Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 895

Chapter 895: Day 9

Just like Nan Hua expected, the task of fetching water was given to their group and Feng Ao Si's group from time to time.

However, not every single day there would be no casualties.

On the fourth day, one team never returned.

On the sixth day, one team was wounded so badly and only half of them managed to return to the camp.

On the seventh day, two teams were unable to fetch water as they were forced to retreat after facing the overwhelming number of enemies.

Now, it was the ninth day.

They had finally reached the next big city that was located right beside the river. It was also the city that supported Wei Da financially because of the farming, fishing, and many other activities that focused in this place.

At the same time, part of their army had left.

Ever since it was made known that the number of soldiers by the river banks were a lot, General Cao made the decision to leave towards Shi Long Kingdom in order to conquer Wei Da Kingdom's cities along the border. That way, they would have more supremacy and control over the area.

He took Feng Ao Si and Mu Sheng Xi along with him, leaving the rest following General Long.

Feng Ao Kuai was happy that Mu Sheng Xi left as he didn't have to care about that person's cold look towards him anymore. As for his older brother? They usually fought in different area, so it didn't matter to him.

"We're finally here." General Long looked at the city. He had to admit that the reason why he didn't rush was to let the soldiers get used to the terrain. The areas here were different from Fei Yang Kingdom.

It was muddier because there were a lot of rivers.

The soldiers were not used to fight with the terrain like this, so he was taking his time to make sure the soldiers could adapt.

"River General Kui is up there." Old Master Nan clicked his tongue. "That old fox is still thinking that his plan to make us tired successful."

"No, that's not River General Kui." General Long's eyes were better than Old Master Nan. "River General Kui had already left."

"He did? Once an old fox will always be an old fox."

"But even a fox will not be able to escape the fate of death." General Long looked across the riverbanks as his eyes narrowed. This city was located right beside the river that was far narrower compared to other areas.

There was no bridge, though.

"He had destroyed the bridge. Soon, the ships will surely arrive to prevent us from crossing the river."

This area was shallow enough for them to cross by feet as long as they were not worried about being dragged by the current. Thankfully, there were also curve not far at front which slowed down the current considerably in this area.

"Are you planning to capture the city first or do you plan to cross the river first?" Old Master Nan asked.
