Clang! Clang! Clang!
As the battle continued, the reinforcement for both sides arrived. Long Xu was nearby and when he saw the flag being raised, he knew that it meant someone had found General Jue.
It was their agreement that whoever encountered General Jue will raise the flag and called for the others to come. It was because fighting against General Jue would be much harder than fighting against other commanders.
Long Xu knew that Long Qian Xing was in the enemy's headquarters.
It was also because of that he hurried towards the unlucky commander who bumped with General Jue in the forest.
But when he arrived, the devastating scene he imagined didn't occur. instead, he saw a youth was fighting against General Jue and seemed to be fighting so nimbly even when against a powerful general like General Jue.
Wounds appeared on both sides but they were all only skin wounds.
"Is he that amazing?" Long Xu was astounded.
This was the first time he ever saw Nan Hua fought head on. He thought that this young and small adjutant was quite amazing from the rumor, but seeing her fight head on with General Jue, he was astonished.
He knew very well how hard it was to fight against General Jue.
And it was precisely because he knew that General Jue is powerful that he was surprised to see Nan Hua able to fight without losing her advantage.
"Adjutant Xu, please help us to retreat!" Nan Luo immediately yelled when he saw Long Xu coming.
"Yes, everyone, intercept the attacks!"
Nan Luo looked in Nan Hua's direction as his fingers clasped into a fist. He wanted to win, but he knew that asking Nan Hua to fight against General Jue was a bit too much.
Even for her, it was not easy to fight against General Jue.
But he had seen her stance and knew that she would never stop unless they retreated. Nan Hua didn't tell him this directly, but her battles had told him everything he needed to know.
She's his twin sister.
He knew her very well and understood that she was there for them.
Without the existence of the soldiers who were behind her and also fought against the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom, Nan Hua would have never fought in such a frontal close combat battles.
Thus, they had to ensure that they managed to retreat in time.
"We'll definitely be safe…" Nan Luo helped to arrange the retreat. As the commander, he had also learned how to lead the soldiers and knew what he should do. No matter how anxious he was, he tried his best to keep his calm and arranged for the soldiers under him to retreat in orderly manner.
Looking at the sky, it was already noon and soon the gong would ring.
They just had to hold on a bit more.
A bit more and it would be over soon.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Battle continued between the two armies. At the same time, Nan Hua saw that Nan Luo and the others were already retreating. The soldiers under General Jue was scattered thanks to Long Xu's arrival who helped to share the burden.
They won their bet.
