240 Defense
Nanglong Souka practically ordered the soldier to completely focus on the defense. The numbers of soldiers from Kai Kingdom who came to the border were insane, and he didn't feel that he could hold on with the overwhelming number of enemy soldier out there.
"That Kai Kingdom! Do they truly bet their all?"
Kai Kingdom indeed has a grudge with Ming Kingdom especially since two of their prince died in their hand. They had lost another one at the fight with Mountain Kingdom, but it didn't mean that they would chase after Mountain Kingdom straight away. They chose to attack Ming Kingdom first.
The fight at the border was a full win for them. Now that their confidence was boosted, coupled with the fact that they have received reinforcement, they were eager to do their revenge battle towards Ming Kingdom. Under the lead of General Wei, they launched full attack.
"Hold the line!"
Nanglong Souka knew some strategy, but with the way things were going on, they were going to suffer a lot of losses now. He felt his head hurt with the thought of getting away from this situation. Who could possibly leak the information?
...
Kai Kingdom side
General Wei didn't personally join the battle. He was waiting for Soujin to appear and challenged him again. A battle without that brat swinging his sword and challenging him felt really dull and he didn't have any interest in it.
Ordering his soldier to do this and that, he waited on the back patiently. The fight has been going smoothly, and he didn't feel any need to join in personally. Of course, the soldiers were all anticipating for the time when he could join in the battle personally and helped them to reach victory.
"You seem bored, General Wei, " a young man said calmly.
General Wei gave a sidelong glance."What is it, Prince Mou?"
Prince Mou was the name of the first prince of Kai Kingdom. He was the crown prince and also the most powerful out of all the princes in Kai Kingdom. As the crown prince, he held the highest authority after his father, but he was a really careful person and would not tolerate any mistake.
"End this quickly before General Soujin return."
"I have given the best order."
The two of them had their gaze clashed. The two of them didn't seem willing to back down. The one in charge for the battle was General Wei and Prince Mou was just helping. But that prince didn't like to stay behind and chose to interfere like this.
From the side, the fifth prince just continued looking towards the battle with disinterest. The battle of taking over the wall was boring since the other party was just defending. With him only wanted to fight opponent who fight back, fifth prince could guess how General Wei must be feeling.
The two of them hadn't retracted their gaze for a long time. The soldiers around them didn't dare to interrupt any of them. If they were to incur the wrath of any of them, they could say goodbye to their neck. Only a fool would do that.
Fifth prince sighed."You should stop. We are still in the middle of war."
It was then the two of them shifted their gaze. Prince Mou felt extremely angry over the event that has just passed. How come the great general no longer wanted to hear his order? Had the old fool begun to forget his real identity?
General Wei knew that the other party must be feeling displeased over his decision, but he didn't want to go over there to just slaughter the soldier. He didn't feel that it was worth it. Besides, he knew that there was someone who will stop him the moment he set out there.
Looking towards the soldiers, he knew that hidden among the masses was someone extraordinary. Aside from that, with his build, it would be difficult to reach the top of the wall. Since he already knew that, he didn't want to embarrass himself by climbing there.
'The Crown Prince is really immature'
General Wei didn't know what the emperor was thinking the moment he picked Prince Mou as the crown prince. At that time, many were showing displeasure towards the emperor, but he paid it no heed and chose the boy as the crown prince. 𝐟𝘳𝘦𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯o𝐯e𝒍 - 🅽🅽novel
The different of age between each prince was not far, the first three princes were born in the same year, only different in months. The other two princes were born in the next year. The third year, he got another two princes. All in all, their competition should have been hard, but on the surface, the seven of them looked like in peace. The emperor was truly lucky to have seven sons without any daughter.
That was until two of the youngest died in the battle against Ming Kingdom. Previously, no matter how much they were on the losing side, they would never lose any important figure. With that battle, the fight for the throne grew messier, and the emperor appointed the first prince as the crown prince.
General Wei sighed. The biggest competitor, for him, was no longer here, so he could start flaunting his power and began his order. This was what makes General Wei felt pissed off. The crown prince was not the emperor yet, but he had already used his power recklessly. When he became the emperor, what would happen to Kai Kingdom?
On the other hand, he still felt that the crown prince was kind of amazing because this battle was his idea and they managed to succeed until now.
Prince Mou walked with confidence step."Tell that person to open the gate. The spy is going to show the way in, but not accompanying him."
"Yes Your Highness."
Prince Mou eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he muttered."Ming Kingdom, I will drag you down."
