Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Yu Jin didn't bother with Wu Shan and walked into the tent again. She grinned at Shan Yu. "Where were we just now?"

Shan Yu looked at Yu Jin speechlessly.

He had the urge to just pin this woman down so that she would stop teasing him, but he felt that he should wait for the ceremony. Her words were very easy to make others misunderstand.

"Go to sleep, it's already late."

"Ah, Shan Yu~."

"Stop teasing me, Yu Jin!"

"Ehehehehe~."

…

<Long distance away, Border between Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom, the east border of Fei Yang Kingdom and northwest border of Shi Long Kingdom.>

The meeting in spring produced the advance in summer.

The soldiers under Shangguan Xian marched towards Shi Long Kingdom and used their superiority in number to crush several cities and advanced deeper. In just a week's time, they had already entered into Shi Long Kingdom's territory and conquered five cities. Now, several weeks had passed and more than 12 cities from Shi Long Kingdom now enter their pocket.

But the battles were also heating up.

They reached the valley where Shi Long Kingdom's soldiers were determined to stop Fei Yang Kingdom's soldiers at all cost.

So the battles were very fierce.

"We can enter this deep with the superiority of number, it's really amazing." Shangguan Xiao sighed deeply as he looked at the soldiers around him.

His role has always been the strategist, so he was usually staying at the back or in the headquarters when Shangguan Xian was using other strategist. Not to mention, there were indeed several other strategists from the other generals who came with them. Unfortunately, one of the three temporary generals had fallen in this valley not long ago, so the situation was a bit tense.

The generals who were a bit relaxed because of their success in defeating several cities were now solemn. They didn't want to make the same mistake and cost them their own lives just like their comrade.

Shangguan Xiao was calculating the number of the soldiers.

'More than 30,000 have died.'

Looking at this number, Shangguan Xiao sighed deeply. It was almost autumn, which meant that their battles would reach three months. But from the way it was going, the 200,000 soldiers that Shangguan Xian proposed didn't seem to be enough.

'Great General Long has already recruited a lot of soldiers and sent them to the training camp.'

Shangguan Xiao rubbed his forehead.

He could guess that should Shangguan Xian failed in this war, Great General Long was ready to come forward and take care of the mess. But the number of soldiers under him would naturally also increase to 600,000 just like what he requested before.

As for whether the soldiers would be newly recruited soldiers or veteran soldiers, that would be for later to care about.

"Commander Shangguan, General Shangguan is here."

Shangguan Xiao stood up and looked at his older brother. "The battle today ended faster?"

Shangguan Xian looked at his younger brother and nodded. "They're retreating and regrouping with their reinforcement. We'll give chase tomorrow."

Reinforcement?

Shangguan Xiao narrowed his eyes and nodded. "Got it."

The battles had only started.

This is just the beginning.

…

<Long distance away, south border of Shi Long Kingdom>

Gong!

The sound of the gong sounded and the soldiers from both sides rushed towards their respective enemies.

The formation was half messy and half orderly.

Long Qian Xing looked at the soldiers under the three families who couldn't cooperate well together and then looked at the opposite side. Even if he didn't like Shi Long Kingdom, he had to say that the discipline and order in Shi Long Kingdom's army was much better than these soldiers from the three families.

It was no wonder that they were at disadvantage.

From number, weapon, technique, and so on.

They were clearly at the disadvantage when facing Shi Long Kingdom.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two armies collided and the sound of metal clashing could be heard reverberating on the battlefield. Both sides didn't want to lose and naturally exerted their strength as much as possible.

"I'll help you from the side, General Xing," Ye Shu Ken said quietly.

He was not very good at fighting in close combat battle, but if he was asked to assist, he could still do it.

"Good." Long Qian Xing nodded and looked at General Ruan, who was in front of him. The corner of his lips curled up to form a faint smile. "It's been a while General Ruan."

"General Xing." General Ruan narrowed his eyes when he saw Ye Shu Ken. Before coming here, he naturally investigated this area through some means. There were three big families who controlled the resources and power in this area.

If they wanted total control of this area, they would have to either defeat the three families or to absorb them to Shi Long Kingdom.

The first method would require a lot of manpower but it was also the most direct method.

The second method was harder because they needed to convince the three of them and so far, it didn't seem to be successful.

They had tried before.

But the three families refused their demands.

That was how this war started in the first place. Clang!

Long Qian Xing didn't waste more time after greeting General Ruan. Since the two of them were enemies, it was only natural for him to attacks.

There was no need for so much saliva wasted on talking.

"Cover the side," Long Qian Xing side and urged his horse forward.

"Yes!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

General Ruan snorted and also raised his weapon, attacking Long Qian Xing fiercely. From time to time, Ye Shu Ken would insert some kind of attack from the side to injure General Ruan, but his attempt was not very good. His cooperation with Long Qian Xing was not very good, so his attacks could barely pose any threat to General Ruan.

For Long Qian Xing, it was good enough.
