Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 2020

Chapter 2020 Retreat

The night passed by quietly.

The two armies each had their own thoughts for the battle and neither side was willing to give up. They had sacrificed a lot for this battle and they have their own reason why they didn't want to give up. Giving up halfway is impossible!

It was not like the difference between the two armies were so big. And because the difference was not big, anything could happen. What they could do was to fight their best to achieve the victory. Clang! Clang! Clang!

In the morning, the two armies clashed once again, but this time, Long Qian Xing controlled the army to slowly retreat.

The three families were retreating earlier than him, moving past the large valley and headed back to their own territory. Even if there were some apprehension, but they didn't dare to say anything. Lei Lu Yao, the former General Lei, was looking at the soldiers in front of him and looked rather apprehensive. "Are you doubting your decision to retreat, General Lei?" Ye Shu Ken suddenly asked. The two of them were riding their horse side by side. From the way it looked like, Lei Lu Yao could only wait for the demise of the men under him. For a man who only cared about the well being of his village, Lei Lu Yao was under a lot of pressure. Glancing at Ye Shu Ken, Lei Lu Yao shook his head. "No, I'm not."

From the very beginning, Lei Lu Yao has always been a person who cared the most about his own life and his people. The main reason why he agreed to Ye Shu Ken's proposal back then was because Ye Shu Ken gave him a completely different path. A path where he didn't have to become the slave of Shi Long Kingdom and worked so hard for them all the time while they might not even keep their words. It was not an easy decision. Back then, Lei Lu Yao thought hard several times, thinking about his life and so on. But in the end, he chose to take this bet. Because he knew very well that if he didn't do it, when their side pushed towards Shi Long Kingdom's territory, they would ravage his village and also to plunder the resources there. It meant that when he still choose Shi Long Kingdom, his people would have been killed first. Lei Lu Yao knew it very well. And since he had made his decision…

"This is the bet I took and if I fail, it just meant that I'm not fated for this path," Lei Lu Yao said slowly. "The Heaven didn't favor me and why should I blame you for that?"

Ye Shu Ken's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't expect that Lei Lu Yao would think that way and laughed out loud. "I'm sure that you will become a big person in the future with such a way of thinking, Brother Lei."
