Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

It didn't take a long time for the two armies to meet with each other. Leading the soldiers, Soujin and Ye Lei clashed heavily. Both sides were equally strong and the first day of the battle ended up with a draw.

Jun Hua and the others were waiting in the headquarters and formulating a plan to defeat Ye Lei. Soujin come in after he finished with the preparation for tomorrow battle.

"Have you come out with a new plan?" he asked.

Ming Hui shook his head, "Nope, we barely know anything about them since the one who fight with them previously is the Lan family."

"And the Lan family no longer exists," Yan shrugged. They have heard the news about Lan Ping fate, but they didn't feel any pity for him. He was the one that dug his own grave by participating in the massacred of his own family. As for Lan Teng, they didn't care about him even more because he was someone who would kill his own family for his own sake.

Because there was no longer Lan family here, they couldn't ask them for any advice. Besides, previously the one they fight was the general of Pan Kingdom while the one they fight today was the Pan Kingdom prince, Prince Ye Lei. Their way of fighting would be different, despite there were some similarities.

"Wait, what about Lan Gao Ya?" Yan turned to Soujin. Lan Gao Ya held the information agency and she should be able to help them. Of course, that was only if that woman wanted to betray her husband.

"She can't help," Jun Hua answered, "She had fallen to the trap by Lan Ping a few weeks ago."

Ming Hui nodded his head. "If she's here, I doubt she's going to give us any information. After all, we come from the Ming Kingdom and her information agency is quite a big threat for us."

Soujin nodded his head slightly. They were going for a war against the Pan Kingdom, so as the princess of Pan Kingdom, Lan Gao Ya would be their enemy. If she was still alive, they would still need to fight against that woman to be able to conquer this kingdom.

"How come you gather news even faster?" Yan looked towards Jun Hua with question all over his face, "Isn't the secret force of Jun family is their economy?"

Jun Hua laughed, "That was in the past. The Jun family is not only a family that is strong in the military and has powerful economic support anymore. There are some things you didn't know, Prince Yan."

In the past, the Jun family always invested heavily in their military, causing them to be extraordinarily powerful. However, Jun Hua changed some of them. The funds they have were not only for the military on the outside but also a secret army of hers.

Soujin nodded, "The Jun family is more or less similar to Nanglong family."

Yan stayed still in his place. Because of his relation with Soujin was close, he knew that Soujin family was really strong from behind. The force that the previous emperor of Ming Kingdom thought had been eradicated was still there under Soujin lead. Not only that, it has grown stronger even more.

At that moment, a soldier came with a pale face. He kneeled down, "Pardon my intrusion, but General Ye Lei…"

"What is it?" noticing the pale face of the soldier, Soujin hurriedly walk outside. Jun Hua and the others come outside and the scene that greeted them was something they would not forget for their life. From that day on, Prince Ye Lei name would truly signify violence.

Jun Hua only saw a glimpse of it before Soujin pull her into his embrace thus blocking her view. However, she had already seen it. Did it necessary to do things as cruel as that? They were all human bodies, not items.

Ming Hui frowned, but his face was still calm, "It seems he would not even let the corpse intact."

"He's really brutal…" Yan wanted to vomit. He couldn't bear to watch the spectacle in front of him anymore. That Prince Ye Lei must be insane to treat the fallen soldiers like that. With something like that in front of them, they would surely be distracted

"Is that a threat?" Jun Hua soft voice is muffled since she is inside Soujin arms.

"It seems so, though I don't have any idea why he does things that far," Ming Hui felt disgusted. It seemed he wouldn't be able to have any good sleep tonight. Even if that prince didn't use this tactic, they already knew about the other party's brutal name.

The bloody scene in front of them confirmed the bad name that Ye Lei had once again.

"Do you see it?" Soujin frowned. He didn't want her to see such kind of thing.

Jun Hua nodded, still inside Soujin embrace, "Don't worry. This is not the first time I see this kind of thing."

"And why is that?" Yan walked inside the tent again. He instructed Shu to calm the soldiers down.

"In the fight at the border, using threats like this to threaten the commander is common," Jun Hua answered. When she became the commander, there was an enemy commander who once tried to scare her. It didn't succeed as she instead chose to fight harder.

"You see it when you're still a kid?" Yan was astonished. He couldn't believe that a kid could stand seeing such kind of thing.

"I'm already 13 at that time," Jun Hua retorted.

Soujin frowned. He looked towards the Pan Kingdom tent once more before pulling Jun Hua and the others inside to the tent again. Jun Hua didn't try to look at that scene anymore as she didn't want to remember it anymore.

"Now we know that Ye Lei is someone who likes to use psychological means," Ming Hui took a seat.

Soujin raised his head, "Even if he uses this mean, his fighting prowess is still not bad."

"The problem will be how to make sure our soldiers don't get affected," Ming Hui frowned. If even they were feeling this bad towards that view, the soldiers must be feeling worse. They might not be able to fight as well as usual.

Soujin thought for a moment, "There's no need to worry, they're going to be fine. I know a way to defeat him without costing us much."

Yan nodded his head. "If you say so, then I believe in you."

The other two also agreed. They believed that Soujin must be able to contend against that brutal prince.

…

Pan Kingdom's side

"Your Highness, is it really necessary to make this?" one of the commanders asked with a rather pale face. Even if he was already a veteran soldier, the view in front of him made him felt nausea.

Ye Lei glanced towards the man. "Tell the soldiers. If they don't do well, their corpse will be used too and not only the enemy soldiers."

Hearing that threat, the soldiers around the place stilled. Looking at how dishonorably the bodies from enemy's soldiers Ye Lei treated, they did not think that they would be able to bear if those were their friends.

Ye Lei didn't say anything else as he moved back. The soldiers silently cursed their bad luck to have a commander as vicious as Ye Lei. However, the task they had to do right now was ensuring that the soldiers didn't slack off in the slightest, or that threat might come true.
