Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 978

Chapter 978: Sound

Blood splattered.

Screams and yell ensued, yet Nan Luo couldn't hear anything. His body moved rapidly to clear the soldiers around him.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

The sword slashed through the armor and the meat as several soldiers of Zhang Xu Kingdom's side fell down. Nan Luo didn't stop there and kept on killing everyone around him.

He saw his soldiers had arrived and the corner of his mouth lifted.

"CHARGE INSIDE!"

"YES!"

Xiao Yan led the soldiers to break into the path that Nan Luo had opened. The small path soon become wider with more and more soldiers broke into the lines.

They moved as fast as possible, killing whoever blocked their way.

As they entered deeper, Nan Luo noticed that their path was so dusty. The dust blocked their vision and seemed as if it was fog. After battling during winter for so long where there was barely any dust, it was a strange phenomenon.

The snow had melted.

So the ground should be still fairly damp, shouldn't it?

How come this area was so sandy?

*Dong*

The faint sound of gong startled Nan Luo. He looked to the front and noticed that the soldiers number grew scarcer. His eyes narrowed as he guessed that this must be a trap that they had prepared for the soldiers who were stationed to attack this area.

"Xiao Yan, Qiu Xian, regroup!"

"Yes!"

Both Xiao Yan and Qiu Xian quickly led the soldiers under them towards Nan Luo's voice. They couldn't see clearly after they had started the fierce battle, so they had to rely on their other senses.

*Dong*

*Dong*

Nan Luo could faintly hear the sound of the gong from the other sides. He frowned and recalled that Nan Hua said to him before that when one's senses were blocked, they had to rely on the other senses.

And his grandfather had also reminded him that they had to remember that if one of their senses couldn't be trusted, they shouldn't listen. War is about battle of deception and tricks. There was no way the opponent wouldn't try whatever tricks they have under their sleeve to make sure that they could win the battle.

And both Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom were located more to the south. The winter snow could barely cover the ground, so when it melt, it would quickly disappear. This also allowed the enemy to set up such a trap when they were not prepared.

The changes of terrain would definitely catch anyone off guard.

'The sound… they're using it to mark our position.'

*Dong*

*Dong*

Nan Luo saw Xiao Yan and Qiu Xian had arrived with the soldiers. He smiled faintly and waved his hand. "Follow my lead!"

"YES!"

If he couldn't rely on his eyes and his ears because the sound made by these soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom would mislead him, he will kill these soldiers who made the noises first, then.

Slash!

*Dong*

*Dong*

Following the sound, Nan Luo killed those who made the sound along with the other soldiers he met midway. He could see that the fog was somewhat thinner and then looked towards the ground.

He was looking at his own shadow.
