Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2021  Water

The third general was ecstatic when he saw Long Qian Xing and the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom retreating. He felt that the victory ordered by Heavenly General Sang would be completed soon and he was able to gain merit from this action. How could he not be happy?

By now, the third general felt proud of himself because the stubborn Long Qian Xing who kept on making trouble for them for the past year has slowly retreating and victory was already at the sight. All he had to do was to push forward.

Just a little bit more. A little bit more was what he needed to achieve the victory he had longed for a long time. Boom!

Huh?

The third general frowned when he felt the ground below him started to shake. His heart trembled when he thought about the earthquake that happened a few years ago. It was this earthquake that caused disaster for Zhang Xu Kingdom because their kingdom was in chaos and it was difficult to maintain the frontline. Even the famous smart and capable Prime Minister Lei was exhausted and tired in the face of natural disaster like that. Thinking about it, the third general looked around him and found that many soldiers had confused look on their faces. Their rigorous fighting spirit was faltering right now and they stopped attacking. Because in the face of the natural disaster…

What would be the point of attacking their enemies?

Long Qian Xing saw this and quickly ordered the soldiers under him to retreat even further, distancing themselves from the soldiers of Shi Long Kingdom. Just as they were confused.

Someone suddenly screamed. "LOOK! LOOK! AHHHH!"

Turning their heads to the side, the soldiers were all dumbfounded when they saw large waves, even taller than the wall of those cities, rushing towards them from the west.

The formidable momentum and the exceptionally high water wall made their scalp tingle. This made them wanted to run away as far as possible, but it was not possible in the slightest bit. How could their puny speed be compared to the speed of water rushing?

Splash! Splash! The water surged and the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom was ordered to keep retreating to the side of the dried lake. The three families were also looking at the surging water with their mouth opened in dumbfounded manner. Even if they knew that this vast large dried lake used to be a lake… but they never thought that the water would return in such domineering manner, alright?

How the hell did the water return in such a way and caused countless destructions on its wake?

Many people felt their scalp tingle and their heart burst in fear. "AHHHHH!"

"GET AWAY FROM HERE!"

Compared to the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom's side who had already retreated, the soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom were panicked. Some of them ran in the direction where the water would be going, trying to outrun the water. Some others rushed to the front where Long Qian Xing was located. But!

Stab! Stab! Stab!

The soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom raised their weapon and blocked these Shi Long Kingdom's soldiers from successfully retreating. They were simply not given any chance to survive. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Go to the front?

Fei Yang Kingdom's soldiers and the soldiers from the three families were waiting for them. Unless they were confident to beat hundreds or even thousands of soldiers to make their way out, they would never be able to escape. Outrun the water?

Their speed would never allow it to happen in the slightest bit. The water was more than 5 times faster than their speed. Even if they were to run at their fastest speed possible in their lives, it would never outrun the water's speed. Go back?

The hell, the distance between one side of the lake and the other side was several miles away. It would be impossible for them to run there and would instead be swept by the current. So, the soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom despaired.

And there was not much time for them to ponder about it. Within a few breaths of time, the water had reached their side and these people had no other choices but to run in the direction where they thought survival was still possible. Boom! Splash!

The water came and swept everything domineeringly, not leaving any chance for them to survive in the slightest bit. These people could only be drowned and washed away towards the sea in the distance. The lake itself wasn't truly connected to the sea but with the surging current, it was estimated that the lake would be connected to the sea for a period of time. Whether it would last or not was not known, though. Bam!

"Get away!"

The third general despaired when he saw the water surging towards his face. He wanted to get away as far as possible, but he found that he was not fast enough and that no matter what he tried, his chance of survival was extremely low.

At this time, the third general felt despair.

He was one of the few generals whom Long Qian Xing faced whose cause of death was quite… miserable. Long Qian Xing watched the water in front of him sweeping the soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom. Nearly a hundred thousands of soldiers all died under the water current. And some remaining soldiers tried to climb up but were now facing the soldiers from Fei yang Kingdom who would not let them come up. The end result?

It was naturally extremely miserable to the point that the others could only sigh. This is war.

Deaths were inevitable. "General Xing, how did you know that the water will come back?" Ye Shu Ken couldn't help but come closer and asked. "The smoke signal," Long Qian Xing replied simply.

Smoke signal?

The others looked at each other and then silently moved back. They could not understand the smoke signal from Fei Yang Kingdom and it was useless to ask. There was no way Fei Yang Kingdom would be willing to share the news to them either.
