Chapter 538 Generals from Various Kingdoms Are Approaching
General Long, Long Ao Ming, took another look at the map before him as he furrowed his eyebrows. There was a faint glint inside that was concealed as quickly as it appeared. He knew very well what it meant for him to be placed in that position.
”Where are you staying, Great General Nan. Here, in this fortress?”
”The middle valley, beside yours.”
General Long was silent for a moment. “Alone?”
”I’m planning on putting General Chi with you along with some commanders. But of course, that would need to wait for him to come first.”
”Alright.”
This arrangement was not that bad. Even though General Long didn’t necessarily like General Chi, he also knew that the valley was too big for only his soldiers to cover. General Chi would be perfect to help him.
”The one who stayed in this fortress…”
”General Feng.”
”That wimp?” General Long furrowed his eyebrows.
Old Master Nan didn’t know what to say when he heard that. The bad relationship between General Feng and General Long had started ever since they were very young. In General Long’s opinion, General Feng was a coward and also a weakling. In General Feng’s opinion, General Long was too reckless and cocky.
The two of them used to compete a lot and General Feng always lost. Though, their relationship in private was not that bad, they would still dissed each other from time to time.
”He had more experience in defense from top of the city. Also, I will assign some commanders to help him. If he ever be in dire situation, General Mu will retreat from the mountain and rush over here.” Old Master Nan had given some calculation.
”Do you know who we’re going to face?” Long Ao Ming looked at Old mater Nan coldly. “Prime Minister Lei from Zhang Xu Kingdom is the leader.”
”I know.”
”Such tricks wouldn’t amount to anything in front of him.”
Old Master Nan nodded. In terms of strategy and brain, Prime Minister Lei was a very cunning person. The only reason why the border with Zhang Xu Kingdom hadn’t fell up until now was because Fei Yang Kingdom had someone as equally treacherous as him… which was General Wei.
He was the most suitable person to face Prime Minister Lei.
”Prime Minister Lei is not the only one who’s going to prove to be a headache. Great General Ji is coming and he’s separating towards the mountain.” Old Master Nan also wanted to put General Wei in wherever Prime Minister Lei was.
But with Great General Ji in equation, he pushed this thought back.
Great General Ji from Fan Yi Kingdom, the kingdom that was located at the very north, was someone who could even push Prime Minister to acknowledge his incompetence. If not because Fan Yi Kingdom was not too capable, Zhang Xu Kingdom and Qi Xi Kingdom might have long been gobbled up by this terrifying great general to be part of Fan Yi Kingdom.
Rumors said that he even had a successor who was currently learning under him and had terrifying talent.
And for this battle, Great General Ji was one of the participant who came.
”He’s here?” General Long’s eyes gleamed. He had long wanted to see just how capable that Great General JI was.
It was perfect.
Putting the two most treacherous intelligent type general to face against each other.
”How do you know he’s going there?” General Long passed a look at Old Master Nan then shook his head. “Forget it. That organization of yours must have grown once more.”
Old Master Nan gave off a fake smile but didn’t explain.
Because Old Master Long and Old Mater Nan were good old friends, the two of them naturally knew that each other had their private organization. Their organization was not big because they couldn’t make it public and their job was to gather information and to finish some deeds that couldn’t see the light.
In other words: illegal matters.
General Long, Long Ao Ming, also had his own organization. But ever since his son was growing capable, he had handed half of the management to his son. It even amazed him how his son managed to expand it and manage it better than him.
He had to admit that his management ability might not be comparable to his teenage son.
However, he didn’t want his son to be complacent, so he had been limiting the pace in Long Qian Xing’s promotion. Thus, the young man was still only a 3000 men commander and hadn’t been promoted again.
”There are a lot of generals from Shi Long Kingdom.” Long Ao Ming was silent for a moment. “Leave them for me.”
”Got it.”
Amongst the six kingdoms, Shi Long Kingdom was undoubtedly the biggest and also had the highest number of soldiers. They also had significantly more generals compared to other kingdoms.
Because of this, Fei Yang Kingdom specifically assigned Great General Shangguan and also General Shangguan to cover up the border. It could be said that the two sides had long been enemies and had been keeping each other in check at the border.
General Long had been tired of facing those tricky Zhang Xu Kingdom and wanted to test his blade with those from the large and conceited Shi Long Kingdom. This battle gave him perfect chance.
Old Master Nan looked at Long Ao Ming and silently sighed to himself.
’Old pal, how did you raise such bloodthirsty brat?’
But considering the system in Long Family, Old Master Nan didn’t dwell on the matter for long. He knew very well that Long Family’s education was slightly different in which they would really be very harsh to their family members.
”General, report! There are refugees from Wind City rushing towards the pass!”
”Open the gate and let them past! Check their identity first and make sure no weapons are there.”
”Yes, General!”
General Long snorted and then walked away.
