"Get up." The Emperor looked at his son with pleased expression. He felt that this third son of his was the most similar to him, making him more and more satisfied with him. Besides, he had so many sons that he knew that each of them were competing for this seat.
He didn't want to give up the seat yet, but he allowed these children of his to start making their moves.
This way, he could see which one among them were more capable than the other.
He looked at his third son and said lightly, "I hope you didn't disappoint me like what Wei Da Fan did."
Wei Da Fan.
Wei Da Yong's eyes narrowed when he heard that name. Back during the joint war, the Emperor wanted to send a prince out and they all collectively sent Prince Wei Da Fan out because he was technically the weakest among them.
With no support and weak personality, that prince would only end up becoming a cannon fodder.
And when they lost the Joint War against Fei Yang Kingdom, Prince Wei Da Fan was naturally scorned and bullied a lot by the others. The weak prince had no other choice but to lower his head and persisted at the background, hoping that there would be a salvation someday.
"Yes, Father."
After that, they began to discuss the tactic that was about to be used during the battle with many officials gave input. The Emperor was mostly only watching because he didn't quite understand. Anyway, the ministers never hoped that the Emperor would understand considering that he could only get the dragon throne back then because of his support.
At the corner of the meeting hall, one man was sitting with his fingers balled into a fist. He was trembling at the blatant hatred that his father showed to him.
This man was precisely Prince Wei Da Fan.
Even after he had lost the battle, he still had to attend the meetings because the other princes, even those unfavored, were here. Hearing his own father kept on mentioning his shame, Prince Wei Da Fan's body trembled.
He knew that he was weak.
But did his father had to mention it again and again?
He could sense his father's hatred towards him, making him feel rather suffocated. In this glorious palace, he felt that he was truly unwanted.
…
The next day, the soldiers in Fei Yang Kingdom were still high in morale as before. They were looking in the direction of Wei Da Kingdom's soldier as if they wanted to rush over. Their bodies were itching for another battle.
River General Kui watched everything from the top coldly. He looked at his grandson, who also persisted in participating in the battle today. As a hot blooded young man, it would be impossible for him not to be incited to participate in this rigorous battle.
"River General Kui, everything is ready."
"Good." River General Kui looked in the direction of General Long as his eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "We can't lose this battle, understand?"
"Yes!"
Prince Wei Da Yong had also prepared his armor and looked rather majestic as he stood not far from River General Kui. After the long preparation by his men and recruiting people from the capital city, they were now ready.
These people had no training, so River General Kui actually looked down on them. However, he knew that these people could still be used as meat shield. At the very least, if they could hold on until General Gui arrived, they would have higher chance to survive this attack from Fei Yang Kingdom.
Gong!
"Uooooooooooooo!"
The sound of the war drum resounded.
"ONWARD!" General Long shouted from the front. He was still as energetic as yesterday as he led the soldiers rushed forward.
The soldiers all responded wildly, shouting in response.
"Onward!" Feng Ao Si yelled too. He proceeded with shouting wildly and let his soldiers to charge forward. Just like yesterday, he was part of the army who will charge first, so he ran faster.
"Follow First Young Commander Feng!" Dai yelled to the soldiers.
"Uooooooooooo!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Barrage of arrows began to fall upon them. Dai quickly raised the shield in his other hand while yelling, "Raise your shield!"
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The arrows fell on the shield perfectly. However, this also stopped them from advancing further.
Just as Feng Ao Si wanted to charge forward again, he found out that there were another rain of arrows coming towards him.
"Damn it!"
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The arrows hit the shields squarely.
Not far from Feng Ao Si, Nan Luo was also leading the soldiers and this time, he purposely excluded the cavalry. They were all infantry who were raising their shield in the formation while kept on advancing.
"Keep on moving! We're going towards the wall today!" Xiao Yan yelled.
"YES!"
Nan Hua was following beside Nan Luo. This time, they were going towards the wall in order to start trying to breach inside. Even if they failed in the end, they could at least kill more soldiers from Wei Da Kingdom.
Raising her head and peeked out at the rains of arrow, Nan Hua's lips curled up slightly.
'How desperate are they to use these amateurs?'
These arrows barely contained any strength and their direction was everywhere, not targeting them at all. It looked as if the one who gave order and shoot couldn't sync perfectly.
That was why Nan Hua could guess that these people were newcomers.
But why would the strong River General Kui wanted to use newcomers when fighting such an important battle?
"Raise the stairs!"
"UOooooooo!"
Nan Luo's soldiers moved as they dragged the stair they had prepared to climb up. Several other commanders beside them had also placed their stairs and began to climb up. Only some small armies were still lagging behind.
One of them was Feng Ao Si's army.
Feng Ao Si watched as Nan Luo was reaching the wall first, his teeth clenched in annoyance. "MOVE FORWARD!"
