Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 561 Second Day – East Area (1)

　　*pant* *pant*

　　Panting for breath, Nan Luo looked at the 1000 men commander in front of him. He could feel his strength leaving his body, yet there was a sense of achievement that was boiling deep within his body.

　　"YEAH!"

　　Followed the shout, the soldiers were all cheering happily.

　　Nan Hua watched from the side as Xiao Yan gave the announcement. She could see how battered and tired Nan Luo was. At the same time, she knew that Nan Luo had broken another wall in his path.

　　After today, he would grow stronger once more.

　　'It's good.'

　　…

　　East Area

　　The east area referred to the area across the river. In total, the battle itself was split into three parts with Nan Luo and the others were placed in the middle area. In the East area, it was the Shangguan Family's area.

　　Shangguan Xiao was the one in charge to monitor the area. He might have good martial arts, but it was certainly not enough to be compared to his monstrous father, brother, and grandfather. He was more inclined towards intelligent type.

　　It was better for him to supervise everything from a distance and only participated when it was necessary.

　　"You have to hold on…" Shangguan Xiao's forehead was filled with sweat. Looking at the ever changing formation in front of him, he felt like smashing Prime Minister Lei's head with a rock. Right at this moment, he knew very well that someone like him was not that Prime Minister's match.

　　He could only rely on the fact that his family members were all very strong.

　　'I'm using similar tactic with yesterday where I let my grandfather fight against the heavenly general. The two of them know each other well and didn't need others to give more direction for the soldiers when they fight against each other.

　　Father is facing General Yu while brother is holding the port at the back. He's the backup should something bad happen.'

　　Zhang Xu Kingdom didn't have any remarkable figure so far.

　　They were a kingdom that more focused on sinister tactics and treacherous methods. It was also because of this that this kingdom was despised by others but they were also feared at the same time.

　　No one sane would want to have dealings with Zhang Xu Kingdom's treacherous people.

　　"Young Commander Xiao, General Kong is approaching from the west!"

　　"Use spiral formation and drag him to the side!"

　　"Yes!"

　　General Kong was another forefront type general. If Shangguan Xiao was asked to duel him, Shangguan Xiao was sure that he wouldn't even last for even one more. He knew very well that he wouldn't be able to fight properly.

　　In that case, he would chip away General Kong's strength by relying on the tactics that his soldiers had already practiced for so many years.

　　'Getting achievement is harder for me compared to my brother.' Shangguan Xiao sighed internally.

　　"Xiao, should I make a move?" Shangguan Xian walked towards his brother. He was stationed not far from his brother and used this chance to talk while riding his horse to his younger brother.

　　Shangguan Xiao raised his head. "I can still handle General Kong so far. But if he got too close, I would like you to deal with him."

　　"No problem."

　　Yesterday, General Kong was idle. There were only his sons who were busy fighting and trying to break the formation. However, Shangguan Xiao was still more than enough to deal with those two. As long as it was not the father, he was still fine.

　　But today, General Kong was approaching and Shangguan Xiao knew that it would be hard for him to deal with him.

　　Shangguan Xian was only a 5000 men commander, but his strength was close to their father's strength. It was also because of this that Shangguan Xiao dared to put his brother to go against a general right away.

　　"Hmm?"

　　Their attention was attracted to the sudden mist area at the front.

　　"What's that?" Shangguan Xiao had a bad feeling. His eyes widened as he slammed the table in front of him. "Brother, go and face General Kong right away. Call the other commanders to stay away from that mist and prepare the archers now!"

　　"Yes!"

　　Shangguan Xian was a person with little words, so he didn't delay after he received his brother's confirmation. No matter what that mist was, it was something that Shangguan Xiao feared.

　　He directly led his soldiers to go towards the army in front of him.

　　Bang!

　　"Damn Zhang Xu Kingdom! I underestimate their treacherousness." Shangguan Xiao gritted his teeth.

　　What was that mist?

　　That was obviously poison. This might be the first time Shangguan Xiao faced against soldier from Zhang Xu Kingdom, but this was not the first time Fei Yang Kingdom had a war against Zhang Xu Kingdom.

　　As one of the top scholar in the academy back then, Shangguan Xiao's best result was in history. If not because he chose to go to the frontline, he might have been selected to become history teacher once he properly graduated.

　　There were several people who were famous for using poison in Zhang Xu Kingdom.

　　Many of them had died during his grandfather's peak era. At that time, the three great general from Fei Yang Kingdom was so overbearing that it directly crushed many others at the border.

　　Well, they were still quite overbearing even now.

　　'Which master is this?' Shangguan Xiao gave another series of order to the men around him. They quickly moved as fast as possible because they knew that the poison was dangerous but they had to be able to face it.

　　'Who can I call to help for this matter?'

　　Shangguan Xiao's brain was spinning so quickly. There were very few people who were dealing with poison in the entire kingdom. Aside from Zhang Xu Kingdom… no one could possibly raise a group of poison soldiers.

　　Clang!

　　*cough* *cough*

　　Within the mist, General Shangguan looked at the person in front of him with gaze filled with indignation.
