Clang! Clang! Clang!
As the battle continued, the reinforcement for both sides arrived. Long Xu was nearby and when he saw the flag being raised, he knew that it meant someone had found General Jue.
It was their agreement that whoever encountered General Jue will raise the flag and called for the others to come. It was because fighting against General Jue would be much harder than fighting against other commanders.
Long Xu knew that Long Qian Xing was in the enemy's headquarters.
It was also because of that he hurried towards the unlucky commander who bumped with General Jue in the forest.
But when he arrived, the devastating scene he imagined didn't occur. instead, he saw a youth was fighting against General Jue and seemed to be fighting so nimbly even when against a powerful general like General Jue.
Wounds appeared on both sides but they were all only skin wounds.
"Is he that amazing?" Long Xu was astounded.
This was the first time he ever saw Nan Hua fought head on. He thought that this young and small adjutant was quite amazing from the rumor, but seeing her fight head on with General Jue, he was astonished.
He knew very well how hard it was to fight against General Jue.
And it was precisely because he knew that General Jue is powerful that he was surprised to see Nan Hua able to fight without losing her advantage.
"Adjutant Xu, please help us to retreat!" Nan Luo immediately yelled when he saw Long Xu coming.
"Yes, everyone, intercept the attacks!"
Nan Luo looked in Nan Hua's direction as his fingers clasped into a fist. He wanted to win, but he knew that asking Nan Hua to fight against General Jue was a bit too much.
Even for her, it was not easy to fight against General Jue.
But he had seen her stance and knew that she would never stop unless they retreated. Nan Hua didn't tell him this directly, but her battles had told him everything he needed to know.
She's his twin sister.
He knew her very well and understood that she was there for them.
Without the existence of the soldiers who were behind her and also fought against the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom, Nan Hua would have never fought in such a frontal close combat battles.
Thus, they had to ensure that they managed to retreat in time.
"We'll definitely be safe…" Nan Luo helped to arrange the retreat. As the commander, he had also learned how to lead the soldiers and knew what he should do. No matter how anxious he was, he tried his best to keep his calm and arranged for the soldiers under him to retreat in orderly manner.
Looking at the sky, it was already noon and soon the gong would ring.
They just had to hold on a bit more.
A bit more and it would be over soon.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Battle continued between the two armies. At the same time, Nan Hua saw that Nan Luo and the others were already retreating. The soldiers under General Jue was scattered thanks to Long Xu's arrival who helped to share the burden.
They won their bet.
The reinforcement from their side arrived and the burden on Nan Luo's soldiers that was desperate to fight against the overwhelming number of soldiers under General Jue from Zhang Xu Kingdom.
Now that they were here, Nan Hua no longer had to fight so hard against General Jue.
It was enough.
There was a faint sense of relief and satisfaction within Nan Hua's heart when she noticed that they were going to be fine in this battle.
'In that case….'
Nan Hua looked at General Jue in front of her and several knives appeared on her left hand.
Swish! Swish! Clang! Jleb!
These knives where thrown towards the unsuspecting General Jue. He raised his axe to intercept them before they could hit him. Despite his best effort, one of them still hit his shoulder. He groaned and looked at the culprit who had run away.
"Damn it!" General Jue gnashed his teeth in anger. "Chase after them!"
"General Jue, the soldiers are divided into two!"
"Those who still could move chase after those damn people!" General Jue yelled while holding his shoulder. He pulled the knife and pressed his wound in annoyance. It was not deep, but he wouldn't be able to fight properly tomorrow.
It seemed that these annoying brats still caught him off guard in the end.
No wonder that he kept on feeling that the brat was dangerous, yet the battle didn't seem to have that much advantage aside from being faster than him.
That brat could actually use hidden weapon.
But now that he knew this, it would not be so easy to catch him off guard next time.
Of course, that was if there was any next time.
'Huh?'
Sensing the faint weakness from his body, General Jue then guessed that the knife was poisonous. He hurriedly took out a bottle from his pocket and drank the content.
In Zhang Xu Kingdom, there were various medicines and for ordinary poison, they could use the all purpose antidotes to suppress it. Later on, they would have the doctor checked on their body more thoroughly.
However, General Jue was pissed off.
'Poison should have been Zhang Xu Kingdom's specialty. How come that puny brat dared to challenge us in this matter?'
General Jue snorted in anger.
He felt that these brats were getting more and more outrageous. The younger generation from Fei Yang Kingdom didn't only not know how to respect the older generation, they were also trying to challenge them in the areas they were best at.
It would be a miracle if he was not pissed off.
"Have you got them yet?" General Jue roared in anger.
The soldiers were all busy fighting and felt sweats on their back. It was not like they didn't want to chase after Nan Luo and Nan Hua, but they couldn't.
They were too fast…
