Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

“Brother, don’t you think you need to put in more effort to the battle in front of you?”

Hearing the sudden question, Wu Shan quickly turned around. He felt that his heart nearly dropped to the ground because he thought that the other party was an enemy. Seeing Nan Hua stood there, albeit still wearing a silver mask, he relaxed his tension.

“What are you doing here?”

“There’s no battle for me today.” Nan Hua shrugged. Nan Luo was put on the defense line again, so Nan Hua took the time to take a look at the battle at the other wall. Seeing the incoming reinforcement, Nan Hua went to see at how her older sister settled it.

And it seemed to be the same way a she always did it.𝗈𝓋𝑙xt.𝓒𝗈𝗆

Crush them with raw power.

“I see.” Wu Shan nodded and looked at the city’s wall. He then glanced at the river that was already overwhelming in volume and had caused their feet to be buried in water. “There’s no point in trying to break it today. And the rain will definitely provide us with more help.”

Nan Hua followed his line of sight and nodded. For the past two days, the water in the river had already overflowed, causing small flood for them. But the problem was within the city because the water also entered the city.

It was definitely flooding inside too.

Most of the people in this era didn’t have house with more than one floor because the construction fee could be expensive. Thus, majority of people already have their house flooded and have difficulties to sleep.

Without sleeping, how were they supposed to keep their mental state well for the battle?

Thus, the battle has been in Fei Yang Kingdom’s favor.

However, this time, it was Fei Yang Kingdom’s side who kept on delaying the battle because they wanted to see how the people in Wei Da Kingdom will react with the water flooding yet they still have to fight bitterly.

*rumble*

The sky was dark as dark clouds were approaching. This is the eight day and it was the first time rain came during the time they fought against Wei Da Kingdom.

It seemed as if the Heaven was also favoring them and gave them advantage in this battle.

Splash! Splash!

As the soldiers kept on moving forward, the water prevented them from moving quickly. But at the same time, it protected them more from the boiling water that Wei Da Kingdom’s soldiers still used to halt their climbing progress.

Such an old fashioned tactic was all that this River General Kui could do.

Nan Hua watched the battle and watched as the rain poured down. She cupped her fist towards Wu Shan and then walked back towards her own camp. Nan Luo was still waiting at the defensive line as the soldiers were climbing up and tried their best to kill more Wei Da Kingdom’s soldiers.

“They’re also using women to fight.” Nan Luo then looked at Nan Hua. “Do you think it’s right for them to do it?”

Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo and then at the distance. “Be it women or men, they had the same right to defend their homeland.”

Nan Luo’s eyes flashed and nodded.

On the battlefield, they were all soldiers who fought for their own kingdom. It didn’t matter whether they were men, women, old or young. All they could do was to treat others as soldiers who also raised their weapon to fight.

So they will fight back for the sake of their own kingdom.

Splash! Splash!

As rain poured down, River General Kui was feeling extremely desperate. He was standing on top of the wall and watched as the rain made the flood in the Capital City worse. Their grains were wet and they had lost a lot of food and things from these flood.

He felt that whoever staged this damn flood should just go to hell.

He can’t believe that anyone would actually use their advantage to become their weakness like this. It was so vexing that River General Kui actually wished that he could strangle whoever came up with the idea and implemented it.

“River General Kui, more soldiers are passing out!”

“Send them back! Hold the line!” River General Kui roared. No matter what, he could not lose this battle. This is the battle that would determine the fate of Wei Da Kingdom and the face of the six kingdoms.

Wei Da Kingdom’s citizen would never be able to raise their head again if they were to end up as the first big kingdom to ever fall.

“Hold the line!”

“UOoooooooooo!”

“Maintain formation.”

Amidst the heavy rain, the scream and shout from the commander from both sides were mixed. The battle had only been going for nine days but Wei Da Kingdom’s soldiers were already tired.

They could already see that the situation was at their disadvantage and their morale had been all time low.

If not for the sake of their family members who were staying in the Capital City, they might not be able to raise their weapon.

General Gui coming clearly raise their morale.

But when they saw General Gui being beaten up by Yu Jin so badly that they couldn’t do anything, they felt that all their hopes were dashed.

How come the powerful general in their mind ended up being so weak?

…

<Wei Da Kingdom’s Palace>

That night, the Emperor of Wei Da Kingdom was listening to the report with a black face. He had heard that General Gui managed to reach the capital city in 8 days, which was faster than the first estimation.

But seeing how General Gui couldn’t even defeat Yu Jin, the Mountain Queen, Wei Da Kingdom’s Emperor was so angry that he wanted to smash everything in front of him.

“Figure out how to settle everything! I don’t care what method you use as long as you can settle this problem!” the Emperor roared in anger.
