Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

The other two groups also came there. Sheng Shan Lang saw the marks on the ground and clicked his tongue. "So they're coming from this direction, huh?"

"Did the villagers said nothing?"

"They only know that the bandits are coming but not entirely sure which direction they came from." Sheng Shan Lang had asked them, but these bandits came when they were busy on the field and so suddenly.

When they had taken everything, it was a mess, so they didn't see for sure which direction these bandits took.

"They're really inattentive." Nan Luo was speechless.

"Yeah." Sheng Shan Lang couldn't really blame them. He had lived in the village and had experienced these bandits attack when he was young back then. At that time, he saw the terror on the villagers' eyes when they saw the bandits.

And these bandits would also run around the village before truly leaving, making them unsure where they were going.

When he was tracking the bandits around his village, he took a long time.

It was because these bandits loved to run around and made a lot of troubles. But it was also because of this habit that he managed to track down their activities and followed them secretly.

Unfortunately, he couldn't always do this trick. There were some people who were smart enough not to be fooled.

"I also found some horse trails on the other direction, but it's circling around and seemed to be made in order to confuse us." Long Qian Xing pointed to the direction where he went not long ago.

"Have you checked everything?"

"I'm not an impulsive person, First Young Commander Feng." Long Qian Xing looked at Feng Ao Si and smiled. Since he said that, it meant he had already checked and determined that the marks were only circling around.

No matter what, he had already stayed on the battlefield for so many years and had knowledge in reconnaissance.

Feng Ao Si nodded dully. "Yes, Young Commander Long."

"In that case, we're going to follow these horse steps?" Nan Luo asked.

"I can't really see anything." Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes.

"…The marks are obviously on the ground."

"I mean, I don't know how to determine where they come from with these faint marks." Feng Ao Si blushed in embarrassment.

Sheng Shan Lang was speechless and looked at the obvious mark on the ground. At this moment, he did feel that there was something strange. "Wait a moment, based on their direction, they might be going a bit deeper into the forest."

If the bandits lived in the middle of thick forest, it would be impossible for them to capture them all easily.

"It'll be hard to bring cavalry there, but infantry should be possible. Are your soldiers trained to fight against bandits?" Sheng Shan Lang turned his head to look at Long Qian Xing.

"They can adapt." Long Qian Xing trained his soldiers using various tactics that he knew, so he believed that they could adapt.

Fighting in the forest was one of the few trainings he had done to them back then. It shouldn't be a problem for them to come here and make some trouble for the bandits.

"They should be fine." Nan Luo also nodded. He and Feng Ao Kuai were busy dealing with the bandits for a period of time in order to hone their skills and gain more experience before they truly went to the frontline.

Well, that was actually one of their few assignments. After all, in order to gain more achievement and some other things, he didn't mind taking some other different assignment.

Rather than staying at the border to watch over these soldiers from other kingdom without knowing whether they would attack or not, Nan Luo prefer this small cases that allowed him to move around.

Feng Ao Si scratched the back of his head and turned to look at Dai.

He was not sure of the soldiers' adaptability, so he would usually ask Dai. After all, he always made some unreasonable request from time to time in order to fight in the way he wanted. But at the same time, he will also consult Dai to make sure that his soldiers could cope up.

What was the point of him being a commander if his soldiers couldn't cope up with him?

That would be utterly useless.

Dai: "…"

He sighed deeply. "The soldiers might not be used to fight in this kind of terrain, but it's not completely impossible."

Feng Ao Si's soldiers were more used to a frontal confrontation in open area thanks to their usual battle practice. Anyway, Dai knew that this matter should be blamed on Feng Ao Si for being such a stubborn person who loved to rely on his muscle.

*sigh*

Sheng Shan Lang thought for a moment. He looked at Long Qian Xing and cupped his fist. "Young Commander Long, is it possible to leave the attack to the bandit to me?"

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. He could guess that Sheng Shan Lang was actually itching for a battle because his task back then was only as a support. And as a hot blooded young man, it was estimated that he himself also wanted to show how capable he is.

It was not that strange considering that they were all also competitor in a sense.

Besides, Long Qian Xing had seen how Sheng Shan Lang had been hating the bandits greatly. For people with his background who had dealt with the bandits head on and faced their unsightly deeds, it was indeed very infuriating.

These people couldn't do anything but fight and could only hurt other people in order to obtain what they wanted.

Sheng Shang Lang had poor opinion of them.

Long Qian Xing himself also disliked bandits greatly, but he didn't have to be the one to take care of them personally.

As long as the result was good, does it matter who did it?

They all have their own roles in the battlefield and it was also the same in this small mission.
