Yes, this is war.
Did he usually participate in the formal battle that he thought that only men were allowed to take up their weapon and attacked?
In the war, everyone could participate.
Even women could become soldiers and participate in the battle and some young men could participate.
He himself was not really an adult yet because he hadn't come of age, but he had already participated since he was still young.
"But when I'm trying to save him… why did he attack me?" Feng Ao Si asked.
Feng Ao Kuai was silent.
Nan Hua looked at Feng Ao Si and answered, "We're from Fei Yang Kingdom while they're front Wei Da Kingdom."
Not all citizen would be able to accept that they were not within the territory of another kingdom. It also meant that they would have to accept being the 'prisoner of war' and changed their nationality.
Some of them could accept it because they didn't care.
But some others couldn't.
"Because of that?" Feng Ao Si asked and looked at the burning city behind him. The number of citizen who were killed inside that cities were in hundreds or might be thousands.
But it was all their decision to stay behind and destroyed the entire city.
"They didn't want us to make the city as our waypoint. That's why, they chose to destroy the entire city."
"There are still some citizens who are saved." Nan Luo pointed at the back where some people were pulled out. There was a mix of men, women, and children there. He didn't even know how many people had died and how many people had lived because they wanted to destroy the entire city.
Thunk!
The sound of metal clashing could be heard from a distance. Nan Luo turned his head to look at the front of the camp with a frown. "Is that…?"
"There's a battle." Feng Ao Kuai sat on the ground. "We're not going to be able to participate."
"No wonder no generals come here."
The soldiers were attacked from the front by Wei Da kingdom soldiers while the people from the cities were burning down the entire city. It was the same as cutting off their path of retreat while telling others their exact location.
"It's really a cruel plan."
"The plan is a bit unusual." Feng Ao Kuai took out a cloth and bandaged his leg. When he passed by some areas back then, there was a burning wood that bumped to his leg, giving him burnt marks.
It was not severe, but he still had to treat it.
"Why?" Nan Luo didn't understand.
"The plan is too desperate." Feng Ao Kuai narrowed his eyes.
Wei Da Kingdom was still at the beginning of the war, why did they already employ such ridiculously desperate tactics? Normally, there was no way they would want to involve ordinary people to the battle unless it was absolutely necessary.
But River General Kui wanted them to destroy the entire city.
