Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"I'll be brief. For the defense tomorrow, each of you will be stationed in different areas. At the same time, you'll be paired with another young commander to work together in order to make up for the lack of number."

It was impossible for him to send a mere 500 men commander to guard an entire area.

Thus, they would be paired with others.

This would be a good chance for them to gain more experience since not in every battle would they have a chance to move in somewhat separate and free reign like this. But of course, to achieve any achievement in this kind of war would be somewhat difficult.

After that, Wei Mu Bai explained their defense location for each of them and then told them the arrangement that he had made.

"Young Commander Sheng, my father requested for you to participate in the offense tomorrow. Because of that he wants to pair you with First Young Commander Feng who also specialized in frontal battle."

"First Young Commander Feng?" Young Commander Sheng frowned.

Feng Ao Kuai's eyes flickered when he heard this name.

Young Commander Sheng, Sheng Shan Lang, was one of the few young commanders who was of commoner birth. Different from those who were privileged and could learn martial arts from young, Sheng Shan Lang self studied and then entered the military a few years ago.

Because of his accomplishment, he managed to rise through ranks and eventually become a 3000 men commander at the young age of 17 years old.

Even compared to many other young commander, he was naturally one of the best.

With limited resource and influence, he managed to rise up and reached the rank that many people might not be able to reach in their lives. Coupled with his young age and growth, it meant that his future should be good.

As long as he didn't fall in the middle.

"That'll be me." Feng Ao Si raised his hand.

"Ranks?"

"2000 men commander."

Sheng Shan Lang nodded. "Come with me, then. We should discuss the tactics for tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Feng Ao Kuai passed a glance at his older brother and silently hoped that Feng Ao Si wouldn't show his stupid side in front of Sheng Shan Lang. After all, he knew very well that his older brother was not one to think about the tactic that he used.

And to be able to learn from Sheng Shan Lang should be a good experience for his stupid older brother.

"Next, Young Commander Chi will be working with Young Commander Nan. The two of you will support each other." Wei Mu Bai glanced at the room.

Nan Luo nodded. "I understand, Young Commander Wei."

Wei Mu Bai looked at Nan Luo, who was still pretty short for someone his age, and blinked his eyes. He nodded and said a few more words before turning to arrange for the others.

Rubbing his nose, Nan Luo knew that the so called support each other was bull****. He was only a 500 men commander while Chi Song Lian was already a 4000 men commander. There was a huge difference in the number of soldiers they led.

Rather than for support, it was more like he was there to learn.

Chi Song Lian would be the one leading the soldiers while Nan Luo would be following him from behind to learn about the tactics and arrangement from his soldiers. As a small young commander, his main task was mostly about learning.

Without sufficient knowledge and ability, he would never be able to become a proper good leader.

However, Chi Song Lian didn't seem to mind that much about the arrangement because he already knew about this. Those at his rank would not be easily paired with others so much and would only formality. After all, they were already quite high ranked and in this battle, he would be leading the other person to help them learning.

'Nan Luo, huh?'

Chi Song Lian had some impression of this surname. Because of some conflict he had with Long Qian Xing back then, he thought a bit more about this family but didn't dare to investigate deeply.

If Long Qian Xing found out, it would mean another internal battle will break out.

He noticed Nan Luo was looking at him, so he nodded.

"And then, Young Commander Mu will work together with Second Young Commander Feng. The two of you will hold the rear in this position."

*crack*

Feng Ao Kuai felt that like destroying the bamboo strip he was carrying when he heard that arrangement. From all the young commander in this room, the person he didn't want to meet the most is Mu Sheng Xi.

Why are they 'enemies' had to be paired with each other?

He felt like scolding Wei Mu Bai right now.

Not only Feng Ao Kuai, even Mu Sheng Xi's expression darkened considerably. He didn't like the sound of Second Young Commander Feng because he would always remember what his mother told him regarding his cousin's matter.

Even if the matter was not settled and there was just the possibility because it was mentioned by the other party's parents, Mu Sheng Xi didn't like the thought of someone eyeing his cute little cousin.

He felt that such a brat was not worthy of his adorable little cousin.

...

"Young Commander Chi, I'll be in your care," Nan Luo greeted and cupped his fist politely when he saw Chi Song Lian. In any case, he would be fighting side by side with Chi Song Lian tomorrow.

Well, it was possible for him to be staying at the back instead.

Anyway, he couldn't voice out his complain even if he didn't like the arrangement. The difference in their rank was simply too far.

Chi Song Lian nodded. "What's your army good at?"

"Offense and close combat," Nan Luo replied after thinking for a bit.

"In that case, you come with me to the front and fight against the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom. However, you will need to follow my tactical arrangement," Chi Song Lian said calmly.
