Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing continued on the battlefield. It was such a situation where everyone had to fight or they will die. 

The few commanders under General Kai were already quite desperate. They all knew that no matter what happened, they might not be able to end up well in this battle. After all, Fan Yi Kingdom was determined to kill them all and pushed the border back.

lightsΝοvel A few years’ prior, Fan Yi Kingdom had lost their territory to Long Qian Xing during the war that they started. Ever since then, they hadn’t been able to push them back and General Kai was able to guard the border safely.

Spring had just passed and Fan Yi Kingdom had recovered from their losses after their battle against the tribes at the north.

Now, many commanders and soldiers were moved to the south.

And war had turned fierce.

“Commander Kui! We’ll be pushed back!”

Commander Kui, used to be called Young Commander Kui, was the only descendant of River General Kui who was still alive. After his grandfather’s death, he stayed low and didn’t dare to make many noises.

His reputation was not very good but he managed to stay alive when he promised to be loyal to Fei Yang Kingdom. After that, he was given position as commanders and allowed to lead his soldiers who used to follow him. Their number had decreased due to the casualties during the war between Wei Da Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom several years ago.

But it was definitely better than nothing.

At the very least, he was allowed to fight again on the battlefield and sent to the north where he would fight together with General Kai.

He didn’t know General Kai that well, but because they were both came from the already gone Wei Da Kingdom, it seemed that they were able to work together so far. It was just that this battle put them in overwhelming disadvantage.

“Continue to retreat and follow along with the other soldiers.” Commander Kui’s expression was not very good. “Try not to engage too long with the enemies and follow me back.”

“Yes!”

They would have no other choice but to abandon the city they had been staying for some time. But at this point of time, both he and General Kai had the same thought.

That was to retreat and protect their lives.

“Have you called for reinforcement?”

“Yes, Commander Kui, there’s already a call for reinforcement. They should arrive soon.”

Soon?

How soon would that be?

Commander Kui’s expression was cold as he continued to direct the soldiers to retreat. Hopefully, they would be able to escape to safety tonight and rested well for tomorrow’s battle.

If not…

It wouldn’t be very pretty tomorrow.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Not only Commander Kui, the few other commanders were also directing their soldiers to retreat. They could see that they were at disadvantage and wanted to go back towards the plains some distance away for a better battle terrain.

In this forest and also within the territory that previously belonged to Fan Yi Kingdom, they couldn’t gain much advantage right now.

It was chaotic.

Without an absolute leader to control the situation, the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom’s side was being pressed. 

…

<Long Qian Xing’s side>

After Long Qian Xing separated from Nan Hua, he continued his journey towards the border. He had received message that General Yu wouldn’t be fighting with him, so he chose to depart first.

There were many people’s lives on the line, so he chose to go first and left a message for Nan Hua to follow him later.

Drap! Drap! Drap!

“General Xing, there’s a smoke signal at the front!” 

“I see that.” Long Qian Xing looked into the distance and frowned. The signal was beyond the mountain in front of him. No matter how fast he tried to head over there, it would take at least three incense stick of time (three hours).

He wouldn’t be able to arrive in time to help the soldiers.

Not to mention, he was already at the border and there might be soldiers from Fan Yi Kingdom waiting in ambush.

Because he was heading towards the village before this, he was going from the direction of the west towards the northeast. Along the way, he didn’t see anything different from usual, but he knew that Fan Yi Kingdom was already launching great attacks towards them.

It wouldn’t be easy for them to defend their kingdom when they were unprepared in this situation.

Though, Long Qian Xing still felt that it was fine.action

He has been waiting to fight against that damn man for so many years after coming to this world.

“Halt!”

The horses suddenly stopped. 

Long Qian Xing looked at the side and narrowed his eyes. “Raise your shield to the left side!”

“Yes!”

Bang! Bang!

The soldiers raised their shield and prepare for battle. 

In the next moment, soldiers poured out from between the trees, rushing towards them in rapid speed. It was clear that these soldiers had been waiting for ambush here.

“Great General Ji.” Long Qian Xing saw a person in the distance and raised his sword. “Kill them all!”

“UOOOOOO!”

Clang! Clang! Clang! 

The battles officially started as the soldiers from two kingdoms clashed against each other.

At the back, Great General Ji watched the battle with an indifferent expression. He had purposely put the soldiers a distance away from the road to hide their arrival and presence from Long Qian Xing, but this tactic still failed.

It seemed that facing Long Qian Xing, this kind of tactic and schemes would never work.

“Great General Ji, Strategist Song hadn’t finished the battle.” One of the soldiers informed as he watched the smoke signal from the distance away.

“I know.”

“Then…”

“Leave it be.” Great General Ji was calm. He had been hit with several setbacks after facing Fei Yang Kingdom. This time, he was no longer fighting alone. “Tell Gao Xing Huan to take over.”
