Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"I see…"

Nan Luo felt dejected. But thinking about it, everyone's path was different. Feng Ao Kuai's path to become general naturally would not be the same as him. While the two of them still cooperated together, it was also true that the two of them wanted to become a commanding general in the end.

Thus, they would build their own career.

At the back, Xiao Yan silently wondered whether other 13 and 14 years old would talk like these two. They seemed to have clear goal of their future and didn't seem to be willing to have anything that could possibly change it.

'They really mature too fast.'

On the other hand, he glanced at Feng Ao Si, who was resting at the side. Feng Ao Si had been busy to challenge anyone he could and seemed to be in quite disarray. If not for Dai's presence to help him arrange the army, Feng Ao Si might have long been defeated…

Sometimes, one would wonder whether the three of them were truly related.

The differences… were so big.

"Oh right, there's a cheer in the middle, right?" Nan Luo recalled that cheer. When they were retreating, his men were discussing about this matter. He overheard them after they were near the safety.

"Yes." Feng Ao Kuai pursed his lips. "Young Commander Chi was wounded severely after injuring General Wu so deeply. It's estimated that both of them would require at least a month to recover, so they're basically out of this war."

Nan Luo was stunned. If he was not wrong, Chi Song Lian was only a 4000 men commander, right? For him to be able to challenge a general and even deeply wounded the other party showed that he must be extraordinary.

"Is he going to be promoted?"

"Not so easy." Feng Ao Kuai beckoned for Nan Luo to follow him back to the barracks. It was time for them to eat. "Let's talk while eating. It's not good for you to have your stomach empty."

"Ah, true."

After fighting for so long, if they didn't replenish their strength, that would be very stupid. Everyone was hungry and even with a lot of provision, it took a long time for them to get their ration. Not that long actually, it just felt long because of the long people who were lining up.

Thankfully, they could get theirs first because they were 300 men commanders now.

Feng Ao Kuai stirred the soup in front of him. "For one to be promoted to become a general, he had to have enough achievement to support that kind of promotion. Just severely injuring a general by paying equal price was not enough. Promotion to become 5000 men commander was equally harsh. You can't become one just because you managed to push back a general once."

"Then…"

"Kill several generals and have enough capabilities in many battles to prove your strength." Feng Ao Kuai sipped the soup calmly. "To become a general, you don't only need powerful martial arts but also capabilities to command."

"I see."

"Anyway, we have to attend the post battle meeting."

"…Ok."

Nan Luo turned to look at Nan before he recalled that Nan Hua was only an adjutant. Unless he was very high ranking, his adjutant didn't have to participate in the meeting yet. It seemed that he couldn't take Nan Hua in for now.

Naturally, Nan Hua had no intention to follow Nan Luo.

She calmly ate her meal and sat down on the ground. A soldier walked over to her and greeted her formally before passing by. However, a bamboo stick had already switched hand to Nan Hua.

It was the battle report.

Nan Hua naturally had already placed some Dark Moon Organization Members inside the army. Their mission was to report what they knew to a young adjutant named Nan who followed Young Commander Nan.

'It's still tie beyond the river and no battle at the mountain.'

Considering that the two leading generals who were fighting at the West Mountain were both intelligent type who didn't like to attack when they have no guarantee to win… It was less likely that there would be a battle occurred in the first place. They had only started.

There were still several more days in the future for the two leading generals to face each other on those mountainous areas.

As for the one across the river, the condition was quite similar. They were also pretty good in terms of their condition and seemed to be tying. There was no remarkable event and Nan Hua didn't know the specific either.

It was not like she could head there.

Though, she knew what would happen, she didn't even know if it was possible to change it. After all, someone had to step forward to go against those powerful people from Zhang Xu Kingdom.

'Did they use parasite this time?'

Nan Hua's eyes narrowed.

If they really did bring those parasites and used it against Fei Yang Kingdom, she would make sure to put into their bodies. Though, she doubted that they would even had the chance to do that with so many soldiers around.

After mulling for some time, Nan Hua chose not to mind it anymore.

Before long, Nan Luo, Feng Ao Kuai, and Feng Ao Si had returned from the meetings. Previously, Feng Ao Si managed to run away, but this time, he had to participate no matter whether he wanted to or not.

"Young Master," Xiao Yan greeted.

Nan Luo nodded. "Nan, tomorrow, we're going to the front again."

"I understand."

Feng Ao Si looked so pale as if he was a deflated balloon. Right now, he sat down on the ground, looking like he had lost his soul.

Feng Ao Kuai snorted. "Brother, please make sure to pay more attention to tomorrow's battle."

"…I know." Feng Ao Si looked so aggrieved.

Nan Luo shook his head. Tomorrow, Feng Ao Si had become part of the defense team, which meant that he would not march to the frontline. After what had happened to the soldiers under Feng Ao Si… Nan Luo could only say that he deserved it.
