Chapter 1953  Heavenly General Sang’s Decision

Because in his opinion, Shi Long Kingdom was consumed too much in maintaining this delicate balance of power. If it was not because of this, they would have been much more powerful than the current Fei Yang Kingdom. But that was only a big if. Because even he was not sure what the entire kingdom could achieve in the end even if they did manage to correct the current internal problem. After all, there were still many other factors that contributed to the rise of Fei Yang Kingdom. Some that even Heavenly General Sang was not clear about because he was not from Fei Yang Kingdom. "The battles here will not end anytime soon." General Deng looked at General Dong and then added, "Fei Yang Kingdom will not give up on their ambition so easily, especially since they\'re almost halfway done."

Halfway done?

Heavenly General Sang laughed lightly. "If defeating those two weak kingdoms can be considered to be halfway done, then they did achieve that half goal. Shi Long Kingdom is different from those weaklings who couldn\'t even put up any strength."

General Dong nodded in agreement. "Yes, you\'re right, Heavenly General Sang."

His tone was clearly filled with flattery, which made General Deng shiver a bit. General Deng didn\'t really like hearing that tone and felt that Heavenly General Sang was a bit wrong in this matter.

If Wei Da Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom were really so weak, why didn\'t they make the first step to conquer them back then?

After all, Shi Long Kingdom\'s arrogance and their deeds were already painfully clear to those around them. There was no way that Shi Long Kingdom wouldn\'t want to prove their strength by conquering those two kingdoms if they could. But seeing General Dong continued to flatter Heavenly General Sang, General Deng didn\'t say anything. As a person of Shi Long Kingdom, he himself was also full of arrogance. It was just that life was not so kind to him, beating him black and blue to the point that it was difficult for him to survive. The only option for him was to follow Heavenly General Sang and become his \'bodyguard.\'

His career couldn\'t take any other step forward. And General Deng could only accept it no matter what he actually felt in his heart. Even if this position seemed comfortable, but only he knew what he actually felt in his heart when he couldn\'t really go on his own and had to follow the order of Heavenly General Sang all the time. "We\'re going back to the Capital City," Heavenly General Sang said after receiving enough compliments from General Dong. General Dong was a good martial artist and also quite powerful at that. But this man was not very good at using his brain or leading his soldiers, which made him put his attention more on flattering Heavenly General Sang. For Heavenly General Sang, this General Dong was not really a good general. But he was a good subordinate and bodyguard. At the very least, his days were quite entertaining with General Dong kept on trying to flatter him from time to time. And the flattery would resemble the poems those women often write from time to time. It was funny.

"We\'re going back, Heavenly General Sang?" General Deng repeated in confusion. Aren\'t they supposed to stay here and defeat Fei Yang Kingdom? Why did Heavenly General Sang want to return?

General Dong was also confused as he looked at Heavenly General Dong with a more confused expression. Heavenly General Sang nodded. "There\'s no point for me to stay here any longer. And my old body really can\'t stand staying outside for such a long time."

The first reason was not necessarily true, but he felt rather bored to stay here and play the games with these two incapable generals. Even if they have some abilities, they were all very poor in Heavenly General Sang\'s eyes. In his opinion, it would be better for him to spend his days in the Capital City than dealing with these two people. If they really wanted to prove themselves capable, then they should try their best to win the war without his help. He was absolutely sure that it would be impossible, though. For they were not able to defeat Shangguan Xiao with his help and when he was gone, their achievement might decrease even further. But he didn\'t care too much. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

Shi Long Kingdom was no longer in such an emergency state. From the moment Fei Yang Kingdom under the lead of Shangguan Xian was defeated back then, the biggest threat for them was already gone. As for the skirmish at the south?

If it was not because of that idiot emperor wanting to expand their territory to the south in order to get more resources, which had depleted due to their lavish lifestyle and the grabbing between the nobles, they would not have to take car such a large territory. More than half of their territory to the south was nothing more than wastelands. For Heavenly General Sang, it was useless to try keeping those lands because they didn\'t have any value except to make Shi Long Kingdom looked much bigger. The real forces and valuable lands were all concentrated in the center and the north of Shi Long Kingdom. The rest were not very valuable and could just be discarded and abandoned. The people there?

These were all only small villages that didn\'t have much worth because their power was not very strong. They couldn\'t help much in terms of Shi Long Kingdom\'s overall power. If they had been like the Mountain Tribe that could directly become a proper general and also have such a high combat power, then Heavenly General Sang would not have any opinion about them.
