Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 886: The Eerie City

The soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom entered the first city easily as the gate broke down. The citizen ran away here and there, causing chaos. The soldiers were all unable to hold on even though they were fighting bravely on the wall and outside the city, sending arrows and attacking with their lives on the line.     

It was simply not enough.     

As the soldiers flooded in, Nan Luo was watching from the back with excitement. It was so awesome.     

To be able to watch General Long forcefully broke his way into the city like that was really amazing. Even if the gate was blocked by rocks, they still managed to pull them out and then made their way inside.     

When it was evening, the first battle was officially over.     

Old Master Nan was staying at the front while the others followed from the back.     

"Grandfather, do you get River General Kui?" Nan Luo ran over to Old Master Nan when the battle was almost over.     

Because of Old Master Nan's condition, he was unable to fight all the time and spend half of his time to control his soldiers' movement. This made him more like that of an intelligent type of leader rather than the person who fought at the forefront in front of his soldiers.     

"No, he run away." Old Master Nan looked at his grandson and smiled. His eyes then landed on Nan Hua, who was tailing Nan Luo. It was good to see the two of them still as close as ever.     

"Be careful. There are still some soldiers left in the city."     

"Yes, Grandfather."     

Nan Hua was following the others as she entered the city. However, the feelings that the city gave to her was completely different from ordinary city. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at the citizens around.     

"Luo."     

"Yes?"     

"Ask the soldiers to build tent outside the city."     

"Huh?" Nan Luo was confused, but when he saw Nan Hua's gaze, he chose not to say anything. If Nan Hua said that they had to camp outside, then he would just follow her order.     

Not only Nan Hua, even Old Master Nan felt that there was something strange from the city. Even though it was supposed to be an ordinary city, there was something that didn't seem to make sense from the citizen who stayed.     

"Long Ao Ming, I think it's better for the soldiers to camp outside."     

"Alright."     

Long Ao Ming, General Long, agreed. The atmosphere within the city was really strange, making him unable to pinpoint what was wrong.     

"Wait a moment, Father." Long Qian Xing jogged to his father. "I would like for your permission to collect some items from the warehouse."     

Since they had already conquered the city, technically, this place belonged to Fei Yang Kingdom now. But since the leader is General Long, Long Qian Xing would still need his permission if he wanted to use any of the resources within the city.     

"You can take anything you want."     

"Thank you, Father."     

General Long nodded then gave order for his soldiers to build tents for their camp outside the city. Even though it would be nice to be able to stay inside the city, the city just gave him odd feelings.         

General Chi and General Cao followed General Long's order and only left behind a portion of the soldiers to keep watch inside the city.     

And the few who got the task… were those who become the backup.     

"We have to stay inside the city to keep watch for the first half of the night?" Nan Luo wailed when he heard the order.     

Feng Ao Kuai also frowned. He didn't really want to be inside the city at this point of time, but he didn't think that they had any other choice.     

For the first half of the night, the three of them along with two more commanders had to keep watch.     

For the second half of the night, it would be other people.     

"Let's patrol the city."     

"Fine." Nan Luo sighed. He wanted to rest after watching the battle just now, but it didn't seem to be possible. "Oh right, I see Young Commander Long moving some barrels of things out of the warehouse. Did he have the permission to do that?"     

"He had General Long's permission."     

"I see."     

Nan Luo looked in the direction where Long Qian Xing was located. He was still ordering his soldiers to take out those barrels of things. There were also pile of cloths that were piled up not far from him.     

"I don't understand what he's planning to do."     

Nan Hua was also watching from a distance. For some reason, she felt that she knew what Long Qian Xing was actually planning to do even if she didn't have that book as her references.     

He's doing an experiment.     

"Let's go and patrol the city. Xiao Yan, where are you?"     

"Young Master, it's better not to stay too far away from the gate." Xiao Yan frowned. He had heard their conversation before and felt that even if they patrolled the city, it would not erase the fact that the city was dangerous.     

"Don't worry, it should be fine to patrol the area."     

"Don't go too far."     

"I won't."     

Feng Ao Si didn't know what made the others felt so wary about the city. He walked with Nan Luo and several other soldiers near the gate area. There were a lot of people still awake.     

He frowned.     

"Is there no night guard or something?" Feng Ao Si asked in confusion.     

"The rules in Fei Yang Kingdom and other kingdoms are different."     

"Is that so?"     

While Feng Ao Si was confused, Nan Hua could clearly sense the faint movement of the people in the city. Her small body jolted forward as she barged into one of the house.         

Prang!     

Bang! Bang! Peng!     

"Nan!" Nan Luo was stunned and rushed over to help. When he reached the door, he was stunned by the sight that greeted him.
