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

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  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‘
