"The number of your soldiers have reduced quite significantly from the war," Great General Wei added.
"Indeed." General Chi knew that much. "I wouldn't have much hope to contend for the position as a great general like you and lead 100,000 soldiers. A bit more than 10,000 is already enough."
Great General Wei nodded.
His own soldiers amounted to be more than 100,000 in total on this frontline alone. However, there were still some commanders who were only cooperating with him and previously didn't belong in his army.
It was only after his promotion did he reach such an exaggerating number.
But the soldiers under Prime Minister Lei were also more or less the same number, which was why their clash couldn't finish so far.
There were several battles and the chaotic situation, but they couldn't break this deadlock with each other.
"Rest for now. I'll call you if there's anything else."
"Yes."
General Chi looked into the distance, sighing deeply. He finally returned to this land where he was born but he was no longer here as part of Zhang Xu Kingdom. Instead, he came as part of the conqueror.
What a fate.
Behind him, his nephew, Chi Tan Qiang, watched his uncle. When General Chi came to Fei Yang Kingdom, some of his family members were forced to follow because they were not accepted in Zhang Xu Kingdom anymore.
Chi Tan Qiang's family was among them.
Watching his uncle from the back, Chi Tan Qiang's eyes flashed with a glint.
…
<Not long distance away from them, Long Qian Xing's side>
Long Qian Xing was not in a hurry and watched the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom retreating. He nodded lightly, not surprised with Prime Minister Lei's decision.
They were retreating.
But at the same time, they were preparing themselves for a bigger and more ruthless war at the front.
He had already expected this much when he saw their movements.
"General Xing, the soldiers are well rested."
"We're going to go through circular line and follow from the east area." Long Qian Xing thought for a moment and then added, "Call Princess Jun to come when she's done with her business."
"Yes, General Xing."
While Long Qian Xing prepared his soldiers, Nan Hua walked around until she reached Nan Luo and the other's location.
At this time, Nan Luo was yelling at Feng Ao Kuai.
"Why did you add sugar to the dish? It's too sweet now!"
"I feel that you're lacking in sugar lately, Cousin." Feng Ao Kuai was sipping his own soup. "So I add some sugar for yours."
Nan Luo wanted to cry.
