Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1340 The Eighteenth Day (3)

?

Neigh!

The horse under General Jue hopped, trying to help its owner. But General Jue was no longer in the condition to respond.

As blood flowed out of his wounds, his vision turned blurry.

He only snorted for the last time.

At the very least, he had an honorable death at the battlefield. How unfortunate it was for him not to be able to finish what he wanted to do at first.

Thud!

Long Qian Xing looked at General Jue and shook his head before beckoning for his adjutant to announce it. He had already analyzed General Jue's battle pattern for the past few days and knew that this was a rare pure martial arts type general from Zhang Xu Kingdom.

He respected these kind of generals who used their entire strength to get what they wanted.

But, his fighting skill was definitely not completely honest.

Long Qian Xing bent down and took out the knife he had slipped on his shoes. It was used to hit General Jue's horse through the armor to make it unable to move as fast as it used to be.

In terms of pure martial arts, Long Qian Xing still needed some time to match against General Jue.

But in terms of scheming and tactics, he won by far.

"Head towards their headquarters!"

"UOooooooooooooooooo!"

The soldiers controlled the horse and began to make their way to the headquarters whilst killing the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom on their way up.

Clang! Slash! Drap! Drap!

…

<Fei Yang Kingdom's side, Nan Luo and Nan Hua's location in the deep forest>

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of the battle resounded in the forest, making it hard for others to ignore. At this moment, Nan Luo's location was not that far from Long Qian Xing. However, he was unable to help with the main army.

The reason was because a very annoying man had appeared.

"Why are you here again?" Nan Luo looked at Young Commander Shang in front of him with annoyance. He wanted to head into the enemy's headquarters too, okay? He had been itching to show his hands and not just being the side character in this battle.

Young Commander Shang looked at Nan Luo coldly and brandished his weapon. "You won't be able to go forward."

"Just you see!"

Clang! Clang!

The battle continued.

At the side, Nan Hua cleaned up some of the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom without paying any attention to her twin brother. She knew very well that he would be fine since the two young commanders were more or less similar in strength.

Whether they could defeat the other party or even kill the others depended on whether they were lucky or had a sudden outburst.

It was very unlikely.

So, Nan Hua felt that it would be better to let these two fought against each other while she was watching.

Bang!

Seeing smoke and fire starting from the distance, Nan Hua guessed that Long Qian Xing had reached the enemy's headquarters. They created chaos once again.

The battle is not over, though.I think you should take a look at

…

<General Shang's headquarters>

Bang!

"General Xing, the number of soldiers didn't match up." One of the soldiers came and gave his report.

"I know."

Long Qian Xing shook his head slightly. It seemed that General Shang split his soldiers into two and there must be a separate headquarters that was already prepared for them to retreat or switch battlefield. But this was fine.

He never thought that he could win the battle so easily either.

If fighting against Zhang Xu Kingdom was so easy, there was no way his father and the other generals would have waited for so long just to strike these annoying people. Since that was the case, he just had to work harder.

"Clean up and kill those soldiers from Zhang Xu kingdom."

"Yes!"

The soldiers began to move while Long Qian Xing looked into the distance where General Chi was still fighting against General Shang.

Their battle should come into conclusion before long.

It was time for him to go back too.

He didn't want to stay here for a long time. While General Shang and General Jue felt that this place was good as the headquarter, Long Qian Xing didn't like it because of several terrains' reasons.

It would be better to pick the hill at the side as the headquarter rather than this place.

Not to mention, the smell of blood was really strong.

It would take several days or even weeks with heavy rains to completely wash off this thick smell.

"Burn those all."

"Yes, General Xing!"

…

<Zhang Xu Kingdom's side, A valley a distance away from their headquarters, deeper in Zhang Xu Kingdom's territory>

Thousands of soldiers were standing there, watching their supposed headquarters were burning in flames. A few days ago, General Shang had already arranged for some people to leave earlier than the others.

They were the reinforcement if it was necessary.

But looking at the flag that was raised, they knew that General Shang wanted them to move and retreat to find a better vantage deeper in the territory. There were a total of three cities between their former battlefield to another forest, which would be the next main battlefield.

"Contact the guards in the cities, tell them to prepare for the inevitable battle."

"Yes, Commander."

The commander looked into the distance and sighed. General Shang had seen that they couldn't gain any advantage and chose to separate the soldiers. Some other generals would rather put all their effort to maintain the frontline, but some other generals would rather see the big picture.

Zhang Xu Kingdom is already lacking in manpower as of now.

They couldn't afford to lose too many.

For General Shang, this was the best he could do. Sacrificing part of the territory to preserve the rest of Zhang Xu Kingdom. It was just that… for some others, his action might be seen as cowardly.

The commander sighed and hoped that General Shang would be able to last long enough.
