FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Drap! Drap! Drap!

Long Xu led the soldiers behind him and ambushed General Huan’s soldiers from the side, his eyes showed a faint surprise. The soldiers under him were specifically trained for ambush and it was also due to this very reason that they could move quickly and intercept.

But looking at the way the battle was fought, General Duan was doing very well in terms of defense.

In just a short few years, General Duan had already upgraded Da Yi City’s equipment and built several weapons. Once the use of these things spread, it was estimated that a lot of people would be tempted to use it.

Still…

Bringing a large rock on top of the wall was definitely not easy.

At least, not as easy as using crossbows and bows.

But the damage towards the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom was definitely bigger. Before these people from Zhang Xu Kingdom could use their poison, they were already hammered to death.

Tsk, tsk.

What a pity.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm “Charge!”

“YES!”

…

With the assistance from Long Xu, General Huan had no other choice but to retreat. He had lost a lot of soldiers due to the traps that General Duan made along with that damned catapult.

As his advantage in his soldiers’ number diminished, Long Xu came and caused another strike to him.

How could he stay calm?

He was already fuming in anger and had to retreat as fast as possible so that he would not lose more soldiers. Since it was impossible to take over Da Yi City, he had to figure out other ways to attack Fei Yang Kingdom at this border.

Anyway, the border was long.

There will be other chances.

And when he was better prepared, he could also come to challenge General Duan again. At that time, he didn’t believe that General Duan would be able to continue winning. That damn general was already old.

It was time for that old fogey to retire.

This is time for a young people like him to shine!

Drap! Drap! Drap!

“Commander Long Xu!” General Duan cupped his fist. He naturally recognized Long Xu because the latter often accompanied General Xing.

“General Duan.” Long Xu also cupped his fist in accordance to etiquette.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

“Thank you for your assistance. It wouldn’t be so easy to push General Huan back without your help.” General Duan smiled.

Long Xu nodded and looked at General Duan carefully. If he had to comment, he wanted to say that General Duan looked a bit older than his real age. It seemed that the experience for the past year after the loss of Wei Da Kingdom to Fei Yang Kingdom had given him quite a large hit.

Perhaps, it was the same for everyone.

It was not easy for them to switch their allegiance and continued to fight at the frontline with great fanfare as they used to be.

“The catapult are great weapons but using them on top of the wall limited their real use.” Long Xu pointed at the few catapults that the soldiers put on top of the wall.

“That’s indeed true, but I can’t leave Da Yi City.” General Duan shook his head. How could he not know that if he wanted to maximize the use of this weapon, he had to step forward and fought on the grassland? But he didn’t want to go out of the city and leave Da Yi City.

He vowed to protect Da Yi City.

And for him, it was the best option possible to stay here and continued to protect the city. As for attacking Zhang Xu Kingdom, this role could be given to those others who wanted to showcase their ability to the world and not him.𝐍𝒐𝑣ℯ𝓁𝓷𝖊xt.𝓬𝓞𝔪

He’s already old.

He just wished that he could protect the city he had once failed to protect before.

Long Xu nodded. “I won’t stay here for long, but before that, my Master wished to relay some messages to Blacksmith Duan.”

Blacksmith Duan, Duan Shang Shao, the second young master of Duan Family, had just climbed down the stairs. Duan Shang Shao looked into the distance and saw his sister rushing towards him.

“Second Brother, why are you participating at the frontline this time?” Duan Shang Shao’s sister, Duan Shi Nian, looked at her brother worriedly.

“Shi Nian, what are you doing here? Stay at home, okay?” Duan Shang Shao looked at his sister in surprise.

“The servants said that you’re participating in the war. Didn’t you say that you don’t want to follow Eldest Brother’s path?” Duan Shi Nian rolled her eyes.

“Don’t worry, it’s just this time.” Duan Shang Shao smiled reassuringly. He raised his head and saw his father coming with Long Xu. His expression turned serious as he beckoned for his sister to step back.

Duan Shi Nian saw Duan Shang Shao’s movement and obediently stepped back. She had little status after returning to Duan Family and could only rely on her second brother, who was also of concubine born.

“Father, Commander Long Xu,” Duan Shang Shao cupped his fist and greeted politely.

General Duan nodded. “You did great in your work. Commander Long Xu is here to discuss about some things.”

“I know,” Duan Shang Shao said mildly.

The relationship between father and son was not really good. As Duan Shang Shao was of concubine born, he was not as favored as his older brother who was designed as the heir. But his older brother often seen him as a threat, so Duan Shang Shao had expressed clearly that he would not enter the military from a young age.

Instead of going to the military, he headed to the workshop and become a small blacksmith, allowing his older brother to rest assured that he would not compete for the position of the family head. It was also because of this decision that he could live well for a long time.

But ever since his older brother lost an arm and his position, General Duan began to ‘care’ more about this son he usually forgot.
