Chapter 242: Turning the Situation
242 Turning the Situation
Nanglong Souka never had experienced the despair like he was feeling like now for a long time. The last time he felt the extreme danger was when the emperor targeted their family.
By any means, Nanglong Souka was not a soldier. He was only an official that can barely use the sword. But when he thought that everything will be over, he could hear the sound of cheering reverberated in the city. It was as if everyone were cheering at the same time.
Looking at the direction, he smiled slightly.
"That brat, your timing is really good."
Nanglong Soujin looked towards the soldiers who came inside icily. Using his sword, he quickly made the way for him to reach the wall where majority of the soldier was there. Looking at the exhausted grandfather of his, he stopped for a moment.
"The strategy you used is stupid."
Nanglong Souka felt like vomiting blood because of his grandson remark. This brat! Did you come all the way to here just for saying that to me?!
However, Soujin no longer paid any attention to his grandfather. Looking at the soldiers of the Kai Kingdom that started to overrun them, he yelled.
"Soldier of Nanglong family, what are you doing here? Are you running away from your enemy?"
The voice of Soujin can be heard clearly from the people on the wall and even under it. The moment they heard it, they all cheered up, their leader has returned!
"Did your famous name for being able to face multiple enemies at once are mere rumors? Did I train you all to be a coward?"
The soldier started to fight even more energized. Their leader was here and they have been training under him with that hellish training. No one could imagine just how hard it was to stand under the hellish training that Soujin provided for them. Compared to that, this battle was nothing!
"Since you're being so eager to tell me that the training I construct is useless, I will make a better one after this."
The soldiers were terrified. That training was MORE than enough to make them wanted to collapse after it was done. Now their leader wanted to make a more arduous one?
Soujin smirked, forming a devilish smile on his handsome face. "If you don't want, prove it to me that my training is not useless and you still can fight. Those ants from Kai Kingdom are nothing, am I right?"
"YESSSSS!"
The scream and yell from the soldier all around the place was sounded loud and clear to Soujin ear. The young man smiled. It was the time for counterattack. Looking towards the enemy lines, he knew that there was someone he needed to meet for a fight.
Going down to the gate, he forced back all the enemy soldiers as his own soldier gathering behind him to clean up the rest. With Soujin return, their morale and unity had turned into another step higher and no one dared to slack off in the slightest.
Nanglong Souka was speechless with the transformation of the soldier. When he was the one giving order, they still did it, though only as an order. But after Soujin came and gave them order, they treated it as if it was the most important things in their life and strike down the enemy hard.
Did you need to give us a really different treatment like that?
Feeling that the world was unfair, Nanglong Souka can only retreated back. He didn't feel like leading the soldier in the fight anymore. Comparing himself with his grandson would only make him felt old and useless.
"That brat, I will give him a lesson after this."
Devising a plan on his head, he was about to rejoice when he remembered that his grandson was better than him at almost everything. He wanted to cry. Normally, one would be happy if their descendants could pass them, but in his case, he wanted to beat up that brat badly.
Sighing, he returned back to the residence only to see the mess wherever his eyes lay.
"They reach here? Wait, what about Qin Shie?"
Running frantically to the inside, he was glad when he saw that Qin Shie was busy ordering the servant around to clean up the mess on this room. However, upon seeing the calm on that woman face, he felt that he had just made a fool out of himself here.
"Father, what are you doing here?" Qin Shie eyed Nanglong Souka who stood on the door suspiciously. Didn't he go to the wall to salvage the situation? Why did he suddenly return here?
On the second thought, she understood. "Soujin have taken over? That's good. With him in the charge, the battle will end in our victory."
Nanglong Souka pointed his hand upwards. Do you all have to stab me in my heart again? Those soldiers have given him a punch right to his face when he looked at the different in their treatment towards Soujin. Now, even Qin Shie was saying that she trusted Soujin more than him.
Where is the justice? Nanglong Souka screamed hard inside his heart demanding the justice.
Qin Shie looked at her father-in-law innocently. "You're just an official. How can you compare with Soujin in the terms of military? Besides, if you're the one who leads the battle, we will be losing rather than winning."
Suppressing the urge to vomit blood, Nanglong Souka turned to his room dejectedly. Even his daughter-in-law is on that brat side. Who will be on his side?
Looking at her depressed father, Qin Shie thought about what she had just told him. Was there anything wrong? She only stated the truth.
Not wanting to think about it any further, Qin Shie continued to direct the servants into cleaning the mess here. She was unaware to the damage her father-in-law suffered from her careless remark.
