Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1870  Fei Yang Kingdom’s Defeat

The battle was the most unforgettable war in the heart of these soldiers.

But at the same time, it was also the most crushing defeat Shangguan Xian ever suffered in his entire career.

More than half of his entire army was wiped out.

Even if they managed to kill many soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom in their rage and despair, but no one could soothe their bleeding hearts. Many of those who had their family members held hostage also died in this battle.

Because they fought to their death, ignoring their own safety and all.

Only a few survived.

Shangguan Xian looked at the pile of women and children who had died. Even though they fought with all their might, the corpses couldn’t even be retrieved back. Many were buried and no longer recognizable amidst the many soldiers who were left behind at the bottom of the city wall.

“General, give your order.” Shangguan Xian’s adjutant looked at the general in front of him. His tone was indifferent.

Shangguan Xian looked back and saw the young adjutant. This was the adjutant who lost his mother in the war back then and had followed Shangguan Xian but because of their conflict, Shangguan Xian never give him any important position.

He had four adjutants in total.

Two died with their family members in the battle just now and the other one was mourning on the side.

He moved his eyes away. “Retreat.”

Even if he wanted to get his family members’ corpses back, he couldn’t do it now. His eyes were bloodshot due to anger and rage, but there was nothing that he could do.

The adjutant cupped his fist and walked away.

Thud!

Shangguan Xiao stood not far from Shangguan Xian. In this battle, almost all the elites and people who had followed Shangguan Xian for years were eliminated. As the one who arranged the tactic, he was the clearest of their situation.

From 200,000 soldiers in the beginning.

Now, there were only slightly more than 60,000 were left. Half of them were the soldiers under General Hong, 10,000 were the soldier under him and the commanders under him, 15,000 were the soldiers under Shangguan Xian and the rest were the soldiers under the few temporary generals.

It was a crushing defeat.

“Brother,” Shangguan Xiao called out. “The soldier still need you.”

“I know.” Shangguan Xian stood up. His hands were trembling in anger and frustration, but he still moved to lead his soldiers back. Because they couldn’t stay here.

The longer they stayed, the more casualties could be inflicted upon them from Shi Long Kingdom’s side.

Shangguan Xiao gritted his teeth. He was the one responsible for arranging the safety of their family members, so he knew very clearly that the mistake lies in his. Because he didn’t arrange enough, these people were caught by Shi Long Kingdom.

He felt anger.

Compared to the anger towards Shi Long Kingdom, he was angrier towards himself.

Because he knew very well that without his mistake, this will never happen. And Shangguan Xiao also understood that the pressure of this mistake will follow him for the rest of his life.

And he accepted it.

…

The soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom retreated.

Heavenly General Bao wanted to chase after them. He still hadn’t had enough fun after that battle just now.

“You have a strange taste,” Heavenly General Sang commented and then added, “But you can’t go because the order given to you is to go to the south and face those two young generals.”

The moment he heard that, Heavenly General Bao’s face turned black. He was given the order to help Heavenly General Sang and the moment the opponent retreated, he had to go again. The south war had to end as soon as possible, so Emperor Shi Wang wanted to use him to put pressure.

“I know.” Heavenly General Bao waved his hand and stood up. “But I have to wait for my soldiers to come back first.”

“Then I’ll go back first. My speed is very slow now.” Heavenly General Sang sighed.

He was already old and it was inconvenient for him to go around various places. He could only trouble other people to help him when he wanted to go somewhere.

“Ok.”

“You haven’t told me about your taste.”

“Huh? Is it that strange?” Heavenly General Bao asked back. He looked towards the bloodied battlefield and there was a grin on his face. “Well, I wish everyone will suffer~.”

I wish everyone will suffer?

Why?

Heavenly General Sang arched his eyebrows.

He didn’t know this heavenly general’s background very much. The record about Heavenly General Bao seemed not to exist at all.

What they knew was that a young man conquered several bandits’ group, united them, and then started their journey as the bandit to kill, loot, and others. The group gradually expanded in power, but if one were to ask, no one would know about Heavenly General Bao’s childhood.

Even the first group of bandit he conquered had already dead many years ago in the battles against various other bandit groups.

This heavenly general always seemed to be alone.

There were many adjutants and others, but Heavenly General Bao was not close to either one of them. They all only followed him because of his promise and also the money that was given to them.

Loyalty?

Heavenly General Bao cared nothing about it.

“You’re very interesting.” Heavenly General Sang laughed and waved his hand. “We shall see each other again in the future.”

Heavenly General Bao was sneering at Heavenly General Sang, but the moment the old man left, his expression turned serious.

He knew that Heavenly General Sang might have suspected something.

Even though they have little interaction, but Heavenly General Bao knew that Heavenly General Sang was famous for his intelligence. It was also because of this that he didn’t like interacting with other heavenly generals.

They were too smart. It was not good for him to let them know too much.
