Episode 31: Meeting Steelsmith! Into Hwan-Mong Outfields

  May 21, 1800 Shailand  

Daniel was about to start on the second half of Shailand, Tracy was heading back to the main area of Shailand to do some guard duty. Corporal Steelsmith is waiting for him in Hwan-Mong Outfields where trouble is brewing, lets just hope Daniel hurries to the scene to help him out. Reaching his spot he breathed a sigh of relief for a second, yet they still have work to do once they got down to business. Although Steelsmith does has his nice side he can be a complete prick to lower ranks, its a way for him to weed out the weak ones that do some work.

|Oh, its about time you showed up! Hey don't look at me saying you were doing some work around here, the first half of Shailand was quite easy for you Daniel. Besides now your heading into Steel Jack's territory in the second half. You better come prepared to deal with Steel Jack my friend, for this time he shall kill you no question about it. I've been working out here for quite some time now, however I still don't have clues on where his location is. He must be with the warlord that has the emperor's daughter, yes I know that the warlord his hidden somewhere as well. However we need to focus on cleaning this place first before we think about anything else, the warlord's henchmen are out here causing trouble as usual. I don't know where he is located so don't ask me about that, however that were your going to get your good points. First I want you to go fight some of those annoying Wang-Sher Poison Shooters, at least you will be doing some work for me then. If they have something bring it back to me without destroying it, we need anything good that can help us find the henchman. Um why are you still standing there Daniel? I say to go fight those guys now!| Daniel hurried off to find the Poison Shooters.

Daniel felt like he was back in Felindon again with this Corporal, however if he doesn't want to get this treatment he better get started. Walking down the path he felt like he was being watched from the trees, sure enough as he took on step a dart land near the tip of his foot. So its safe to say the Wang-Sher Poison Shooter found him easily, now he has to carefully fight them trying not to get hit by a dangerous dart. Well after a good thirty minutes he found something strange, so he went back to Corporal Steelsmith to see what was this thing. However it seems that the Corporal didn't know what this thing was in his possession, yet he sent him to someone else to deal with all that crap.

|What in the heck is this thing?! Don't look at me I don't know what this thing holds, well this looked to be something not useful to use. Oh so you want me to see if someone knows about this strange thing, very well at least I can clear my mind from you for a little while. However make sure you do everything he says I don't want failure, go speak to Wan-Hwa-Tong he might know what these strange symbols stand for. Get going we don't have much time to lose out here, besides I have a headache just dealing with the monsters all around here.| Daniel left his spot to find Wan-Hwa-Tong.

Walking down the path he felt a bit relived that he was out of his way, the shouting was getting on his nerves very much. Reaching the area Wan-Hwa-Tong smiled as he saw a marine coming towards him, he knows that some marines ask for help out here. He kind of had the feeling that this one needed his help, so he offered a little bit of what he knows.

|Oh Steelsmith sent you here for a little help with this, its seems like they got a letter from the warlord here. Well from the looks of it I can tell you he is pretty nervous about you marines, however that's not all that he's worried about right now. Steel Jack is on his mind for the meantime of that matter, he is in big trouble if he cant stop you in the second part. That means that Steel Jack might handle things himself for a change, you'll be able to defeat him if your men work together. Yet let's keep focus on the henchmen we are looking for now, you might have to fight something in order to get you need from them. I saw some Yu-Go Slash runners not far from my spot Daniel, you should be a bit cautious about those guys my little friend. They tend to dismember there opponents that get too close, make sure your brigade is ready for them in these parts my friend. So you better get going to fight them now, just be careful I don't want to see you die at a young age.| Daniel went off to fight some Yu-Go Slash Runners.

They were quick with there attacks so you wouldn't know until it was too late, luckily Daniel spotted quickly down the path. As he reached them he nearly had to jump for they were ready to shred him heavily, after a good fifty minutes he found something good on them. Going back Wan-Hwa-Tong he gave him the piece of paper, its was a great clue for he found who's been controlling these guys from the start.

|Well done, buddy! We finally know who's leading these guys out here, he's another henchman of the warlord that An-Chwen. He located at the end of the path in his dojo you wont miss it my Daniel, once you get there defeat him so we can get some piece out here. Don't worry I'll tell your friend Corporal Steelsmith about what you did here, at least he can be nice to you for once. However you cant change the ways of some marines that's true, yet deep down I think that he's new to this place out here. Well we wont be able to do that if you just stand here Daniel, go defeat An-Chwen then come back to meet Steelsmith he'll be waiting for you to return after the battle.| Daniel left the area to find the dojo.

Walking down the path he finally found the dojo where An-Chwen was located, this battle wasn't going to be easy for him one bit. An-Chwen is quite a mysterious person to deal with when you face him, so you have to be extremely careful around him. Going inside he saw some guards with him ready to fight, they were a good bit of slashmen with him so this will make things very interesting. Like always he has his brigade with him in tough battles, going into battle he was ready to face whatever was going to hit him. After a good forty minutes he finally defeated An-Chwen, yet not without a few scratches here and there by the looks of things. Going back on the path he wanted to report back to his friend, yet Corporal Steelsmith was there to take his place. I guess he did tell him everything that he did out here.

|Well done, Daniel! I'll admit your the first person I've seen do something good for once, my other lower ranks didn't get the task done like I wanted them. However just because you've gotten good points doesn't mean your done, there are two more higher ranks in different areas asking for some help. The next person is Corporal Dawnhunter in the place know as the Dong-Jyr Village, he has been asking for help ever since he got there. We're close to Steel Jack we all know it by now my friend, yet the warlord will come first still so get prepared were in for a long battle. However you cant go to the village just yet its too dark to venture, besides that's when the most ambushes come when you least expect it. There is a rest house near my area before you did you missions here, go there and rest for the night you've earn your paces for now. Just remember as a young marine you have to learn about your strength, it is something that we can not teach you at all...its something that you must learn on your own. Dismiss!| Daniel saluted as he went to his sleeping areas.

Patrick closed the book slowly on another chapter as he went to bed, Daniel's battle with Steel Jack is getting closer every second...yet we might have to wait to see what approaches us.
