Chapter 895: Day 9

Chapter 895: Day 9Just like Nan Hua expected, the task of fetching water was given to their group and Feng Ao Si's group from time to time.

However, not every single day there would be no casualties.

On the fourth day, one team never returned.

On the sixth day, one team was wounded so badly and only half of them managed to return to the camp.

On the seventh day, two teams were unable to fetch water as they were forced to retreat after facing the overwhelming number of enemies.

Now, it was the ninth day.

They had finally reached the next big city that was located right beside the river. It was also the city that supported Wei Da financially because of the farming, fishing, and many other activities that focused in this place.

At the same time, part of their army had left.

Ever since it was made known that the number of soldiers by the river banks were a lot, General Cao made the decision to leave towards Shi Long Kingdom in order to conquer Wei Da Kingdom's cities along the border. That way, they would have more supremacy and control over the area.

He took Feng Ao Si and Mu Sheng Xi along with him, leaving the rest following General Long.

Feng Ao Kuai was happy that Mu Sheng Xi left as he didn't have to care about that person's cold look towards him anymore. As for his older brother? They usually fought in different area, so it didn't matter to him.

"We're finally here." General Long looked at the city. He had to admit that the reason why he didn't rush was to let the soldiers get used to the terrain. The areas here were different from Fei Yang Kingdom. Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

It was muddier because there were a lot of rivers.

The soldiers were not used to fight with the terrain like this, so he was taking his time to make sure the soldiers could adapt.

"River General Kui is up there." Old Master Nan clicked his tongue. "That old fox is still thinking that his plan to make us tired successful."

"I would like to hear your plan first."

General Long glanced at Old Master Nan. Even though his father was Old Master Nan's good friend, he didn't really understand what these two were thinking most of the time. The difference in generation often made him a bit awkward when he was staying near Old Master Nan.

And he didn't really want to give order for Old Master Nan.

Old Master Nan chuckled. "As the Supreme Commander, you have the highest responsibility. There's no need for you to worry about offending other people because we all know that we have to follow your order."

"Cross the river through other route." General Long turned his head around. "In an unexpected location so that you will be able to cross the river faster than us."

"Faster than you, huh?"

Old Master Nan rubbed his long beard. He liked this plan as it would also give him the space he needed to do whatever he wanted. Granted, as the person who had the title of 'great general,' Old Master Nan was not used to get order from other people anymore.

He was more keen on being the leader of his own soldiers and army.

However, he would not disobey military order and still followed the other as long as it was necessary.

"Can you do it?" General Long asked.

"Yes, my grandchild had found a suitable location to pass. All I need to do is to have a battle with those soldiers who are guarding the area." Old Master Nan chuckled. "If I had refused, would you ask General Chi to step forward?"

General Chi?

General Long scoffed when he heard that name. No matter what, he never liked General Chi and their relationship was lukewarm at best.

Old Master Nan also knew that General Long didn't trust General Chi that much. "He had moved to Fei Yang Kingdom, so you should give him a chance occasionally."

"I don't trust him." General Long glanced at Old Master Nan. "And you know the reason very well."

Old Master Nan was silent.
