Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1152 I’ll Never Give Up My Dream

?

Ever since the two of them entered the military, Old Master Nan arranged for the two of them to work together. Even if there was some occasion when they would work separately, the location would be near and they could help each other when needed.

But this time would be different.

Da Yi City and Wei Da Kingdom's Capital City was miles away. Even if they wanted to help each other, it would be impossible without journey of several days.

In other words: the two of them would truly work by themselves.

They had to rely on their army and not each other when they fought in this war against Wei Da Kingdom.

Actually, this was to be expected.

After all, both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were two independent armies. It was only because they had been working together for so long that a lot of people often mistook them as one army.

They themselves also knew that this day will come.

But when it finally come, Nan Luo was still feeling a bit unwilling.

Both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai knew very well that their cooperation was really good and that they could cover each other's weakness. It was also because of this seamless cooperation between them that they managed to rise so fast for the past few years.

"You're already 2000 men commander, so I guess we're no longer the small commanders we used to be." Feng Ao Kuai shrugged.

"I know." Nan Luo took a deep breath.

"We'll work together again in the future when there's a chance."

"Got it. At that time, I'll make sure that I ranked higher than you." Nan Luo showed a cheeky grin.

Feng Ao Kuai rolled his eyes. "You wouldn't be able to do that."

Nan Luo arched his eyebrows. "Let's make a bet then."

"Oh?"

"If my rank is higher than you, you will have to owe me a favor."

"Sure, if it's my rank that's higher than you, you'll have to listen to my words." Feng Ao Kuai showed an evil smile.

Nan Luo shuddered. For some reasons, he recalled the few pranks that Feng Ao Kuai made over the years and silently vowed to himself that he should never lose.

He had to win!

There was no way he wanted to be pranked to death by Feng Ao Kuai.

At the side, Nan Hua was listening to her twin brother and cousin's conversation. She could sense that the two of them were already like blood related brothers rather than blood related cousins.

Years of fighting together in the battlefield had formed a strong bond.

Nan Hua anticipated the future a bit.

She wanted to know how the future unfolded and how Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai will be in this path that they had chosen to tread.

…

<Night>

Nan Hua looked at Feng Ao Kuai, who had walked out of Nan Luo's tent. He might look like he was alright, but Nan Hua knew Feng Ao Kuai much better.

The two of them were still cousins.

Even if they rarely interacted that much after they grew up because they were busy with whatever things they were doing, they understood each other better. It was even better as compared to Feng Ao Kuai and Feng Ao Si or even Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai.

It might sound strange.

But the two of them knew that they were somewhat similar.

In some ways.

"Thank you," Feng Ao Kuai started.

Nan Hua arched her eyebrows and looked at Feng Ao Kuai. She shook her head. "I didn't do it for you."

"Even if you didn't do it for me, it's still a great help for me. Maybe you think that what you did is something normal, but for me, it's something that can affect my future path and how my army is formed." Feng Ao Kuai smiled bitterly.

He would have never thought that Nan Hua even wanted to compete in terms of technology.

If that was the case, things wouldn't be so easy in the future.

Shi Long Kingdom would never let them off if they were to use these kinds of technologies and challenged them. They might even be more brutal and poured their already overwhelming money to suppress Fei Yang Kingdom even more.

Feng Ao Kuai knew that.

"Do you expect Fei Yang Kingdom to rival Shi Long Kingdom?"

"No."

"In that case, you only wish to irritate them?" Feng Ao Kuai chuckled. Such devilish idea was indeed only something that Nan Hua could think.

"Mhm." Nan Hua nodded.

Feng Ao Kuai's expression turned a bit serious. "Are you ready for them coming?"

"Yes."

Shi Long Kingdom is arrogant.

It was the kind of arrogance that was deep rooted in their bones, yet they were still rational enough to understand that the advantage they had was something that other kingdom will eventually catch up with.

Shi Long Kingdom didn't want that.

If there were other kingdoms who tried to imitate their research, their first action would be to destroy them.

And Nan Hua knew that Shi Long Kingdom will surely sent someone to disrupt their progress and to steal their result if possible. They wanted to know how much Fei Yang Kingdom had managed to make it before it was truly implemented at war.

After all, if it was fully implemented, it would be too late for them.

But information spread in this era was still very limited. Nan Luo knew very well that it would be impossible for them to know the details too much.

At least, it will take time.

And what Nan Hua wanted was simply to buy time for them to finish making these catapult and put them into action.

"That's good." Feng Ao Kuai smiled.

The two of them were silent as they continued to walk. As they got closer to Feng Ao Kuai's tent, Nan Hua saw Feng Ao Kuai's steps stopped.

"I'll never give up my dream."
