Chapter 2304: Respectable Opponent
The night passed by quietly.
The next day when they woke up, they received news from Great General Wei’s army through the smoke signal.
Great General Wei and his army won.
However, their army would wait for Long Qian Xing’s army to arrive in their location before the next departure.
This news surprised them.
“Did something happen to Father?” Wei Mu Bai frowned. His father was not the one to delay things. Even if he would only fight when he was prepared, he would not stop in the middle of nowhere like this. At least, he had to reach the battlefield area.
Long Qian Xing frowned. “Let’s go quickly.”
He was not sure either because the smoke signal’s message was limited. They have no way to deliver more message through this method, so they could only go to the designated location quickly to figure out what had happened.
Nan Hua’s eyes flickered.
She knew what had happened, but she couldn’t stop it because she didn’t know how to explain how she knew about this. Besides, she was sure that Great General Wei would not listen even if she told him.
As a general who had raked in a lot of achievements, Great General Wei could be said to have his own arrogance.
He wouldn’t want to listen to the words of a young woman even if Nan Hua is also his junior sister.
‘Forget it.’
The situation shouldn’t be too much different from the description in the story.
The soldiers under Long Qian Xing quickly made their way to the south to meet with the main army. Because of the strange message delivered through the smoke signal, their speed this time was a bit faster than usual.
…
<North border of Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom, Great General Wei’s side>
*the battle the day before*
Stab! Slash!
Great General Wei moved his horse quickly, trying to avoid the attack, but found that his horse failed to react in time. As a result, he also failed to react and a sword stabbed through the gap on his armor.
Raising his hand, Great General Wei had already slashed through his opponent and saw the familiar face under the helmet of the other party.
Thud!
“General Huang.” Great General Wei looked at General Huang, who was dressed as Fei Yang Kingdom’s soldiers and narrowed his eyes. The other soldier who stopped his horse not long ago was already killed under his adjutant’s sword.
“Great General Wei, are you alright?” Great General Wei’s adjutant quickly stepped forward worriedly.
“I’m fine,” Great General Wei answered lightly and looked at General Huang below.
*cough* *cough*
The counterattack from Great General Wei cut open a hideous wound on his chest, but he was still alive.
Great General Wei held his shoulder, which was almost cut by General Huang just now. The attack was really fast and ruthless. But at the same time, it was also the type of attack that didn’t leave any room for retreat.
General Huang knew that this method might result in his end, but he still did it.
“You’re a good opponent, General Huang,” Great General Wei said lightly and then turned around. “Kill him.”
“Yes, Great General Wei.”
Great General Wei’s adjutant was full of murderous intent. He was angry at this person who dared to hurt his general.
*cough*
General Huang looked at Great General Wei’s back and smiled faintly.
Naturally, he knew that this method was really reckless and could be said to be quite stupid. But he had no other way to stop Great General Wei aside from this.
It was common knowledge that to win a war, they had to either kill the general or eliminated the soldiers.
General Huang wanted to do the first one.
Because with the large difference in soldiers between Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom under him, it would be impossible for him to do the second one. He knew his abilities well and it was simply an unreasonable dream.
‘So this is the end.’
General Huang took a deep breath and looked at the forest and sky above him. He could feel his consciousness was fading and even without Great General Wei’s adjutant giving him the killing blow, he would not be able to survive.
But this would be for the best.
If he had to bear the name of the traitors, his family would not be able to survive under the persecution of others who were living there.
Because as the general, he had a responsibility on his shoulder.
From the moment he decided to become a general and pursued his dream, he realized that his action would affect the lives of many people around him.
His soldiers, his family, and so on.
In this war against Fei Yang Kingdom, General Huang knew very well that he would definitely
lose.
But he could give up.
The soldiers under him also knew that they couldn’t run away.
For the sake of their families and the kingdom behind them… they had to fight until the very
end.
Stab!
General Huang felt pain and his vision turned dark, yet there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips. He had regrets and unwillingness, but at the same time, he was ready.
This is the end he had chosen for himself.
He hoped that the people he left behind would be able to understand why he had to go first.
Great General Wei’s adjutant left after killing General Huang and taking the general’s head. He followed behind Great General Wei and push back the remaining soldiers from Fan Yi
Kingdoms.
Even without General Huang, there were still other adjutants and commanders there.
But Fei Yang Kingdom was not weak.
Nearing the end of the day, the result of the battle was clear and Fan Yi Kingdom’s soldiers
retreated once again. After retreating several times, their retreat speed was very fast and
looked very proficient.
“Great General Wei, shall we chase after them?”
