Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Splash! Splash!

The Adjutant of General Nan was thoroughly speechless when he saw the front formation was completely obliterated. Not only that, many of their soldiers died or thrown out of the ships.

Tell him, what the hell did they do?

"It's just burning arrow! What are you…Whoa!"

As the ships he led got closer to the front, he realized that the arrow reacted more violently to the water. Because of the large amount of oil that Long Qian Xing smeared to the cloths, this caused the oil to be practically dripping.

When it landed on the water, the water naturally reacted.

The adjutant was stunned but then he realized that it was because of this reaction that caused the people at the front to be caught off guard. He was more worried about General Nan, though.

The general's ship was already overturned by now.

"We have to…"

Bang! Clang! Clang!

Looking at the back, the adjutant was so stunned that he didn't know what to do. There were soldiers appearing on their ships and attacking the soldiers under him so violently that many of them died directly.

"Those at the front, attack! The rest, defend!"

"Yes!"

The adjutant had quite a lot of experience, so he could quickly give order. He took his spear and rushed to the back, wanting to deal with the intruders.

Swish! Slash!

Long Xu was the one Long Qian Xing ordered to give direct ambush. He had been waiting and when he saw the signal, he knew that it was time for him to step forward and begun to attack.

His eyes narrowed when he saw the adjutant getting closer.

"Kill as many as possible."

"Yes!"

They might not be used to fight on a swaying ground like this, but it didn't mean that they couldn't adapt. Not to mention, the ships were all trying to maintain distance from the soldiers who were crossing the rivers.

It meant that they had released their anchor to keep their ships steady.

At the very least, this allowed them to have better fighting capabilities compared to having to fight on the moving ships.

"Kill!" Long Xu shouted.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As the soldiers engaged in battle, Long Qian Xing was standing at the river banks. He watched as Lou and the soldiers under him killed those deserters who landed on this side of the river.

Not a single one was spared.

'I really don't like this position as the controller at the back.'

Long Qian Xing had to admit that he liked to be involved in the battle directly rather than giving order from this distance like this. It was not like he really wanted to be at the forefront all the time, but it was because he was not used to do this.

Not doing anything but watch…

It was really not his style.

'I guess occasionally is fine since it can bring to victory.'

But next time, Long Qian Xing would just charge forward and deal with the enemies in front of him with his sword. That sounds much better for him.

Anyway, this small trick wouldn't work twice. He was sure that the soldiers would be more prepared for the violent reaction when the water and oil mixed next time. Anyway, it was good enough that the ships were wet and thus, the oil could react well with the water both on the ship and on the sea.

It was just that the degree of reactions was different.

Uh…

It was not really the time for physics lesson.

Splash! Splash!

Turning his head, Long Qian Xing noticed that his father had finally reached the other side of the river banks.

He smirked.

The battle would soon be over.

"AAaaaaaaa!"

Slash! Slash!

None of the soldiers were capable of matching with General Long's strength. Even though they had heard that General Long's strength was lower than General Shangguan, but the view in front of tem honestly caused them to doubt that information.

This is lower?

Slash!

The shield was cut into two, their armors were unable to hold on and directly cut through. It was as if there was really nothing that they could do but to watch as General Long continued to advance forward.

Their lives ended in mere seconds as General Long continued his march.

"General Hou!" The soldiers yelled in fear.

But General Hou himself couldn't move. He was looking at General Long who was approaching as his legs trembled in fear. It was the first time in his life that he felt so much fear that he didn't know what he was supposed to do.

Everything seemed to be completely impossible for him to do.

'Run.'

That was what his mind was thinking, but his body didn't listen to him. When he could finally move, General Long had caught up and attacked violently.

Slash!

General Hou was slain in but a second.

The soldiers were all stunned.

Some of them were even terrified as they yelled and ordered to run. Facing such a terrifying general, only part of them were able to raise their weapon and tried to block.

Even if it was useless, they wanted to buy as much time as possible.

No one wanted to lose.

Slash! Slash!

"GENERAL LONG HAD SLAIN GENERAL HOU!"

"UOooooooooooooooo!"

As the shout reverberated, Long Qian Xing nodded in satisfaction. He glanced at the ships and silently wondered whether Long Xu had dealt with the general there or not.

It was only at night when they made camp across the river did Long Qian Xing knew that General Nan was killed by the ships.

He was speechless.

…

At another city

River General Kui had been retreating again and again. He quickly received news about General Hou and General Nan's death.

What was even more ridiculous was that General Nan died because of a ship.

A ship?

Are you telling him that he lost a capable general because of d*mn ship?

If he knew that those ships could kill people, he would have never sent General Nan towards those groups.

"Long Qian Xing is really there to foil all of my plans, is he?" River General Kui was so frustrated. The battle report clearly stated that Long Qian Xing was the one who came with that somewhat igneous methods.

Fire that couldn't be extinguished with water easily.

It would naturally catch surprise to those who were unprepared but now that they knew, Long Qian Xing would never be able to use it again.

The next question would just be, whether they would even try to use it again?

He had heard that the soldiers were building camp there and he was afraid.

The Capital City was not that far.

Only several cities away.

If General Long marched forward, would they completely destroyed Wei Da Kingdom?
