Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

The temptation was strong.

Not to mention, Ye Shu Ken has been purposely going towards him to ask for some questions from time to time. It could be seen that the other party was purposely tempting him in order to pull him in.

General Lei was not stupid.

He chose Shi Long Kingdom because he felt that they will win and could protect his people for a long time. For him, the most important thing is the people behind him.

His family members and the people who relied on him had to be protected. Watching them dying in front of him was definitely a big no.

If the concession to Shi Long Kingdom could help him keep their lives, General Lei didn't mind doing it.

But can Fei Yang Kingdom do the same?

He looked at the direction where the three families were located and after some thoughts, he took a deep breath.

Even if Fei Yang Kingdom couldn't do it, they could migrate to the south.

Bypassing this large dried lake, it would be harder for Shi Long Kingdom to reach them and with Fei Yang Kingdom fighting with Shi Long Kingdom, would they still have the time to care about them?

The temptation was very strong.

And with the careful thoughts that emerged within his mind, General Lei knew that it would be impossible for him to suppress it any longer.

The early night was silent.

But suddenly, fire came to their living places, destroying countless tents along with their resources.

"Who is it?"

"Put out the fire!"

"Damn it! We don't have that much food and water!"

Splash! Splash!

The commotion attracted the people from the other side.

Ye Shu Ken smiled brilliantly when he heard his people said that there was commotion on the other side. He didn't have any hesitation and raised his sword. "We all attack Shi Long Kingdom now!"

"YES!"

The soldiers shouted loudly and then rushed towards Shi Long Kingdom's side.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing reverberated in the middle of the night. The soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom was prepared while Shi Long Kingdom's soldiers were caught off guard. The mess from inside that happened before had attracted their attention.

Clang!

"Do you know what you're doing?" General Huan asked when she noticed General Lei was attacking them. After cooperating for some time, she could naturally recognize General Lei even if the light was relatively dim.

General Lei smiled at General Huan. "Naturally, I know what I'm doing."

Clang!

Their sword clashed against each other again.

"I heard that your village is under Shi Long Kingdom's control. If you betray us now, they will be executed directly." General Huan narrowed her eyes.

She was naturally familiar with the way of Shi Long Kingdom. They will take the most important things and assimilated these people to work for them. With the villages under their control, these talented people will naturally work for them without hesitation.

The practice was a bit disgusting.

But Shi Long Kingdom is very fast and without any method to control the people, it was impossible for them to stand and become so strong.

Even if there used to be other methods in the past, the current generation could no longer replicate the method they used to use. Shi Long Kingdom had declined.

It was something that General Huan could feel faintly but she was not totally sure. Besides, she couldn't really serve other kingdom as Shi Long Kingdom's general and didn't want to move.

Everyone she cared for were here.

Perhaps, this was the main reason why only some generals were willing to move to other kingdoms. Unless they have no other choice, they will stay and serve the kingdom where they came from.

Transportation was not easy in this era.

She knew this method and could only follow along with it. Because she knew that she had no power to change anything. Clang! Clang! Clang!

"I know that the hope is slim," General Lei replied in a low voice.

How could he not know?

When he saw the abilities of these generals from Shi Long Kingdom, he knew very well that his people couldn't match against them. No matter how painful it was, the fact still had to be said that they were weak.

He could only join them if he wanted to protect the people behind him.

But after seeing the performances of these three families along with Ye Shu Ken's temptation that he said again and again, it would be impossible for General Lei not to care in the slightest bit.

He wanted the best for his people.

If they could be free and be the master of their fate, he wanted to take this chance.

There might be only one chance.

Clang! Clang! Clang! The two generals clashed against each other.

General Huan looked at General Lei and sighed internally. If she had been braver, she might have picked the same choice to leave Shi Long Kingdom in the beginning and not involved in this muddy water.

But there was nothing that she could do but to follow along with the current.

It was not pleasant and General Huan also experienced a lot of things along the years that made her wanted to leave.

The patriarchal in Shi Long Kingdom was a bit stronger than the other areas. It was very annoying for her. With the exception for Princess Luo, almost no women could work well without getting married and relying on their husband.

Clang!

The sword clashed and General Lei suppressed General Huan with his movements.

Before she knew it, she saw faint light from the side and the sword slashed through her neck.

*cough*

General Huan stepped back and held her hand to press her wounds but feeling that the blood continued to gush out, she knew that it was too late. Raising her head, General Huan looked at General Lei. In the end, she mouthed out, 'Good luck.'

Thud!
