"No! I will not come with you!"

Ju Long refused to come, but Yun didn't care about his rejection when he said. "You will be there with all the people from your clan to help or else I will come after you." He said coldly before he gave the horse a tap on its hindquarters with his leg.

Senja looked at Yun and Ju Long back and forth before she followed the white hair man, leaving the angry Ju Long behind.

"Yun! You can't treat me like this!" He roared, but of course Yun couldn't hear his protest as he had ran a few meters ahead.

It was a gloomy night without the moonlight, only the flickered of the campfire that Yun and Senja left behind that illuminated the whole place. With death body of the soldiers scattered all over the ground, it wasn't a pleasant sight to see.

After sometime, someone descended from tree nearby and knelt in front of Ju Long.

"What is your order Master?" He asked with the voice laced with respect.

Ju Long sighed deeply, he couldn't ignore Yun's order, he owed him his life. "Gather all the clan members and meet me in the border of the Capital City."

Without saying anything the mysterious man nodded and disappeared into the darkness.

"I hope this can pay off my debt."

.....

It took a week before Senja and Yun reached the village near capital city.

The cities and districts that both of them had been passing by was in the same condition as L city district 11, destruction everywhere.

"The Emperor had lost his mind." Senja exclaimed when she watched those people on the street.

They were the villagers near the Capital City who was houses and their belongings had been burnt into ashes.

"He didn't need to do this right?" Senja felt heartache when she sensed their despair. This made her feeling down somehow.

"His mind has long gone." Yun answered.

Both of them were walking the ruin and debris of the houses and street while holding the rein of their horses.

It had been a week since Xiao Jun's army invaded the Capital City. For now they must have made a perimeter inside the city as both of them saw the gates to the capital city were shut closed.

"Jun trapped the Emperor inside." Yun said when they saw the smoke from inside and around the outside of the gates

It was mean Xiao Jun needed to dethrone the current Emperor before the backup from outside the capital city's gate could make an entrance into the city.

"Xiao Jun locked down the Capital City?" Senja said, more like an affirmation than a question.

"Yes." Yun furrowed his eyebrows. "He will concentrate the defense on the gates and any entrance access…"

Yun had been collecting all the information along the way to the Capital City with the way Senja couldn't understand. The white hair man had many spies everywhere, but to think that his brother was a spy himself, Senja wasn't surprised with that.

This whole week, Xiao Jun's armies had managed to block the back up from the outside of the city's gates. The only thing that they need to accomplish now was to enter the palace and dethrone the Emperor, however it seemed something must have happened inside there.

If they could manage to isolate the city for a week and kept the backup out of their way despite there were traitors among Xiao Jun's people, why they couldn't penetrate the palace until now? By this time, Xiao Jun and Xiao Tianyao should have shown the result.

Senja looked down from the hill to the dozens of tents that littered near the city's gate.

"If they couldn't be able to enter the city," Yun pointed his chin toward the tents of Azura's Army. "It will be nearly impossible for us to sneak in too." His eyebrows wrinkled in concentration, wasn't sure what he should do next.

The options that left were; they could wait and see for the result, waiting for Xiao Jun to usurp the throne and opened the Capital City's gates or waiting for the Azura's army managed to penetrate the city's gate.

Both options required indefinite amount of time that Yun didn't have. He wanted to fulfill his promise to Senja and met Riana as soon as possible. He didn't have more patience to wait for the uncertainty, but if battalions of army couldn't pass through Xiao Jun's defense moreover the two of them, and this fact irritated him.

"Well… all we should do is to sneak in right?" Senja contemplated while looking at the lockdown city.

"Yes, and this almost impossible…" Yun muttered in annoyance.

However, Senja turned around and faced him, the bright smile on her lips saying that she didn't agree with Yun's statement.

"Impossible, huh?" She said smugly.

Yun raised his brows. "What? Do you think you can infiltrate the city?"

"Well… You can say so…" Senja drawled while devilish grin appeared on her lips.
