Book 4: Near Blood - Chapter 101: Root Cause (1/2)

Who had given the orders for the Heavenly Might Army to attack?

This was a question that Su Chen had been ru over for the past few days

For the few thousand years that the Flowing Gold Fort had been around, they had rarely sent out attack expeditions Their primary responsibility was to defend But if they did attack, the e forces in an effort to reclaiht

Even so, that was exactly how a branch of soldiers responsible for defending against the Ferocious Race was sent out into the Harvey Plains No e

This hy he had co for Xiao Feinan; it wasn’t to ask for reinforceure out what had happened

Xiao Feinan fell silent for a moment when he was presented with Su Chen’s question After a long time, he said, “Vice Commander Lin Wenjun was the one who proposed it, and the head coreed”

“Vice Co Pojun the vice co Pojun was another exceptional person

He, like Su Chen, did not have a bloodline

Long Pojun had created countless ional examinations, he had come out of nowhere and swept the floor with the other participants, obtaining the nue swathes of black s hi his na after, he entered the Hidden Dragon Institute and continued to defeat every opponent that challenged hiraduated froon Institute at the top of his class The results and accolades he had accumulated were even more impressive than Su Chen’s After all, Su Chen had only reached fifth in the Three Mountains Region exa during his tion Institute He had only displayed his brilliance for a bit during the expedition to the Goldwater Ruins However, it was his intelligence and not his brute strength that had allowed hi the Hidden Dragon Institute, Long Pojun had enlisted in the arlory as someone without a bloodline He led his soldiers in countless successful offensives against the Ferocious Race; even though his troops fought without the assistance of any tall walls, he was able to succeed ti Pojun, however, could only win battles After defeating the enemy, he would chase after the He had never done so deep into enemy territories before

When faced with Su Chen’s question, Xiao Feinan sighed again “Two years ago, Vice Co after the Ferocious Race and thereafter disappeared Shortly afterwards, this Vice Co Ferocious Army”

“Lin Wenjun…… His surnashan said, “His Highness, the Crown Prince”

Su Chen was stunned “The Army Supervisor Crown Prince?”

He ido their Crown Princes as Army Supervisors to teach them how best to protect the borders However, an Army Supervisor didn’t have any actual authority, only the ability to provide suggestions

However, the current situation was quite unique

The former vice commander had disappeared in an a the Arh his status was a bit lower, his actual authority had greatly increased

Duan Jiangshan’s explanation had given Su Chen an idea of as happening

Su Feinan sighed again “The Crown Prince beingthat was criticized quite a bit It was impossible to avoid a hasty attack to obtain quick results and quell the ht Aruha Castle? He never considered that there was a reason that Leguha Castle is a frontline stronghold against the Flowing Gold Fort? Did he think it would be easy to take down? And did he not think about how to guard the castle after capturing it?” Su Chen said coldly

Su Feinan replied, “Of course we thought about it However, Leguha Castle’s defenses and the number of soldiers they have stationed there are vastly inferior to us When you factor in the Red Wolf Tribe’s defeat and loss of morale, they probably wouldn’t have been able to hold onto it The Vice Commander decided on an ambush plan that, in theory, shouldn’t have been too difficult Even we ht not have deemed this plan iuha Castle ht not be as difficult because the Ferocious Race wouldn’t be able to withstand our attacks For millennia, the Ferocious Race has been on the offensive and Long Sang Country on the defensive They aren’t afraid of us co out; they’re afraid on’t come out at all Of course they wouldn’t station uha Castle If we attack the in that kind of a place isGold Fort”
