1147 A Soldier’s Spirit Lives On 4 (1/2)
Inside the military camp, Long Qi stared at the letter he held in his trembling hands that he had just received, his cold hard face showing a crack of his emotions.
”Chief General…..” The Rui Lin Army soldiers were staring worriedly at Long Qi.
Long Qi was silent for a long while before he suddenly stood up. He put the letter on the table and grabbed his cape to secure it upon his shoulders. Picking up his sword, he ran out from the camp and leapt onto his warhorse, charging straight towards the battlefield!
A soldier within the camp looked in shock at Long Qi who had suddenly turned murderous. He turned feeling highly puzzled and saw the letter that Long Qi had left behind on the table. He subconsciously picked up the letter and swept his eyes over it!
In that instant!
Every word on that letter drove the soldier into deeper shock!
[To be opened by: Long Qi, my son]
[Your old man has been relieved of my armour and returned to pasture for many years. Finally, a battle has arrived that allows me to return to the battlefield. Today, I stand together with the Lord of the Green City in battle, swearing to defend the soil of the Qi Kingdom to the death. If you receive this letter, it will mean that your old man's soul has returned to the Heavens and do not grief when you see this letter. You know that men of the Long Family shed blood and not tears. Our bodies are branded with the Rui Lin Army's spirit and do not besmirch the Rui Lin Army's name! I look forward to seeing my son eliminate more of the enemy's leaders on the battlefield and protect the Qi Kingdom's empire from being stolen by thieves!
Long Zhan.
”It's the Senior General….. The Senior General…..” The soldier fell back to sit upon the ground in shock. Another soldier who was patrolling suddenly saw the first soldier looking like he saw a ghost and he came running inside in a hurry.
”What happened?”
The first soldier's face was filled with despair as he gripped at his comrade's sleeve tightly!
”The day before, news that the Green City had been destroyed came in. Do you still remember that!”
The soldier was surprised a moment before he nodded quickly.
The battle at the Green City, was said to be extraordinarily intense. A city that should have been abandoned had suddenly put up a strong and powerful defense!
