Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1857  Battle with the two Heavenly Generals (2)

Clang! Clang! Clang!

No matter how much Shangguan Xiao tried to use the formation, it was still crushed under the large number of army that Heavenly General Bao brought with him. In the end, he could only adjust appropriately to prevent the enemy from breaking into their headquarters and retreated when the gong sounded. But Shangguan Xiao felt that he was more tired than all the battles combined before.

"Commander Shangguan?" General Hong called carefully.

It was unknown since when but Shangguan Xiao was no longer called a young commander. Perhaps, it was also because he was already in his mid twenties and the title young was no longer suitable for him.

In any case, Shangguan Xiao still raised his head. "Yes, General Hong?"

"Would it be better to ask for reinforcement?"

"I already applied it." Shangguan Xiao was calm. From the moment he heard about General Feng's defeat, he requested for reinforcement on their side. But so far, there was no one who cto help them.

There was not even any reply for his request.

He felt a bit frustrated, but he knew that Fei Yang Kingdom currently couldn't direct more soldiers to Shi Long Kingdom because of their situation at the north and west border. Great General Wei was still busy. Great General Long was dealing with Fan Yi Kingdom's border.

The rest of the soldiers were scattered to maintain the order in their new territory and still couldn't be called back.

There was already a lack of soldiers who could be deployed.

"This…"

"Don't lose your heart yet. We haven't lost." Shangguan Xiao took a deep breath. While he had to admit that the situation was not very good for them, but this has never been an easy battle.

Conquering the other kingdom required enough strength and resources.

It was impossible for them to overpower Shi Long Kingdom with the means of number because of the lack of free soldiers on their side. The recruitments were still ongoing and there were many new soldiers pouring out.

But it doesn't mean that Fei Yang Kingdom had overwhelming number of soldiers.

There was a limit to how many they could deploy.

This was the reason why Great General Long refused to start the battle this year and wanted to wait for next year. Because next year, there would be more battles settled and the number of soldiers who could be deployed would increase.

Even if sof them were the new recruits, Great General Long didn't care about that. "Do you have other methods?"

"Yeah, we'll use slow means to chip our way forward." Shangguan Xiao sighed tiredly. They lost today.

But it doesn't mean that they will continue to lose.

At the very least, he still won't give up.

"Ok." General Hong nodded and then looked at his adjutant who bowed solemnly. No matter what, their battle hadn't ended yet.

…

<Not Long distance away, Border between Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom, the east border of Fei Yang Kingdom and northwest border of Shi Long Kingdom, Heavenly General Sang's side>

Clap! Clap!

"You did a great job out there." Heavenly General Sang nodded at Heavenly General Bao who cforward.

Heavenly General Bao raised his head lazily. "Yeah, yeah, Old Man. What do you want?"

The other generals and soldiers had already retreated silently when they saw these two people met with each other. It was not an exaggeration to say that the two of them didn't have good relationship with each other.

Heavenly General Bao was not really an orthodox general and didn't really care about etiquette whatsoever.

On the other hand, Heavenly General Sang was raised in the nobility and also learned everything a scholar had to learn in his entire life aside from his battle on the battlefield.

The two of them formed a contrast with each other and when they met, they would never be able to talk peacefully.

"Don't be in such a hurry to go. We have to cooperate well." Heavenly General Sang chuckled.

"Heh." Heavenly General Bao sneered.

Who would want to cooperate with this old man?

He definitely didn't want to if it was not for the direct order from Emperor Shi Wang to him not long ago. "You still have a lot of soldiers." Heavenly General Sang noticed keenly that Heavenly General Bao had more soldiers than his expectation. The battle with General Feng should have ended in his overwhelming victory.

"The opponent I met is quite weak." Heavenly General Bao shrugged.

The one who cut down the number of his soldiers the most was Si Mo Fan and the few people from Dark Moon Organization. But because it was only once, the effect was not very big.

At the very least, it was still within the acceptable range for Heavenly General Bao. Since there were still many soldiers, he was thinking of taking revenge against Si Mo Fan. But after hearing the traps that were triggered by other group of people who entered Mountain Xia, he chose not to go for now.

With so many traps over there, there was no doubt that there would be more people who would die if they were to enter forcefully.

Even if he had a lot of soldiers, he didn't want to lose them unreasonably by forcing his way in.

Besides, there were still the annoying order from Emperor Shi Wang for him to help Heavenly General Sang. Since that was the case, Heavenly General Bao chose to move here.

"That's pretty good." Heavenly General Sang took out a bamboo scroll. "I received a very interesting piece of news from speople. The sources also quite trustworthy considering their past."

"Huh?" Heavenly General Bao looked at Heavenly General Sang with suspicion as he opened the bamboo scroll. Reading the contents, he arched his eyebrows.

It was truly a pleasant surprise. This information was not easy to get and for Heavenly General Bao, it was making him very interested. "What do you think, Heavenly General Bao?"
