Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543 Weight

Nan Hua didn't reply to Nan Luo.

She was someone who stayed in the shadow most of the time. It was only after she was living as Nan Hua did she start to live a life where she would be watched and put on the limelight almost all the time. Even with her presence erasing skill, it didn't change the fact that there would be a lot of people who wanted a piece of her.

Thus, she learned to act properly. Sometimes, she would be hiding her real self and at other times, she showed a bit of her fangs.

But Nan Luo was someone who stood under the light all his life. He was already dealing with a lot of people who were putting on a fake smile on their faces. Right now, he was also standing at the forefront as a young commander and also the future representative of Nan Family.

It was not a small weight.

"Do you mind listening to me?" Nan Luo walked towards the nearby rock then sat down. He patted the empty space beside him, indicating that Nan Hua should sit down too.

Nan Hua obediently sat down beside Nan Luo.

"Hu…Nan, do you know that there are a lot of people who will not make it tomorrow?" Nan Luo looked at the group of tents in front of him. His men were also among them and he had already given them instruction to rest properly. "And as the commander, I'm the one who will give them the order to move."

The commander, the leader.

He's the one who literally bring these people to their deaths.

Even though those under his command were only 100 people, Nan Luo had to bear with the weight of their lives under him. A careless mistake from him will cost the lives of his people. It was something that he had been thinking a lot.

And tomorrow's battle would be a large battle.

"Tomorrow will be a grand battle, a scale that I have never experienced in my entire life. I don't know whether I can possibly survive this matter or not." Nan Luo smiled bitterly. "Is it amusing for the commander himself to be the one to doubt even before everything happen?"

"No."

The concise and short answer startled Nan Luo. He turned to look at Nan Hua and noticed her clear gaze was staring straight at him.

"The leader is the very first person who had to think advance because his decision will affect a lot of people's life. You can't be careless because there are a lot of people who depends their lives on you." Nan Hua was not someone who liked to speak a lot, but if it was for Nan Luo, she didn't mind at all.

"For you to think about it means that you've been accepting your position. In the future, you will also have to lead a lot of other people. They rely on you and will follow your order even if it meant their death. Because as soldiers, their goal is to protect their family and their kingdom."

Soldiers.

Nan Luo took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Right.

In the core of everything, they were all soldiers. They all had reasons to fight and it was all because they wanted to protect their families and their home. If they lose, they would lose their family members and also their home. They could only become hostage under another kingdom's banner and might not even be able to receive good treatment.
