Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 563 Second Day – East Area (3)

　　"That's so heavy!" the woman adjutant exclaimed as she was pushed to the back.

　　Lin Lu's hand trembled a bit as she took out a bottle and swung her hand. The powder immediately dissipated around her, causing thicker mist. It was all poison and those who were close to her were all trying to keep their distance from her.

　　They couldn't get close at all.

　　Unless they wished to die in the process.

　　Ugh! Blargh!

　　General Shangguan vomited blood as he struggled to keep his body straight. He could feel that his inside was churning so badly. It was as if his entire body was burning from inside out.

　　However, he still raised his blade.

　　Clang!

　　"He's tough," The woman adjutant yelled as she jumped back. Her face was filled with excitement as if she had just seen a toy in front of her that she longed to play with. There was happiness and also anticipation as she continued to attack the person in front of her.

　　Clang! Clang! Clang!

　　Lin Lu watched from the back nervously. Her task was simply to make sure that the poison was affecting the people around them. Besides, with her current immunity, there was no problem at all for her to keep inhaling even a large amount of them.

　　"Don't take too long."

　　"I'm working."

　　Clang! Clang! Clang! Slash!

　　The woman adjutant's eyes lit up when she saw her last attack went in. Her steps grew swifter as she rushed towards General Shangguan and smashed her large axe towards him.

　　Clang!

　　"You might be strong, but it's futile." The woman adjutant grinned.

　　*cough* *cough*

　　General Shangguan looked at the woman. His expression was frim. "Even if I were to fall, you won't be able to take over Fei Yang Kingdom easily!"

　　"Stubborn fool!"

　　"I'm indeed a fool, but I'm not giving up my homeland so easily!" General Shangguan yelled loudly.

　　Swish! Clang! Slash!

　　With the last burst of strength, General Shangguan flung the axe with his sword and a knife appeared on his other hand. He plunged it towards the woman adjutant in front of him, drawing a considerable amount of blood before falling to the ground.

　　He could no longer stand.

　　"Tsk, I was careless." The woman adjutant furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at the mark on her body. She glanced to the back. "Commander Lin, give me the bottle once again."

　　The poison would affect her more when she was wounded because it could interact with the blood. She naturally didn't want to die because of the poison, so she asked for more antidote.

　　"Here."

　　Lin Lu threw the bottle and the woman adjutant took it.

　　While the two of them were interacting so casually, the soldiers outside were all wailing in sadness. They were all trying their best to stand firm, but their heart was bleeding with the fact that General Shangguan had died.

　　"GENERAL SHANGGUAN!"

　　Moving forward while evading the poison mist, the soldiers tried to press on. Some of them were inevitably got poisoned. And when they did, they would grit their teeth and ventured into the poison mist and killed those soldiers there.

　　They could still remember the scene of General Shangguan's last moment.

　　Even until the end, General Shangguan didn't give up. He kept on moving forward and even sacrificed himself.

　　They too…. Had to make sure that they could win.

　　Clang! Clang!

　　Slash!

　　Up on the hill, Shangguan Xiao's eyes reddened slightly but he kept giving order and watched the ongoing of the war before him. His tightly clenched fist started to bleed but Shangguan Xiao couldn't care about it.

　　"Second Young Commander Shangguan, the soldiers are approaching."

　　"Call all other commanders to step forward." Shangguan Xiao swept his gaze across the other commanders behind him. His eyes landed on one person. "Tell Shangguan Yi to step forward."

　　"Shangguan Yi?"

　　The soldiers were stunned. They thought that Shangguan Yi was only sent to the frontline in order to make up for the number. However, Shangguan Xiao actually wanted to use that trash to fight against these soldiers?

　　But since Shangguan Xiao was the leader… they followed his instruction.

　　'Hold on… we have to hold on.'

　　If this area were to fall on the second day, it would be the biggest humiliation ever for Shangguan Family.

　　Besides, Shangguan Xiao still could remember his mother and also other family members. Once the joint army broke in, they would lose everything they had. Because of that, they had to stand firm.

　　"Don't falter! We have to hold on!" Shangguan Xiao yelled and the commanders began to move once more.

　　There was no need to for any reminder.

　　Every single one of them understood.

　　Should they lose this battle, they would lose their home, their family members, and everyone precious to them. There wouldn't be any Fei Yang Kingdom on the map anymore. Thus, they couldn't lose.

　　They couldn't afford to lose.

　　It would mean the complete end for them should they lose.

　　"Charge!"

　　Time passed ever so slowly.

　　Shangguan Xiao was worrying that Prime Minister Lei would be deploying someone else again and the fact that there was no one who could stop Lin Lu was also the truth. It was thanks to the sacrifices of so many soldiers that Lin Lu couldn't move forward because the soldiers who were protecting her died one by one.

　　"This can't continue." Lin Lu furrowed his eyebrows. She felt her heart was bleeding as preparing these soldiers who could protect her within the mist was hard.

　　The woman adjutant also stopped. "I can't protect you all the time if we want to advance."

　　Lin Lu was silent for some time. "Let's retreat for now. It'll be time soon."

　　"Second Young Commander Shangguan, Commander Lin is retreating."

　　"That's good." Shangguan Xiao naturally wished that he could defeat Lin Lu and avenged his father. However, his rationality told him that it was impossible for him to do so now. He had to figure out a method to deal with that poison.

　　Gong!
