Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 889

Chapter 889: Day 2

The night passed by 'quietly.'

Nan Luo thought that he wouldn't be able to sleep at all, but Nan Hua helped him to fall asleep. In the end, he woke up when it was morning and saw the enemies retreated along with Old Master Nan coming out of his tent.

Nan Luo: "…" so Grandfather also sleep.

He thought that his grandfather would be going to the frontline so happily and acted like how a great general would.

*cough*

He thought too much.

"You finally wake up, little rascal." Old Master Nan smiled. "Did you have a good night sleep?"

"Why are you also sleeping, Grandfather? I thought that you're the one who lead the soldiers…"

"No way." Old Master Nan scoffed. "It's called taking turns. When your enemies chose to have a battle day and night, there's no way that you wouldn't do the same. If you decided to go all out all the time, you'll only exhaust yourself."

"Wouldn't it mean that the battle also ends faster?"

"Not necessarily. We don't usually fight at night and only when it's daylight except on special circumstances. If you don't have far greater ability compared to your enemy, you're just going to exhaust the soldier's stamina by going all out even at night.

By taking turns, we can rest and the battle will still continue by the others. I'll naturally take rest since I can't stay awake for that long anymore."

If it was in the past, Old Master Nan wouldn't hesitate to charge and fought three days and three nights without stopping if it means victory. But since he had grown older and had physical limitations, he couldn't do so anymore.

He had to think properly before engaging in battles.

That was why he decided to rest.

"…But I don't see the other generals getting any rest."

Old Master Nan let out dry laugh. He knew very well that those hard headed generals were all fighting at the frontline because they could do it. There was no problem for them to not getting any sleep for now.

They were still young and very energetic. Besides, they wouldn't even think about the matter of resting and sleeping for the time being. All they could do right now was to fight and fight again.

They had the capital to do that.

Anyway… it was just Old Master Nan being a bit older.

However, he would never admit that he was too old to participate in the battlefield. In Old Master Nan's view, he was still as fit as other 30 year old men! At that time, he was at his peak and could battle for three days and three nights without any rest at all.

"You and your soldiers should try to salvage anything possible from the ruins while the others are resting."

"Okay."

Nan Luo glanced at the back. He actually wanted to be more involved in the battle and not being the side character in such a big battle. However, he also knew that his capabilities were not enough for him to be involved in their decision making yet.

He still had a lot to learn.

His position was also a bit low, so he could only help here and there a little bit. For the time being, Nan Luo learned how to be content with what he had already achieved. Anyway, other people might not even be as good as him when they were at his age.
