Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1867  Prelude (3)

Shangguan Xiao noticed General Hong was not calm and walked towards the other party. "Is there anything, General Hong?"

"I'm a bit worried about their plan. Their hobby is to suppress us by the sheer number and technology." General Hong looked at Shangguan Xiao helplessly. "But it can be seen from this war that they are not willing to do that, so I'm worried that they have something in their plan."

Technology.

The so called technology that Shangguan Xiao had encountered ranged from the chariots, some throwing machine, and also the tower like thing that could be used to transport soldiers to the top of the building. He had fought those things in the past when dealing with Shi Long Kingdom but the opponent didn't seem to be willing to use it in this battle. Well, there was still the chariots.

But the others were not used.

Shangguan Xiao had once destroyed one of the tower in the past, though. Since this was not a city siege battle in their side, they were not using those things. It might be used in other areas right now.

As for number…

Shi Long Kingdom used to be the biggest kingdom from all the other big kingdoms. Thanks to their massive territory, they also have the largest number of soldiers. With these soldiers, they have the dominance of number.

Many other kingdoms suffered from being suppressed with the number, but every kingdom had their own advantage, so it was not easy for Shi Long Kingdom to defeat all other kingdoms either.

Facing Wei Da Kingdom, Shi Long Kingdom suffer from the unfamiliarity of the terrain and their opponent will never let them adapt.

Facing Fei Yang Kingdom, they also have quite a lot of number plus powerful and talented people who will let Shi Long Kingdom suffered in the battle.

Facing Zhang Xu Kingdom, their tactics were not of much use to fight against that insidious prime minister back then. And so on. Thus, Shi Long Kingdom was thinking of adding their advantage to an even bigger stage by conquering the small cities, villages, or even kingdoms south of their territory. This way, their own territory was expanding rapidly over the past few years.

Their number of soldiers were also increasing as well. But the downside was that these people had their own specific languages and cultures, which was hard to integrate into Shi Long Kingdom. The differences between the soldiers who came from these villages and also those who came from Shi Long Kingdom were not very easy to solve.*

So far, due to the domination of the people from Shi Long Kingdom, they were willing to serve the military and become soldiers under Shi Long Kingdom.

But whether they were willing to do it in the future or not was something to be known later in the future. "I know. Their movements are a bit worrying, but we can only go forward. I'll send some scouts to see the situation on the front." Shangguan Xiao could only say this much.

General Hong nodded in understanding. "Hopefully, nothing bad will happen."

"Yes, hopefully so." Shangguan Xiao looked into the distance. The soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom was making their retreat in orderly manner. It was clear that they were not on the losing end, but they were the one taking the initiative to retreat.

In fact, Shangguan Xiao was actually planning to move back to the city behind them to play a city battle.

After all, the wall can also provide them with some methods of defense.

In the face of the large number of soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom, there were not many things that he could do. Hopefully, it would not end up in their crushing defeat.

"Go to rest."

They all went to rest with various things inside their minds.

…

<Not long distance away, Border between Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom, the east border of Fei Yang Kingdom and northwest border of Shi Long Kingdom. The other side>

General Deng looked at the retreating soldiers and feel a bit confused. He was a general who was stationed to stay beside Heavenly General Sang to protect the other party, but it didn't mean that he had no free will.

Before being selected to be one of the two generals who were staying beside Heavenly General Sang to assist him, he was also quite active on the frontline.

"The preparation is complete, Heavenly General Bao?" Heavenly General Sang asked, his tone was leisure as if he was only asking about the weather.

"Yes." Heavenly General Bao nodded. "The information is very complete, so it's easy to do it."

"It's said that there are inner people who helped to leak the news." Heavenly General Sang smiled when he heard Heavenly General Bao's words. "How could it be possible not to be accurate."

Heavenly General Bao sneered. "The so called loyalty seems to be useless in Fei Yang Kingdom too."

Too.

Because in their own ranks, there were some scruples from time to time due to their increasing number of soldiers. Some of the people who came from these villages were not willing to truly serve Shi Long Kingdom and will find out a way to escape and do their own things.

It was not rare. "Right." Heavenly General Sang was calm. T/his chapter is updat𝓮d by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

"Heavenly General Sang," Heavenly Bao suddenly called, "Can you tell me who give this piece of news?"

Sora's Corner: Chinese's Ethnic

In case you didn't know, Chinese has 55 ethnics aside from Han, who was the majority. These minorities ethnic are mostly located at the borders areas (Based on the size of China many centuries ago, not the current one) before being integrated in various other areas due to wars, conflicts, weather, and many others. The history for each of them can be quite long, so you can search for yourselves if you're interested in their history. Some of these ethnics are recognized by the current government but some are not. You can search for yourself about it.
