Because the castle was busticated the soldiers have to go to a nearby inn to take a rest, Jin Sung tells Ignacio to give them whatever they want as long as it can be bought with money but not too excessively. "Give them the best food, the best drinks, and the best wom... bed, give them the best bed so they can have a good rest!" Jin Sung said before coughing a few times. "But sir, what's a wombed? forgive me sir but I never heard of it!" Ignacio was perplexed. "Wombed? I said warm bed! gosh! Ignacio did your ears got hit by the soundwave? it seems like your ears also need some healing spell, now go take care of the soldier for me and take care of your ears so you can hear my instruction sharply if we're in a war and you misinterpret my instruction you would be dead by now!" Jin Sung shouts to Ignacio irritatedly. Ignacio feels he was wronged he was sure that he hears Jin Sung said wombed but Jin Sung said a soldier must never disobey a superior order nor argue against him, so Ignacio can only keep this in his heart gave a salute to Jin Sung and proceed to do his task. When he see Ignacio leave Jin Sung let out a sigh of relief he almost blurted out something he shouldn't, he look at the night sky filled with shining stars, back in his world this kind of scenery is rare because of all the light pollution seeing, this all these stars kinda refreshing for Jin Sung. ________________________________________________________________ Shi Sung is currently playing at home with her friend, her name is Tara she loves to play with Shi Sung and would come to her house almost every day she is good at interacting with children around her age but is very shy when around adults. She is 7 years old, with brown hair, brown eyes, and white skin all in all she looks adorable, when you see her in the street you can't help but want to hug her. Tara plays with her doll with Shi Sung, then she looks left and right before her gaze focuses on Jin Sung's room. "Shi Sung is your brother at home?!" Shi Sung was also playing with her dolls with a smalls chair, a small table, and a smalls teacup for the dolls, she controls the doll to drink from the small teacup. "Yes he's sleeping, I think!" Shi Sung said before she pours an imaginary tea from her tiny kettle. Tara hugs her doll with one hand and points to Jin Sung's room with the other. "Really? but your brother's room is slightly open!" Shi Sung glances at Jin Sung's room and saw that the door is slightly open. "Maybe he forgets to close it after he bought more snacks for me!" Tara was just playing with her doll when she hears the word 'snack' star appear and twinkle in her eyes, she glances at Shi Sung. "S..snack? so where is the snack?" Shi Sung smiles bitterly, just like her Tara is also a snack lover, but what was snack lover hate the most? That's right when people asking for their snack. "I already ate all of it earlier, hehe!" Shi Sung felt guilty although she seldom shares her snack, but because Tara is always playing with her she doesn't mind much. please underline the word much. Hearing this she felt sad and stars that happily twinkling in her eyes are nowhere to be seen. Seeing her sad expression the guilt inside Shi Sung's heart is rising. "Why don't I tell my brother to buy some snacks for us? he just sold a deer so he got some money to buy a few snacks!" Shi Sung stroked Tara's back to try to comfort her. Shi Sung was just stroking Tara's back when she hears a 'creak' sound. "Shi'er! Brother got some snack for you!" Jin Sung lift both of his hand to show his sister the bag full of snack. Shi Sung glance at Jin Sung, run up to him before snatching the 2 bags of snacks in his hands. "Brother where were you all this time? I thought you were sleeping in your bedroom!" Shi Sung said to Jin Sung after she opens the snack and shares it with Tara which make the stars in her eyes glowing like the sun in the sky. Hearing this Jin Sung was startled, cold sweat trickle down from his forehead. "I... I was sleeping earlier then I go outside to buy food for you! but you were inside your room and Tara isn't here when I go outside!" Shi Sung munch on her snack while looking at Jin Sung suspiciously. "Hm... Is that true? Didn't you already buy snacks for me why did you go out to buy snacks again?!" The cold sweat that trickle from Jin Sung's forehead evolved into a stream, a sign that his brains need some water-cooling because of how hard it works. "Well, I figure that Tara would come to visit you that's why I go out to buy snacks?!" Jin Sung was planning to tell Shi Sung about his ability, his goals, and dreams but since tara is here he decided to keep it to himself for now. Still looking at Jin Sung suspiciously while tossing snacks in her mouth. "Alright, Shi'er it's time for you to go to bed, I'll walk Tara to her home!" Seeing that Shi Sung still looking at him suspiciously Jin Sung offer to walk tara home. Hearing this Tara was a bit sad, but she gets over it in an instant because it's already late at night and she can just come again tomorrow they were neighbors anyway. Shi Sung walks up to her brother while munching on her snacks. "Brother, Tara wants to have a sleepover here, her house is close anyway so it's okay right brother?!" Hearing this Tara felt glad, and she felt regret in her heart. 