Chapter 1136: General Duan
They were all the elites.
But because of the battle not long ago, he had lost more than half of them. They died to protect his life.
“Young Master, this is City Da Yi.”
“I know.”
Young Commander Kui wiped his tears and looked at the gate in front of him. No matter how much he felt that it was unfair, he knew that he couldn’t bring his father back.
At that time, he knew that if the target of the surprise attack was him, he would never be able to survive. The guards didn’t even manage to react in time and all they could do was to buy some time.
Time for them to escape.
“Who is that person who attacked us?” Young Commander Kui asked.
“Adjutant Nan.”
The guards were not unfamiliar with Adjutant Nan. At the very least, they were some of the few people who knew about him because of River General Kui’s experience. Their Master was injured because of Adjutant Nan and these people naturally bore grudge.
But when they faced Adjutant Nan, they were taught to be humble.
That person is a monster.
Because of their training, they could definitely sense danger far better than ordinary people. When Nan Hua appeared in front of them and killed Strategist Kui so cleanly, they couldn’t even react in time.
It was as if time stopped for them while it still went on for Adjutant Nan.
He’s so fast.
They didn’t have time to react because when they did, they were already too late. Each one of them wanted to avenge their Master, but they knew that their capabilities were not enough for that.
“Open the gate! This is Young Commander Kui!”
KREEET!
The door opened and the small group walked inside. Young Commander Kui was trying his best to wipe his tears, but it was really hard for him to do it completely. He still felt upset because of what had happened.
Drap! Drap! Drap!
General Duan walked down the stairs. Donned in gorgeous silver armor, General Duan was known to be a somewhat influential person in this area. He’s already middle aged but he still walked powerfully.
However, he was never given bigger responsibility aside from being assigned to defend this area against Zhang Xu Kingdom. There were already countless deaths occurred in this line because of Zhang Xu Kingdom’s treachery and General Duan was one of the few who could handle it.
“General Duan!” Young Commander Kui called out.
“I had received the signal, but the soldiers are preventing me from marching out.” General Duan waved his hand. “Where is Strategist Kui?”
“Father is dead.” Young Commander Kui gritted his teeth.
He didn’t want to remember this, not at all. However, he had to make sure that he managed to survive if he wished to take his revenge. To think that his own father would die so quickly was something that Young Commander Kui never thought of.
They were all soldiers.
It was actually the risk that everyone knew when they signed up to be a soldier. However, many people didn’t want to think about it. They came to the army and expected to go back home in one piece.
But reality was not always so kind.
Many people will never be able to go back home ever again.
“What happened?” General Duan asked carefully. He could sense that Young Commander Kui’s mood was extremely low, but he needed to know what happened.
When he received the signal for help, he was ready to depart right away. However, there comes the second piece of signal that told him not to come.
He was confused. 𝑜𝐕𝗅xt.𝑪𝐎𝑚
And then there were some messengers who came, telling him that he should never step forward to the Three Point City. It has become completely hopeless as there was no chance for them to defend.
He had to take it back afterwards.
The guards beside Young Commander Kui summarized what happened. He looked perfectly fine, but his eyes were slightly red.
These guards were ordered to protect Strategist Kui and Young Commander Kui with their lives. But they had failed and now, there was only one more person left whom they had to protect completely.
General Duan was silent. “Take some rest and I’ll investigate about it.”
“Yes, General Duan.” Young Commander Kui took a deep breath and walked away. He had to have some rest because he still wanted to take revenge for his father.
After Young Commander Kui had left, General Duan was looking into the distance. He could see the smoke rising from the direction of Three Point City and his heart was not as calm as his expression.
He knew that many things happened after Fei Yang Kingdom declared war against them just a few days ago. At that time, he was already worried about when they would reach this point.
And it didn’t even take a long time.
They had come to his doorsteps.
Knock! Knock!
The door opened and a young man opened the door. He saluted General Duan. “Father, what are we going to do? The other commanders are asking about the next plan.”
General Duan turned around and saw his first son, who was also a young commander in the military. He had been grooming his son carefully with hope that he will be the one to take over his position in the future.
But right now, he was not so sure.
“Prepare for defense. They’ll come soon.”
“Yes, Father.”
As Young Commander Duan left, General Duan stood silently. He was looking at the night sky above him, wishing to the stars that they will protect his family and Wei Da Kingdom. In this fierce battle that determined the fate of the land, he didn’t want to see his kingdom’s end.
If it was possible.
…
The soldiers rested for a day before Long Qian Xing gathered them all once more. He had asked General Chi and the two of them agreed to charge towards Da Yi City in order to defeat General Duan.
