Chapter 2020 Retreat


    The night passed by quietly.


    The two armies each had their own thoughts for the battle and neither side was willing to give up. They had sacrificed a lot for this battle and they have their own reason why they didn''t want to give up. Giving up halfway is impossible!


    It was not like the difference between the two armies were so big. And because the difference was not big, anything could happen. What they could do was to fight their best to achieve the victory. ng! ng! ng!


    In the morning, the two armies shed once again, but this time, Long Qian Xing controlled the army to slowly retreat.


    The three families were retreating earlier than him, moving past therge valley and headed back to their own territory. Even if there were some apprehension, but they didn''t dare to say anything. Lei Lu Yao, the former General Lei, was looking at the soldiers in front of him and looked rather apprehensive. "Are you doubting your decision to retreat, General Lei?" Ye Shu Ken suddenly asked. The two of them were riding their horse side by side. From the way it looked like, Lei Lu Yao could only wait for the demise of the men under him. For a man who only cared about the well being of his vige, Lei Lu Yao was under a lot of pressure. ncing at Ye Shu Ken, Lei Lu Yao shook his head. "No, I''m not."


    From the very beginning, Lei Lu Yao has always been a person who cared the most about his own life and his people. The main reason why he agreed to Ye Shu Ken''s proposal back then was because Ye Shu Ken gave him apletely different path. A path where he didn''t have to be the ve of Shi Long Kingdom and worked so hard for them all the time while they might not even keep their words. It was not an easy decision. Back then, Lei Lu Yao thought hard several times, thinking about his life and so on. But in the end, he chose to take this bet. Because he knew very well that if he didn''t do it, when their side pushed towards Shi Long Kingdom''s territory, they would ravage his vige and also to plunder the resources there. It meant that when he still choose Shi Long Kingdom, his people would have been killed first. Lei Lu Yao knew it very well. And since he had made his decision…


    "This is the bet I took and if I fail, it just meant that I''m not fated for this path," Lei Lu Yao said slowly. "The Heaven didn''t favor me and why should I me you for that?"


    Ye Shu Ken''s eyes widened in surprise. He didn''t expect that Lei Lu Yao would think that way andughed out loud. "I''m sure that you will be a big person in the future with such a way of thinking, Brother Lei."


    Lei Lu Yao arched his eyebrows at Ye Shu Ken''s obvious ttering words. And from the way Ye Shu Ken changed his address, it was clear that Ye Shu Ken wanted to pull him closer to the Ye Family and so on. While Lei Lu Yao didn''t want to care about the rivalries between the three families, he knew very well that it would be inevitable in the future. That is, if they still have a future.


    But looking at Long Qian Xing, who wasmanding the retreat of the soldiers so calmly and unhurriedly, Lei Lu Yao had the faint feeling that everything seemed to be in ordance to what Long Qian Xing has been nning. The third general has been pressuring them further and further.


    But until this time, there didn''t seem to be any significant improvement. Even if Shi Long Kingdom seemed to have the advantage when one looked at the sea of soldiers from their side, but Fei Yang Kingdom''s side was not that weak either. Those who saw Long Qian Xing would see that this general was actually very calm. So calm that even Lei Lu Yao felt that nothing could possibly threaten him. "Perhaps… it might be a true counterattack like what he said," Lei Lu Yao said slowly. "Is it?" Ye Shu Ken was a bit skeptical, but he knew that they didn''t have much choices. They couldn''t hold on and fighting bitterly with Shi Long Kingdom has always been done. Anyway, now that they were retreating to the back, they were going to the territory they were familiar with. Even if they had to continue fighting, the three families would have the advantage of territory familiarity. How much this advantage would be useful in the battle would remain unknown until it was time, though. But no matter what, they would not give up so easily.


    This was a battle of life and death for them and the one at the stake was not only their lives but also the lives of the people who depended on them. So even if it was difficult, not a single one of them ever thought about giving up. ng! ng! ng! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Ming Shi Hong was fighting heartily while leading the soldiers to retreat slowly but surely. Everyone in his family was listening to him even if they often also felt that their leader was a bit childish at times.


    But they knew that they could trust him in important matters. It was also because of this that he was the leader of Ming Family. Not far away, Pan Lei Yin also ordered his soldiers to retreat and soon, almost everyone was already at the bank. ng! ng! ng!


    Long Qian Xing moved his soldiers to retreat while the soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom tried to push forward. He looked into the distance and saw the smoke signal. The corner of his lips curled up slightly.


    It''s time. Bang!


    The two sides suddenly felt the ground below them trembled and everyone was confused.


    What happened?
