Chapter 900: Crossing the River (2)"He did it."


    Old Master Nan smiled as he watched General Chi destroying the soldiers at the other side of the river. He knew very well that General Chi was someone who had been working hard because he was alwayscking in strength.


    One of the biggest reason for his loss that caused him to be kicked out of Zhang Xu Kingdom was because hecked in strength.


    General Chi couldn''t withstand that humiliation.


    He had been working so hard, so Old Master Nan knew that someone like him would be suitable to be given this hard task.


    "Hou Liang! You''ll be staying here. Call all themanders back and send them to cross the river to aid General Chi!"


    "Yes, Great General Nan!"


    With that, the soldiers began to change their formation.


    Nan Luo was originally nning on continuing with the battles. He was still busy killing the enemies in front of him as much as he wanted to. There was no way he would like to retreat when things were this heated.


    But the order snapped him back.


    "Huh? Crossing the river?"


    Nan Luo was surprised that he would be amongst the first group to cross the river. He thought that it would take some time before it was his turn since there were many othermanders.


    "Great General Nan ordered for all of us to cross the river right away," Feng Ao Kuai replied.


    "River?"


    Nan Luo looked at the river as a lot of soldiers orderly crossed under the lead of their leader. He noticed how some people were almost drowned because they were short and somehow recalled that he hadn''t grown fully.


    He turned to look at Feng Ao Kuai. "I wouldn''t be drowned, right?"


    Feng Ao Kuai was speechless.


    "Follow your soldiers. Or ask Xiao Yan for help."


    Xiao Yan is older than Nan Luo and naturally much taller. In fact, both Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Luo could be said to be rather short because their growth spurt hadn''t started yet. Being teenager, it was only normal that their height was on the short end.


    (A/N: Nan Luo is 14 years old while Feng Ao Kuai is 15 years old)


    "You can swim."


    Nan Luo turned to look at Nan Hua speechlessly. Would he end up being trampled by the other soldiers when they crossed the river.


    "Oh well, let''s just do it."


    Ssh!


    As they entered the river, Nan Luo didn''t think it was hard at the beginning. After all, those near the river banks were shallowerpared the middle. But when they were in the middle, he had to jump a few times in order to be able to breath because the water was above his height.


    It was so annoying.


    Thankfully, Xiao Yan helped him to be able to breath.


    Nan Hua didn''t really have it easy either as she had to make sure that she wouldn''t drown. All that she could do was to drag a rock around to increase her weight while she walked with the soldiers.


    Naturally, she had to jump to breath from time to time.


    Her height and Nan Luo was more or less the same.


    Ssh!


    "Young Master, the water is not so high by now," Xiao Yan consoled.


    *Pant* *Pant*


    "I''m… not crossing this river again." Nan Luo''s face was dark. He couldn''t walk too fast because the current was strong and the soldiers were following the same pace to make sure that not a single one of them was left behind.


    But the result was also quite tragic for him because he had to make sure that he could breathe.


    "Let''s go a bit faster now."


    As they approached the river banks, Nan Luo repeatedly swore inside his mind that he would never cross the river through this way again before he fully grew up. If he had to submerge in water all the time, he was sure that he would end up drowning.


    *cough* *cough*


    "Are you alright, Luo?" Feng Ao Kuai was also very tired. Behind him, Si Kang helped him to climb up as his physical strength was drained considerably after fighting that water.


    It was not really a good experience.


    They were indeed better at fighting on thend rather than on the water.


    At the very least, they wouldn''t need to exhaust their strength like this.


    "I guess so… Xiao Yan, gather everyone. We''ll need to help General Chi even if it''s only a little bit." Nan Luo walked to the river banks and gathered his soldiers.


    500 soldiers were nothingpared to the 10,000 soldiers who were already busy fighting by now under General Chi and othermanders. However, it was still a force that could help to turn the tide in a battle.


    "Now that we''re on thend again, everyone chargeee!"


    "YES!"


    The melee battles began.


    …


    </at>


    Ssh! Ssh! Ssh!


    After conquering the city easily, General Long naturally set his eyes on the river. It was the most suitable location for them to cross. There was no way he would let this chance slide.


    At the same time, the enemies from Wei Da Kingdom would definitely not let them pass so easily.


    How could they?


    River General Kui immediately assigned a lot of soldiers to block the area towards the river and confronted General Long right on top of that river.


    He wanted to see how General Long and his soldiers would fare with fighting with their legs in the water.


    ng! ng!


    "Charge!" General Long shouted as he led the soldiers.


    Ssh! sh!


    Sound of water sshing apanied the sound of the ongoing battle as General Long continued to charge forward. The soldiers behind him were working as hard as they could to match with his speed.


    Many of them were not used with this new terrain.


    Even though the depth of the water was only around their knee or even lower, the existence of the water alone had hindered their movements.


    Not all of them were martial arts expert.


    ng! ng! ng!
