Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2019  Strategy

How long?

The other two leaders also looked in Long Qian Xing's direction, wondering how he would answer that. They were already trying their best to withstand Shi Long Kingdom's attack for a long period of time. Their resources were stretched thin and if this continued, it wouldn't be long before they experienced internal struggle and so on. "We'll be retreating while holding on tomorrow," Long Qian Xing said slowly.

Retreat?

"But we can't retreat any further or we're going to our territory!" Pan Lei Yin quickly refuted. He didn't want to lose his territory to Shi Long Kingdom.

His territory were located at the north compared to the other two, which meant that if Shi Long Kingdom were to breach in their territory, it was his territory that would get the hardest hit. Naturally, Pan Lei Yin didn't want this to happen the most. He was the one who asked for help from the others in the first place because his place was going to get hit. "And it wouldn't take long for it to reach my territory and Ming Family territory too," Ye Shu Ken added from the side.

Even if he wouldn't bear the brunt at the beginning, who knew how long it would last. If that were to happen, he would also suffer a lot and what was the point of them working so hard for the past few months?

Just to prolong their lives for a few more months?

He felt bitter when he thought about it in his heart.

Only Ming Shi Hong was still looking at Long Qian Xing curiously and didn't say anything. Sometimes, other people even wondered whether this man was suitable as the leader of a big family like the Ming Family.

His action and deeds were not suitable as the leader of such a big family occasionally. "Don't worry, the reason for the retreat this time is to counterattack at the most unexpected time," Long Qian Xing said slowly.

That smoke signal… he knew very well that there were not many people who understood. But he understood very well what that smoke signal meant. It was also because he knew that he dared to make this decision…

Their next move, they had to retreat. "Really?" Pan Lei Yin was doubtful.

Ming Shi Hong suddenly laughed out loud and stood up. He looked at Long Qian Xing with a big grin on his face. "I'll leave the strategic arrangement on your hand, General Xing. Thank you for all of your help."

Long Qian Xing looked at Ming Shi Hong and nodded.

He guessed that while this leader that didn't act like a leader most of the time must have guessed something. It was also because of this that Ming Shi Hong dared to agree right away to the strategy that Long Qian Xing proposed. But even if Ming Shi Hong knew something, Long Qian Xing would not pry deeply.

He would accept it. "And tomorrow, the arrangement shall be…"

…

<not long distance away, South of Shi Long Kingdom, the battlefield between the three families and Shi Long Kingdom's side, Shi Long Kingdom's side.>

While Long Qian Xing was busy with the strategic arrangement, the Shi Long Kingdom's side was full of sadness and anger. They felt that they had the greatest advantage of number and also many powerful people. How come their end result was so bad that they kept on being pushed back by Fei Yang Kingdom and those three small families from the south?

This result was unacceptable in the eyes of many people. They thought that they should have a crushing victory but reality seemed to give them a hard slap on the face. Now, even Adjutant Bo had died. General Gao was recuperating because he was injured on his back… When he was running away from Yu Jin and Wu Shan, the two of them managed to injure him.

This was truly humiliating, but General Gao seemed to turn deaf ear and blind eyes to those soldiers who were looking at him strangely. This general's fear of death was exceptionally strong. The third general was basically the only general who could still move around. He could only promote some 5000 men commander as temporary general to lead the soldiers tomorrow to face Fei Yang Kingdom.

"Don't be so discouraged!" The third general looked at the commanders under him and snorted. "We're still at the advantage of number and there are more soldiers coming to help us. With such crushing number, it wouldn't be possible for Fei Yang Kingdom to face us anymore."

Just recently, Shi Long Kingdom sent more soldiers and they had arrived at night.

The third general felt that he had renewed his confidence.

However, they also came with the order from Heavenly General Sang to finish the battle here within a month and then went to help the frontline that was facing Great General Long. Shi Long Kingdom has been pressed by Great General Long. As more and more cities fell, the soldiers that Shi Long Kingdom could deploy were limited and they wouldn't be able to maintain this state of two frontlines anymore. Right now, Great General Long was almost reaching the dangerous area of their territory.

With Heavenly General Sang's scheme and tactic using those nobles, Shi Long Kingdom was able to hold on when facing Great General Long. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But it wouldn't be for long. The hundred thousands soldiers who were sent to the south had to be called back soon. But for now, as long as the third general was able to kill Long Qian Xing and conquered this area, then their sacrifice over the past year wouldn't be for naught and they also reaped a lot of benefit from them. This was a large territory and there were many resources in the land.

It was these resource that Heavenly General Sang coveted as the land in Shi Long Kingdom's area was not completely fertile and so on. "We'll win the next battle." The third general's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
