Chapter 540 Regrouping (2)

??It was a name that was familiar for both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai. Because General Chi was one of the few generals who stayed in the Capital City, his son was included in that sudden strength training...

??Both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai could remember very clearly how General Shangguan threw Feng Ao Si and the other young commander. They were beaten so miserably that they even doubted their lives. Even now, that day might still haunt them very greatly.

??At that time, Chi Song Lian was also present there.

??Though, the two of them hadn't talked to him that much.

??"There's also Young Commander Sheng. He's of commoner born, but you wouldn't want to underestimate him." Long Qian Xing was still smiling, yet there was another trace of competitiveness that was stemmed from the bottom of his heart. "He's already a 2000 men commander and he's just a few years older than you brats."

??"He's the same age as you?" Feng Ao Kuai felt that there was another competitor might be good or not.

??"1 year younger."

??"Oh."

??Seeing that Nan Luo didn't seem to be interested while Feng Ao Kuai was contemplating, Long Qian Xing chuckled. He turned around. "Get some rest. Tomorrow wouldn't be a peaceful day."

??The soldiers were already close to this place and they camped at quite a distance away. However, that distance would be nothing if they wanted to line up in this place by morning.

??"I wish you luck, Young Commander Long." Feng Ao Kuai cupped his fist.

??"The same could be said to you, Young Commander Feng and Young Commander Nan."

??After that brief encounter, Feng Ao Kuai headed to their respective place and naturally saw Feng Ao Si. In fact, Feng Ao Si had arrived much earlier, but he didn't participate in the plan debate because he understood nothing. Even if he went there, he would only be staring blankly at the group of other higher ranking officials.

??"Ao Kuai! Luo! We're going to fight together?" Feng Ao Si asked in excitement.

??Nan Luo passed a look at his older cousin. "Even if we're assigned in the same unit, it didn't mean that we're going to fight together. It's not certain that we'll move forward at the same time."

??In the battlefield, they didn't only just charge mindlessly. Only an idiot would do something like that. There were some rules that they usually follow.

??One of them was the fact that a general would not directly ask everyone in his unit to charge forward. If their task was to protect and there were other commanders under him, some of them would be asked to stay put to defend the baseline. Not to mention, when there were the injured, someone would have to watch over their resting camp at almost all the time.

??Feng Ao Si was staring blankly, clearly unable to understand Nan Luo's words.

??Smack!

??"What's that for?"

??"We haven't seen each other in a month and your intelligence had already suffered another hit?" Feng Ao Kuai was exasperated. He really wanted to talk to his mother and asked if he could possibly get a refund. Give him a smarter older brother!

??Feng Ao Si scratched the back of his head and then shrugged. "It'll be fine, I guess. I don't think that it's really necessary for me to know so many things. This time, I'm just one of the few low level commanders who didn't have much important position."

??Feng Ao Kuai looked at his older brother and felt that his older brother was really stupid. It was precisely during such wars that they had to strive to do their best if they wanted to ever get a promotion. How come his brother couldn't understand something so simple?

??He felt like face palming once more.

??"Let's just get some rest for now." Feng Ao Kuai looked at his older brother and refused to say anything more.

??"Wait, aren't we going to wait until we got our position for tomorrow's battle?"

??"It'll only be announced in the morning."

??"Why?"

??"So that there's no leakage of tactics." Nan Luo was also speechless. Feng Ao Si had been at the battlefield for so many years, right? Didn't he know that some commanders would refrain from telling their subordinate about the real plan until the day itself to prevent the soldiers from knowing the truth and possibly leaking their secret to the enemies?

??But he felt that he really couldn't say that out loud.

??It was a common sense….

??How did Feng Ao Si survive at the frontline all this year? Nan Luo really wanted to praise his grandfather and uncle for being able to stay patient.

??"Oh right, did your second uncle… or whoever one is that Commander Feng, is fine?" Nan Luo asked.

??Feng Ao Kuai turned to look at Feng Ao Si. He had only come with Nan Luo, so he hadn't had the time to gather the information about it.

??Feng Ao Si was stunned. "I… I don't know."

??The other two were looking in his direction with the expression, 'You don't know this too? Just what did you know?'

??At this time, Feng Ao Si really wanted to cry but there were no tears coming out.

??Tep.

??They all heard the deliberate sound of footsteps and turned around towards the mountain behind them. The resting area was located at the foot of this steep mountain. In fact, some people would be placed on top of this place in order to gain better view of the terrain.

??A young 'boy' was walking in their direction. Donned in black clothes and armor, 'he' didn't look conspicuous at all. However, the silver mask on 'his' face already told those who were there just who is 'he.'

??Astonishment flashed across their faces.

??"Nan?" Nan Luo blurted out.

??"Young Master," Nan Hua called out. She cupped her fist. "Nan will be protecting you during this period of time. Please instruct me, Young Master."
