Chapter 977: Nan Luo’s Growth"You''re my older sister unrted by blood," Nan Hua said seriously.


    Yu Jin looked at Nan Hua and a smile formed on her face. The smile was different from her mischievous smile or smug smile that she often showed. It was a smile that came from the bottom of her heart.


    Everyone had their own way of expressing their affection. She liked to nag and being the blunt person in front of her brother and sister.


    But Nan Hua would not do that.


    She always stayed silent and even looked rather expressionless. But Yu Jin realized that when Nan Hua truly cared for someone, she would listen to them. And the most important thing was that Nan Hua would treat them extremely well and seriously.


    Hearing Nan Hua''s words were enough for Yu Jin.


    "Hehehe."


    "Jin Jie?"


    "I''m happy that Hua''er cares for me~."


    Nan Hua was speechless.


    She began to wonder whether there was something wrong in Yu Jin''s head. However, she decided to put the thought to the back of her mind and then walked to her own tent. A soldier came forward and handed her a bamboo strip.


    It was the report of her twin brother''s condition.


    Even when Nan Hua didn''t stay near Nan Luo, she still had her people watch his condition. Naturally, she had asked them not to interfere unless Nan Luo is in mortal danger. She didn''t want to lose her twin brother, but she also didn''t want to hinder his growth.


    So, all she did was to send some people to watch over him secretly.


    ''Thest battle…'' Nan Hua''s eyes showed a hint of astonishment when she read the content. She could see that her twin brother was growing rapidly as he had said to her.


    If she didn''t want him to catch up easily, she had to work hard too.


    ''I won''t make it easy for you, Luo.''


    Nan Hua yed with the needles slipped among her finger. Her eyes watched the needles as she controlled it carefully. She had to make sure that her skill grew better and better with time.


    …

    It has been months since Nan Hua left. At first, Nan Luo was a bit depressed with Nan Hua''s absent.


    However, he had been staying at the battlefield for some time even before Nan Hua''s appearance. It didn''t take long for him to adapt without having Nan Hua apanying and having him as a backing.


    Truthfully, not having Nan Hua protecting him also restrained his movement a bit.


    He didn''t dare to be so reckless.


    "Luo, you''re moving to the frontline." Feng Ao Kuai nced at his cousin, who was warming up. "The very first line."


    Nan Luo arched his eyebrows. Usually, he would be stationed behind othermanders as he was deemed to not have enough experience to lead at the very front duringrge battles like this.


    "I didn''t expect them to send me to the front so quickly." Nan Luo grinned.


    "You''re showing good progress during the winter battle. Besides, General Wei had just managed to capture that city and moved up the frontline." Feng Ao Kuai rolled his eyes.


    Over the winter, they were battling hard and had to make sure that they were notcking behind at all. Themanders were covertlypeting against each other despite their cooperation. After all, they all wanted to get promotion.


    The first one to get promotion was Mu Sheng Xi. After that dolls incident where he was also partially responsible for the cleanup, he was promoted to be a 4000 menmander. Many others were envious of him, but they didn''t dare to go against him either.


    The former General Mu was not just an empty title of his father.


    They didn''t want to offend a war hero just because of some jealousy.


    "General Wei is really good." Nan Luo nodded.


    Fei Yang Kingdom has just been oppressed, yet General Wei could grasp the chance provided and took over one of Zhang Xu Kingdom''s city. This move clearly provoked Zhang Xu Kingdom and they estimated that there might be other generals who would be stationed here.


    The battle would only grow fiercer.


    "Go or you''ll bete."


    "Got it!"


    Nan Luo excitedly led his soldiers to the new designated location. He was astonished when he saw the enemy''s line so clearly in front of him. It was not every single time he could stand in front of so many soldiers during such big war.


    The corner of his lips curled up to form a smile.


    ''Grandfather, I''m getting close to you.''


    "Prepare for battle!" Nan Luo yelled at his soldiers, who quickly readied their stances. Some of them were nervous for being at the very front like this while some others were excited and anticipated it.


    Being at the first line meant both danger and opportunity.


    They would be the first one to sh against the enemy and if they were powerful enough, they could break the enemy''s line to enter deeper. This also meant that they had higher chance to strike some merit.


    Naturally, they needed to have enough strength to back it up.


    Nan Luo looked at the enemy''s line and gripped his sword tighter. He was waiting for General Wei to start the battle.


    "CHARGE!"


    "UOOOOOOOOOOOO!"


    As the order was given, Nan Luo''s entire attention was focused on running towards the enemy''s line.


    Once they started, they couldn''t stop.


    Not if they still wanted to stay alive because if they ever tripped, the soldiers behind them wouldn''t care for them and continued to charge forward. They would die because they were trampled by their ownrades.


    So, they had to run.


    The voices of others seemed to disappear as Nan Luo reached the enemy''s line. He could see the row of shields blocking the path in front of him.


    His eyes narrowed.


    His pace quickened.


    "Kill them!"


    Swish! Tep!


    As the spear was forced forward, Nan Luo used it as a step and jumped over the enemy''s line. His sword then swung towards the enemy very quickly.


    SLASH!
