Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 543: The secret pouches

It wasn't too fast or too late.

Today was the exact same day when Senja arrived at the capital city with Yun and was being trapped by Elder Zhong inside the palace hall where she watched helplessly Uncle Su was killed by Wang Yu while Xiao Jun fought Modama and how Xiao Tianyao fought Elder Zhong and Xiao Zi at the same time with his battered body.

Senja's horse galloped alongside with Yi Qing and Gong Xu while the two elders were riding their horses in the front line.

Suddenly, Elder Fu raised his hand and put them into stop.

The entourage of armed forces halted as the neighing of the horses echoed through the open area.

"We will go a different way starting from here." Elder Fu announced.

The soldiers who they had brought was split into three groups, the first group was led by Elder Chen and Gong Xu and the second group was led by Elder Fu and Yi Qing while the remaining fifty archers was led by Senja.

As she was insisting to come along into the battlefield the elders only agreed if she involved from afar and her position to lead the archers was suit her condition well. Senja couldn't reject it.

As the archer, it wasn't a necessary to be in the battlefield, but she could help to assist them from the safe place.

After they had split into three groups, the fifty archers stood behind Senja in a row.

"Be careful." Senja said to them.

"You too." The elders smiled and galloped away, brought enormous forces behind them.

The thundering sound of hooves against the ground was deafening, leaving grasses swirled with the wind on their wake. Senja looked at them until their figure gradually disappeared.

The sun was scorching hot that made her slightly lightheaded, but with a firm voice he said to the archers behind her.

"Follow me!"

........

The capital city of Azura was surrounded by mountain and hill with vast plains in between and there was two different ways to get there.

The most common route was the road that usually used to enter the capital through Xingwen street, this main street connected capital city and L city, and usually used as trades routes between the two cities.

However, ever since the war had broken and took place at the capital city, Xingwen street was emptied from the citizen. There were only armed soldiers with full body armor could be seen.

Xiao Tianyao's army along with the Crescent Moon Member and The Shadow Guard, even though had been cornered to the capital entrance gates, still managed to hold their ground. Preventing them from entering the capital city that had been locked down from inside by Xiao Jun.

The other route to reach the capital city was through the mountain in the western part of the city. This route usually used as the fastest route to reach L city or for someone who flew away from the capital city. Not everyone wanted to try it because the mountain path was so tricky and confusing.

As for Senja to choose this route was because one of the man that she brought knew this mountain very well, as he raised in the capital city and this mountain was akin to his playground, thus Senja wouldn't be worry if they would get lost.

The archery team dismounted their horses and needed to go through the woods by foot. There were many thorny plants that would cut the horses body, it wouldn't be a good choice to let the poor animal jumping around and hurt the person who sat atop them in every cut that they received.

The fifty archery and Senja put masked over their nose and mouth while carrying their bows and quiver on their back, and then tied a belt around their waist with dozens of small pouches dangling from it before entered the woods in two rows with two person were cutting the plants to make it easier for the people behind them to walk.

Senja was walking in the safest spot in the middle. In spite they were walking slowly because of the obstacle, but it didn't take them long time to reach the spot that they were headed.

Less than two hours, they were standing on the edge of the steep rock. Below, they could see clearly hundred thousand of soldiers fought ferociously. Clashing sword, furious roaring, harsh order and the spurting blood that could smell in the air, as if they could taste a metal in their tongue.

Silently, Senja was relieved that she heard the elder advice and didn't come into the war. It was hard to tell, who was friend or foe if it wasn't because their different color of armor.

Xiao Tianyao's troops were wearing white shining armor while Azura's army were wearing golden, meanwhile the troops that the two elders had brought were wearing brown.

They were blending in the vast plains below Senja's feet, the purple hair girl was standing unfazed looking down at the chaotic battle.

"ARCHERS TO THE READY!" She shouted out loud.

In the next second the fifty archers have standing in line at her right and left.

Senja held the bow with her left hand and took an arrow from the quiver behind her back, but before she shot the arrow, she tied a small pouch on the shaft of the arrow. The rest followed her action.

They secured the small pouch before pulled the string.

"TAKE YOUR AIM!" Her voice boomed when she aim to the cavalries bellow.

The small pouches that were dangling from the tip of the arrows had a strong fragrance. This was their true purposes.

Xiao Tianyao had thought about this strategy. He had asked Gong Xu, which he claimed he was being threatened by him, to make a strong sedative.

The archery's aim wasn't their enemies but to deliver the small pouches that filled with sedative fragrance, in order to not get affected by it, they had drank an antidote beforehand, including Xiao Tianyao's army, that was why they would be fine.

However, the smell was too strong and they couldn't help to put mask over their nose and mouth to neutralize the fragrance.

Senja herself had vomited twice along the trip to this spot.

Their purposed now was to deliver the sedative into the battlefield and weakened their enemies, with a great distance between them, it was hard to tell if they would shoot their own people, thus the pointed tip of the arrows were made dull.

"NOW!"