'Why didn't I thought of having a sleepover in Shi Sung's house before, we've been friends for years yet I never have a sleepover in her house' But then she got excited because she would get to sleep with Shi Sung. Jin Sung glance at Tara and sighs. "Okay, I'll go to her house to ask for permission from her parents, I'm sure she would agree but we don't want her to worry, you two go to bed it's already late at night and children shouldn't be awake late at night!" Jin Sung went outside after saying that to the both of them. Shi Sung and tara look at each other before giggling, they take their toys and went inside the bedroom, clearly they didn't have a plan to sleep tonight. Jin Sung went to Tara's house, met her parents, and ask for permission for Tara to have a sleepover in his house, after that he left after saying goodbye and thank you. He went back into his house and heard Shi Sung and tara Giggling and whispering to each other inside the room. Jin Sung can only bitterly smile and went to his room to sleep. Morning, Jin Sung woke up and went to check on his sister, he opens the door only to see that Shi Sung and Tara is still sleeping, they look so cute and adorable and makes you just want to hug and cuddle them. Jin Sung wrote a letter, telling his sister that he will hunt in the Xiangwei plain again and that he left some money for her to buy food and snacks. Then he goes to his soldier's resting place. Now that sounds like the place where the soldier died instead of where they sleep. Ignacio is currently eating with the others while waiting for Jin Sung. "Ignacio! Where is Jin Sung right now ?!" His friend said while eating his food. Ignacio was just about to put food in his mouth pause and stare at his friends. "You shouldn't call him by his name, call him sir, lord, general, commander, or other honorable call but you can't call him by his name!" Ignacio looks at his food and eats it. His friend drinks from the wooden mug and hits the table with it, which makes his drank splash out, he burps and looks at Ignacio "What Ignacio did you really become his loyal dog now?! Hahaha, lack of alcohol must have made you dumb, heed my advice go order yourself some drink so you can think clearly!" His friend said before burping and continued inserting food inside his mouth. Hearing this, Ignacio sneers in contempt "If you would like to be turned in to dust just like the castle yesterday, then you can do whatever you like!" His friend looked at Ignacio irritatedly and hit the table with his wooden mug which makes his drink splash onto others. "What? are you scared just from that little trick it's obvious that he wants to scare us, even if he can use his weapon to destroy the castle he probably can only use it once, didn't you see the weapon he used yesterday to destroy the castle is unusable after one shot?! Ignacio stares at his friend, he was just about to retort before his other friend tap on his shoulder and whisper "He's here!" Ignacio turns his head to the door. A man in an elegant black suit with a mask that covers his face the suit looks so sophisticated and technologically advanced even though there seems to be no mechanism inside it, he walks inside the tavern with confidence although people can't see his face they can feel his confidence and authority. The tavern is silent none dare to speak because they still remember what this man is capable of yesterday, Ignacio on the other hand walks up to Jin Sung and gives him a military salute before speaking. "Sir, Sergeant Ignacio report" Jin Sung examine the man before him and he was pleased "At ease!" Ignacio spread his feet 12 inches apart, clasp his hands behind his back, his head motionless facing forward. Seeing this Jin Sung nod in satisfaction. "Report!" Hearing this Ignacio immediately responds "Sir yes sir, The soldiers have rested well and are ready for the next order!" Jin Sung looks around to see his soldier's situation and asks "What about the casualties when the soul cultivators ambush us?!" Ignacio with no change of expression said "The amount of soldier we currently have is 370 people, which mean we suffer 130 casualties during the ambush!" Hearing this Jin Sung nod heavily. "Take their bodies and give them proper burial! also compensate the common people that got hit by the soundwave, compensate them according to their injury! and while you at it, if the soldier that died has families then also give them compensation, but not too much. we don't want to spend too much because we might need them to prepare for war!" Ignacio thought it was a waste to compensate the common people so what if they were injured he thought, but he can't retort to Jin Sung and can only keep it in his heart. "Yes Sir!" Jin Sung nods and waves his hand "Alright, you are dismissed!" Ignacio snaps to attention gives Jin Sung a military salute before he goes to organize the soldier! After organizing the soldier Ignacio comes back to Jin Sung. "Get some people to reinforce the city! and put 2 people on each gate of the city tell them to check the people that come in and come out if they found someone is suspicious just kill them." Jin Sung contemplates for a while with his finger on his chin. "Tell me about other cities near us and the powers that control them!" Ignacio then proceeds to explain the cities nearby and the various powers that control them. Jin Sung has a realization expression on his face and then he smiles. "Ignacio! Have you ever heard of guerilla tactics?!" Ignacio didn't expect to be asked about this after he explains the various power to Jin Sung but even so he immediately replied: "No I haven't, sir!" Jin Sung hearing this had an evil smirk planted on his face. "Then you better listen because I'm gonna explain my grand strategy to you!" Jin Sung's evil smirk changed into a sinister grin. 'A grand strategy which makes America come home crying in the Vietnam war!'
