Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 923: Another Night of Waiting

"You want them to run all the way from the bottom of the mountain to the city?" Nan Hua asked back.         

    

"Don't underestimate my soldiers." Yu Jin grinned. "Running that short distance is nothing but light exercise for them."     

Nan Hua was silent.     

For some reason, she felt that Yu Jin and her cousin Feng Ao Si were extremely similar. The two of them pursued the highest degree of muscles for their soldiers. They would not tolerate any result but the most powerful soldiers.     

It made her wondered whether the two of them would get along or not when they met later.     

Even if they did, probably it would be her older cousin getting beaten up for being so stupid. After all, Yu Jin might have that harsh requirement, but she also knew how to use her brain and would not order her soldiers to charge mindlessly.     

"What do you think will be the best method to attack that city from your opinion? Can you see the structure of the wall from here?"     

"It's not very clear, but I can." Nan Hua stared at Kang City and faintly recalled the cities that she had seen General Long destroyed. Most of the time, General Long looked like he was only using raw forces, but she knew that he had his own reason for using that tactic.     

As a general, how could he be stupid?     

"The soldiers' displacement is a bit heavy to one side." Nan Hua saw their movements and thought out loud. In any case, she couldn't see them that clearly either from this distance as the people looked like a dot instead.     

"Yep." Yu Jin grinned. "Kang City is a transport city between another city that's closer to Fei Yang Kingdom a big city that controlled the smaller cities. The big city is beyond that hill, so it'll be a bit hard to see from here."     

"Mhm."     

"With the war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom heating up, don't you think that they'll also let Kang City work to make sure that they can make use of it well?" Yu Jin grinned. "There won't be that many soldiers who are staying there, so I can use this chance to attack them."     

"How about the envoy from Zhang Xu Kingdom?"     

"Envoy that those men are talking about?" Yu Jin snorted. "I've already asked the others to set all the traps and everything. If they can still survive after all of that, Ye Jian and that fourth… I mean fifth brat is ready to face them."     

Fifth brat?     

Recalling the person whom Nan Hua knocked out on her way to the top of the mountain, Nan Hua nodded. It was good that she was no longer staying there or she might need to clash a bit with that person because she had knocked him for good.     

He might want to have some revenge.     

Not that he was capable enough, though.     

"You're a girl, but why do you want to participate in the war?" Yu Jin asked casually as she turned around to pick some fruits. It was already past the time for lunch since the time they took to climb was quite a lot.     

Nan Hua passed a look at Yu Jin. "You're also a girl, but you have become the leader of the entire Mountain Tribe."     

"True."     

Yu Jin grinned and picked several fruits. She threw one of them to Nan Hua while eating another one. "I want to lead the entire Mountain Tribe to become much more powerful. That way, we'll be able to finally see the world outside that we have dreamed yet dared not to touch."     

"And the deserters?"     

"They're not deserters. Some of them are just unfortunate enough to be trapped by another person. When they first come, they are all very weak, but now they have grown much stronger." Yu Jin grinned. "And with the experience of having being used once, they will not make the same mistake anymore as long as they're willing to learn from their mistake."     

"Anyway, if they're strong willed enough, I'm willing to give them a chance. There are some of them who actually want to go back home, but they also didn't dare to go back because there will be a lot of people who want them dead."         

    

Some of them couldn't live with the shame.     

But majority of them who survived were people who had a lot of enemies and couldn't return to their family in fear that they would bring their enemies to them instead. If they harmed their own families, how could they possibly live?     

"I moved some of their families if we're close enough. But those who come from a distant place could only sneak out from time to time to take a look at them to make sure that they're fine." Yu Jin sighed.     

"And those who couldn't bear with the shame?"     

"Oh, those cowards? Most of them died." Yu Jin snorted. "If they're that weak, they wouldn't be able to survive. Some of them had grown stronger, though, and decided to stay with the Mountain Tribe. I have no reason to reject them, so I let them stayed with me."     

Nan Hua nodded.     

The situation of the Mountain Tribe was never known to outsiders very clearly. Only the leader and those involved would know the detail.     

What Nan Hua herself knew was also very limited.     

"But this war with Zhang Xu Kingdom might not end that well for some people." Yu Jin looked at Zhang Xu Kingdom, her eyes were solemn.     

There were some people who came from Zhang Xu Kingdom in her own tribe. When they had to fight against their own people, it would be hard for them to step forward.     

Nan Hua's mind recalled a few people whom she knew coming from Zhang Xu Kingdom.     

They had decided to switch allegiance for one reason or another.     

When the war breaks out…     

Which side would they actually choose?     

Their motherland?     

Their family?     

Their new place?     

Nan Hua didn't know. All she could do was to wait for them to make the decision when the time come.
