Warlock of War: My Ares System

"Ugh… alright, well… it's none of my business…" I rolled my eyes before walking to the bottom of one of the ropes and seeing where it trailed up to. "The east part of the city… maybe they're spying on the merchants… so it's already begun, huh?"

Clearly, these were spies sent to investigate the tension within the town, which honestly had the potential now to expand into a city under the financial support and guidance of the current Chinese Emperor, who I have yet to know the name of.

Even knowing what time period this was wouldn't have helped since figures all across time within Asia were here, battling it out right now.

It made me wonder if I could find others who may be able to teach me something else… or possibly another amazing martial artist that can teach me their arts.

"That would be nice."

…

A few weeks passed, and Lu Bu finally returned from his mission, completely unharmed as always, but from what I could tell, that mission was to actually escort what seemed to be a noble all the way to this now-growing city.

Most of the walls had been torn down, causing a few decently-sized raids to be put in place on our front lawn, although defending them wasn't much of a problem.

We had so many soldiers and men to defend the city that we could completely overwhelm them instead of using strategies.

"How have you been?" Lu Bu asked after the small parade, not only welcoming the flying general back but the noble hidden deep within the layers of guards, had ended.

They were tucked behind layers upon layers of guards and then squeezed into a carriage drawn by two massive and strong horses.

"I've been pretty good. Just training… and more training. I also helped defend the city from a few raid parties,"

"Did they seem like they were organized, or were they just a bunch of mongrels sporadically attacking the city?"

"I'd say the latter. They were relatively easy to take down, especially due to our always-increasing number of soldiers. We could just overwhelm them with a single charge, and it would be done without much thought,"

"That's good," The man smiled before lightly ruffling my hair and then walking over to the carriage, where the guards cleared way for the towering man's presence.

Not to say that they weren't tall and muscular, but compared to the heavenly general standing right before them… well, they were no more than a bug on the road.

The carriage door swung open, and a soft, gentle hand took the general's hand, two of his fingers being enough for her to grasp.

"Who is that?!" I called out from behind, attempting to tease the general, who lowered his gaze as the presence of the woman overwhelmed the street we were in and took the breath of every single man in a twenty-meter radius of her. "No fucking way…."

I lightly chuckled to myself as a familiar face once again took hundreds of breaths, but this time it was across the entire street, and everybody practically stared at her.

She had long, silky black hair combed all the way down to her waist, and her eyes were like whirlpools of darkness, sucking your gaze in and keeping it deep down beneath the surface of the whirlpool.

| сom Her skin looked to be as soft as silk, and it was a petite white that was blushed ever so slightly with a light layer of makeup, but just enough to let her natural beauty still shine through.

"Orion~ you asshole," She smiled through gritted teeth, and as I looked around to see if she was really talking about me, her slender finger pointed straight at my face. "Let us talk in private."

Her smile continued to penetrate the atmosphere, but it seemed I got in trouble with something that I had no idea even existed.

Her silk robe waved in the wind as she walked over to me, her heels seemingly floating across the jagged and rigid dirt road we were currently standing on.

As soon as she stood next to me, she wrapped her arm around the back of my neck like we were old buddies and dragged my ear next to her mouth.

"Let us talk in private… I need an explanation."

"I need one as well. I thought you were a farmer or something…."

"And the jade didn't give it away?" She smirked as we walked into the massive white office building right beside us, the only person daring to follow being the flying general who just couldn't shake his glare off of me.

He prepared his office for us to converse, and as soon as he left, standing just outside the door, the nurse that I once knew slammed her fist onto the wooden table, immediately regretting it as her knuckles turned red.

"Ah… shit… I need… an explanation from you. I sent a request to have you specifically as the head escort of my guards, but it seems you don't even know about it. I'm sure I sent it directly to you, and the scout I sent was quite trustworthy. He even came back saying he gave it directly to you," The woman clicked her tongue, but as she attempted to seem powerful, she couldn't hold back the grimacing expression as her tender fist began to bleed.

I was confused as hell by everything she was saying, but before I even had the chance to open my mouth, Lu Bu stepped straight through the office door, his cold eyes landing on the woman.

"What? I told you to wait outside. You dare go against my orders-"

"Shut the fuck up. I and the emperor both know why you wanted him, but unfortunately, he's already my student. Also, I'm sure he has no interest in learning medicine… so please back off, Madam Han, before I am forced to remove you,"

Both the man and woman stared at each other, a bolt of lightning crackling between their eyes before Madam Han rolled her eyes and leaned back in the wooden chair.

"Whatever… so you're the reason why he didn't get it… I'll note that."

"Do what you want, witch."
