That same day Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi arrive at Jingzhuo's gates seeing two large armored soldiers guarding the gate as they pass and seeing metal men patrolling the streets, Geared up blue women guarding important areas, and what got them stun is the big armored giants who gaurd the gates as one of them glare at them as they pass by and Creatures with four arms moving a carriage without any horses or wheels.
Cao Zhi: "who are they and what are they doing here?"
What got there attention are these small orbs of different ordements and colors follow or hover by the people wearing cloaks, robes and, fully armored.
Cao Zhang: "we'll talk to father about this."

When they arrived at the castle they walked in and their father writing down scrolls possibly writing down his report to the Imperial palace in Xuchang.
C

ao Zhang: "greetings Father."
Cao Zhi: "greetings Father."

Cao Cao: "ah my sons i heard you have taken the North and reach the Sea, i am happy to see you victorious."
Cao Zhang: "thank you father, Yuan Shao has died from illness and his sons were fighting amongst themselves for their father's Inheritance, it was an easy victory for Wei."
Cao Cao: "even Yuan Shao is my enemy, he is my friend and a hero of the realm, shame he let his nobility get the hold of him."
Cao Zhi: "father we came here with the army as soon as i receive news that you were attacked."
Cao Cao: "thank you but there is no need to worry, The Vanguard Coalition saved us."
Cao Zhi: "Coalition?"
Cao Cao: "a force of Guardians, Cabal, Awoken, Eliksni from a planet called Earth and beyond, they have weapons that one soldier can kill thousands and powers that god would give."
Cao Zhang: "are they here to occupy, or did they sworn allegiance to you."
Cao Cao: "no, their original plan was to rescue stranded Guardians and when they did it brought their enemies along with them."
Cao Zhang "and what about our enemies?"
Cao Cao: "we agreed to have an armistice with Liu Bei and Sun Quan."
Cao Zhang: "what!?" This shocked Zhang with anger.
Cao Zhang: "first they bring their enemies here and now they're telling us what to do?"
Cao Zhang: "brother calm down, being angry will not solve anything."
Cao Cao: "indeed, for now we must cooperate with the Vanguard and our enemies in order to fight off the invaders..."

Later leaving the Cao residence they met Cao Hong drinking alone so they join him at the table.
Cao Zhang: "uncle what is with a glumly face?"
Cao Hong: "it is about a Guardian who think he'll have his way around us."
Cao Zhang: "what does he look like?" Hong gave the details about the man as he gritted his teeth telling them about it.
Cao Hong: "he's a nobody and claims to be the best, i will give you a couple of elite archers so we can show him who he's messing with."
Cao Zhang: "do you know where he is?"
Cao Hong: "the Legislation they called, he is being tutored by Lady Cai."
Zhang took a moment after hearing her name as it's been a while since he met her.
Cao Zhang: "don't worry uncle i will come back with good news."
Cao Zhi: "brother wait we mustn't-"
Cao Zhang: "nonsense im not going kill him, i will show him why we are are the best warriors."

Meanwhile Wang Yi was Eavesdropping and heard everything from behind the corner before seeing them leave. at first she wanted to ignore them but she had a gut feeling something wasn't right just to let them do it.
Wang Yi: (i have to warn Raiden before he's gets into trouble- ugh.) she clutch her wound on her hip as she makes her way out to warn Raiden.
Wang Yi: (damn it..."

At the Legislation Raiden was getting lessons by Wenji who gave him a tasks of writing a poem which Raiden is starting to have problems with.
Cai Wenji: "is there anything you know?"
Raiden: "i am a Guardian of 8 years, what do I know about poems?"
Cai Wenji: "to understand us you have to make a poem to make us moved by it."
Raiden: "move by what emotions what the f-"
Cai Wenji: "language." They heard footsteps running in the hall as Raiden took a step out and saw Wang Yi.
Wang Yi: "Raiden!"
Raiden: "whoa whoa what's wrong?"
Wang Yi: "Cao Hong send two men with a dozen soldiers to confront you."
Raiden: "what do you mean by that?"
Wang Yi: "they're going to try to threaten you with force."
Raiden: "who are they?"
Wang Yi: "Cao Cao's third son, Cao Zhang."
Raiden: "that son of a-"
Cai Wenji: "again language."
