Promise (2)

Nan Hua looked at the distance.

Now that the battle was led by Great General Long, it would be inevitable that Heavenly General Sang's attention would be focused on Great General Long. And with the current situation, it would be impossible for Heavenly General Sang to focus on

Long Qian Xing anymore.

More importantly, there was simply not enough soldiers reserve in Shi Long Kingdom to maintain two battlefield anymore.

The casualties from the attack that Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing made through the water had cut down most of the soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom on the south. It could be said that if Long Qian Xing were to go north from here, there wouldn't be much resistance from the surrounding cities.

At least, for the time being.

However, Nan Hua understood what Long Qian Xing was planning.

By further weakening Shi Long Kingdom, it would be easier for Great General Long to conquer Shi Long Kingdom, thus achieving their goal of conquering Shi Long Kingdom.

It was just that...

"The soldiers wouldn't be enough for effective attack," Nan Hua said slowly. "Unless you already have plan on who to call for help." Long Qian Xing showed a faint smile and chuckled. "I already have the plan and has sent him a message. He will join us shortly before we reach the great river in Shi Long Kingdom."

The great river in Shi Long Kingdom referred the big kingdom that separated the south of Shi Long Kingdom and the north of Shi Long Kingdom. This river originated from Wei Da Kingdom, passing by Fei Yang Kingdom, and eventually reached Shi Long Kingdom before going to the sea.

The river was really long and wide, which made it hard for them to cross if they wanted to.

It could be said that Shi Long Kingdom had great confidence in their own defense because they knew that this river will definitely be able to stop Long Qian Xing and his army. Crossing that river as an army would have been extremely difficult.

And even Nan Hua didn't have any good plan.

Unless they were planning to use ship to transport the army or find the place where the river was not so wide.

"Are you sure that you can cross the river?" Nan Hua asked slowly. "It wouldn't be so easy because of the current."

The great river in Shi Long Kingdom was different from the rivers in the Central freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Area, formerly Wei Da Kingdom. The river here is wider and deeper compared to the river there.

Moreover, they were also near the sea at one point to the east, which made the current somewhat harsh.

"I have thought about it and His Majesty is wiling to help me out on this matter," Long Qian Xing said unhurriedly, his hand slowly kneaded Nan Hua's hand.

Nan Hua could sense Long Qian Xing's faint movement, but she let him be because she knew that it was her decision that eventually made them choose this.

And she was wiling to let him do what he wanted as long as it didn't cross the limit. "His Majesty agreed to your request?" Nan Hua repeated, but she didn't sound surprised.

The relationship between Long Qian Xing and Emperor Yang Zhou was really close. The two of them have also gone through some battle of life and death together, forming their bonds even closer with each other. Now that Long Qian Xing had a plan, Emperor Yang Zhou was more likely to support him because of his relationship and also because of his personality and plants.

For the sake of Fei Yang Kingdom and also because of their friendship, Emperor Yang Zhou would definitely be willing to let Long Qian Xing used those things that have been prepared for a long time.

It seemed that the next battle would be a battle of technology between the two kingdoms.

Nan Hua thought about it and her eyes narrowed slightly. The technology might not look very advanced, but they were useful and Nan Hua knew very well that it was very useful.

And in this war... the word 'knowledge' might be the point that would make the differences between the two kingdoms. But how it would be in the future was still something that had to be seen as neither of them were sure about it.

"Yes." Long Qian Xing chuckled. "I've prepared everything for this war. This time... you only have to come with me, Hua'er."

Nan Hua heard Long Qian Xing's words and raised her head to look in his direction. Seeing his gaze, Nan Hua knew he was not done, so she looked in his direction back. He fell silent in their conversation as he watch the light from the moon shine down on her as the clouds clear away, mesmerized by how the gentle light made her look ethereal. Her beautiful eyes met with his eyes, drawing him even further. Closing his eyes he took a deep breath as memories of their time together flow at the back of his mind.

She was often the one stood in front of him, no matter what the danger was in front of them. Putting them onto her shoulder as if it was all her responsibility.

He didn't want that.

"Hua'er, I know that you had your own view in various matters and also your own plans. And I appreciate them, but you're not alone and will never be alone in the future. I'll be by your side, so let me be part of your plans if you have any and I'll be protecting you...."

Long Qian Xing fell silence for a moment, his eyes were full of determination as he looked at Nan Hua.

"No matter what happened in the future, I'll always be on your side."

Be it stormy or sunny, be it full of happiness or sadness, he will never ever leave Nan Hua. Because not being able to see her nor staying by her side was more painful than anything else.
