Chapter 962: The Winter Battle (1)Kreet!


    Wu Shan saw Nan Hua walked out and stepped out. Her steps were slow and steady while blood dripped from her hand and robe, which waspletely soaked in blood. It didn''t need a genius to know what she had done inside.


    "How is it?" Wu Shan asked.


    "Complete failure." Nan Hua nced at Wu Shan. "Thank you very much."


    With him standing here, Nan Hua knew that no one would dare to get close to the building. This would allow her to try saving and reversing those methods quietly without anyone bothering her.


    "I didn''t do anything worth your thanks." Wu Shan wave his hand. "Jin Jie sent a letter when she heard that you''re here. But since it''s alreadyte at night, you should rest before going to her ce."


    "Mhm."


    Nan Hua had worked for a couple of hours inside that room, trying to reverse the poison and technique. However, she was met with utter failure as everything she tried to do was wrong.


    She had to study more of the Zhang Xu Kingdom''s medicines.


    "I have prepared a room for you."


    "Ok."


    Not standing on ceremony, Nan Hua followed Wu Shan to the small building that was already prepared for her. On the way, Nan Hua could see that there were still some people in the Mountain Tribe who didn''t seem to wee her presence that much.


    It was not that weird.


    Considering that Nan Hua came from the Dark Moon Organization, yet she had already attracted their leader''s attention from the very moment she came. If she didn''t attract any jealousy, Nan Hua would think that it was strange instead.


    It was a quiet night.


    The next day, Nan Hua noticed that snow had started to fall. The temperature had indeed decreased a lot for the past few days.


    Winter came a bit early this year.


    The battle in this cold winter wouldn''t be easy.


    Nan Hua departed to the frontline where Yu Jin was located. Wu Shan would stay behind to protect the Mountain Tribe. Until they had guarantee that Zhang Xu Kingdom wouldn''t touch the Mountain Tribe, Wu Shan wouldn''t leave the area.


    He was the strongest person in the Mountain Tribe after Yu Jin. But at the same time, he had a huge task on his shoulder.


    The journey was fast as Nan Hua used the shortcut prepared by the Mountain Tribe.


    ng! ng! ng!


    The faint sound of metal shing entered Nan Hua''s ear when it was afternoon. Nan Hua knew that she was close when she heard that. She quickened her pace and traversed the forest in front of her.


    Bang! Peng! ng!


    sh!


    Nan Hua bypassed the trees and saw the snowy ins in front of her. The snow had just fallen, but it had dyed the ground in the mix of the white and red color. Red because this was the battlefield where countless soldiers died.


    Nan Hua stayed still and didn''t participate in the battle. Since they were fighting in a in, Yu Jin wouldn''t be able to make use of her men''s advantage of being able to fight in harsh terrain.


    Still, their roar could be heard from time to time as they tried to push forward.


    "KEEP GOING! WE''RE GOING TO DYE THE GROUND RED WITH ZHANG XU KINGDOM SOLDIERS BLOOD!"


    Yu Jin''s yell could be heard from far at the front.


    "UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"


    It was followed by the sound of her soldiers.


    Nan Hua stayed still.


    She turned to look at the temporary headquarter that Yu Jin set up and made her way there. The soldiers from the Mountain Tribe was surprised when they saw her and almost everyone recognized her.


    Who wouldn''t remember a great beauty who had been acknowledged by their leader as her sister?


    "Third Leader."


    Third leader?


    Nan Hua blinked her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. She recognized him as the fourth expert in the Mountain Tribe who was working under Yu Jin. Back then, she had knocked him out easily after shing a few times.


    "You don''t have to call me that way." Nan Hua beckoned for him to stand up.


    The man nodded and stood up. He looked at Nan Hua for a moment before introducing himself, "I''m Wei Lian, the fourth… No, I mean, the fifth leader in the Mountain Tribe."


    After Nan Hua inexplicably took the third ce, Wei Lian was naturally demoted to the fifth position. However, he had fought against Nan Hua and naturally knew that he was not her match.


    Rather than trying to humiliate himself further, it would be better for him to just ept the arrangement. He didn''t want to be beaten up just because he wanted to try proving himself when he had known that he was weaker.


    "How''s the progress so far?" Nan Hua decided to shift the conversation. She could ask her people from Dark Moon Organization whom she had ced in some areas nearby, but it would be faster to ask Wei Lian.


    "Queen Yu is really strong. However, the other sides have been using igneous tactic that prevent her from breaking through the soldiers. So far, neither side can gain the advantage."


    In short, a stalemate.


    Nan Hua was not surprised that it ended that way. After all, the opponent who was controlling the soldiers on the other side was Prime Minister Lei. With him being the brain of everything, he would never allow Yu Jin to break through.


    In that case, she would just shake the battlefield tomorrow.


    She didn''t know how much the soldiers would be able to follow her leadership or whether it was possible to break through. But Nan Hua was sure that with her appearance, she would be able to change a bit of the tide of the battle.


    At the very least, it would fall in Yu Jin''s favor.


    "How many soldiers are there here?"


    "Queen Yu brought around 40,000 soldiers with her. The rest are protecting the Mountain Tribe. We can''t bring all of them here because they also need to protect the people there."
