FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Chapter 888: Night Battle

Did he usually participate in the formal battle that he thought that only men were allowed to take up their weapon and attacked?     

In the war, everyone could participate.     

Even women could become soldiers and participate in the battle and some young men could participate.     

He himself was not really an adult yet because he hadn’t come of age, but he had already participated since he was still young.     

“But when I’m trying to save him… why did he attack me?” Feng Ao Si asked.     

Feng Ao Kuai was silent.     

Nan Hua looked at Feng Ao Si and answered, “We’re from Fei Yang Kingdom while they’re front Wei Da Kingdom.”     

Not all citizen would be able to accept that they were not within the territory of another kingdom. It also meant that they would have to accept being the ‘prisoner of war’ and changed their nationality.     

Some of them could accept it because they didn’t care.     

But some others couldn’t.     

“Because of that?” Feng Ao Si asked and looked at the burning city behind him. The number of citizen who were killed inside that cities were in hundreds or might be thousands.     

But it was all their decision to stay behind and destroyed the entire city.     

“They didn’t want us to make the city as our waypoint. That’s why, they chose to destroy the entire city.”     

“There are still some citizens who are saved.” Nan Luo pointed at the back where some people were pulled out. There was a mix of men, women, and children there. He didn’t even know how many people had died and how many people had lived because they wanted to destroy the entire city.     

Thunk!     

The sound of metal clashing could be heard from a distance. Nan Luo turned his head to look at the front of the camp with a frown. “Is that…?”     

“There’s a battle.” Feng Ao Kuai sat on the ground. “We’re not going to be able to participate.”     

“No wonder no generals come here.”     

The soldiers were attacked from the front by Wei Da kingdom soldiers while the people from the cities were burning down the entire city. It was the same as cutting off their path of retreat while telling others their exact location.     

“It’s really a cruel plan.”     

“The plan is a bit unusual.” Feng Ao Kuai took out a cloth and bandaged his leg. When he passed by some areas back then, there was a burning wood that bumped to his leg, giving him burnt marks.     

It was not severe, but he still had to treat it.     

“Why?” Nan Luo didn’t understand.     

“The plan is too desperate.” Feng Ao Kuai narrowed his eyes.     

Wei Da Kingdom was still at the beginning of the war, why did they already employ such ridiculously desperate tactics? Normally, there was no way they would want to involve ordinary people to the battle unless it was absolutely necessary.         

But River General Kui wanted them to destroy the entire city.     

Nan Hua glanced at Feng Ao Kuai but didn’t give any explanation. She simply stood still and watched everything that happened.     

River General Kui didn’t want to.     

It was the plan of the people in the city because Nan Hua had already destroyed the frontline before the arrival of Fei Yang Kingdom’s soldiers. The people in that city had also tried to make use of the tribes and enter Xia Mountains during the winter.     

Nan Hua made use of the chance to kill many of their soldiers back then.     

It was also because of this that Wei Da Kingdom’s frontline lacked soldiers when spring came and Fei Yang Kingdom attacked. Even after asking for reinforcement from nearby cities, it was still not enough to hold on General Long for long.     

They didn’t even last half a day.     

Thus, River General Kui asked for them to deploy this desperate tactic.

He probably hoped that it would also destroy the Dark Moon Organization’s branch as well and made it harder for them.     

But in truth…     

Nan Hua had already moved the branch outside of this city. Ji Han Yu didn’t like to stay too close to Xia Mountains, so he simply set up the line for communication through other routes. This city was not included.     

Only Wei Da Kingdom’s citizens and soldiers were here.     

“Is Wei Da Kingdom suffers some loss lately?” Nan Luo asked.     

“There’s no report of battle against any other kingdom…” Feng Ao Kuai was silent and turned to look at Nan Hua. He had the inkling that this matter must have been related to Nan Hua.     

If she had truly made an attack under the organization’s name…     

There was no way Wei Da Kingdom would publicize the matter.     

But it should have been big enough for them to have the news spread to other areas. Why did they not hear anything?     

“We should catch some sleep.”     

“We’re sleeping when they’re fighting?” Nan Luo was thoroughly confused.     

Besides, how in the world did Feng Ao Kuai hoped for them to sleep when there were such fierce battles occurring not far from them?     

“We’re going to continue advancing tomorrow. There’s no way we can stay awake and not have sleep. If we’re fatigued, we wouldn’t be able to fight properly.” Feng Ao Kuai glared at Nan Luo.     

“…Fine.”     

“Don’t worry, there’s the patrol squad that will warn us if we’re needed.”     

Nan Luo looked at the group of people that Feng Ao Kuai pointed at and felt a bit baffled. Were they truly at the frontline right now?     

It really didn’t feel like they were in one.         

On the other hand, Feng Ao Kuai himself actually felt a bit frustrated. He himself knew that the only reason why they could still sleep and rest at this time was because they were not needed.     

Their position was still too low.     

Even without their presence, the battle would still be in Fei Yang Kingdom’s favor.     

“Brother Ao Si, you should sleep too.”     

“Ah, yes.”
