Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

General Ruan sighed but didn't say anything.

What had been engraved into their bones would not be easy to change. Even he had to admit that compared to his daughter, he preferred his son. He glanced to the side and saw two men came forward.

"General Ruan, General Qiang," the two of them greeted.

"General Jia, General Lei, there's a change in the situation." General Ruan looked at the two of them closely. These two were recruited midway their journey when they established Shi Long Kingdom's power in the previous cities. Because they were capable enough, Shi Long Kingdom was willing to reuse them. "I see that." General Jia's expression was gloomy. He was the smallest and thinnest among the four generals. Not to mention, he was not very young and the main reason why he was recruited was because of his mind and also his action that showed loyalty to Shi Long Kingdom.

But he himself knew that the main reason why he chose Shi Long Kingdom was because they said that he could have great life in the future.

As someone who was ambitious, he would naturally not miss this chance.

In this battle, he was staying at the back and didn't really lead the soldiers to clash against the three families. But as a result, he was also the clearest to see Fei Yang Kingdom's appearance that suddenly broke into their battle.

Their number was large and if the three families chose to side with Fei Yang Kingdom, it meant badly for them.

"They're quite strong," General Lei commented.

Unlike General Jia who was old and seemed weak, General Lei might be a middle aged man, but he was very energetic and powerful. He led the soldiers to clash against Pan Lei Yin and hadn't had the chance to see the two generals from Fei Yang Kingdom.

From looking at it from the distance, he could guess that the battle against the three families might be even more difficult with the intervention from Fei Yang Kingdom.

"The two generals are quite famous." General Qiang sneered. "If they're not powerful, then they're not worthy of those fame."

The other generals nodded.

General Jia had a thoughtful expression on his face. He joined with Shi Long Kingdom earlier than General Lei, so he had been exposed to various pieces of news from the outside world.

He had to admit that all these times, he had been living at the bottom of the well.

The world outside was so vast and there were so many powerful people he had never knew before.

Yet, what he knew was only his small city where he had been staying for his entire life.

What a shame. But it was not too late now that he had met with Shi Long Kingdom and chose to join with them. The problem they faced now was how to deal with the three families once they cooperated with Fei Yang Kingdom?

Those two generals would not be so easy to deal with.

"Send a letter back." General Ruan made the instant decision. "Those generals can be called for help."

The few generals who were scattered on their way to the south because it didn't seem necessary were still there. It would take a few days, but in the meantime, they would also deal with these two.

"Tsk, so afraid of them." General Qiang grumbled but he still instructed his men to send the letter.

Unlike General Ruan who would consider many things before making a move, General Qiang felt that it was completely unnecessary. So when he heard General Ruan wanted to call those generals and army back, he felt that it was truly unnecessary.

"Will it be fine?" General Jia asked.

"It doesn't matter." General Ruan was calm. This stability of his and the fact that he was not willing to take big risk was the main reason why he was never promoted again. But it was enough for him.

As a general, he had to pay attention to the lives of his men. If he were to act recklessly just for the sake of achievements, he would be betraying their trust.

What he wanted was for the overall good of Shi Long Kingdom.

Whether he got the merit or not was not that important.

If it was just small matters, General Ruan would just let it pass without even bothering to take another look.

"The morale is taking a big hit," General Lei reminded. "It might be worth paying more attention."

"The soldiers under you two didn't know much about General Xing and General Jun." General Qiang looked at General Lei and General Jia. He didn't really like these two people, but it was the order to have them promoted as general and served Shi Long Kingdom, so he had to listen. "But you have to remember to be careful when facing the two of them."

"Be careful? You're the one at the front, so you should say it for yourself." General Jia looked at General Qiang back.

General Qiang sneered. "Do you think I won't be careful? I have already restrained myself enough in front of those two."

If he hadn't restrained himself, he would not have followed the damn gong rule and retreated. Instead, he would have fought against Nan Hua and Ye Shu Ken until the very end.

At this moment, he completely forgot that he was the one at the disadvantage in that battle. Should the battles continued, it would not be certain who will have the final laugh but the chance for it to be himself was very small.

"Enough." General Ruan looked at these two and rubbed his forehead.

The personality of these two generals would make them unable to cooperate with each other. Almost every night, the two of them would try to bite the other party off as if they were mortal enemies. "Let's discuss the details for the battle tomorrow. General Jia, you will continue to stay in the back and help to maintain the balance…"
