239 Attack on Nanglong Territory
Nanglong family territory
Without Soujin here, the central of the force was weaker than the usual. Nevertheless, the power of Soujin army was not weak, and they should have been able to hold on while facing Kai Kingdom army. The barrages of attacks on the border were big, and they needed to wait for their leader to come back.
However, unexpectedly, the enemy managed to seize hold and pushed Soujin army back.
"The army lost?" Fan Lanying eyes widened. She didn't expect that the army of Kai Kingdom can break through the defense of this territory. It seemed, without Soujin the army had grown weaker.
Fan Dan brow creased. He had experienced by himself the power of Soujin army. From what he had seen, there was no way they could lose so quickly. There must be something going on from the back that makes them succeed.
"How is it possible?"
"Kai Kingdom launched full attack towards this territory. It's unsure how they could deploy all of the force towards this point."
Fan Dan understood. Kai Kingdom had decided to use the whole army to attack this territory. Such decision was really bold and considering that they were bordering the Pan Kingdom and Mountain Kingdom too, did it mean they were not afraid of getting bitten back?
How could they be so sure that the two other kingdoms won't attack them while they were attacking this place? And their timing was really excellent. The time when Soujin was not on the capital, they have started attacking.
The two of them were feeling helpless. It seemed there was nothing they could do to help.
At the same time, Nanglong Souka faced the battle report with dark face. The news of those people attacking the border came as a surprise. How come he didn't notice their preparation beforehand and allowed them to attack this fierce?
This was really a headache. Without Soujin, the power of the soldier wouldn't be brought to the highest level, and their morale might drop because of the loss.
"Father, what is it?" Qin Shie was starting to worry. What made him having that dark face?
Nanglong Souka lifted his head."This place is in danger. The Kai Kingdom attacked us really unexpectedly. It seems they know that Soujin is not here."
"But that's impossible. How come they know about such important things?" Qin Shie brows creased.
Her son was not one to divulge information about him easily. That was what made the enemies confused about what was his plan and where he was staying. With the ability that Soujin had, he could easily slip away unnoticed.
"There is only one answer, there is a spy here."
Nanglong Souka didn't want to believe it himself. How good that spy must be to be able to deceive all of them so easily? Unless that spy was someone whom they trusted, but who could infiltrate that deeply and only act now?
No one wanted to think about it. Nanglong Souka packed up his things and quickly fled from the room. Before Soujin return, they were not going to lose this place. What face he had as a grandfather if he were to lose the place?
Qin Shie exhaled tiredly. As a woman, she couldn't help much. With listless expression, she returned to the living room where Yan's mother, Madam Qin was there.
"Are you okay?" Madam Qin felt that there is something wrong here. The expression on Qin Shie face was really dark and she wouldn't believe if the other party said that there was nothing going on.
Qin Shie forced a smile out."I'm alright Madam Qin. You don't have to worry."
"This is clearly not okay, " Madam Qin insisted.
"The territory is under attack, and they might reach this city, " Qin Shie explained. The location of this city was indeed quite near the border to Kai Kingdom. It would not bea surprise if they could reach here quickly after breaking through the border.
Madam Qin furrowed her brow. Did it mean she would be held as a prisoner again? After enduring more than a decade in that place, she didn't wish to experience the same thing anymore.
Qin Shi sighed."Everything is going to be alright. They would definitely finish the work soon."
"But neither Soujin nor Yan is here."
The two of them were away to the Yuan Kingdom. Although they departed a few days before, it didn't mean they would be able to return so quickly. With the distance that separated both place, it would be a miracle if they could easily return.
Despite Qin Shie knowing that fact, she still smiled. She trusted her son that he would surely return in time, and they were going to be alright. Everything that her son did was always wondrous things even from a long time ago.
"They will be back soon, " Qin Shie answered.
Madam Qin nodded."Of course they are going back. Hopefully, they won't be late."
"They won't."
The news should have reached Soujin and his friends by now. Despite her worry, she could only wait. Exhaling a breath, Qin Shie excused herself from Madam Qin. Madam Qin also didn't have any reason to hold Qin Shie.
The two of them have been friends for a long time, but most of their talk was always about their son. It's already a woman nature to be proud and doting of her children. After returning back to her residence, Madam Qin looked towards the direction of Kai Kingdom with complicated gaze. She soon retracted the gaze and went back to her room. 𝑓𝘳𝚎𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝗻oѵ𝘦𝘭 - 🅽🅽novel
