"This attack was the result of our carelessness!" The Emperor of Xu Empire sat on his throne, his face dark as he looked at Ye Bai who stood before him. "The Xu Family blatantly attacked a member of the royal family!" The thing is, the Emperor couldn't do something about this as the Xu Family's base was not some place that anyone can go into.
The Xu Family's estate was located on top of a plateau. To protect themselves, the plateau was equipped with a lot of mechanisms, and poisons that were made by Lyca in her previous life. All of these poisons could kill hundreds of people just from one poisonous trap. While the Emperor didn't know this, he actually had no idea where the Xu Family was located. He had sent a lot of scouts just to pinpoint the real location of the plateau but, because of the intense fog and other traps set up by the Xu Family, these people never returned.
"I know where the Xu Family is located," her words were enough to make her father silent for a few minutes.
"What did you say?"
"A spy successfully created a map with the Xu Family's location. Unfortunately, he died just after he arrived to give me the map. It included all the poisonous gas and traps that the Xu Family used around the plateau." Lyca knew that she wouldn't be able to defeat the whole Xu family without an army. Thus, she needed the emperor to help her.
"You already know the location of that despicable family?"
"Yes, I will be needing your permission to send an army of our experts to launch a surprise attack."
The Emperor's eyes squinted at her. "Are you certain?"
"Yes, your highness."
The Emperor turned silent for a few minutes. "You wanted an army of experts and not the whole army? Why?"
"The Xu Family are experts, your highness. We cannot use normal soldiers against them. Moreover, the map that I received showed all the locations of their traps. I only wanted to lower our casualties." The best war was the war that one could win without a fight. However, this war won't happen without one. Lyca needed her revenge, no this wasn't revenge. This was justice.
She needed to have her justice. She needed to be at peace. She figured this would be the only way for her to move on and come back to Earth. Justice for her family.
"Moreover, I wanted to create the facade that we are preparing to attack our enemies on the border. I wanted to make them lower their guards when they see our people preparing to attack the other enemy while our experts sneak out and give a surprise attack to the Xu Family."
When the Emperor heard her explanation, the obvious creases on his forehead disappeared as he nodded. If someone would ask him who he trusted the most, the Emperor would definitely say it was Ye Bai. She wasn't only smart, she was brave and an expert in warfare. If he could, he would want her to become the next Empress. "I understand," he uttered. "Well then, I am giving this task to you. I want you to prepare everything. We…. Will pay them back."
She immediately kneeled and answered, "Thank you, your highness. I will definitely pay them back with our army!" After leaving the palace, Lyca immediately went to her own quarters to prepare to go back to the military base. Under the veil of the night, Lyca left her quarters and arrived at the base as General Bai.
Lyca was actually in a hurry as she wanted to exterminate the Xu Family and let Xu Ke feel what she feel before. With this in mind, she immediately created a plan and assembled the best of her people. These were her most trusted soldiers, the best among the best. Of course, Lyca was very careful in meeting those people as she knew that a spy might be lurking in the troops. During this meeting, she had given them the maps and how to disassemble the traps as well as the herbs that they could use to save themselves from the poisonous gasses. All of these were things that she installed in the past. Of course, she would have a secret way to avoid it.
After a few hours of meeting, Lyca finally went back to her room to rest. Then on the next day, she immediately assembled the remaining army and told them that they are going to launch an attack on the enemy on the border. Her decisions and planning seemed so direct it made everyone believed that this was the Emperor's decision.
Lyca didn't tarry. She wanted to be lazy and just sleep, but this wasn't the time for that. She can have all the rest when she got back. Right now, her focus was getting back to where she actually belong. After making sure that everything was prepared, Lyca left with her soldiers towards the border. This time, she would lead them to the border while her experts would attack the Xu Family.
She had arranged it this way because she knew that Xu Ke was watching her. She couldn't risk it. As much as she wanted to help her experts in killing the members of the Xu Family, Lyca couldn't deviate from her plans.
"I wasn't expecting General Bai to be this decisive."
Lyca immediately narrowed her eyes at the man sitting on top of the boulder. "How come you are here?" she asked Xu Ke. In a few days, she and the army would arrive on the border. Right now, they were currently setting up their tents for the night. However, Lyca had walked towards a cliff not far away from them so she could see the Sunset.
"You took something that is mine. I am here to get it back." Xu Ke's face was calm, yet his eyes were full of turbulence. She sneered in response.
"There are things that you can never have again, Young Master Xu. And this… the necklace was one of those things."
