Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Are you tired, General Kai?" General Huang asked, his fingers twirl the large and long glaive easily.

General Kai sneered. "This much will not be enough to make me tired. Do you think that I'll end the battle so easily for you, General Huang?"

"Oh. I thought that you're tired." General Huang smiled provocatively. They were all used to see other annoying generals on the battlefield taunting them. This has become the norm for so many years.

"You're dreaming!" The inception of this chapter's publication is linked to N(Ov3l.B1n.

Drap! Bang!

Smashing the sword in General Huang's direction, General Kai began his rampart attacks. The advantage of using sword was that it had shorter length, making it easier to move around as compared to glaive.

But the sword has shorter reach as compared to glaive, which made it not easy for him to wound General Huang no matter which direction he took. This was the reason why the battles didn't end at all even after several hours of fighting.

On the other hand, General Huang had longer reach, but he was not as fast as General Kai when reacting to the attacks. This resulted in him failing to launch a proper attack towards General Kai and most of his attack was defended.

Just like now.

The sword hit the metal handle of the long glaive and General Huang stepped forward, thrusting the sharp edge of the glaive towards General Kai.

However, General Kai had already jumped to the side and moved his sword in front of him, blocking the attack effectively.

Clang!

The two metals clashed against each other, failing to injure the two people who were wielding the weapon.

"Tsk." General Kai clicked his tongue. He felt that the battle was getting longer and longer, but he could only try his best to fight against General Huang. In terms of martial arts, the two of them have similar skills.

The only difference would be…

Who among them would break this stalemate?

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two generals were still fighting fiercely in the middle of the battlefield. Their commanders and other soldiers were also trying their best to control the situation and made sure that their general would not put in disadvantage nor to be surrounded.

After all, neither side was willing to fail in this place.

The number of soldiers under General Huang and General Kai were quite similar in number. Most of the other soldiers followed Great General Ji to make a breakthrough in other areas and to counter the reinforcement for Fei Yang Kingdom.

They needed more soldiers because they were the main force.

But General Kai didn't seem to realize it and focused on the battle in front of him. As a general, his awareness towards other areas was very lacking. *yawn*

In the headquarter, Strategist Song walked out of the tent and yawned. He stretched his body, which looked more like worm squirming considering he had no arms, and looked at the situation on the battlefield in front of him. "Did Master send any message?"

"They didn't manage to find General Xing after a long time and choose to rest and guard the area," one of the soldiers reported.

"Resting?" Strategist Song thought of his Master's age and nodded. With Great General Ji's advance age, it was indeed impossible for him to be active for the entire day and night to fight against the other commanders.

It would be better to conserve his strength unless it was absolutely necessary.

Their Emperor requested for them to win this battle, but it didn't say that they had to go with a bang and go straight to the opponent's capital city.

Considering the distance and the enemies they might encounter on the way, one month would already be considered fast.

"How's General Huang?"

"General Huang is still very energetic and busy fighting against General Kai."

"He didn't try to circle the soldiers?"

"The two of them are equally matched." The soldier paused for a while, considering how to break the news to Strategist Song. "Both sides tried the same tactic, so it's not very useful and didn't work out."

Strategist Song pursed his lips.

Couldn't General Huang think of other ways? There were many other ways to force General Kai to surrender to him. But considering that it was the middle of the night and they were not completely familiar with the terrain, General Huang's action was considered to be the most conservative and safest.

It was just that for Strategist Song, this kind of strategy was stupid.

"Tell the soldiers to prepare and make waves attack." Strategist Song looked at the battlefield in front of him and smiled faintly. "It's time to launch an effective attack."

The soldiers had chills down their spine when they saw Strategist Song's smile. Having worked with this young man and saw what he did back then… they were scared when they saw his smile.

Because they knew what this smile represent.

But they could only follow his order because he was their direct superior.

"Yes, Strategist Song!"

…

<Long Qian Xing's side>

The night was completely peaceful.

Knowing that Great General Ji didn't have any plan to ambush him, Long Qian Xing was relieved. He had made the plans for both situation, in which Great General Ji ambushed him and Great General Ji didn't ambush him.

This way, he would be prepared no matter what situation thrown to him. "General Xing, we're ready."

By the time Long Qian Xing finished his breakfast and changed his armor, the soldiers were also ready. They got up before dawn in order to prepare everything that was necessary.

Staying here for a long term period was definitely a big no.

"Let's go. Have you found their whereabouts?" Long Qian Xing looked at Long Xu at the side. Since Great General Ji is not attacking them, he ordered that several team of scout to be sent out when they woke up in order to confirm Great General Ji's camps.

After all, they needed to rest for a night and thousands of soldiers would definitely need a large area for camp.

It was not that hard to find it as long as they could get close and not found out by the guards.
