684 Who Is Lord Xiao? (2/2)
Wenren Chuchu nodded.
”Besides, the new commander has arrived, why haven’t they changed the commander’s flag yet? Are they trying confuse me? That is not a good move at all!” Wenren Jianyin looked at the Iron Peak and couldn’t understand it.
”Wu Gonglie was an admirable man. His soldiers are loyal to him. This new commander must be trying to buy popularity among them, so he didn’t change the flag right away,” Wenren Chuchu said.
”That is possible. However, it is always the right thing to change the flag and set his own prestige. If he truly did this to buy popularity from those wounded men, he would be a fool. We shouldn’t fear for it!”
While they were talking, somebody shouted, ”Their commander’s flag is rising…”
It was a normal thing to report, but the guy shouted like he had seen something extremely strange, as if he couldn’t believe what he had seen.
Wenren Jianyin and Wenren Chuchu were surprised, so they looked up to the flag.
No matter how they tried to stay calm, when they saw the flag, they were surprised.
A huge flag was rising up on the Iron Peak!
That was a huge flag. It was at least five times the size as normal commander’s flag. It stretched out under the brisk wind.
That was magnificent!
However, it was such a special flag… because it was a… white flag!
Men in the army of the Kingdom of Lan-Feng kept whispering about it.
”I’ll be damned. Did I see the real thing?”
”Holy heavens. A white flag? That is awesome! Are they surrendering?”
”I have fought in battles for so many years and this is the first time I see somebody get in the battle with a white flag. That is… pretty f*cked up…”
”That’s true. How strange! White flag… Oi? Words on it?”
”I saw it already. That is a huge flag, but it is still too far away. I can’t see it clearly enough. Maybe it says ‘surrender’?”
”That’s right. A white flag. It should be written something to surrender! Not much a surprise to me!”
…
Wenren Jianyin stared at the flag and tried to focus on it. He had a pair of sharp eyes. He couldn’t see the words clearly with his Sky Origin Stage capability.
”Lord Xiao, Kingdom of Chen?” He was surprised, ”Chuchu, you have been staying in the capital of Kingdom of the Chen for a while, do you know who Lord Xiao is?”
