I BELIEVE IN YOU

PART 22 - THIRD DATE 1/2

                                    Dedicated to my favorite teacher and good friend 🤍

Shen Wei and Yunlan appeared in Shen Wei's tent. Tori was there and told Wei that the troops were assembling in front of the gate. "Do you want your horses? I saddled them and they are waiting by the gate. If not, the stable master will take them back."

"Tori, take them back. This will be a large army coming and I don't want them to get hurt."

Yunlan and Shen Wei looked at each other for several seconds past a minute. "I have to go to my troops. We'll meet after the battle, Okay?" Yunlan said with a faint smile.

"I'll see you later," Shen Wei said, watching Yunlan as he teleported out of the tent.

Yunlan radioed Da Qing, "Are the troops getting ready? Are the trucks ready? Over"

"Yes, Major General," Da Qing reported on the radio "They finished arming themselves and are assembling at the gate with General Hei Pao Shi's troops. Over."

"Take all the bazookas, rockets and fire rockets in the trucks. Tell the drivers to keep them behind our lines. Tell all qualified troops they are available when the enemy gets close to the building, Over."

"Roger that Major General. Over."

"Get going asap. Split up the troops into three groups and approach from their flanks and front. Get their location from Command. Over and out."

There was a lot of background noise and Da Qing was busy, yelling orders. He had to put Shen Wei out of his mind and concentrate on the battle. It was difficult. He called Chu and told him to find 3 soldiers qualified for Bazookas, arm them and have them sneak behind enemy lines or near the end of the enemy column. "Blow them up! Use the fire rockets! "Cut off the tail!"

At Police Headquarters:

Yezun's troops made it through the portal in waves, traps and snipers and drones whittled down the first soldiers out, but they kept coming for the Police Station. Yunlan got the report with the other armed forces. The enemy had 20,000 troops armed with arrows, spears and swords. They had some kind of shielding that stopped bullets and were moving at a rapid pace to the Headquarters. They avoided the roads and went cross-country, after storming through the empty downtown area.

The soldiers of the Marines, Army, Air Force, and Shen Wei's specialized troops were too late to use the hammer and anvil. Yezun's army vanguard had set up a siege of the building, surrounding it, about 100 feet from the front door. They didn't have the firepower to break into it. Their primitive weapons were useless until they were in hand to hand fighting or in the building.

On the field:

Shen Wei saw the black cloud first appear in the field he was leading his troops across. He called his guards to him. They surrounded him and when Yezun stepped out he was immediately held by strings from Shen Wei and Hong Chen. At the same time Zhu Ting put him to sleep and he crumpled. Xin Ling and Shen Wei poured memories of their youth into him. Shen Wei had shared his memories with Xin Ling earlier.

Memories manifested as dreams in the mind of sleeping Yezun. Shen Wei felt a small voice inside his head. "Ge, help me. Ge, I am lost here. Where are you?"

"Didi! I'm here. You are held captive in your body by a ghost or demon. Do you know which?"

"Shen Wei, brother. I'm lost. The captor knows me from our youth with Kunlun. He is the one who beat us. He is an evil ghost."
