Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"What a ruthless little lass."

Long Qian Xing laughed lightly.

Very heartless, yet he found it to be of his liking. Rather than someone who would be hesitant at every turn because of her innocence, he would rather be with someone who was similar to him. Someone who was also ruthless and could treat themselves harsher than anyone else.

He didn't need a little saint by his side.

What he needed was someone who could understand him.

Even though her way of doing things might be a bit too drastic, Long Qian Xing didn't mind entertaining that little girl if that would please her.

'Back to the point.'

He glanced at the pile of information and the corner of his lips curled up to form a smirk. He was not like Luo Qing Wei who would care about the lives of his enemies and would think about how to keep them alive. If they were to go against him, he would kill them.

This is war.

He had no time to deal with those people who were forced to stay loyal.

Even if they were not very loyal to Zhang Xu Kingdom, they had to have the slightest bit of loyalty and decision to follow order. That was because they needed to have some kind of impression towards the object of their loyalty, be it items or person, before the technique could succeed.

He had already seen the record.

So he knew more in details.

'This will help the overall situation.'

Long Qian Xing called his men and asked for them to begin their preparation for these herbs. As long as they carried fragrance pouch or stayed in the room with the incense sticks that had this smell, they should be able to affect those special people.

Eh, men carrying fragrance pouch was weird?

As long as it could bring victory, the image didn't matter that much...

If they were bothered so much, they could keep it within their armor where no one would be able to see. If other people were to ask them... they could just say that their wife gave it to them.

That should be a good explanation.

While Long Qian Xing was scheming to make sure that his men followed the order, the soldiers shivered.

They felt that they would definitely face some kind of catastrophe soon.

...

<West Border of Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom>

Drap! Drap! Drap!

"Keep on moving!"

Yelling on top of his horse, Nan Luo was ordering his men to keep on moving. Xiao Yan was sitting behind him, helping him to control the horse as one of his legs were wounded just a few days ago.

He couldn't control his horse well.

But how could the commander stay inside the camp when the soldiers were all bitterly fighting at the frontline?

He couldn't do that.

So he asked Xiao Yan to help him control the horse while he gave the order and killed his enemies with his sword.

"We're about to go out of their entrapment!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Nan Luo pointed to the side and Xiao Yan quickly led the horse in that direction. He looked at the hill nearby where Feng Ao Kuai was already ready to shoot the arrows and gritted his teeth.

Just a bit more.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Slash!

The sound of metal clashing reverberated all around him.

Nan Luo kept on waiting until they had reached the line and shouted loudly, "Ao Kuai! NOW!"

"SHOOT!"

Feng Ao Kuai gave the archers order and they began to shoot the arrows.

This was the tactic that these two had been using from time to time, especially when they were facing small armies. Nan Luo would drag the enemies while Feng Ao Kuai trapped them and shot them all to their death.

Drap! Drap! Drap!

Climbing onto the small hill, Nan Luo waved at Feng Ao Kuai. "This area has a lot of small armies. Are you alright?"

"Better than you." Feng Ao Kuai passed a look at Nan Luo and then at Nan Luo's leg. He frowned. "We can retreat first."

"We had to wait until General Cao send the reinforcement to replace us. I think that we have sent the letter two weeks ago, right?" Nan Luo tilted his head.

General Cao was moved from Wei Da Kingdom's border to Zhang Xu Kingdom's border to help General Wei. He was now stationed at the very west area, which was just around a day or two day's away from where Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were located.

That was also where the main headquarter was located.

Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Luo had both sent letters to ask for more reinforcement, but none had arrived so far. This caused the two of them to have to fight bitterly in this frontline without daring to move back.

Feng Ao Si was also in this frontline, but he was located a day's away in the east direction from them.

Feng Ao Kuai didn't call him.

He didn't need his idiotic brother to get involved in this matter when they were already fighting so bitterly in this area. There was also the problem of not following their superior order if they tried to go back.

"He didn't seem to be willing to reply." Feng Ao Kuai's eyes gleamed coldly.

Nan Luo scratched the back of his head. "Then, what are we supposed to do? Wait here?"

Feng Ao Kuai rolled his eyes.

If they continued to wait here, it meant that there would be more of their soldiers who would be injured. Even now, they had lost 10% of their soldiers because they were defending this area fervently.

And if they moved back without authorization, it also meant that they would be reprimanded. Their future in the military would definitely be harder.

The two of them were still only 2000 men commander, not really that high ranked yet.

They were not authorized to move freely in this frontline yet.

For the time being, they were under General Cao.
