Chapter 982: Patience is a Virtue
Nan Hua walked towards Yu Jin and saw the latter’s black face. She could guess that she was feeling indignant because they still failed to break through the defense even after that Prime Minister Lei had left.
“Hua’er, which one is better between Great General Ji and Prime Minister Lei?”
“They have their own advantage and disadvantage.”
“Tsk.” Yu Jin clicked her tongue. Even though she knew that it was the most appropriate answer, it was not the answer she wanted to hear. “I thought that I can take advantage of that Great General Ji never facing us before. But I didn’t expect that he’ll be able to adapt so quickly.”
Nan Hua was silent.
Great General Ji was still a great general. No matter how careless he was, there was no way he would make the basic mistake of being unable to react in time when there was a change in the battlefield.
They were already trained for decades to respond whenever the enemy was trying a different tactic. Even though the two of them responded violently and rapidly, Great General Ji still could answer their reaction.
“Great General Ji is a very patience person, similar to General Wei.” Nan Hua thought that General Wei was a bit more patience than Great General Ji, though. But there was no need comparing the two of them with so much detail for now. “We can start our move when he decides to launch a decisive battle.”
“Wouldn’t that mean he had the advantage?” Yu Jin frowned.
“He won’t.”
Two words, said succinctly with confidence.
Yu Jin glanced at Nan Hua, who was still staring at her with the same indifference face as ever. Sometimes, she wondered just how this young girl was capable of hiding so much emotion within her heart and only showcased face without any change in expression.
Even she wouldn’t be able to do that so perfectly.
“For the next few days, he’ll most likely try to probe our abilities before deciding to attack. Besides that, Fei Yang Kingdom wouldn’t stay silent when they’re being put into passive situation like this. They’ll most likely send reinforcement over.”
Reinforcement?
Yu Jin felt that it was the same as looking down on her, but she had to admit that she was not at the level where she could gain absolute dominance in the battlefield. She struggled mentally before sighing.
“Fine, let’s just do that for now. I’m going to probe him too by using some of my tactics. I don’t believe that he will not respond at all.” Yu Jin cracked her fist together. She was itching to beat up that old general.
Nan Hua glanced at Yu Jin. When the battlefield’s ground was changed to the hills and forest, she knew very well that almost no one would be able to defeat Yu Jin’s army. In those terrains, she’s the mountain queen.
But it was not the time yet.
The time when Yu Jin could fully show her abilities would only come in the future.
…
The next day, Great General Ji probed like what Nan Hua expected. There was nothing much new and Yu Jin was only more frustrated because she had to face Fang Sheng Lin. This big man was switching between her and Nan Hua from time to time as if he was practicing martial arts with them.
The feeling was definitely not good.
On the third day, Nan Hua noticed that Great General Ji actually tried to circle around through the forest at the side. This was a tactic that Prime Minister Lei didn’t do before.
Not because he couldn’t.
But because he knew that there were people who were prepared within the forest.
‘He’s no longer as sharp as he’s at his peak?’
That was Nan Hua’s thoughts when she saw Great General Ji acting more cautious and tried to probe around. However, no matter whether this was his level of skill or it was because he was aged, Nan Hua felt that he was easier to deal compared to Prime Minister Lei.
At the very least, for her, it was the case.
“Princess Jun, is there anything…?”
“Continue attacking.”
“Yes!”
In the forest, the group of people who were sent by Great General Ji couldn’t go far before they were ambushed midway. They couldn’t do much and most of their members died within the first few moments when the attack started.
“Defend!”
“Defend!”
“Gah!”
Slash! Peng!
Several of them died following soon afterwards and the rest took some more time. However, this confirmed that in order to circle around the battlefield, they would have to take longer detour if they truly wanted to use this method.
Not to mention, longer detour would mean that they wouldn’t be able to see the main battlefield.
What if there was a change in plan?
What if there were more traps?
No one could know for sure.
In Zhang Xu Kingdom’s side, Great General Ji listened to the report made by the soldiers who survived from the ambush. He was located at the rear and was lucky enough to survive with his life.
“An ambush?” Great General Ji frowned.
Recalling the information that they had about Jun Hua coming from Dark Moon Organization, Great General Ji sighed in frustration.
“A barbarian and an assassin, both are really hard to deal with. Let’s maintain the status quo for the next few days.”
“Yes, Great General!”
With that, the battle turned rather monotone as the two sides were being careful with each other. Neither tried large scale attack or anything like that and the battle was mostly only clash between the soldiers.
But Nan Hua knew that this was only the beginning.
They will make a move soon.

Months of battle had allowed Fei Yang Kingdom to settle down with their expansion. They naturally wanted to capture the entire kingdom in one scoop, but it failed. At the very least, they had managed to expand their territory into Wei Da Kingdom and made these areas their own.
