Chapter 345 How Interesting

"Chargeeeeeeee!"

The shout and screams from the soldiers rang out alongside the war drum that sounded so loudly in the camp.

Nan Hua looked at Long Xu then dropped the stick. She proceeded to jump out from the side by relying on the wooden structure. With an agile movement, she landed on the ground safely.

"Young Master Nan?" Long Xu was stunned.

However, he could see 'Nan Luo' was running in the direction of the areas that got the enemies rushed in. The soldiers on duty failed to react in time and got killed.

Dzing! Jleb!

Nan Hua knew that Feng Ao Kuai had already stood up with Nan Luo protecting him to use the bow and arrow. So, her task right now was to prevent these soldiers from barging in even further.

Her eyes noticed that these soldiers were lighting torch.

'Want to burn our supplies?'

Slash!

Nan Hua swiftly cut the hand of the nearby enemy soldier. The torch in his hand dropped on his own leg, burning him.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Swish! Slash!

With an agile movement, Nan Hua swiftly moved to the next one. She arched her eyebrows when she sensed that there were many more people had entered this area. It seemed that Wei Da Kingdom soldiers had focused on this path.

Clang!

"Gah!"

Sensing movement from her back, Nan Hua killed the soldier before her then turned around. She saw Long Qian Xing was there with several soldiers. He was also looking in her direction.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Young Master Nan."

Nan Hua was about to answer politely when she recalled her twin brother's attitude. A cheeky smile formed at the corner of her lips. "You're not the only one who can sense them coming, Young Commander Long."

"Is that so?" Long Qian Xing's lips curled up to form a smile. His attention shifted to the soldiers once more as he pounced on them and killed the enemy soldiers easily. No matter which direction his sword landed on, the soldiers would be killed easily.

Nan Hua covered the other side and did her best to stay as low key as possible. She had no intention of attracting this young commander attention because Nan Luo's skill was indeed slightly lower than her.

The difference was mostly in their reaction speed, though.

In terms of power, stamina, and sword skill, they were mostly the same. But Nan Hua had additional knife and needles skill.

Jleb!

A knife stabbed the nearby soldier's stomach. Nan Hua killed the first soldier in front of her before moving to that dead soldier to retrieve her knife. It was faster for her to kill the soldier by making use of both knife and sword.

She missed a gun, though.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

After some time, it was clear that Wei Da Kingdom's ambush failed. They suffered heavy losses and retreated. Since there were only a limited number of people who came to ambush them, the overwhelming number of Fei Yang Kingdom soldiers quickly suppressed their enemies.

Nan Hua stood in her place, her robe was dirty with blood, but her dark obsidian eyes were extremely calm. It was as if this was not the first time she ever encountered such an ambush and thus, she could stay calm.

"You did good, Young Master Nan."

"Thank you for your compliment." Nan Hua turned to look at Long Qian Xing. She smiled. "I'm only protecting myself. Please excuse me now, Young Commander Long."

With that, Nan Hua darted back in the direction of her twin brother and cousin. Even from a distance, she could see that Nan Luo barely do anything because there were no soldiers who could come nearby. Feng Ao Kuai's archery skill was more than enough to cover for them.

Long Qian Xing swung his sword before taking a cloth to wipe the blood. He looked at the mess before looking into a distance. There was coldness within his eyes. "To think that they're this desperate."

"Young Commander Long, it'll take time to clean this up." Long Xu had joined them and now he looked a bit troubled. With so many corpses here, how could they expect to be able to sleep peacefully?

It was almost dawn.

Long Qian Xing chuckled. "Naturally, we're not going to sleep. Ask the soldiers to pack up. We're going to move deeper this time."

"Yes!"

The other commander quickly moved in accordance. However, Long Qian Xing looked at Long Xu. "Young Master Nan is in the war drum area?"

"Yes!" Long Xu didn't know why his young master was interested in Nan Luo, but he had to answer. "When this servant reached the war drum, Young Master Nan was already there. From the position where he crouched down, he was also waiting for the enemies to make a move before sounding the war drum."

"I see."

Long Qian Xing's eyes flashed as he looked in the direction where 'Nan Luo' had gone. For some reason, he felt a different kind of feelings when he met Nan Luo just now. It was as if he was facing a different person and not the usual Nan Luo.

But it didn't make sense because the appearance, voice, and even attitude was exactly the same.

The last time he experienced this feeling was when he had a spar against Nan Luo in the academy. It was as if Nan Luo gained some kind of understanding that allowed his skill to improve in a matter of seconds.

It was strange.

"How interesting." Long Qian Xing chuckled. "Send report to General Feng. I'm going to make a move first."

"Yes, Young Commander Long!"

…

Nan Hua took a deep breath. When she reunited with the others, she dragged Nan Luo back to the tent and exchanged their clothes along with the mask.

Seeing his twin sister's action, Nan Luo could only comply. He felt a bit weird, though.

"Nan, what exactly happened?"

"There are other soldiers who are ready." Nan Hua pursed her lips. She didn't originally plan to fight, but seeing the soldiers rushing over after lighting a torch, she knew that their situation would be bad if they reached their supplies or even get close enough to throw the torch.
