Chapter 1866 Prelude (2)

General Wu saw General Feng's action and snorted. "This general is getting more and more cowardly."

"That's because you're much better than him, General Wu." The soldiers were ready to flatter General Wu.

General Wu laughed and felt good when he heard it. But he also knew that these were nothing more than flattery words. The strength of his and the strength of General Feng, he was very clear about their differences.

Without Heavenly General Bao's action before, there was no way he could still be standing here at this moment.

But he will never say it.

Tep.

General Feng looked at the departing General Wu and took a deep breath. If not because his soldiers were losing in terms of number against General Wu, how could he be willing to keep on adopting the defensive strategy?

In addition, he was actually also feeling very tired. He wanted to retire and return home. But he knew that before this war was declared over, he still had to guard the border.

So until the time, he will stay here.

When the time come, he will go back and retire properly.

"General Feng!"

"I know. Rest well, tomorrow's battle is not going to be easy."

"Yes, General Feng!"

General Feng looked into the distance. He was a bit worried for Shangguan Xian's situation, but hopefully that young man will be fine. The battle against Heavenly General Bao wouldn't be easy.

...

<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.>

"Yes, Commander Shangguan."

The soldiers didn't understand, but Shangguan Xiao was the one who had been making the plans in the battle for a long time. He naturally understood many things that many other people didn't understand. Clang! Clang! Clang!

The battle continued and ended in the evening.

Shangguan Xian also noticed that the opponent was retreating. It surprised him a bit because he felt that the battle was a bit difficult lately.

But Shi Long Kingdom was retreating instead?

Shouldn't they try their best to make sure that they will not enter deep into Shi Long Kingdom's territory and threaten the opponent?

But despite his confusion, Shangguan Xian returned to their headquarters to rest. "Brother," Shangguan Xiao called out.

"Yes, Xiao?" Shangguan Xian looked at his younger brother calmly.

"There might be traps prepared by Heavenly General Sang." Shangguan Xiao reminded. Since the opponent chose to retreat, they might have prepared something along the way. Whatever it is, Shangguan Xiao didn't have any good feelings.

Shangguan Xian nodded. "I know, but we still have to advance."

If they didn't move, they would only stay here forever. Their goal of conquering Shi Long Kingdom could be said to be thrown to the sea and ended in failure. For Shangguan Xian, who wanted to become like his grandfather and become a great general, this was unacceptable. Shangguan Xiao looked at his older brother and nodded. "Alright, I'll cover your back as much as possible."

From high confidence to hesitation and frustration, it could be said that the campaign was not as easy as Shangguan Xian expected. But since he had made the decision to lead the soldiers to go towards Shi Long Kingdom, he will follow his words.

No matter what happened in the future, he will be ready.

"Get some rest. Tomorrow's journey would not be easy."

"Yes!"

The soldiers replied.

At the side, General Hong was also looking into the distance. He used to be an adjutant who followed his general. Now that he had become a true general, there were more things that he had to pay attention to. After fighting against Shi Long Kingdom for a long time, he had some understanding of them. And it was because of this that he had some worries.
