Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



"Don't think too much. Everyone is different." Nan Hua looked at her twin brother. "If you know that you will definitely loss, will you continue to fight or will you give up to save your lives?"

Nan Luo was silent.

It was true that he wished for Fei Yang Kingdom to grow and become big in the future. But at the same time, he also understood that he didn't want to die.

If he was fighting a sure loss battle, can he keep his mind and continue to battle despite knowing that he will die.

Nan Luo didn't know.

He didn't want to leave his grandfather, sister, cousins, and many other friends. Having losing many of his soldiers in the battle, Nan Luo had already felt very painful and right now, he seemed to understand a bit of why General Kai chose this.

No one could say whether it was right or wrong.

It was his decision.

And this had to be the decision that they felt the best when they chose to pick it.

The battle ended with General Kai surrendering and handed over Prince Wei Da Lang's head.

Long Qian Xing allowed General Kai to stay there but the adjutant who came with him would be staying there. There will also be some other commanders assigned from Fei Yang Kingdom to come here.

This will slowly but surely mix the soldiers between the two kingdoms into one.

General Kai agreed.

This border was directly connected to both Fan Yi Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom, so a capable person like General Kai would be pivotal for their help.

After finishing everything they departed back.

…

<Some time afterwards>

The few young commanders gathered to rest. The battles were quite tiring and after marching for a long time, who didn't want to have a break?

They were all still human being and needed to rest in this journey back.

Feng Ao Si stretched his body and watched as Sheng Shan Lang's soldiers were cleaning up the torch. He blinked his eyes. "How come we're using these kind of dirty tricks again and again?"

He felt that it was fine for him to just charge forward and deal with the soldiers. Having to stay here and do this scheme…

He was not used to it.

Nan Luo laughed. "Sometimes, absolute strength is indeed good. But if you can't achieve it, using tactics to reduce the number of casualties is not wrong."

Thinking about it, these tactics were indeed very useful to be able to reduce the number of casualties. After all, if they managed to deter the enemy's morale, they would be able to push them to give up faster.

That way, the battle would be easier for them.

However, Feng Ao Si knew that it would be impossible for him to truly implement such tactic on his own without other people's help. He was not exactly the best at thinking about complicated matters.

"I see…" Feng Ao Si looked at the city behind them and sighed. "Would it be fine to leave General Kai there? He used to be part of Wei Da Kingdom. What are you going to do if he suddenly decides to go against us? After all, he did think of supporting Prince Wei Da Lang at first."

If not because the loss would be too big, General Kai would most likely supported Prince Wei Da Lang until the very end. But because their side had lost so terribly that he decided to give up.

Not to mention, if he continued to support Prince Wei Da Lang, his ending was most likely death.

For some of them, they didn't want to die so easily.

They entered the military in order to create achievement so as to rise in ranks quickly and not to send themselves to their grave.

Nan Luo blinked his eyes.

He himself was not entirely sure, so he turned to look at Long Qian Xing. At this time, Long Qian Xing was coming to pay a visit to them and it was not that very strange if they knew that he wanted to spend more time with Nan Hua without being too obvious about it.

"Some people can still be used even if they have different minds. As long as his words and actions are good, it doesn't really matter. Fei Yang Kingdom still needs all the help they can get." Long Qian Xing shrugged.

Feng Ao Si frowned.

In his opinion, rather than making use of General Kai that might have some loyalty left for Wei Da Kingdom, it would be safer to use people from Fei Yang Kingdom. That way, they would be able to trust these people and had the risk lowered.

But the war had only started and there was limited number of people in the entire six… now five kingdoms. They can only make use of the people from Wei Da Kingdom if they wished to truly become stronger and able to protect their border better.

And if they knew how to control the other party, it would be another plus.

Besides, they were here to conquer the kingdom and not to eliminate everyone. Only by assimilating Wei Da Kingdom would they truly be able to conquer this kingdom completely.

This naturally also included those who worked for Wei Da Kingdom.

If they could be reused, this would be the best.

"So it's fine for General Kai to work for Fei Yang Kingdom?" Feng Ao Si asked.

"Yes. People also treasured their lives. Without the Imperial Family members, how do you think General Kai will try to take over the cities back?" Long Qian Xing answered calmly. He turned his head to the side and saw General Hao was camping not far from the border.

Silently, he cupped his fist towards the general.

However, the two sides chose not to greet each other.

After all, Fei Yang Kingdom and Qi Xi Kingdom should be in the 'hostile' state against each other on the surface.

Only a few knew the truth.
