Chapter 976: The Progress
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sparring after the battle had become Yu Jin and Nan Hua’s habit. The two of them would fight against each other for a period of time to make sure that their strength improved. Even if it was only by a little bit, it was fine.
They needed to be able to fight against Fang Sheng Lin on their own.
“You’ve improved a lot.” Yu Jin lowered her sword, signaling the end of their spar.
Nan Hua also lowered her sword. It has been three months and during this time, they only had skirmish with the soldiers in front of them. It was not as if they didn’t want to try breaking through, but they still didn’t find the correct method to deal with Fang Sheng Lin.
Once Fang Sheng Lin decided to advance, at least one of them would have to deal with him.
There was even time when it required the two of them.
And once this happen, they naturally couldn’t attack and infiltrate deep into the enemy’s line.
Similarly, Zhang Xu Kingdom couldn’t advance further because they would surely react appropriately. Once they showed the sign of breaking through, either Nan Hua or Yu Jin would break away from the battle and deal with them appropriately.
Thus, the war had been stalemate.
The two sides kept on clashing, but it ended to be nothing more than small skirmish from time to time. There were naturally casualties, but the number were not as big as when they went all out.
Both sides were conserving their power.
“Should we go all out when that prime minister is away?” Yu Jin asked. Her fingers itched to give a good beating towards those annoying people from Zhang Xu Kingdom.
Nan Hua shook her head. “They must have prepared traps. And the situation of the snow is not exactly suitable for you two advance further.”
The terrain was disadvantageous for both sides.
More importantly, if there were more traps hidden beneath the snow, it was hard for them to know. It would be reckless to just rush over to the opponent’s headquarter just because Prime Minister Lei was not there.
It was common sense to know that their enemy wouldn’t leave their base empty.
Traps would naturally be placed on the way towards their base to fend off their enemies.
“Tsk.” Yu Jin clicked her tongue and sighed. “I thought that I can deal with the people from the other kingdoms easily. But just Zhang Xu Kingdom alone had already caused a lot of troubles.”
Nan Hua passed a glance at Yu Jin. There was no way any of the six kingdom was so weak that they could be destroyed so easily. Each of them had their own strength and weakness that allowed them to stand firm in this land.
If they were weak, they would have long been gobbled by the other kingdom.
Yu Jin herself is not weak, but she was only at the level of generals in Fei Yang Kingdom. It would be hard for her to deal with the combination of powerful people from Zhang Xu Kingdom.
‘And they hadn’t even go all out.’
Nan Hua knew very well the strength that Zhang Xu Kingdom showed right now was nothing but their surface ability. The reason for that?
It was naturally because Prime Minister Lei had no reason to use his cards yet. He was still waiting for the Emperor to change before he fully devoted himself to the kingdom. And despite restraining himself, Prime Minister Lei still had the advantage over Fei Yang Kingdom.
That was also because of the fact that he hadn’t gone all out that Nan Hua wanted to seize the chance and weaken Zhang Xu Kingdom as much as possible. She wanted to give the chance for Fei Yang Kingdom to defeat Zhang Xu Kingdom faster.
“What’s your plan, Hua’er?” Yu Jin noticed that Nan Hua seemed to be deep in thought.
“Prime Minister Lei had asked for help by taking advantage of the fact that Fan Yi Kingdom needed some supply.” Nan Hua glanced at Yu Jin. “Jin Jie, how confident are you in defeating the combination of Great General Ji and Fang Sheng Lin?”
The source of this content is no//vel//bi/n[.//]net’
Yu Jin was speechless.
“First of all, I have never fought against Great General Ji from Fan Yi Kingdom, so I can’t answer for sure. But if their combination is similar to what we have been fighting so far, it should be soon since we’re both improving.”
Just a bit more and it would be possible for them to fight against Fang Sheng Lin by themselves. So far, they had been improving at an alarming rate and even Fang Sheng Lin was improving.
But lately, Fang Sheng Lin was the one at disadvantage if the two of them attacked together.
This was also why the two of them kept on training hard.
“Mhm.”
“Hey, what are you actually thinking?” Yu Jin pointed at Nan Hua’s forehead. “You seem to have a lot in your mind.”
“The next step after breaking their formation.” Nan Hua blinked her eyes.
“…You’re already thinking that?”
“Yes.”
Nan Hua is confident in herself and her ability. She knew the differences between Prime Minister Lei and Great General Ji lies in their preferred tactics and also habit. Her force was not of much use against Prime Minister Lei, who was holding back and usually fought head front.
But against Great General Ji…
There might be a tactic that she could use against him. But she would have to wait for the right time.
If it was too early, he would be able to guess her plan.
If it was too late, it would be useless.
“If you need anything, you can tell me. No matter what I’m still your older sister, so you can ask for my help.” Yu Jin patted her chest confidently.
Nan Hua blinked her eyes. She nodded faintly.
“Hey, don’t be so reserved in front of me. Geez, when are you going to acknowledge me as your real sister?”
