Chapter 199: Good Work Ed (1/2)

”This isn't their only force, they have back-” Before the man could continue to speak, one member of the Blood sect army entered the room. He was the one responsible for delivering news to the commanders, so he didn't need permission.

”We've noticed a small army of 10.000 approaching from the east.” The information he provided picked the interest of the commanders except for the man with the missing arm.

”There will be another force coming from the west as well.” He continued speaking as he had the same information as the informant.

”With such a small number, they won't be able to change anything. Get a detachment of 20.000 soldiers from both the left and right armies and have them engage with the new forces. Tell them to wash their necks if they fail.” The supreme commander of the army spoke. He was a tall muscled man. He had short black hair and squinty black eyes. His rough yet calm voice seemed to complement his position. His mustache met up with his goatee and gave him a younger look even though he was in his forties.

”The war will be over as soon as the force we sent to Avalon returns. Once Arthur sees his kingdom in flames and his family in pieces, he won't be able to continue this war.” The leader spoke as e squinted his eyes.

”Is that the only thing you managed to find out?” He turned around and looked at the man. It was not the informant, as he had already left to tell the armies.

”For the information, that is all. But I got a certain treat from killing that kid. A weapon I have never seen before. And I'm not talking about its type, no! Everything from quality to crafting technique, it has reached the top of all I have seen!”

Even the man with the missing arm was hyping up this weapon, it didn't seem like those present believed him. The other three commanders were two men and a woman.

One of them men had green eyes and hair. He had a face that seemed to enjoy solitude more than anything and didn't like the noise caused by the armless man. He was of average height and build and didn't seem to have any special features. He was in his late twenties.

The other man seemed to be rather old as his black hair had already started going grey. He rested a Nodachi, which was a long katana, on his shoulder. His eyes remained closed throughout the conversation, except for when the leader spoke.

The last member, the woman had silver hair and silver eyes. If Edward were here he'd see a certain resemblance to Lilliana whom he had met in Aaragon when he went to save Emilia. However, unlike Lilianna, she was rather short.

”It's this blade.” The armless man brought out a black katana that let out a large amount of killing intent. Although it didn't have a sheath on, no one thought that it reduced from its quality. Everyone in the room felt it and turned their attention towards the man they had ignored. In reality, they were looking at the weapon he was holding.

”A brat like that had such a weapon on him?!” The old man looked astounded as he knew the rarity of Shusui. He stood up from his spot and looked like he wanted to jump and take it, but he relented from doing so.

”Did you get anything else from him?” The woman that teased him before asking him. Greed could be seen in her eyes.
