Soon, they received the order and departed from their training point. Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were included and Nan Hua tagged along as Nan with Nan Luo. Her position might be higher when she was with Yu Jin, the Mountain Queen, but this time, Yu Jin will not participate.

She was tasked to head deeper into Zhang Xu Kingdom and take over more cities from them.

This would also prevent Zhang Xu Kingdom from interfering with their battle against Wei Da Kingdom. After all, there was no way other kingdoms would just stay silent and watch as Fei Yang Kingdom defeated other kingdoms.

“I’m both nervous and excited now.” Nan Luo sighed.

“The leader this time is General Chi. However, he started from the other side and will attack one of the San Cities soon. During that time, our task is to intercept the reinforcement and take over the other two cities.” Feng Ao Kuai rubbed his chin.

“Such an important battle actually falls to our lap?” Nan Luo was in a bit of disbelieve when he thought that he will be one of the important participants in the next battle. Wouldn’t it be better to give it to other more experienced commanders?

No matter what, both Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were only recently promoted to be 2000 men commander.

“It’s called boosting morale.” Feng Ao Kuai chuckled. “And I’m sure that there are a lot of people who are actually expecting the younger generations to rise faster. The death of Chi Song Lian back then had caused the generals to wish that we all could play better role and not just seek death.”

.....

Nan Luo was silent.

Not many people were willing to talk about this matter.

After losing his son, General Chi had been on rampage at the battlefield for a long time. No one was capable of stopping him and it was also one of the reasons why he was selected this time.

They wanted him to channel his anger towards these three cities.

“How about the other young commanders?”

“From those whom we have acquaintance with, Mu Sheng Xi, Young Commander Mu, is still facing Zhang Xu Kingdom in other areas. He also had important position to defend. Shangguan Xiao, Second Young Commander Shangguan, is still fighting against Shi Long Kingdom along with his older brother.

Sheng Shan Lang, Young Commander Sheng, is with General Chi and we might reunite later. My brother, Feng Ao Si, will come later after he had settled the battle in Zhang Xu Kingdom. It’s expected that he will not participate in the first siege but had a role in the later battle.”

There were also other young commanders, but both Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Luo were not familiar with them. Since that was the case, there was no need to mention them at all.

“Anyone I miss?”

“The two siblings from Wei Family?”

“They’re with General Wei.” Feng Ao Kuai shrugged. “First Young Commander Wei is located not far from General Wei while Second Young Commander Wei is working under his command. Not everyone can be allowed to roam freely like what you and I did.”

“True.” Nan Luo nodded.

“I don’t think we know anyone else?”

“I heard that Chi Song Lian’s cousin will start to participate in the battlefield and separate himself from Chi Song Lian’s army.” Nan Luo knew that Chi Song Lian had a cousin who was taken into his family and usually followed Chi Song Lian. However, he was a bit low key and didn’t usually integrate in the chat with others.

The Chi Family all moved to Fei Yang Kingdom after General Chi’s failure except for General Chi’s second son. And this little cousin had lost his parents, so General Chi made him as his adopted son.

It was just… he was really too low key.

The last time Nan Luo saw him was at the academy many years ago before they all stepped into the battlefield.

“General Chi’s adopted son is not in the military. The one in the military is the son of his younger brother.” Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Luo speechlessly. It was fine for him to try gathering information, but please get the information correct.

“Eh? I thought it’s his adopted brother who’s also his cousin that’s in the military.”

“No, it’s his cousin who still have parents. He’s at the same rank as us and around the same age as Older Brother. As for why he didn’t have much presence is naturally because of Chi Family’s awkward position in Fei Yang Kingdom. He’s not as shameless as Chi Song Lian who had such thick skin.”

Nan Luo was speechless.

Whatever then.

“My question is, is he here?”

“… I don’t know.”

“Eh?”

“After Chi Song Lian’s death, his army is split into two. 2000 soldiers followed this Second Young Commander Chi, Chi Tan Qiang. The other half followed the other adjutant who was also 2000 men commander. They’re allowed to be independent but still had to follow General Chi.

We’re not that close to General Chi, so I didn’t have much information about them.” Feng Ao Kuai was not an information database, alright? He only had limited information about other people.

“I thought you’ll know.” Nan Luo chuckled.

Feng Ao Kuai rolled his eyes. “When we finally reunite with General Chi, there’ll be a chance for us to find out.”

“I see.”

“Young Master, Young Commander Long is calling for you,” Xiao Yan approached with the horse.

“Eh, ok.”

The three of them departed together while General Chi was already advancing first. Based on General Chi’s personality and what had happened to him not long ago, they had no doubt that he would charge first.

As for them?

Well, they had to figure out how to adapt and make the strategy around the fact that General Chi would not be around them.

That shouldn’t be that difficult, right?
