2 rallying point at Asui and Keiyou, and will met again to fought the Wei army, we were to set out to Keiyou following Baku Koshin army" said Sulan.

"Keiyou will fall" Lingxu said

everyone is surprised at his remarks and look at the map not understanding his thought.

"Go kei is not stupid, They have the man advantage and its their land, Gan castle is bound to fall, the battle is not even there, because the second Gan Castle Fall, then the duke or whoever in charge would probably go to Asui and met up with the rest of the army and battle in asui would mean our loss with our number and knowing the energy of the 3rd and 4th army are low this battle is bound to lose if that's the case" said Lingxu calmly but make his Ally worried after hearing it.

"yes and knowing that this will be an impossible battle and the prideful Duke Hyou would not want to stand down, my Lord I sugest we prepare a retreat route" said Yue which everyone agree in unison, living is better then dying for glory they say.

"no, we will march forward, Duke Hyou as I know from the report the we gather is not such a simple man" said Lingxu.

"but Lord even if by some miracle we have the same size army and confront them at the Dakan plains, there is small chance of winning it with our exhausted army, this is impossible battle Lord, please reconsider" beg Yue.

"what did you say?" asked Lingxu like something just sounded right.

"its an impossible battle lord, pardon my insolence but please reconsider" again Yue begged.

"no, battle? Dakan Plains?" still with no expression Lingxu just stare at the map and clearly saw what will happen there "Duke Hyou is Madman indeed, prepare for battle, it will be a hard one and surely we need to work for it"

seeing their lord is adamant of going, as his loyal subordinate they are ready to go with him even if it meant death.
