Nan Hua looked at her twin brother, who had laid on the bed and closed his eyes. He can sleep easily because that was how they were all trained. In order to ensure that he will be on his best condition, they learned how to sleep within seconds.
"Sleep tight."
Pulling the blanket to cover Nan Luo properly, Nan Hua looked at her twin brother once more before heading to her bed. She was staying in the tent right behind Nan Luo's tent, which was extremely close. If anything were to happen to either one of them, the other will definitely know.

<Wei Da Kingdom's Capital City, the Palace>
Bang!
The soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom was calm, but it couldn't be said to be the same on the opposite side. The Emperor was looking at the continuous battle reports that were handed on his desk and felt despair from the bottom of his heart.
"Defend! Defend no matter what!" The Emperor of Wei Da Kingdom roared angrily.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The officials were all also feeling desperate. All they could hope was that their majestic wall that protected their capital city will be able to protect them from the attacks launched by Fei Yang Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom camped in nearby area. Do you wish to launch a sneak attack at night?" one of the officials asked carefully.
"No! We're not opening the gate!" The Emperor of Wei Da roared angrily.
The gate was completely sealed since a few days ago with big rocks that would be hard to move. This was the protection that they believed would be able to protect their gate and also the Capital City.
No one wanted to die.
"River General Kui, you have the full control of the soldiers! Stop them at all cost!" The Emperor roared.
River General Kui cupped his fist. His lowered eyes were filled with the blazing fire of revenge. It has been a while since he could clash directly with those from Fei Yang Kingdom.
This time, he will repay all the grievances he had suffered before several thousand's fold.
The Emperor gave several more orders to the other officials who were present at the Capital City. He was feeling desperate and even raised some people to the rank of General just in order to face Fei Yang Kingdom.
But these people were not exactly qualified to be a general.
In the end, only River General Kui was the true leader in this capital city.
"The meeting is over."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The officials walked out of the palace's hall and looked outside bitterly. This was one of the rare times when they would not feel tired at all after they had to stay holed in the meeting room until night time.
Even now, they didn't think that they could rest easily.
River General Kui didn't pay attention to these officials and instead walked back to his home. After he had arrived, the first thing he did was to find his son, who had been waiting for him.
Young Commander Kui saw his grandfather and immediately bowed and cupped his fist, "Grandfather."
"It's good that you're safe." River General Kui suppressed his feeling and nodded at Young Commander Kui. His other children and grandchildren were not accomplished as Strategist Kui and Young Commander Kui.
In fact, some of them were even poorer and had already died at the battlefield. Towards those useless children, River General Kui didn't care that much.
Now that he saw one of his most promising descendant was still alive, he felt a bit relieved.
