"They finished it all rather quickly," Yan said as he checked the war report. He had sent his spies to watch for the battle because he\'s rather busy attending some matters. With his identity as a merchant, he can travel far away easily and even gained profit.
Yan browsed through his profit from coming to Kai Kingdom this time. He\'s satisfied with the result and it\'s time for him to return back. Their plan is going smoothly.

Capital of Ming Kingdom
Ming Hui almost spurted out his drinks when he heard about the nicknames his friends get. He understands the nickname for Soujin, but calling Jun Min flower is truly… Never mind. He had once called him like that before when he saw the scene of him bathed in blood with all those around him.
"Jun Min is awesome," Fan Lanying said in awe. She was there when Ming Hui servant told them about that news.
Ming Hui chuckled. "Do you like him?"
Despite Ming Hui only casually asks it, Fan Lanying feels that there is a killing intent behind it. She wonders if Ming Hui had any grudge towards Jun Min. As for that question, the answer is no. She only admired him, not like him.
"No, I only admire him. I want to become a great general like him or Soujin," Fan Lanying grinned.
Ming Hui smiled warmly. "I will help you in the future."
"You can? But, aren\'t girls were not allowed to join the military?"
Ming Hui also knows about that rule, but he can make the exception for this girl. Of course, he cannot do it now, but he will.
"Don\'t worry, they will be able to in the future."
Fan Lanying stared at the serious face of Ming Hui. She giggled. "Why are you that serious? You don\'t have to help me, you know?"
"I want to."
Fan Lanying looks back at Ming Hui. She got the feeling that the person before her is not a girl, but rather a man. However, how can a man act so elegantly and refined to the point no other girls can match him? Fan Lanying shakes her head, erasing those thought.
Sometimes, the truth is in front of you, but you don\'t want to see it.

Kai Kingdom
The atmosphere on the palace is gloomy. The officials didn\'t dare to make any sound as their emperor is still looking angry. From the war report, they come to know why this emperor would be in so much rage.
Two of the princes had died. They are the capable ones too at that, making him even angrier. Their death is caused by two people, Ming Kingdom General Nanglong Soujin and Ming Kingdom Young General Jun Min. These two people names have resounded in the entire eastern part of Ming Kingdom. What makes it even more vexing is all the news are telling their greatness on the war.
"General Wei… do you have anything to say?"
General Wei is still standing straight even under the wrathful gaze of the emperor. He looks back calmly.
"General Nanglong Soujin and General Jun Min is two exceedingly capable general. There is nothing I can do in front of the two of them."
General Wei still remembers how the two of them joined hands to stop him and rushed towards his soldiers. The soldiers under their lead don\'t only have high morale, but also high skill that makes them capable to beat several soldiers in one goes. His defeat is not without a cause, he knows that facing two of them is almost impossible.
"What if there is only one of them?" the emperor eyes are glaring towards the general. As the emperor, this is the first time he feels this humiliated to lose so many soldiers without any achievement.
General Wei thinks about it. If there is only one of them, the number of the soldiers would reduce greatly, and there is only one person facing him. Regardless of which one of them, he knows that they are capable of fighting to tie with him. Besides, their post is not on the north border, so their real soldiers must be numbered even more.
"The possibility is there, but I cannot be sure about it."
The emperor knows that General Wei is not lying. Even his fourth son is acting a bit crazy because of fear all this time. The damages their kingdom had suffered are not one that he could take lightly.
"Are these two the only threats from Ming Kingdom?"
"No, there is still Lan Pan."
"That monster…" the emperor mouth twitched a bit. That Ming Kingdom is sure betting their lives with using that person. Regardless, Ming Kingdom has become unstoppable.

Pan Kingdom
The emperor over here still stays calm throughout the report, but not a single official dare to raise their head. They keep their head low and pray in their heart that the emperor won\'t notice them. The emperor won\'t go around pointing finger, but in an instant, they might lose their head without knowing the reason.
He tapped his chair as his eyes glared towards the officials.
"Can anyone tell me, how is it possible that our plan failed?"
The entire war is Pan Kingdom doing and they have planned everything perfectly. The losses of Mountain Kingdom should make Jun family shifted their attention towards Yuan Kingdom, but that kingdom suddenly backs down bringing the talented general towards the north and through fully destroyed their plan.
Who would have thought that the young and new rising general could accomplish so much? Not only that, they would never expect to see the Ming Kingdom actually unleash that monster on the border against them. This makes them suffered heavy losses over and over again.
"Your Majesty, our plan failed due to a unexpected factor."
The emperor glared towards that person causing his legs goes weak. He feels immense regret to speak up, but someone needs to do it.
"Relay my order, strengthen the defenses, when it\'s time, we will make the Ming Kingdom pay."
The emperor gaze is heated with flame of revenge. He won\'t let this matter end like this.
