PAY A HEAVY PRICE

CHAPTER 6

The spies found Xiang's location and informed Chu-hua, who then signaled them through a messenger bird. The terrorists of Japan, from all provinces, agreed to help kidnap Xiang, the prophesied savior of Zingogin Kingdom. Although the gods had warned Priestess Lysara about the impending danger, they didn't specify when it would happen.

They surrounded Priestess Lysara's chambers. After the guards finished speaking with Xiang, they forcefully broke through the door, wielding rare and dangerous war tools.

Chu-hua laughed menacingly as she stabbed Priestess Lysara with a sword, trapping her in the spirit realm. She ordered the soldiers to brutally kill all the shrine guards protecting the Priestess.

Xiang was kidnapped, and Chu-hua ordered his soldiers to inflict a painful punishment on him before considering him dead.

King Thalor learned about what happened to his spiritual mother, "Priestess Lysara. He ordered his soldiers to guard and close the walls of his territory. He made it clear that they must catch the culprit, no matter what. He didn't care much about Xiang, but Priestess Lysara had guided him since he was a teenager.

Meanwhile, whispers of the kidnapping spread throughout the kingdom, causing fear among the people. The king's advisors urged him to take action. Which he did.

"Soldiers, are you ready to die for me, are you ready to lay down your life for your properties and hope to me. "The king asked?

"During storms, during tribulations we are everything you got and we are willing to sacrifice anything we have just to please you , your Highness!...

Do the needful, pursue our enemies, don't show pity to them, don't look weak and weary to their faces, they do defeat us when our forefathers have been In existence, you are a glimmer of hope to us, and you can change that fate back, our lineage is a Chinese lineage that's why we must not give up.

The chinese soldiers moved swiftly, tracking the location of their intruders with burning rage in their eyes. They knew they were up against a formidable enemy, but they were prepared to fight to the bitter end to protect their homeland.

As they closed in on the enemy's position, . Suddenly, they were upon them – a thousand soldiers strong, their weapons gleaming in the sunlight. Chaos erupted as swords clashed, arrows flew, , a war fueled by range , and covered with bloodshed.

The Chinese soldiers, outnumbered the Japanese soldiers they fought with all their might and spirit , their skill was unmatched unlike Chu-hua soldiers.

As the battle raged on, the casualties increased .Men fell on both sides, their screams of pain and anguish echoing across the battlefield.

But still, the Chinese soldiers fought on, refusing to back down in the face of their intruder. They knew that the fate of Zingogin kingdom lies in their hands and they were willing to sacrifice everything to protect it.

After the battle between both sides, . Hundreds lay dead on the battlefield, their bodies broken and their spirits extinguished. It was a painful reminder of the horrors of war, a reminder of the sacrifices that had been made in the name of honor and duty.

"Why is my plan not always working out!"

Chu-hua screamed with pain, my soldiers are all dead, oh no! Who dares me!

"Halt! surrounder all your weapons,with your hands up. Zingogin soldiers surrounded Chu-hua, she was really devastated she lost all her armies and the terrorists she made a deal with, escaped with Xiang, leaving her alone to herself.

"You will pay for what you did". why will you come to stop us?

"You crossed your lane by stabbing our great priestess lysara, do you think you'll go scott free when you stabbed her with your sword".

"No, this is not the end of this, she didn't comply with their words.

The king soldier's, took her back to king palace, they carried along the corpse of the dead soldiers with them, to pay their last respect!

"King Thalor: we have lost a great army , our intruders came in without our notice, despite the fact the gods of this land showed our great and beloved Priestess lysara what's coming our way; who is hanging between life and death as we are speaking. They are spies within us, they expose everything about us to those Intruders.

"The civilians: murmuring with fear within their faces, what will happen to the priestess right now is there anything we can do to save her, what did they want by attacking our kingdom.

"King Thalor: I won't talk much but be prepared for what is yet to come, we will find every means to bring her back, to the life of the living, she's the only key In connections to the spirit realms with the gods of the lands.

"Civilians": Oh King, all power and might belong to you, they pay obeisance to the king.

The king left their place to check on the Priestess health status where he called talented doctors in both china and Japan.

"Japanese doctors": we have tried every possible means to hasten her wound to heal but Oh King Thalor, she might not be able to survive this great calamity, the poison of the sword that was stabbed into her heart has spread to her vital organ's.

"Chinese doctors: we dilated her organs to check a way to remove the poison that was induced into her, we were able to extract away little out of those poison, but most of it have mixed with her blood."

King Thalor: use every means to save her, through sorceries, with your knowledge or powers , she must not die, or you and families will face the consequences , and they will all know throughout all the province of China that you all are incompetent set of people.

They all answered in unison, "Yes oh king king! we will never disappoint you, we vow to you if we don't save priestess lysara, our lives , our properties, our wives, we give them all to you...
