Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

No matter how much Lan Ping wished to arrive first, Jun Min and Soujin still got there first. When they arrived, it was nearing noon and the first day of the battle has started.

”We were almost late,” Jun Min said. Although they can’t participate in the first day’s battle, they still can make a turnaround tomorrow.

Soujin nodded. If they had not rushed to come here by horse, it was very likely that they will miss even more battles and the losses will probably be even more severe. Luckily, they had marched towards this place as soon as possible and didn’t delay their journey. With the exception of the day Soujin forced Jun Min to call out his sister.

Jun Min and Soujin called the leader after they had finished the first day’s war and reviewed the battle of that day. The Kai and Pan Kingdom had joined hands and launched a surprise attack towards them, causing some losses on their side. Luckily, the soldiers whom both Soujin and Jun Min had sent first helped them repel the attack that day.

”They are truly impatient,” Soujin stared at the maps. ”Their leader will surely appear the moment I reveal myself. Jun Min, you will be the one holding them from the back.”

Jun Min raised his brow. ”You want to duel with that great general?”

”Yes.”

A man’s aspiration is to grow stronger and Jun Min will not obstruct him. He had once tasted the blow from a great general and found himself at a disadvantage most of the time. It took him a great deal of effort just for a tie with his body still getting riddled with wounds. His uncle had strictly warned him to not get hurt anymore because a deep wound might leave scars.

Among the soldiers here, the ones who stood a chance at defeating the opponent’s great general are only Jun Min or Soujin, so they have to choose. Since Soujin volunteered himself, Jun Min would allow him to go forward to the battle.

”Then, make sure you keep him busy.”

”Who do you think I am?” Soujin’s lips curved, forming a devilish smile. He’s confident that with his appearance, the other party would surely engage him in a battle unless they’re willing to sacrifice their soldiers.

Facing this confident man, Jun Min turned his attention to the map. The terrain here is more similar to the ones on the west. It’s unfamiliar to them, but with their experiences on the battlefield, it didn’t take long before the two of them were engaging in a duel of words regarding the best strategy to eliminate the opponent.

”There are not many hills in this place, there is no way we can take advantage of the high terrain...”

”This is not a mountain, General Jun Min, higher places don’t have much significance here. You should focus more on the side area, there are several weird terrains…”

”No way, that would be impossible! You should just…”

”The elites here are limited, you can’t just dispose them to…”

The other generals looked at each other before voluntarily backing down. They were not willing to get involved with the duo’s battle of words especially when it was obvious that the two’s abilities in constructing plans are far better than theirs. Even if they wished to get involved, they need to have something to say first.

From the outside, the soldiers can hear the battle of words very clearly. Despite that, no one dared to come any closer and ask them what they were doing because they recognize these two voices, Jun Min and Soujin’s. Who would dare to question them?

”Their voices are really loud,” one of the soldiers murmured as he stared from afar. From his place, he cannot tell the content of their discussion, but he knows that the two of them have been shouting this and that to each other. The heated discussion has been going on for some time now, but none of the soldiers dared to complain.

”Don’t mind them.”

The soldier nodded and clenched his fist. ”Whatever their strategies are, I will follow them.”

”You seem to be wholeheartedly following your general, why?”

”He’s a great person.”

The person answered back. He remembered when he was challenging Jun Min at his sister’s place, he was trashed completely. Ever since then, he had been training like crazy, but because of this war, he had to join and achieve some accomplishments.

This man is Fan Ying, Fan Lanying’s brother, who has been staying under General Yabei. He went with his general to this battle in order to make some achievement. Upon seeing that Jun Min was also here, his battle spirit had been ignited and he could not wait for tomorrow’s battle. With Jun Min as the leader, he is sure that the battle will be even more intense.

The duel of words between Soujin and Jun Min lasted for several minutes more before the two of them calmed down and jotted down the points that they have agreed upon. The generals were all speechless upon seeing the two of them returning back into being friendly so quickly after a heated debate among the two of them.

”Alright, you will have full control of the soldiers tomorrow.” Soujin said after concluding everything with Jun Min.

Jun Min nodded. ”Leave everything to me. You just need to focus on your battle with that great general.”

”Sure.”

The two of them turned to look at the stunned generals and other commanders around them. Jun Min grinned and said, ”Soujin will explain the matters to you. I will take a rest first.”

Soujin wanted to retort, but Jun Min had already ran out from the tent, leaving him with the other leaders. He shook his head and turned his attention back to start explaining the agreed strategy briefly.

The leaders from Soujin’s side had expected their leader to get angry at Jun Min, but contrary to their expectations, Soujin didn’t get angry and merely shook his head before starting to explain the strategy. Now they felt admiration towards Jun Min who can make their leader be so tolerant of him. They didn’t know how many times both of them had already bantered around. If they knew, they would think that this matter is not extraordinary.

Jun Min spotted Fan Ying amongst the soldiers and he smiled slightly. Him being here meant that Yabei has concluded that his training is good which means, this will be a good thing for him.
