Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 904: Fortress

He felt that all of the praise he had received in the past as the smartest and most capable strategist general was all for naught. With the appearance of those people like General Wei from Fei Yang Kingdom or Great General Ji from Fan Yi Kingdom, he had long been reduced to the background.     

Now, he was actually being pushed forward by a brat like Young Commander Long?     

How could his pride take it?     

He didn't mind losing to those two monsters who had already built their fame. But losing to Long Qian Xing who was still a teenager and hadn't even grown up to be an adult?     

No way.     

He couldn't take it.     

"Kill them all. Send those people if necessary."     

"Yes, River General Kui."     

River General Kui looked at the map in front of him as he felt immense headache. It was not like he wanted to cause lose, but he really couldn't do anything when facing with a monster like General Long and his son.     

Not to mention, there was still Great General Nan who was waiting for him to move forward.     

'Should I send the Nan Family?'     

The highest military rank from the Nan Family was naturally General Nan, but he had died because of a damn ship. Now, there were only two other people from Nan Family who were part of the military.     

Both of them were still commanders.     

And they were not a match against Great General Nan.     

River General Kui also knew that those two were stationed at different post so that they would not meet with Great General Nan. There was no telling whether Great General Nan would be soft hearted towards them just because they were part of the Nan Family.     

From what he knew…     

Great General Nan even allowed his own blood related son to be executed and his grandchildren to be persecuted.     

Could that man be called soft hearted?     

River General Kui was really troubled.     

What he didn't know was that Old Master Nan was only softhearted towards a few specific people. The real incident in Fei Yang Kingdom would naturally be covered, so what people knew was that Great General Nan's son was killed and two of his grandchildren were persecuted.     

One of them was living in poor condition while the other one was currently missing and no one knew where she is.     

Forget it.     

He better made use of the terrains. There was still another river between their current location and the Capital City. Should General Long advanced forward, he would meet with many others     

…     

Splash!         

"This river is really shallow in this area. Is this on purpose or is it because they pile the rocks here?" Long Qian Xing looked at the water below him with curiosity. He had to admit that he didn't expect the river to be this shallow.     

It was hard to imagine that other parts were so deep that they would need a long time to reach the bottom.     

"Long Qian Xing."     

"Father."     

They had already sent the soldiers from Wei Da Kingdom off after that battle on the river not long ago. Right now, the soldiers were busy building their tents for the night.     

"River General Kui will not give up so easily. Make sure that you're prepared for the night battle."     

"Yes, Father."     

Long Qian Xing watched as General Long walked away once more. Their interaction didn't really seem like that of a father and son. With General Long mostly away, Long Qian Xing didn't really have much impression of his father in this life.     

Though, he knew that it was already unusual enough for General Long to approach him just to warn him about the next battle.     

'Well, I'm the current Long Qian Xing now. Even though I have the memory of my previous life, I'm now someone of this world, so I'll accept my relationship and identity with my new father.'     

But it was good that his father was awkward with him.     

It was because Long Qian Xing himself didn't know how he should treat his father as well.     

He had parents in his previous life and it wouldn't be so easy for him to just switch calling someone else as his father. It was even more so when the father in this life was someone who rarely interacted with him.     

"Prepare for battle."     

"Yes!"     

Long Qian Xing looked into the distance and wondered whether River General Kui would begin to attack directly or not. In any case, he would be ready for anything that was about to come.     

"Young Commander, what's our real plan in coming here this time?" Long Xu asked. He was curious since they were not really advancing very fast.     

And with the number of their soldiers, wouldn't capturing the Capital City be quite difficult?     

General Cao had brought a lot of the soldiers to go towards the other cities along the border back then. With him taking a lot of soldiers, it wouldn't be that effective to capture Wei Da Kingdom Capital City.     

Long Qian Xing waved his hand. "You'll know later."     

Long Xu nodded and didn't ask any further.     

The truth is, they were indeed not planning on capturing Wei Da Kingdom's Capital City right away. If they did that, it would be the same as handing themselves in silver platter for other surrounding kingdoms.     

They were already eyeing them ever since the war started.     

Thus, what Fei Yang Kingdom wanted was to build a new frontline. That was why, in this area, there would be new fortress built.     

But for the time being, their task was to protect this area from Wei Da Kingdom's soldiers who were planning on taking it back. And building a city from scratch would take too long, so they would conquer the nearest city to be the vital point and expand from there.         

It wouldn't be that easy.     

But it was not impossible.
