Chapter 1513 The Other Areas (3)

But General Duan was not sad.

He's not money which everyone liked. There would definitely be people who didn't like him despite what he had done so far.

Duan Shang Yi watched his father from the back and finally walked away. He couldn't be like his father and could only worked as an official simply for the sake of living and not for the people.

Perhaps, this was their greatest difference.

He worked for himself while his father worked for the people, even if he knew how ungrateful they would be. 

Having such a father, Duan Shang Yi could only feel that he was a failure as a son.

But he couldn't do it like his father.

He's more selfish.

He looked at Da Yi City, which was filled with people moving around for the sake of the war. They were working hard in order to be able to defend the city.

The males were resting so that they could fight tomorrow.

The women were helping to treat the wounded.

Many people were working together in hope that they would be able to see a better future ahead for their city.

Duan Shang Yi lowered his head and slowly made his way towards the area where the weapons were made. Da Yi City was famous for their weapon and the talented blacksmiths.

A portion of them have been called to Fei Yang Kingdom's various other areas to work and made weapons.

But some of them were still here.

One of them was his half brother, Duan Shang Shao. Truth to be told, Duan Shang Yu and Duan Shang Shao didn't have good relationship. With their mothers were against each other, it was inevitable that the two of them would also have conflicts.

Even after their mother's death, their conflicts never got resolved.

Duan Shang Shao had never returned to Duan Family Residence again after he become an adult.

So, Duan Shang Yi had to go to the blacksmith's area to find his half brother.

Klang!

"Welcome… Duan Shang Yi?" Duan Shang Shao, who was resting with his half sister, furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Duan Shang Yi. "Why are you here?"

"The officials are thinking about asking General Duan to retreat," Duan Shang Yi said coldly. He was part of the officials and naturally also knew about their plan. In fact, these officials didn't treat him as an outsider because they knew the relationship between Duan Shang Yi and his father was tense.

"They didn't care about the sacrifice Father had done and wanted to abandon Da Yi City."

Duan Shang Shao arched his eyebrows at Duan Shang Yi's words and then nodded indifferently. "I see."

Duan Shang Yi frowned. "Do you not care?"

"Even if I care, is there anything I can do?" Duan Shang Shao asked.

"You can help Father or…"

"I'm nothing more than a small blacksmith." Duan Shang Shao shook his head. "If you truly hope for me to be able to help you, then I'm sorry to say that you'll be disappointed."

"Duan Shang Shao!"

"Duan Shang Yi, I have told you before that I'll not have any relationship with the Duan Family at all after I become an adult. Do you still want to bother me?" Duan Shang Shao asked, his tone was cold and harsh.

Duan Shang Yi looked at his half brother and felt irritated.

He slammed his fist to the wall and then turned around, leaving.

Duan Shang Shao's half sister, Duan Shi Nian, was a bit nervous when she saw her two half brothers were arguing against each other. This was not the first time they have conflicts, but it seemed that the situation this time was not very good.

"Brother, this matter…"

"Father knew." Duan Shang Shao walked to the table and picked his hammer. "Father has always been very smart. He should know that some people in Da Yi City are not actually very loyal to Fei Yang Kingdom. Once the war with Zhang Xu Kingdom, it's estimated that Da Yi City will experience cleansing."

Duan Shi Nian listened to her half brother's words and sighed deeply. "I hope that we can live in peace in the future."

"I hope so too." Duan Shang Shao took his hammer to the side. "I'm just an ordinary blacksmith. There's no need for me to worry so much about the matter outside."

Duan Shi Nian looked at Duan Shang Shao's back.

She was very clear about the contradiction between the siblings and their parents. Even though they cared, they will not really show it on the surface and only ended in conflicts.

She sighed deeply.

…

<Long distance away from them, Great General Long's location at the long border between Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom>

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The fight between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom were still heating up and there were many clashes.

But it was not the only place where battles were ongoing.

At the east area of Fei Yang Kingdom, their border with Shi Long Kingdom was also under fierce attacks. The few generals who were stationed at the border were doing everything they could in order to make sure that their border didn't fall.

No matter what, they had to make sure that they could still survive while the people were focused on conquering Zhang Xu Kingdom.

The war had lasted for a year.

And now Shi Long Kingdom was getting more restless.

"Great General Long, there's a new general coming."

"Again?" Great General Long raised his head to look at the banner of the reinforcement that come and shook his head. For the past few months, Shi Long Kingdom seemed to be switching the generals position again and again.

It seemed that they wanted to find a breakthrough point so that they could take advantage of Fei Yang Kingdom.

But how could he let them do that?

He crushed these generals and prevent them from going closer.

"It'll be good if there are new generals coming to help soon." Great General Long stood up and looked at the row of soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom, his eyes narrowed slightly.
