Chapter 545 Joint War Commence!

　　"The mountains… naturally it had to be left to Fan Yi Kingdom. That cunning and annoying b*stard is leading the troops there." Qi Kan Tian chuckled. Looking at the name Great General Ji, he was sure that whoever was matched up with this person would be in for torture.

　　And at the same time, the battle might end sooner than expected.

　　Great General Ji was a person who would do anything to make sure that he would win but he would not make a move recklessly. In his eyes, the world was like a chessboard. He was sure that the battles at the mountain would be the quietest.

　　At the same time….

　　Once there was a move, it would be earth shattering.

　　"The middle will be left to us three… I\'m really wondering how I should get along with those barbarians from Shi Long Kingdom."

　　Qi Xue\'s lips twitched. She was sure that the one who would say that word should be Shi Long Kingdom. Thankfully, Qi Xi Kingdom was located slightly to the west while Shi Long Kingdom handled the one near the west.

　　As for why… they might be trying to find a method to break into the mountain beside the High Pass since the frontal battle wouldn\'t be easy.

　　As for Zhang Xu Kingdom?

　　Heh, their location was the most surprising.

　　Qi Kan Tian furled the bamboo scroll and tossed it to the fireplace that Qi Xue had made. He didn\'t care about anything else. For now, he just wanted to have some rest.

　　…

　　The sun started to rise in the horizon.

　　Nan Luo walked out of the tent, looking at the sea of people who were bustling around. Seeing so many people were already up and preparing themselves, he took a deep breath. For a battle at such scale, it would be certain that things wouldn\'t be as simple as it usually was.

　　"Luo, are you ready?" Feng Ao Kuai asked.

　　"More or less. Xiao Yan."

　　"Yes, Young Master?" Xiao Yan was Nan Luo\'s personal manservant. At the same time, he was also the adjutant in his army because Nan Luo needed two people to help him give order at some other times.

　　The other one?

　　That was obviously Nan Hua, but of course Nan Luo would not say it out loud. His men only knew that Nan was in their group.

　　"Where\'s our precise location. Which commander I\'m under this time?" Nan Luo was always assigned under other commanders. After all, his army was rather small in number and would require other people to direct him from a distance. Normally, he would be under his grandfather or Hou Liang directly.

　　However, his grandfather was the grand commander this time. In addition, he was not sure that Hou Liang would have the time to care about a small commander like him. After all, Hou Liang was leading 5000 men under him.

　　(Rank below a general was 5000 men commander because there\'s no specific ranking at this period of time like how it is in the modern world)

　　In addition, he could be called as Great General Nan\'s right hand. If he had wanted it, he could actually become a general long time ago. However, he stayed in his current rank and stayed beside Great General Nan, helping him along the way.

　　Nan Luo and Feng Kuai were both placed under him in the past.

　　An addition of 200 men was not much for him considering that he already had 5000 men under him.

　　"Master, you\'re still under Commander Hou."

　　"Still?" Nan Luo was stunned. "Are there any lower ranked commanders who will watch over me?"

　　Xiao Yan looked at his master and thought about how he should phrase the message. in the end, he decided to just be blunt.

　　"Young Master, Commander Hou is not worried because Nan will be protecting you."

　　Nan Luo was speechless.

　　If only he was standing before Hou Liang and there were not so many people around him, he would have retorted angrily. What Nan Hua protecting him? He wanted to be the one to protect her, alright?

　　If not because his skill was a bit lacking…

　　Of course, Nan Luo would push the thought to the back of his mind. He would not want to readily admit his defeat to Nan Hua. No matter what, he would strive to continue to improve his ability through training.

　　"In that case, Brother Kuai."

　　"I\'ll stay close to you."

　　Feng Ao Kuai looked at the men behind Nan Luo. "And you might need to introduce them to their leader aside from Xiao Yan."

　　"Ah?" Nan Luo looked at the people behind him. They were all looking at Nan Hua with curious expression. Even though they knew that Nan Luo had two adjutants who will help him, they had never met Nan Hua before, so the soldiers were all curious.

　　Nan Hua was also looking in their direction as her gaze turned deep.

　　"Everyone, this is Nan. The other adjutant who will help me." Nan Luo grinned and patted Nan Hua\'s shoulder. "Aside from Xiao Yan, you have to listen to his words."

　　"Yes!"

　　The soldiers all replied in unison.

　　Seeing how obedient they were, Nan Hua silently nodded in approval internally. Her twin brother was not that bad.

　　…

　　A/N: Military ranks

　　I\'m sure that many have been thinking about why I didn\'t use proper military ranks and instead used numbers XD.

　　Well, in short, I was using warring states as references. During that time, there\'s no such thing such as detailed ranks like Major, colonel, or so on. These ranks have only developed much later on. Instead, due to the reform of military ranks of the states, they\'re using the specific number of people under each commander. Though, I\'m not entirely sure if they have made specific ranking for this.

　　Due to this reason, I made the ranking using number. (made it up to 5000 while above it would be general)
