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 plague

Stolen story; please report.

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‘
