Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"The mountain?" one of the few commanders asked in confusion. Even though higher terrain would give them the benefit of being able to look at the enemies, would it be useful when the opponent might have prepared traps for them?

These territories belonged to Fan Yi Kingdom, right? If they were to walk into a trap straight away, that wouldn't be funny.

"This area had been under Fei Yang Kingdom for a period of time and they only manage to take it back again. How long do you think it'll take to make a thorough trap?" Long Qian Xing knew very well that it would be impossible for them to make such detailed trap in limited amount of time.

This was the basis of his confidence.

But of course, he would not make such a low level mistake of only making one plan and didn't have any backup whatsoever.

"If they did have trap, then we…"

It took nearly an incense stick of time for Long Qian Xing to explain his entire plan to his commanders. The plans were temporarily made after looking at the way Great General Ji handled the battle this time.

It was not very thorough and Long Qian Xing also knew that. "General, what if General Kai fell short quickly?" one of the commanders suddenly asked. If General Kai were to surrender or lose faster than their expectation, wouldn't it mean that they would have to face an even bigger army?

"If General Kai were to fall so quickly, it just meant he's weak." Long Qian Xing didn't like General Kai that much. If not because Fei Yang Kingdom's lack of manpower, he was absolutely sure that a person like General Kai would never be used.

Thankfully, they have strengthened their kingdom more during this period of time. Even if General Kai were to fail, there would be other commanders replacing him. They might not be at the rank of generals, but a few 5000 men commanders would do.

The commanders were speechless as they looked at the general in front of them.

Is that the point?

They knew that if General Kai were to fail, it meant that he was so weak and the trust Fei Yang Kingdom gave to him didn't seem to be rewarded. But at the very least, he had managed to guard the border well so far.

Though, they were absolutely sure that during this time, none of the three kingdoms (now two) wanted to attack him seriously.

The problem was that if General Kai were to fail so quickly, the soldiers from Fan Yi Kingdom would swarm towards them, got it? Their number was already at disadvantage and if they have to face even more soldiers…

That didn't seem to be very good.

Long Qian Xing knew what they were thinking. "General Jun will have arrived by the time General Kai fell. At that time, our lack in manpower would be alleviated slightly."

General Jun.

Hearing that name, the commanders were somewhat energized. After seeing Nan Hua fought on the frontline and chopped the enemies bravely and vigorously, they felt that they had opened their eyes to see the new world.

Who would have thought that such a small body would contain so much power?

It was amazing.

"General Jun will arrive soon?"

"She's not far behind us and will probably arrive when we're in the middle of the battle." Long Qian Xing then thought about Yu Jin and pursed his lips.

Not long ago, he received the letter that told him that Yu Jin would be redeployed to the south. He didn't understand why they wanted to take her back when the north border was being attacked like this.

But before this meeting, his men had given him a letter from Shangguan Xiao and his father. The two of them were telling him to finish the battle quickly because Shi Long Kingdom was launching vigorous attacks.

The Emperor was angry and had ordered them to defend.

But there was no suitable counterattack method they could think of so far to prevent Shi Long Kingdom from attacking fiercely. With such a long border between the two kingdoms, the situation was a bit of stalemate.

"Go to rest. We're going to fight again tomorrow." "Yes, General!"

Dismissing the meeting, Long Qian Xing headed to his tent that had been prepared. There were still soldiers arranged to make sure that they would not be ambushed at night. He put his sword beside his bed and then lit up the incense stick at the side.

The number of his incense sticks had decreased rapidly, but he didn't have suitable time to ask for Nan Hua to make new ones.

'Maybe I can use this reason to spend more time with her?'

Long Qian Xing rubbed his chin and chuckled.

He was not very worried about the war because he was confident that this place would not be ambushed. Besides, knowing that Strategist Song was a person who would not wrong himself and also had high confidence, he knew that there was no way that person would stay awake and think about various strategies.

For him, it would be better for him to rest well and think about other problems at the morning after the night arrangement was over.

With his intelligence, this was not an impossible feat.

Laying on the bed, Long Qian Xing closed his eyes, ready to rest for the night.

…

The night passed by quietly for Long Qian Xing.

Unfortunately, it was not the same for General Kai and his soldiers under him. Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of rigorous battle hadn't stopped.

General Kai has been fighting against General Huang for the entire night. Their soldiers were tired on both sides, but neither was willing to admit defeat.

So what if they were tired?

It doesn't mean that they would die immediately. Bang!

General Kai took a deep breath as he distanced himself from General Huang. The two of them had hold the title of general for several years and at this time, they were looking at each other fiercely.
