Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower - Chapter 2639: Commotion

Chapter 2639: Commotion

“Hmm?” Long Qian Xing’s eyes raised dangerously when he heard the commotion.

“Master, it seems that some people come and break in,” Lou directly gave report when he heard this and his eyes narrowed.

Now, Long Qian Xing is currently nervous and didn’t want to leave Nan Hua’s side. And it was also during this time that some people came and break into the Long Family Residence.

Who would believe if they said it was a coincidence?

Long Qian Xing snorted and said, “Tell Long Xu that if he couldn’t handle this matter, he should go back and triple his training.”

“Yes, Master!”

…

<Long distance away, the North Border>

Song Yun Xiang ordered the soldiers to be prepared and it was at this time the second scout came back. He was not one of the two people who came with Fang Sheng Lin but a scout who stayed in the base.

In short, their small base was attacked and the people there had no option but to run away as fast as possible when they could.

None of them wanted to die.

“How did they attack?” Song Yun Xiang asked.

This was an important point for Song Yun Xiang. If the scouts were attacked through the use of the special methods like what the first scout said, then he might have to risk telling General Yang and the others about the invention at the north.

Gu Xia Mo might be forced to make thorough preparation for this matter.

Because if it was exposed, their only chance of winning might only came if Gu Xia Mo were to make something similar or something even better.

After all, Song Yun Xiang knew very well that the difference in the level of technology would not be so easy to surpass. Their only chance to win was only through making better technology or to make great sacrifice.

Of course, there were some tactics that might be used.

But in case of large scale battle…

It would not be so useful.

Song Yun Xiang looked at the second scout solemnly.

“The northern tribe come into the camp and attacked us on top of the horse and also carried weapon. Many of us are directly killed and the others are chased by the horse,” the second scout quickly explained.

“How did you escape?” Minister Yang, who had already arrived, frowned.

In the case the northern tribe used the horses to kill the scouts, how did they manage to survive?

“I… I hide and pretend to be dead.” The second scout closed his eyes with shame.

He knew very well that this tactic was shameless and could be said to be cowardly. But he didn’t want to die.

And under that desperate situation, this was the only thing that he could think of.

The northern tribe people were in a hurry and didn’t check twice for those who had fallen. They captured the few scouts who tried to run away but failed and brought them back to their place.

And the second scout didn’t know where it is.

He stayed hidden for a long time until they were gone and then slowly made his way back.

At this time, he had no other choice but to return to the camp.

Why?

Because the northern tribe took their resources in the camp and there was barely anything left. There was no way the second scout would be able to survive without any supplies whatsoever.

So he could only go back in Fei Yang Kingdom’s direction.

The second problem was that the wall construction had allowed the wall to be expanded for several kilometers to both the left and right side. It could be said that Gu Xia Mo truly worked efficiently and used the war prisoners exceptionally well, allowing them to achieve result so quickly.

But it hadn’t reached the goal yet.

It was just… under such a long wall, the second scout knew very well that there was no chance for him to sneak into Fei Yang Kingdom’s territory secretly. Worse, he might even be killed because he was suspected of running away.

So even though it was shameful, the second scout could only return with his head hung low.

“You did a good job.” Song Yun Xiang shook his head.

He didn’t really expect that the scouts would be able to effectively attack a large number of soldiers form the northern tribe. After all, their base strength was there and even if they wanted to, their ability was limited.

Fei Yang Kingdom also couldn’t send too many people as scouts.

So the only thing that these people had to do was to escape when there was any danger and return to Fei Yang Kingdom as fast as possible to deliver the news they received.

Aside from these, they would also deliver news from time to time through the letter sent on weekly basis.

It would help Fei Yang Kingdom knew if there was any change on the scouting camp point.

Fang Sheng Lin’s presence could be said to help these scouts to block the attack from the northern tribe and protect them. In other words, he was their bodyguard.

“Your task is to deliver news,” Song Yun Xiang said slowly. “But no next time.”

The second scout, who had just gotten better, instantly froze and quickly replied, “Yes!”

“One more thing, does all of your teammate die?”

“No.” The second scout shook his head hurriedly. After hesitating for a moment, he could only answer truthfully, “They’re caught by the northern tribe and I don’t know where they are right now.”

Caught by the northern tribe?

Song Yun Xiang was stunned and then frowned.

If the Northern tribe wanted to kill these people, they would not purposely take the scouts to their own camp.

As for using these scouts as hostage…

That tactic would not work.

Because Fei Yang Kingdom could not afford to abandon the defense line for the sake of a few people.

In that case, what is their reason?
