Feng Ao Kuai arched his eyebrows. “Haven’t you learned about it when you’re attending the academy or stay with Grandfather in the past?”

”It can’t be compared with listening to you directly,” Nan Luo said seriously.

”There are two types of leader and coincidentally, me and my brother belong to the different type.” Feng Ao Kuai walked to the stash of firewood to start making fire. “There are leaders who will stand at the forefront and lead his soldier at the very front. However, there are also leaders who stay at the back and command the people through relaying messages.”

Hearing that, Nan Luo nodded. He understood that Feng Ao Si was the type to stand at the very front and lead his own army. On the other hand, Feng Ao Kuai disliked to stand at the forefront because it made him unable to look at the entire battleground. For him, it was better to stay at the back and moved his soldiers like how he did at chess.

Feng Ao Kuai then turned to look at Nan Luo. “For the first type, normally the strategist will stay at the back if they’re incapable to fight. At that time, if you can destroy the headquarter, you can crush their tactic and force them to give up.

For the second type, they’ll be at the headquarter to relay the order and everything. Once you reach the headquarter, you’ll be eliminating the commander directly.”

Nan Luo could feel his heart boil when he heard what Feng Ao Kuai said. His fingers clenched into a fist as he longed to be able to stand at the battlefield on his own and lead his own soldier.

How good would it be if he could be the one in charge?

”Be patient.” Feng Ao Kuai patted Nan Luo’s shoulder. “For the time being, you’re going to be in my small squad.”

Nan Luo: “…”

”How long?”

”Until you can gain enough merit to be above me.” Feng Ao Kuai then turned to look at Nan Hua, who was standing not far from them. His eyes deepened. “Shine brightly, Luo. That’s the only way we can stand at the shadow.”

Shine?

Nan Luo was stunned for a moment before he came to realization. He lowered his head as his eyes flashed with determination. There was only one reason why Feng Ao Kuai would want him to shine.

That was in order to make sure that all of the attention would fall to him and completely disregarded his twin sister and cousin.

They wanted to move at the shadow.

So he would be the light to cover them up.

”Are you sure?”

”Yes.” Feng Ao Kuai was absolutely sure. He did think of working under others because while he liked to arrange strategy, he didn’t necessarily like to stand at the limelight. Of course, there would be times when it was necessary.

”Sure.” Nan Luo raised his head and grinned. Even if it meant that he had to work extra harder, he didn’t care. As long as he could protect his sister and achieved his dream to become a great general, he didn’t mind even if he had to stand at the very front and faced with so many people.

From the way Nan Hua behaved, he had long known that she was someone who liked to stay within the shadow.

Thus, Nan Luo would do whatever he could to make sure his sister succeeded.

”Good.”

The children didn’t talk anymore as they continued to build the tent. Feng Ao Si and the others only returned when it was a bit late. He was very happy when he saw that the tent and fire was already ready.

”You’re indeed the best at making fire, Kuai.” Feng Ao Si sat before the fire and took a deep breath. After exercising for an entire day, his hand felt a bit sore. However, he was glad that he was no longer bound by so many rules like it did during training.

Feng Ao Kuai passed a look at his older brother. “Do your job well.”

”I’m doing well.”

”When you decide to make a turn in midday, do you realize that you have been nearly trapped?” Feng Ao Kuai looked at his older brother sternly.

Feng Ao Si’s face turned awkward. Well, he didn’t think much at that time because he was chasing after the enemy’s commander. Since that person was located a bit at the side, he just followed….

”It still end well in the end.”

”Your instinct again?”

”YES!”

Feng Ao Kuai looked at his older brother and snorted. There were various types of general and he knew that his idiotic older brother would never be able to become the intelligence type. What a joke.

The best that Feng Ao Si could be was for him to follow his guts and instinct.

It was not that bad… but he would require a proper strategist. Because while sometimes his instinct was correct, his soldiers wouldn’t be able to follow his sudden decision just like that. They would require proper orders before able to follow him.

It was also precisely because of this reason that Feng Ao Kuai didn’t want to be with his older brother’s army. If he was with his older brother, he was absolutely sure that he would become a nanny as the entire job was placed on his shoulder.

”Young Commander Feng, Young Commander Long is looking for you.”

”Ah?” Feng Ao Si was startled then rushed over to meet with Long Qian Xing. Technically, his position was lower than Young Commander Long, so he had no other choice but to comply.

As long as it didn’t violate any war rule, it was fine for a commander to search for another commander that was at lower rank than him.

”Is Young Commander Long above Young Commander Feng?” Nan Luo asked curiously.

Feng Ao Kuai nodded.

Nan Luo was speechless. In his mind, he was determined to reach Long Qian Xing’s rank when he was 14 years old.
