Chapter 2007 An Order
Returning to her camp, Yu Jin saw Wu Shan, who was listening to the soldier’s accounting what had happened over the past few months on this frontline. She purposely didn’t call Wu Shan back because they could still handle the situation. Besides, the people at the south were also suffering because of the rest of the scattered soldiers that were left when Shi Long Kingdom retreated. For some reasons, these soldiers didn’t return to Shi Long Kingdom’s territory. In the end, it took them some time to manage this matter before everything could be considered solved. Wu Shan returned at this time meant that he was ready to help Yu Jin. And Yu Jin also noticed that Young Leader Kui, Kui Yu Na, was also coming with Wu Shan. She smiled faintly as she could guess that their relationship now was pretty good. “Jin Jie,” Wu Shan called out when he saw Yu Jin coming. “How’s the situation there?”
“It’s pretty good, but the supplies are stretching thin with the war continuing,” Wu Shan replied. Unlike Fei Yang Kingdoms who has been preparing for war and has been raising the tax and also encouraging opening more wastelands, the people here were not prepared for the long war. Thus their supplies were not very much if they were asked to continue supporting the people on the frontline. But for the sake of their own safety, they all chose to continue contributing and tried their best to support this war. Because they all knew very well that should they lost, they would lose everything. It was not something that they would be willing to accept. “I see.” Yu Jin frowned. It seemed that they would have to figure out a way to finish the war as soon as possible. “Do you need more help, Jin Jie?” Wu Shan asked. “Just help me during the battle and it’s already more than enough,” Yu Jin replied. Wu Shan was not very good at using his head to think about strategy, so she didn’t really expect him to be able to help her in this area. Wu Shan nodded in understanding. The two of them proceeded to talk about the strategy for tomorrow. …

The third general was the one arranging for the battle in accordance to what Heavenly General Sang told him for various matter. It was just that they all expected to be able to win within a month, yet it has been dragged for so long. Not to mention, the death of the first and second general some time ago also gave a blow to them.
Even though they had already pushed the frontline back to the lake, the current situation was no longer advantageous for Shi Long Kingdom. In fact, it could be said that they were at the disadvantage to a certain degree. “What is that?” The third general looked at Adjutant Bo, who was holding a bamboo scrolls.
They usually received bamboo scrolls too, but this was the first time the Third General saw Adjutant Bo received one. From the way it looked like, the scroll should have come from the Capital City, which meant that it was from Heavenly General Sang. “An order given to us.” Adjutant Bo chuckled. His eyes gleamed with ruthlessness. “It seems that the victory will be in our side soon.”
The third general didn’t understand. General Gao listened to Adjutant Bo’s words and also didn’t understand. But he guessed that Heavenly General Sang must have other plans to do since they were no longer in such a hurry.

<Long distance away, Shi Long Kingdom’s Capital City, Imperial Palace>
After Heavenly General Sang returned from the frontline, he no longer had the interest to go on such a long trip. While being on the frontline directly will help him to give a more accurate and better order, but his old body was no longer able to withstand such high intensity situation. For this matter, Heavenly General Sang only sighed.
He was already old and no one could escape from the passage of time. No matter how much Heavenly General Sang felt annoyed because of this matter, he chose not to think too much and just lived his life honestly. Because even if he kept on drinking those supplements, it would not really aid him that much in prolonging his life. So Heavenly General Sang had made a lot of arrangements. This way, even when he was no longer here, Shi Long Kingdom would be able to stand tall and high without the need for him to worry so much. “Heavenly General Sang, is this matter reliable?” One of the princes, Prince Wu, was standing not far from Heavenly General Sang and looked confused. Heavenly General Sang was one of the tutors for the princes. It was something that was arranged by the Emperor so that he would be willing to support them when they take over the throne in the future. Of course, another reason was for the Emperor to keep watch of them. After all, the lessons were all done in the Imperial Palace where his men were around and could keep watch of Heavenly General Sang. Heavenly General Sang didn’t care about what Emperor Shi Wang thought as he just did his duties and what he wanted when interacting with the princes. As for what that annoying Emperor thought, it was not up to Heavenly General Sang’s consideration. At least, he didn’t care at all. “It might not look like it’s reliable,” Heavenly General Sang said slowly, “But sometime, there are things in this world that’s hard to explain.”
The fifth prince pursed his lips when he listened to Heavenly General Sang’s explanation. After all, he couldn’t really understand why Heavenly General Sang would believe in something like this. Heavenly General Sang chuckled but didn’t explain. The fifth prince was the one with the best brain and also most ambitions. But how this prince performed would determine whether Heavenly General Sang could use him or not in the future.
