Drap! Swish! Clang! Clang!
Swish! Clang! Clang! Slash!
The battles continued until it was night. And even until the end, Commander Meng didn't even land a clean hit on Nan Hua even once. While he himself suffered various wounds on his body that made him like a ragged soldier.
This made him feel thoroughly humiliated.
But what could he do?
He couldn't do anything!
That was why he could only return dejectedly.
Meanwhile, Nan Hua came back to the camp with the five commanders following behind her. She had given them number so that she would be able to give order easier. If she had to memorize their names in that chaos, it would require too much of her brain power.
Rather than that, using number was faster.
"You're back." Yu Jin grinned. "How's your first battle?"
"It's good."
Nan Hua had good exercise. It has been a long time since the last time she met someone who was capable of following her speed and countered her attacks. Despite her not attacking with her full power, she was still capable of maintaining her focus on the battle in front of her and around her.
It was scary.
The five commanders who were tasked to stay under Nan Hua didn't even dare to speak when Nan Hua didn't say anything. They felt immense pressure just like when they were facing Yu Jin.
Yu Jin glanced at the five of them.
She had naturally seen their restrain when they were in front of Nan Hua. The corner of her lips curled up to form a smile. It seemed that her sweet little sister must have scare her men a bit too much.
They wouldn't have such intense reaction otherwise.
"You're dismissed."
The five commanders bowed and then left one after the other. They didn't dare to disobey Yu Jin's order even if they were given nine lives. The way Yu Jin treated those who dared to betray her was very cruel.
"I kept on hearing the soldiers yelling from your sides when I was fighting. But honestly, I really don't want to fight that prime minister again." Yu Jin gritted her teeth.
Looking at the ever changing formation in front of her before, she felt like smashing Prime Minister Lei's head with a rock. Right at this moment, she knew very well that someone like her was not that Prime Minister's match.
She needed help to fight him.
Thankfully, her little sister seemed to be very capable and could even withstand the barrage of attack from before.
"With you destroying the right side, the left side is easier to deal with. However, I still can't penetrate deeper." Yu Jin tilted her head. "Do you think that you can possibly charge forward?"
Charge forward?
Nan Hua was trying to applicate the method of splitting her attention to make sure that she could give order to the soldiers. But if she could focus on dealing with Commander Meng, she knew that she would need around a quarter of incense stick of time until one incense stick of time.
"…"
Only a ghost would believe her words.
This was also the reason why a commander needed an adjutant by their sides, especially for this era's type of war. When the main commander was fighting against the other party's commander, they needed someone who could help them to maintain the condition.
But of course, this condition didn't occur often.
It would only happen occasionally since not all commanders would be a crazy battle maniac who wanted duel at all times.
Yu Jin naturally knew that she couldn't fool Nan Hua, but she didn't mind it at all. As long as she believed it herself, it was more than enough!
"Are you going to do the same tomorrow?"
"No."
Close combat and head on battle is not Nan Hua's main strength. She only did that because she wanted to observe the other party and also the strength of the commanders that Yu Jin sent under her.
Even though she couldn't watch them all the time, Nan Hua had gained more than enough understanding of their strength.
Naturally, it was time for her to launch a different type of attack.
"In that case, I'll be the one to take the limelight tomorrow." Yu Jin grinned. She puffed up her chest. "Us sisters from Mountain Tribe would be famous soon."
Nan Hua was speechless.
