572 Third Day – East Area
"Long Qian Xing?" Shangguan Xian tilted his head, trying to remember the name. While he was thinking, his blade didn't stop moving as he attacked General Fang even more rapidly, targeting his weak points.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Even though Shangguan Xian was already a 5000 men commander, he was the type of commander who liked to work on his own without asking for help from other commanders. He barely knew other younger people because his attention was only on those who were older and stronger than him.
In his mind, his goal was to surpass his grandfather, who was once an indisputable legend at the battlefield and completely rewrite the history.
For those who were the same age or younger…
He really didn't remember most of them.
After a few strike, Shangguan Xian finally recalled that the young commander who was supposed to be here and exchanged place with him seemed to be called Young Commander Long. Was his full name Long Qian Xing?
"He's not here."
Clang!
General Fang was furious. He was absolutely confident that he would be able to defeat Long Qian Xing if that young man was here. But the one who came forward to face him was actually Shangguan Xian.
How could he not feel vexed that his plan was thwarted so easily?
Damn it!
Just what kind of sorcery did these people from Fei Yang Kingdom used in order to cross the river?
No one noticed!
…
East Area
Clang! Clang! Slash! Clang! Peng!
Various sounds of the battle filled the battlefield. Even without General Shangguan, the battle was still very fierce. In fact, the soldiers were all so pumped up as they wanted to avenge their general's death.
To think that their general would die because of poison. How could they easily accept it?
"Commander Lin, we're already half way." The female adjutant who accompanied Lin Lu informed her leader.
Commander Lin Lu nodded her head. She was actually very afraid, but she still moved forward with the many bottles of poison that she had prepared for the battle. Right now, she only wanted to finish everything quickly and reach Fei Yang Kingdom's army's headquarter to finish the strategist.
That way, the battle could end faster.
Drap! Drap! Drap!
A group of cavalry rushed towards their direction.
The female adjutant furrowed her eyebrows and quickly brandished her axe. She had to make sure that the person who came wouldn't be able to reach them at all.
Swish!
Clang!
"Oh, you're pretty fast." A playful tone reached the female adjutant's ear.
She was stunned as she was sure that they were already within the smoke area. This place was supposed to be within Lin Lu's poison's area. How come the young man in front of her didn't seem to be affected at all?
In fact, his voice sounded as if he was enjoying himself in the midst of the battle like this.
Swish!
The two of them distanced themselves.
Long Qian Xing looked at the female adjutant then glanced at Lin Lu, who was still spreading the powder around her. He clicked his tongue. No wonder that Shangguan Xiao suddenly asked him to switch place with Shangguan Xian with a number of their soldiers.
There were only a few commanders who had poison resistances and he was coincidentally one with quite amazing resistances.
Long Qian Xing personally disliked it if anyone ever mentioned this fact in front of his face. But since Shangguan Xiao had personally come to him last night, he chose to listen to that young man's request. Crossing the river through that rather deep area was not easy, so Long Qian Xing decided to listen to his request.
It also took him a lot of preparation and also a lot of calculation in order to make sure that the enemies didn't notice them crossing the river in the middle of the night. Long Qian Xing himself didn't like it.
In such emergency, he chose to let this matter slide.
But if there was any next time, he would make sure to make Shangguan Xiao went broke by asking him to treat the entire soldiers.
He didn't want to turn bald from thinking about many complicated matters.
"A poison master, huh?" Long Qian Xing could faintly smell the herbs on the air and the corner of his lips curled up to form a smirk. Even the combination of poison his sister used to force him to drink was stronger than this.
How could this be compared to what he had experienced in the past?
Thus, Long Qian Xing genuinely looked down upon this type of poison master who thought that they were capable.
Zhang Xu Kingdom truly overestimated themselves.
Or it might be possible that there were some truly capable people who didn't participate in this joint war. Long Qian Xing himself didn't believe that every talented people from Zhang Xu Kingdom would want to come here.
War is cruel.
And for some people who were used to just researching… this place was naturally unsuitable for them.
"You…" the female adjutant's face was filled with disbelief.
Swish!
Without waiting for the other party to finish talking, Long Qian Xing had already rushed forward. His sword was pointed straight at the female adjutant.
Clang!
The axe clashed against the sword.
The female adjutant was clearly flustered, but she was trying her best to maintain her stance. She knew that the moment she lost her cool meant that she would lose the battle. There was no way she could possibly let herself lose.
She had to protect Commander Lin as it was the task that the prime minister handed to her.
Even if she had to lose her life, she had to protect Commander Lin!
"Commander Lin, use more!" the female adjutant roared as the other soldiers also began to rush in. She could sense that the young commander in front of her, who didn't look that much younger than her, had an astonishing resistance towards poison.
