Chapter 564 End of the Second Day

Chapter 564 End of the Second Day

The drum signaling the end of the day eased Shangguan Xiao's heart. At the very least, they managed to survive for another day.

Despite the loss….

"Second Young Commander Shangguan, we did it."

"Yes…"

The soldier noticed Shangguan Xiao's heavy look and understood that it was impossible for Shangguan Xiao to be happy even though they managed to hold on this battle. He had just lost his father because of the treacherous scheme of Prime Minister Lei.

How could he be happy?

"Call my brother and cousin up. I want to talk with them."

"Yes, Second Young Commander Shangguan."

Shangguan Xiao's mind was still churning hard, trying to figure out a method to deal with Lin Lu. The number of their commander and soldier who had considerable immunity against poison was very small.

In fact, Shangguan Xiao only knew one.

'I'll take this gamble then.'

…

Zhang Xu Kingdom's side.

"Leader, sorry, I failed." Lin Lu was fidgeting. She was afraid of being reprimanded by Prime Minister Lei because she failed to penetrate deep into the lines of the enemy and break through the lines.

Prime Minister Lei looked at Lin Lu and waved his hand. "It's fine."

With Lin Lu's personality, he would be more astonished to see she was being successful. He knew that Fei Yang Kingdom's men were all madmen. They were all very wild and often attacked by relying more of their instinct, like that of barbarian.

But for Fei Yang Kingdom, it was a very suitable tactic.

The prove being their kingdom still managed to stand tall even after being attacked by other kingdoms for so many times.

General Kong looked in their direction and snorted. He really couldn't understand why someone like Lin Lu could become a commander in the first place. She was certainly not suitable to stand on the frontline like this.

"Prime Minister Lei, what's the plan for tomorrow?" Heavenly General Zhang asked as he slumped on the chair. After dueling against Great General Shangguan for the entire day, he felt his body was sore.

After all, he was no longer young and had been staying on the battlefield for so many years. Age had started to catch up with him.

"They will naturally try to prepare a counter for Lin Lu." Even though Fei Yang Kingdom's soldiers could be called as barbarians, they were not without brains. There must be some kind of method that they would prepare in order to face Lin Lu and at least held her back.

"General Kong, you will assist her tomorrow."

"Tsk, fine."

Lin Lu looked at the savage looking General Kong and bowed her head. "I'll be in your care."

General Kong merely looked in her direction for a moment then snorted. He would never agree to carry her along if it was not for Prime Minister Lei's order. At the very least, he knew that he had to follow what Prime Minister Lei asked since he was indeed a very dependable person.

"I'll tell the rest tomorrow." Prime Minister Lei waved his hand and they all walked out. In any case, they didn't have any intention to stay there any longer. It was time for them to rest.

…

Fei Yang Kingdom's side, Nan Luo and the others

"Yeah! I finished grandfather's request!" Nan Luo cheered for himself while he was carried by Xiao Yan. It was not like he didn't want to walk on his own, but after making his way back by eliminating the enemies on his way, he had lost all of his strength.

Xiao Yan could only carry him back.

Feng Ao Kuai nodded. "Yes, but you're not going to participate in tomorrow's battle."

"Ah, why?"

"Can you still fight in your condition?"

Nan Luo was silent. There were many cuts all around his body from the tip of the blade nearly cut through him. Not a single one of them was a deep wound, but they were all still wounds nevertheless. Not to mention, he didn't even have strength to walk back to his tent right now.

Tomorrow, he was sure that he wouldn't have enough strength to follow the entire battle until the very end.

"That means I'll be staying at the back?" Nan Luo asked with a pitiful expression.

Feng Ao Kuai nodded and then beckoned for Xiao Yan to move Nan Luo to his back. He had to carry his younger cousin to participate in that post battle meeting.

"Come on, Luo."

"Ugh, I…"

"Weaklings."

Nan Luo turned to glare at Feng Ao Si, who dared to mock him. He silently planned to arrange a mock battle with Feng Ao Si when the battle was over so that he could teach his older cousin a lesson.

Feng Ao Si felt a cold shiver on his back. He looked around but didn't notice anyone him who could possibly give a threat to him.

"Let's go."

"Yes, yes."

Nan Hua naturally didn't follow Nan Luo. Even though she did have a 'small achievement' not long ago, it was not really something that was worthy of mentioning amongst so many others who had made achievement.

Eating the soup first, Nan Hua waited for Nan Luo to finish that meeting so that they could rest once more.

"Are you Nan?"

Hearing that familiar voice yet calling the unfamiliar name, Nan Hua raised her head almost immediately. She could see Long Qian Xing walked towards her in an unhurried pace. There was a polite smile on his face.

Nan Hua stood up and cupped her fist. "Young Commander Long."

Long Qian Xing nodded and looked at the young kid in front of him. When he heard that a mere adjutant of Nan Luo managed to defeat a 2000 men commander, he was naturally interested. Now that he looked at the young kid, he realized that the kid didn't seem to be that different from Nan Luo.

'Was he a body double?'

Despite the thought inside his mind, Long Qian Xing's expression showed nothing strange.
