Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 539

Chapter 539 Regrouping

More and more people gathered at the High Pass. The meeting between the general and the commanders commenced. Even though the soldiers were already starting to be moved, the meeting of their commanders had only happened afterwards when they were already gathered.

Nan Luo sat at the back, looking at the large number of commanders in front of him. He felt extremely tense for the first time in his life.

"Relax a bit." Feng Ao Kuai noticed that Nan Luo was nervous. "We're just small fries in this battle, so you don't have to be so pressured."

"Even if I'm nothing more than a small fry, I'm still worried if I make a mistake," Nan Luo whispered back. A mistake of a small commander wouldn't affect the battlefield that much. But his mistake would surely cause his chance of promotion took much longer time. It was not something that he could accept easily.

"You'll be fine as long as you conduct yourself just how you have been for the past month or two." Feng Ao Kuai didn't seem to be that worried. He had the confidence that as a mere 100 men commander, he would at least not be placed at difficult position. At that time, as long as he performed well, he was confident that he would be promoted.

Nan Luo stayed silent and watched as the generals were debating at the front. There was really no place for them to even speak up. Everything was decided by those at the very front with their grandfather holding the rein.

It didn't take long before their placement and the plan was decided. Of course, they didn't know the specific detail. That meeting was nothing more than formality for them to be able to participate.

"We're going down the pass to meet the soldiers at the valley below." Feng Ao Kuai's expression was not too good when he saw the arrangement that was made for him. His capabilities were mostly to guard on top of the wall and his specialized skill was archery. If he had to climb down, didn't it mean that he had to find opportunity to fire his shoot at harder trajectory.

"You can use swords," Nan Luo consoled.

Feng Ao Kuai sighed. When he first came to Nan Family Residence, he did spend a long of time practicing how to use sword. However, it didn't mean that he was an expert at that because his skill was still relatively average.

At least, he could protect himself.

After that meeting, the two of them headed to their respective resting place. They had to move to the valley because the pass would be closed and rocks would be piled up to prevent those people from being able to break the door. It was a rather primitive method, but it was quite successful so far.

"Let's go and have some rest."

"Ok."

Hou Liang was following the two of them. Actually, Hou Lin was also located not far from their location, but he would not show his face. After all, he didn't really have any special position aside from being Old Master Nan's guard.

Tomorrow, he would protect them from a distance since the mountains could hide a lot of people.

"Hou Liang, are you going to stay with us all the time?" Nan Luo asked in amusement.

Hou Liang looked at the two of them and sighed. "Xiao Yan and Si Kang will be tasked to protect you two. If you encounter anyone you can't face in your current state, you have to retreat immediately."
