The court is in turmoil by itself


    Fingers pointing at each other


    None dare to speaks truthfully


    None dare to bring harmony


    Rebellion has swept the realm


    The empire is on the verge of breaking


    Pretenders to the throne has risen and fell


    One of those are in the western province


    The western provinces have gone on spiritual frenzy


    Once it was the prosperous provinces in the realm


    Then a usurper has arisen to challenge the emperor


    Despite has no lineage to prove such audacious claim


    The usurper claim divinity while her cult spread like plagueIf you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    They gain follower in droves without interference


    Locals officials are too afraid to confront them openly


    Or perhaps they were also persuaded to join the ranks


    The Emperor finest has been sent across the realm


    Sent to quell the unrest across the realm


    Leaving but the young and inexperienced warrior


    They are the last defense for the Emperor and his court


    And so, armies being sent into west to pacify the rebel


    The first one went and shortly being shattered in battle


    The second and third one would soon lose and deserting the court


    The losses for the imperial army only swollen the rebel ranks.


    Seeing the odds stacked against him, he realizes his situation


    The rebels are marching with the number and power to defeat any army


    His army is inferior, both in number and quality


    The Old General need to make radical action


    He denied them any hope of resting as homes are burning


    He denied them battle as no armies meet them


    He denied them food and water as he razed the fields


    He denied them respite as assassins and saboteurs roams the land


    In the end the Old General did his duties


    He only gives the enemy pain and misery


    He turns their defeats into his victory


    He turned the rebel army into a walking husk


    With such task accomplished


    The general can’t helped himself to admire


    He slowed the most dangerous rebel groups


    And rumor has it that their leader has fallen ill


    For him victory has finally being achieved


    The rebel army may still roam the countryside


    But they’ll never threatened the capital anymore


    The Old General only needs to wait for the reinforcement


    After the reinforcement arrived and squashed the enemy


    The Old General join cleaning the remnants of the rebellion


    For his service the Emperor gave him many rewards


    He is given the title of ‘The great western defender of the Empire‘
