Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy

Our Iron Wielder... will keep sending his men to stake a challenge.

I'll use our blood to make you remember.

One day, we'll eventually...

stick the banners of Han Prefecture all over Tian Qi City's walls.

Commandant...

Please open the gates.

Commandant, please open the gates

and allow General Yu to challenge him to a fight!

Commandant, please open the gates

and allow General Yu to challenge him to a fight!

I'm a military officer of the Muru family.

Head of the Emperor’s Blade-carrying Guards.

Bestowed title, Tiger Valor General.

Yu Xin Ji...

acts upon command to challenge you to a fight.

Who is my opponent?

Muru Cavalry...

You do have quite the integrity.

You're not a coward.

Only a man like you is worthy of knowing my name.

I am... the Iron Wielder's personal guard, the Helan Clan's...

Helan Tuo Tuo!

You're a warrior of Han Prefecture.

You have my respect.

God Pandar...

You fought well.

Father.

It's too cold.

Head back to your tent.

Aren't the soldiers cold as well?

You're more important than them.

If we were to consider ourselves more important than others at all times

our soldiers would be dismayed at our behavior on the battlefield.

You're right.

It's been 10 some days.

We have yet to see any of our men return.

Our vanguard cavalry might really have... been wiped out at Scarlet Cloud Valley.

Our 150 elite cavalrymen were sent only to take out

tens of men at Han Prefecture's military camps.

Why would we lose so badly?

Don't say such depressing words again.

You still have to lead the army to war.

I'm just complaining to you.

Right now at this location, I'm your commander, not your father!

Someone has returned.

- Young Master. - Young Master.

General!

Father.

It's the corporal of the vanguard cavalry.

He's been dead for hours.

It seems that he bound himself to his war horse

when he was critically wounded and his horse brought him back.

The Muru Cavalry has great men like him.

Yet after a year in battle, we have not won.

I should be blamed for it.

Have him properly buried.

- Yes! - Yes!

Father, please take a look at this.

The people of Han Prefecture always knew of our army itinerary.

Their weapons are also crafted better and more refined.

When we first came to the prairie

their nine-arrow crossbow revolver was still too heavy to carry.

Yet now, it's becoming more and more refined.

Father, do you really not suspect that

someone in the royal court might be helping them?

Command our army.

If they are to run into Han Prefecture's crossbow revolver array

they must retreat and conserve our armed forces.

Yes.

I'm sending this back to the royal court.

His Majesty should take a look at it.

We have to know who has been crafting Han Prefecture's weapons.

I don't believe everyone's blind to it!

I don't believe they can't tell it's the Wise of Wan Prefecture!

I won't allow it.

We had 90,000 cavalrymen in the very beginning.

If we had deployed the entire army to Han Prefecture

all at once from the start, we could have ended this now.

Yet the royal court only allowed us to take 10,000 men.

10,000 men is enough!

But we only have equipment and rations for 3,000 men!

There's enough ration on the prairie of Han Prefecture.

As long as our war horses are fine, our military strength won't weaken.

Father...

You knew that the breed of Galloping Wind war horses can't take rough feed.

They can't be fed hay directly.

Now that our feed for the war horses is low in supply

how can we not be weakened?

It's obvious that there are villains in the royal court who are out to get us.

Father, why do you always avoid talking about it?

The Murus' mission is to pacify Han Prefecture.

We're here fighting in the front, but Arch Prince Ye is sabotaging us!

Isn't this sacrificing the men of the Muru Cavalry for nothing?

Arch Prince Ye and His Majesty are brothers.

If we were to expose this matter

how would His Majesty deal with such a situation?

Isn't this placing His Majesty in a dilemma?

Father, you're so empathetic toward His Majesty.

But when has His Majesty ever empathized with us?

How can the honorable Muru family be bullied to such an extent?

Muru Han Shan.

You should know very well...

His Majesty sent us here to pacify Han Prefecture's unrest.

If we fail to accomplish that, we will lose.

There is no excuse for the Muru Cavalry.

Having my surname as Muru...

I feel aggrieved.

Swallow down all your grievances!

The mission of the Muru family is to share His Majesty's burdens.

Has Father never once felt aggrieved?

Destroy this crossbow revolver.

This must not be made known to anyone!

Quit messing around.

Our great Fanla Kaiser!

He is finally bringing the radiance of sunshine to us!

Slow down!

So many of them are around. You can let go of my hand.

I won't.

It's awkward for humans to hold hands like this.

I won't let go!

Human! Will you forget all about me when you find the Sovereign Seal?

I won't, I won't.

Can I trust you?

You're such a nag!

You're even a king!

Aren't you one as well?

Just as you've said

we'll go and fetch that young lady who is on your mind.

We'll find Ha Sicong together to decipher the coded ball!

We'll find the Sovereign Seal together!

When you become the emperor of Novoland one day

you will fulfill the promise you made to the Wise of Sumo State!

You have to fulfill the promise that our ancestors made with the Humans

and let us return to the surface.

We get to build our home!

We get to have our own nation under the sun!

I'm not going anymore.

Where's that cage?

Lock me up.

The Wise never go back on our word.

I'm not going back on my word.

I've lied to you.

You "lied"?

What is that?

What does it mean to lie?

Although the Wise of Sumo State have long lived underground

the Dawn Feather Arrows of the Soarers' Snow Crane Troop

were all made by us.

The weapons we crafted for them can soar high with

the assassins of the Soarers who fly with the power of the moonlight!

Although that's only the moonlight--

Get straight to the point.

I saw a Soarer recently.

When I saw him, I was immediately captivated by him.

It's not that hard to win you over.

That night when I opened my door, I saw that pair of silver wings.

The wings that enveloped him were four times the size of me.

It looked like a gigantic egg!

The transparent feathers...

They absorbed the light from our fluorite

and were shimmering with a light green glow.

I watched as the light in the cave was absorbed by those wings...

Slowly, those wings spread to both sides.

There stood a pretty, young man.

He was smiling so beautifully.

Exactly! He had the same smile as you do now!

He smiled just like you!

What has that got to do with me?

I don't know him.

He said that he was the king of the Soarers.

He's the new leader of the Snow Crane Troop.

It's because our Dawn Feather Arrows were crafted so light, strong, and pretty

that he came specially to thank me.

In the end...

We chatted for three days.

Why? Just because his smile was pretty?

Because we're both kings without a nation.

Is it so great to be a king?

You're a human.

You'll never understand.

The Humans took over the lushest plains of Novoland.

Scatter and bury some seeds randomly into the ground

and nature will offer you surprises.

You don't have to worry about how to survive.

You only have to consider how to make your life even better.

Do you know what the other five tribes actually think?

Have you ever heard stories from a storyteller?

3,000 star years ago in Novoland, after the battle of the six tribes

the domains were divided into what we have now.

The Soarers can only live in Ning Prefecture.

The Giants aren't allowed to leave Shang Prefecture.

The Wise are good-natured and indifferent to fame.

You could live among the Humans.

The bad-tempered Oceanides can only live in the sea.

As for the Charmers...

They don't even seem to interact with themselves.

Therefore, I don't know what the other five tribes think.

We've hardly met.

We never had a chance to chat.

Yet all five tribes know what the Humans are thinking.
