The Great General: Wan Heian-Chapter 41: NEXT PHASE

"Finally we are in!! Everyone charge!!"

The commander shouted with rage. His wrinkles spread throughout his face. The sound of the horses made the Liccahvi aware of their approach. But still puzzled they couldn't figure it out completely.

"General Bhadrak!!"

"Yeah...they are coming"

SLASH!!

KUH!

"From there!!"

THUDK..THUDK..THUDKK.

The sound of the horses and in an instant the army was in front of the Purnavradha army.

"Everyone defend. Lord Surya is our priority!!"

Bhadrak commanded and rushed to the town, backtracking the horses' footprints.

"I will save you, Lord Surya"

With determination, Bhadrak rode through the snow reaching the spot in precise time.

He leapt from the horse and took Surya in his arms.

"Wait..?"

Guang after seeing that followed them in his horse.

Bhadrak aimed the arrow at Guang.

The arrow cutting through the air headed towards him. In a swift response, he avoided it.

THWOSH!!

He threw the sword. The sword in rotational motion headed towards Bhadrak.

KUH!

Bhadrak used his arm to stop it, critically injuring himself.

GRRKKK!!!

Guang withdrew from the chase. Bhardak rode out of the village.

"Damn.."

Guang was frustrated at his failure. But that incident made him aware of the consequences that they might face. He thought widely about those...

"Since Yadav defeated Surya we are the official targets"

"They will come in search of us"

"We will be always on the run"

"Our only option is to reach China fast"

"Commander we are over here"

"Fine"

The Purnavarhda army wiped out the whole Liccavis. Dead horses and dead men lay on the ground, pooling blood.

Tears rolled from the Commander's eyes. His melancholic eyes observed the village. The memories of Rudra popped out suddenly.

"Rudra give my toy back"

The young commander shouts at Rudra.

"No..."

Rudra made a funny face and refused.

He chased him and reached the highest point of the village. And saw Rudra sitting there.

"Rudra.."

A bright smile after turning back. The sun shone behind him.

"Rudra, what will you do when we get older?"

The commander asked the sun reflected in his innocent eyes.

"I want to be the strongest man"

Now the same eyes are staring at the sky, the same eyes but with darkness induced by the preceeding events.

The whole Licchavi army retreated. Declaring the mission a failure.

Guang carried the injured Yadav to the physician. It was snowing heavily, and the whole village was empty. Becoming a ghost village indeed. Soon the night enveloped the village. It felt like there would be no day. Yadav and the group retired for the day. After saving themselves and defeating a key enemy they were worn out.

Days passed after the incident and finally, in the morning the door of the lodge opened and appeared Fui.

"Finally it's been 5 days huh?"

He stared at the sky and sun. Walking in the snow.

"Well it was a turbulent time here, but now Yadav is fine and everyone is okay too"

With glowing eyes that symbolised relief. He walked to the market.

SFX: CROWD

"Almost all the people are back and they rebuilding their village"

"Ka! Ka! Ka! You are a really funny fellow"

"Wait I have heard this voice somewhere"

Fui thought after hearing a familiar voice.

"You are also and your tolerance to liquor is insane!!"

"Wait if it's liquor then..."

Fui ran to the place and there he was, drinking from the beginning of the day.

"Sen you bastard!!"

Fui got furious and rushed to drag him.

"Wait..."

THUD!!

HSSKKK!!

Fui dragged Sen along the whole market and finally reached the lodge.

"I can't believe all of that took place 5 days ago"

Drunk Sen began to talk.

"Hmm.. it's true after all"

"Hey... aren't all of you taking your stuff?"

They turned back to look who that was.

"Yadav..."

"Wait are we leaving now?"

Guang came walking and ordered them to take their stuff.

"Shit.."

Both of them ran and came after taking their bags.

"Thank you for allowing us to stay here"

Guang thanked the landlord and departed. They walked through the market. Finally reaching the gate.

"We came here through this gate and now we are leaving huh?"

"Well, there is an end to everything after all"

"Yeah..."

Yadav replied with a smile.

"Well, we will have to welcome some places and have good memories with them as well as bad ones. But we feel something after leaving the place that has taught us something"

"Although the stay was short, and I battled here I learned something new"

"Something new that I will be able to protect the ones that I love"

All of them descended the mountain on their horses and finally took a final glimpse of Purnavardha and went.
