Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

At most 1 year.

He could probably only last for another year if Fei Yang Kingdom didn't manage to conquer Zhang Xu Kingdom and send him reinforcement. After all, the battle would naturally cause his soldiers to die because of the battle.

Once the number of soldiers were insufficient to face the soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom, it would mean trouble.

'Brat, how long are you going to postpone. It's already spring.'

Great General Long snorted and waved his hand. His son was still as annoying as ever and didn't even want to leak out his plan to his own father. He had to use his own brain to think about what his son might be planning.

"Raise the line. We're going to attack!"

"Yes!"

…

<North border of three kingdoms, Fei Yang Kingdom, Fan Yi Kingdom, and Zhang Xu Kingdom, Yu Jin's Location>

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"Continue to move forward!" Yu Jin roared to the soldiers under her command. "It's time for us to launch even more attack towards Zhang Xu Kingdom."

"UOoooooo!"

"Don't be so slow like a woman! You're all the proud soldiers of our Mountain Tribe!" Yu Jin raised her sword and then pointed it to the rows of soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom in front of her. "Chargeeee!"

"UOoooo!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The battles were still as fierce as ever.

But with Yu Jin's leadership, they were able to hold on the frontline well and even pushing into Zhang Xu Kingdom's territory bit by bit.

…

Time passed quietly.

The piled up snow slowly melt to the ground following the increase in temperature, disappearing into the wet earth. The hibernating plants began to blossom, welcoming the arrival of spring.

But the situation on the frontline remained the same.

Bloodshed spilled the ground, tainting the previously green grass to red.

Various battlefields were still maintaining the same battle stance against Zhang Xu Kingdom. 

Some areas that previously belong to Zhang Xu Kingdom switched hands to Fei Yang Kingdom.

Some areas that previously contained living people had turned into abandoned cities or villages.

The war brought great changes to the land.

And it's not over yet.

"How was the frontline doing so far?"

"General Duan managed to hold on the frontline, but there's a problem in the middle. Several people escaped from the city and will be deemed as traitors. Whenever they appear in Fei Yang Kingdom's territory, they will be hunted down."

"Great General Long has been defending against Shi Long Kingdom perfectly. He didn't require any help at all.

"General Yu Jin managed to kill countless soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom and protected Fei Yang Kingdom's frontline at the north and captured several villages."

"General…"

The report about the current situation during the war sounded.

Since Emperor Yang Zhou is here, these messages were all sent here one by one. General Wei was also listening to these report to know the overall situation of Fei Yang Kingdom.

After all, if other areas of Fei Yang Kingdom were to be attacked, it meant he had to retreat too.

But these generals were all doing well.

At this time, a soldier came inside and knelt on the ground. 

"Great General Wei, there's another report in regards to the rebellion in Zhang Xu Kingdom. We've already getting closer to Zhang Xu Kingdom's Capital City. As long as we fight hard, we should be able to reach it in a week's time."

"A week?" Great General Wei looked at Prime Minister Lei on the opposite side and shook his head. "That man would not allow it."

Emperor Yang Zhou tapped the table in front of him. "He will allow it. Set up defense first and wait for the news."

Wait for the news?

What news?

Great General Wei knew that Emperor Yang Zhou had another card he used when dealing with Zhang Xu Kingdom. Thus, hearing that Emperor Yang Zhou asked for them to wait meant that his plan should have already been in fruition.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Call General Xing and General Jun."

For the past few months, both Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua had shown what it meant to crush the opponents. Even if Prime Minister Lei was working hard, the two of them would still figure out some ways out of his tactics, continuing to press Prime Minister Lei back.

Thanks to the three generals at the frontline this time, they managed to conquer many cities and had already began to assimilate them to be part of Fei Yang Kingdom. Slowly but surely, Zhang Xu Kingdom wouldn't be able to exist anymore.

This progress has been slow but with Emperor Yang Zhou's plan came to fruition, they will be able to cut down the necessary time. 

"Your Majesty, General Xing (General Jun) is here."

Emperor Yang Zhou looked at the two youths in front of him. If he had to say, he had high expectation for them after seeing their performance. It was just that he would not praise the two of them so highly in front of outsiders.

"Your Majesty, is there anything you would like us to do?" Long Qian Xing asked directly. He was already used to be direct when he was facing Emperor Yang Zhou personally. After all, the two of them had gone through several life and death's crisis together.

They had long trusted each other greatly. 

"Separate from Great General Wei. I heard that General Huan was still making trouble not far at the east. Settle him and then go through this way to the Capital City." Emperor Yang Zhou pointed at the route he had marked on the map. "Meet us in Zhang Xu Kingdom's Capital City."

Long Qian Xing looked at the route and smiled lightly. It seemed that the time has ripe and with so many troubles had already cropped up, it was indeed the time for them to pull the net.

They had waited long enough and the seeds of doubt had spread wildly. With Prime Minister Lei's power had been chopped little by little, it was indeed time. 

"Yes, Your Majesty. We will definitely not disappoint you."
