Chapter 64 - 64. Battle With Great General Di I (1/2)
Third person POV
Both sides clashed, screaming sounds and weapons clashing could be heard. Mages from the back of the line launches continuous magic, the earth element at the front forming a shield. The other magic elements were on offensive side. Dong Fang's side was leading the war, as their formation was perfect.
Hong er: ' What a great teamwork. Father told me many things about Great General Di, he is a great strategist and fighter. He lived up to the rumors.'
Li Han was clashing with Di Yu ( Great General Di) and obviously Di Yu easily overwhelmed Li Han. More and more injuries appeared on Li Han's body while Di Yu was unscathed. Di Yu raised his spear and stabbed Li Han's thigh. He pulled out the spear and stabbed Li Han's right arm. Di Yu swung his spear across Li Han's forehead, a deep straight line appeared on Li Han's forehead. Li Han was screaming in agony.
Li Han: ” How.. dare you..”
Li Han said while blood flew down from his forehead. Di Yu looked down at Li Han with a cold eyes.
Great General Di: ” This is a battlefield, not a playground.”
Di Yu raised his spear again but before he could swung down his spear, he dodged his head to the side. He looked at the arrow that planted deeply to the ground and looked at the border wall, a girl with red attire holding a white bow that was pointing to his direction. Hong er gave Di Yu hand gestures.
Hong er: ' Can you let him off?'
Di Yu glanced at the battered Li Han, he turned around and left Li Han behind. Weisheng who was standing beside her asked her.
Weisheng: ” Why?”
Hong er: ” We can't let him die yet.”
Weisheng: ” En.”
Weisheng: ' What my wife says goes.”
Weisheng: ” Don't you care about the dying soldiers.”
Hong er: ” I care but they are Li's soldiers not us, not Da Chu's. The lesser their amount, the better it will be.”
Weisheng: ” How could you know it was Li's?”
Hong er: ” Instinct.”
Weisheng: ” Hoo~”
Weisheng: ' Then why are her instinct towards my love was so… I don't want to think about that. My heart hurts.”

After a half day of battling, the sky started to get darker, horns were blown meaning the battle for today was done. Both side retreated to their own camp. Hong er saw the casualties from Li Han's side and Di Yu's side and it was depressing.
About 30 thousand Li's soldiers died and 40 thousand were injured. The soldiers' spirit were lowered, they were scared as their side was losing. At this time, Hong er and Weisheng went to Li Han's tent. They were blocked by Li Han's bodyguard but Qiyi and Qier easily took care of them. Weisheng and Hong er entered the tent and saw the heavily injured Li Han helplessly laying on his bed with physicians surrounding him.
Hong er: ” We will lead the war tomorrow.”
Li Han: ” WHAT?! NO- *cough cough”
Physician: ” General, please don't move or else the injuries will open again.”
Li Han: ” SHUT UP!”
Physician: ” Eeek!”
The physician was scared out of his life, Hong er went to the physician's side and asked him to wait outside.
