You wont be able to survive, General Shangguan. The person in front of him, General Yu from Zhang Xu Kingdom, said in a low tone. It was clear that he was very certain that the person in front of him would die.
Heh, I was respecting you yesterday and decided to have a fight with you because I thought youre a true general. But to think that youre actually such a brat like this. General Shangguan held his ground and stared at General Yu with determination within his eyes.
General Yu let out a faint laugh and coughed. He had already ingested some antidotes, but it was not enough to completely purge the poisons. He waved his hand.
Everyone, attack!
*cough*
Looking at the people who were coming towards them, General Shangguans eyes narrowed. He also waved his hand and the soldiers around him all stepped forward. Not a single one of them had any intention to back down.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of blade clashing reverberated on the battlefield.
Its futile. General Yu snorted. He knew very well that he was not General Shangguans match. This was the point that Prime Minister Lei had mentioned when he met with the other party yesterday.
One battle was all that Prime Minister Lei needed to decide which method was the best for him to deal with General Shangguan. If not because that woman was not in his army and that the preparation took some time, Prime Minister Lei would have asked him to use this method yesterday.
Now that he had used the poison, he had limited time to finish this battle.
If he exceeded the time limit that Lin Lu gave to him, he would die because of the poison.
Swish! Clang!
General Shangguan snorted but he still exerted his energy. So what if the poison spread further as he used his ability? He didnt care in the slightest bit. All he could see in front of him was these people and that he had to kill them at the swiftest time possible.
Slash!
General Yu furrowed his eyebrows. For some reason, he felt General Shangguan was moving faster than usual.
You
Before General Yu could attempt to attack, General Shangguan had already reached his side. The blade flashed from the corner of his eyes before it struck his body.
Slash!
Gah!
Thunk!
Dropping to his knees, General Yus eyes were filled with disbelief. How did you?
He shouldnt have been able to move.
The hardship of those who had stayed at the frontline for years is not something a mere poison can stop. General Shangguan snorted. He could feel his body was heavy and probably the poison had spread all over his body. However, he still decisively swung his sword and cut off General Yus head.
Slash! Thud!
*cough**cough*
General Shangguan!
Dont come in! General Shangguan gave strict order to those who were still outside. He looked at his fallen men as his heart felt a pang of pain. In his path to become a general, there were already a road formed by countless corpses from the soldiers. However, it would never erase the pain when he lost his men once more.
*cough* *cough*
Enduring the pain, General Shangguan step out of the poison mist. Those who were inside were dying one by one, including those of General Yus side. The antidotes or whatever they drank were not as effective as it should be because of their physique or some other reasons.
General Shangguan didnt care that much about this.
As he walked, he noticed that his soldiers were still busy fighting under his adjutants lead. They were trying to maintain the formation no matter how worried they were. It was good that General Shangguan was not used to have his subordinates stayed close to him most of the time.
Bang!
He turned his head to the front and noticed the mist was getting bigger and spreading further. His heart tightened as he knew that whatever powder these people were using, they didnt mind using it at such a large scale like this.
General Shangguan, you should return and get medicine.
Medicine?
Looking at his arms that had started to turn red and his skin cracked, General Shangguan knew that he would not have long to live anymore. He snorted and turned his head towards the incoming enemies from the mist.
Ten, tell my sons that Im sorry. General Shangguan promised that he would watch as Shangguan Xian and Shangguan Xiao truly become a general. He also had a dream to follow his fathers footsteps and become another great general.
But it didnt seem that path is possible for him anymore.
Commander Lin, hes still alive.
Ah? A feminine voice came out from the mist. Before long, the soldiers could see a young woman in her twenties stood not far from them. Rather than wearing proper armor, she was wearing long white robe that fluttered along with each steps she took.
General Shangguan looked at the woman in front of him. The most eye catching thing was the flag that the people behind her carried.
That cursed word
Lin Family, huh? General Shangguan gripped his sword tighter. I should have guessed it.
Uh Commander Lin, Lin Lu, was looking at General Shangguan as her body trembled a bit. She looked at her adjutant, who was also a woman. However, this woman was carrying a huge axe and brought it around as if it was as light as feathers.
What should I do? Lin Lu asked in a quivered tone.
Leave him to me. You just use your specialties. Ah, make sure dont overdo it. I dont have as much immunity as you.
Mhm.
The way Lin Lu acted didnt look like a commander at all. It seemed as if she was forced to come here and only knew how to use the poison in her hand.
General Shangguans eyes narrowed. He beckoned for his men not to get close. As for he himself?
Drap! Drap! Drap!
Clang! Clang!
