Chapter 263: Ready for War

Burning with righteous ardour, the vice generals dreamed to defeat Qingyan troops superior in number only with strength . The vice generals might as well ask for the moon . No wonder they were crashed disastrously before Gong Qianyu came back to the camp .

“Your Highness, let’s start the war!”

“I agree, Your Highness . Having been trapped for days, Qingyan troops must be anxious and less vigilant . So it is the best time to launch the attack!”

“Truly . Our troops have had enough rest these days and are energetic enough to defeat Qingyan troops on the hop . ”

“Right! Your Highness, please issue an order . ”

Desperate to start the war, the vice generals discussed, itching to have a go .

“What makes you so sure about that?” Gong Qianyu suddenly asked with a piercing glance at theimpassioned vice generals .

It sent shivers down theirs spines and killed their passion instantly when they took a glance at Vice General Wang sneakily .

Scared of the arrogant crown prince, Vice General Wang threw caution to the wind with a tight frown .

He forced himself to step forward and said word by word for Nanjiang troops, “Your Highness, we’ve kept our eyes on the movement of Qingyan troops during the training . Meanwhile, we’ve made some comparison and analyses . We all come to the conclusion that Nanjiang troops are capable to defeat Qingyan troops now . ”

“Do you all think so?” Gong Qianyu said in a low voice when giving a horrible glance at a vice general .

The vice generals trembled with their eyes sparkling and nodded heavily . “Yes…”

“Then lead the elite troops to launch the attack,” Gong Qianyu said indifferently before turning around and walking off .

The vice generals asked with confusion, “Your Highness, you are not going with us?”

The general in chief played an important role at war . Under the lead of incompetent vice generals, the troops were doomed to die .

“It’s none of my business that you want to risk your lives . I don’t want to die for nothing, like all of you,” Gong Qianyu said when he strode forward .

The vice generals immediately turned ghastly pale . They admitted that they were worse in strategy making than Gong Qianyu, but they were also well aware what kinds of wars they should avoid . But Gong Qianyu teased them for being incapable of making tactics .

The vice generals looked up and shot a piercing glare at Gong Qianyu .

Duan Wuluo abruptly turned around and took a glance over them with his sharp eyes . They all looked down so that he couldn’t read their minds .

Duan Wuluo slightly narrowed his eyes . Tactics rather than strength were decisive for Nanjiang to defeat Qingyan troops, in which there were over 200,000 soldiers .

Gong Qianyu turned down the vice generals’ requirement because he didn’t want to sacrifice Nanjiang troops for nothing . However, the vice generals were too eager to succeed . They urged him to start the war and wished to win honors without a thorough grasp of the situation . They even complained that Gong Qianyu didn’t seize the chance . They were way beyond foolish!

It was the right thing that Gong Qianyu left the camp . Or else, he would have been bothered and pissed off by their foolish deeds .

A slim body in light green came into eyes . When Murong Xue landed gently in front of Duan Wuluo, she asked blandly, “Prefect Duan, any ideas?”

It was not appropriate for her, a person from Qingyan, to enter Nanjiang camp directly, so she had to sneak in .

“The vice generals are horribly arrogant . Lucky me . I’m not the general in chief . Or else, I’ll issue an order and kill them all!” Duan Wuluo said in a low voice with a gloomy look . The vice generals must obey orders in any case . They did so when Gong Qianyu refused to start the war, but they were reluctant to do so as Gong Qianyu perceived .

“Were they responsible of guarding the border?” Murong Xue asked with her bright eyes slightly narrowed when looking at the vice generals’ grim faces .

Duan Wuluo nodded, “Yes, they’ve been guarding the border for years and they still will if Qingyan troops don’t invade our lands . ”

Having been local despots for years, the vice generals turned to be arrogant enough to retort upon Gong Qianyu’s decision .

Murong Xue said with a grim smile as if she had concerns, “The vice generals’ hometown is the capital . They must have very complicated family backgrounds . ”

“I guess,” Duan Wuluo nodded . As male adults, the vice generals had parents, wives and other relatives and clan members . Duan Wuluo added, “Why do you mention that, Miss Murong?”

“Nothing . I just think the vice generals are self-willed and don’t show respects to Gong Qianyu’s decision,” Murong Xue answered casually with a piercing gaze .

With a faint smile, Duan Wuluo said word by word, “Here is the military camp . Military orders can’t be disobeyed . Since Your Highness has issued an order, they don’t dare to disobey even if it’s against their will . ”

“Your Highness, bad news!” A soldier ran breathlessly with his face reddened and beads of perspiration forming on his forehead .

Duan Wuluo frowned unhappily . “What makes you feel panicky?”

“Your Highness, Prefect Duan, we’re attacked by Qingyan troops…” the soldier said with an anxious look, gasping for breath .

A gleam flashed across Duan Wuluo’s eyes . “That’s impossible!”

There was a large area of woods with traps inside between the troops of Nanjiang and Qingyan, which was filled with poisonous mist and swamps . Duan Wuluo had witnessed it and tried to find a way out, but he failed quite a few days later .

“It’s true . You can go confirm it if you don’t believe it,” the soldier said word by word with a solemn look .

Duan Wuluo knitted his eyebrows tightly . Perhaps a talent from Qingyan troops had figured out how to get through the woods .

Suddenly, a figure in black flew past Duan Wuluo . It was Gong Qianyu who trotted to the trap jungle with his black sleeves fluttering like petals of a black lotus .

With a sullen look, Duan Wuluo trotted and followed him .

The vice generals looked at one another with the corners of their mouths curled upward proudly before they caught up with Gong Qianyu . The war between Qingyan and Nanjiang was inevitable . Even though Gong Qianyu was unwilling to start the war, he had no choice but to fight back under Qingyan troops’ attack .
