Chapter 199
"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 .
"No . For some reason, he didn"t have a spatial ring on him . " As the armless man spoke, the others felt let down .
"Why did you bring out such a weapon? You could have kept it hidden and sold it for an unimaginable amount of money . Why did you show it to us if you know we might take it from you?" The leader brought up an interesting point . The other commanders were brought back to their senses and did indeed find it weird .
"I don"t want the money, I want to be stronger! I"ll give you this weapon if you promise to let me meet the sect master!" The armless man spoke as he approached the leader . The latter seemed to think about; even though he didn"t need to do such a thing . He knew that he could make an empty promise and just kill the man in front of him . But, he had his pride and decided to do things how he sees fit .

But, he had his pride and decided to do things how he sees fit .
"I accept . " He said so and as the man walked further ahead to give him the weapon, something unthinkable happened . The man rushed at the leader and stabbed him with the sword .
"What do you think you"re doing?!" The woman from earlier shouted as she couldn"t believe what had happened .
"Indeed, what do you think you"re doing? Do you believe you"ll get me with such a stupid attack?" said the leader . He caught the sword with his bare hands . Since the attack was clumsy and weak, it didn"t even injure him .
"I didn"t even have such an idea, but one hour is almost up and I don"t have a lot of time . " The armless man"s words surprised everyone as they didn"t understand what he meant . Other than the leader, everyone stopped to think about it . The leader didn"t care and attacked him . Such a thing was treason and the armless man needed to be executed in order to show his authority . He attacked his left side which was defenseless due to his missing arm .
A loud noise was heard as the leader"s QI enhanced fist connected with the man"s side . Or at least that"s what he thought . Everyone looked aghast as if a ghost had just appeared in the room . In fact, it was indeed a ghost as Ed took the place of the armless man, and blocked the leader"s fist with his arm .
"You"re indeed worthy of leading such a big army, you monster . My arm is shattered . " Ed smiled as he looked at his dangling left arm . The leader"s attack could have pulverized him, but he managed to block most of the damage thanks to Ryuu and Ken .

"How are you still alive?!!" the commanders shouted, but they didn"t care about such a thing . What they wanted to know was how he managed to trick all of them at once .
"I don"t have the time for chit-chat . I"ll come back for you all in a second, and I"ll show you what it means to challenge us . " Ed looked at all four of them and released a thick wave of killing intent, stopping them from approaching him .
"As for you, you can"t remove your hand from the weapon, right? That"s good . " Ed looked at the leader as he had used his Telekinesis to bind his hand to Shusui . He let out a smile and the two of them disappeared from within the headquarters of the Blood sect army .
"You played me, you little b.a.s.t.a.r.d . " The leader, named Harald, frowned as he looked at his surroundings . He was behind the coalition army, surrounded by the kings of the kingdoms that opposed Blood sect .
"We"ll have you die right here . Good work Ed .
