Gong!

The war drum sounded and the soldiers began to move.

Splash! Splash!

The water caused their movement to slow down. But at the same time, the water caused the archers\' effectivity to lower even more. They were no longer the amateur like before, but they still couldn\'t hit many of Fei Yang Kingdom\'s soldiers.

These soldiers kept on walking forward until they reached the front and put their ladder in order to climb up.

"Stop them!"

"Kept on moving!"

River General Kui was looking at the \'sea\' in front of him with black face. Seeing these soldiers still moving forward so easily, he wanted to look at the sky and roared at the bitterness.

If this continued, he knew that Fei Yang Kingdom\'s soldiers didn\'t need to do anything and just had to wait for their entire city to be submerged in water. There was no need to fight anymore because they would eventually die.

This made River General Kui so bitter.

"River General Kui?"

"Hold the fort for the time being." River General Kui looked to the back at the people who were living on their roof. These people were unable to stay on the ground and stayed wet all day long except they wanted to get sick. Thus, the only option left for them was for them to stay on the roof.

Some building crumbled due to the water eroding the soil and wall.

The situation in the city is a mess.

River General Kui knew that this was truly a hopeless battle. If he persisted in defending the city, the one who would suffer in the end was the citizen.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing could be heard and River General Kui looked back to the front. He saw several people had climbed up on the wall and began making their way inside. From the way it looked like, these commanders had decided to go all out today.

They will break in today.

"Young Commander Long killed…"

The sudden announcement pulled River General Kui as he frowned. This name was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. He knew that General Long had a son who\'s a young commander and it seemed that… he hadn\'t heard about this young commander for the past few days.

With how hot headed this young man who had made his name on the battlefield was, there was no way he would stay silent for more than a week\'s time without making his move at all.

Waiting for the ninth day?

No, it was more likely that he was the one who staged this damn flood.

"Signal the…"

Bang!

"River General Kui, it\'s bad! Prince Wei Da Fan had opened the gate and allowed the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom to enter the city!"

Prince Wei Da Fan?

River General Kui felt his mind turned blank for a moment when he heard the name. It was then he recalled the useless prince who had been mocked by everyone all this time. He performed so badly in the task given to him many years ago.

And now, he actually opened the door for the enemy?

"What shall we do, River General Kui?" the adjutant was worried and helpless.

River General Kui looked at the soldiers entering the city and lowered his hand. He shook his head. "It\'s our defeat."

There was no point in fighting anymore.

He was tired.

Even though he knew that this will signal the end of Wei Da Kingdom, he was thoroughly convinced that he will lose. Even without Prince Wei Da Fan opening the gate, he also wanted to raise the flag to surrender.

"River General Kui!"

"Raise the white flag! We\'re admitting defeat."

"…Yes!"

The soldiers were crying and felt bitter.

But they couldn\'t do anything and raised the flag.

River General Kui watched General Long approaching from the distance and closed his eyes. After fighting for so many years with countless powerful generals and many heroes over the past few decades, he finally lost so thoroughly.

….

<Not long ago>

Splash! Splash!

As dawn came, Prince We Da Fan was walking on the road. The water had risen to his chest by now and many people lost their home because of this flood. There hasn\'t been any flood in this area for so many years.

The only reason why a flood could happen must have been because of a man\'s design.

Using a hood to cover his face, Prince Wei Da Fan looked at the gate in front of him that also had stone to cover it up. He pursed his lips and slowly sneaked between the rocks inside.

Splash!

Reaching beside the gate, he looked at the large block that sealed the door. It looked battered after being banged so many times by the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom.

Prince Wei Da Fan\'s eyes flickered for a moment before he pushed the block away from the original location. He knew very well that this would make him the traitor of Wei Da Kingdom.

But he was tired.

Being mocked all the time, being treated as trash, being treated as useless and the traitor of the kingdom by his own father…

Everything flashed within Prince Wei Da Fan\'s mind.

At this moment, he just wanted to end everything. Bury this place that contained the most bitter memories and destroy it.

Thunk! Splash!

…

<Yu Jin\'s side>

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The battle around the Capital City had already started to end. The soldiers were putting down their weapon as it was cease fire.

No matter how unwilling they were, they had to do it.

Only on the east side that battle was still fierce.

As more and more soldiers poured into Wei Da Capital City, General Gui\'s face was filled with more and more despair.

He had come here in a hurry because he hoped that his participation could change the ending of the battle. But as it turned out, everything has been set in stone and his involvement couldn\'t change anything.
