1336 Less than a Woman 1
Sword One nodded, thought for a while and understood what she meant.
Then they continued forward.
Elder Miss was going to make the array, and Lord Huai was going to take care of her by her side, whilst her job was to guard them, making sure that no accidents happened.
It was still snowing outside.
At the gate of Xinzhou, some guards were worried that Lady Chaoyan would not see clearly when it became dark, so they held a torch, warming up the place as the sun went down.
It was still very quiet in Xinzhou, but everyone was very motivated.
***
At the military camp of the North Qi.
It was dead quiet at the chief’s tent, where no one was celebrating like before.
They had lost a battle.
It was the first time for them to have lost a battle after the expedition.
Seated on the top chair, the Prince flung away the tea the maid had served, and the tea cup landed on the ground, smashing into pieces.
He looked extremely annoyed.
Those magical monsters all died outside the gate, and his soldiers were so stupid as to get themselves killed. Three thousand people had died, and they had no way of countering.
That was like a slap right in Xuan Lin’s face.
He had never experienced such a failure before!
“What happened? Did they change the chief?” Xuan Lin asked coldly, as he glanced at his soldiers without any expression on his face.
The soldiers exchanged a look between themselves, feeling quite scared.
They were all aware of what their Prince was like. Everything was fine when they won the battle, but they had totally lost the previous battle, which made them quite scared.
They would get into huge trouble if their Prince vented his anger.
“Prince… they did have a new chief. Duke North is in a coma and almost died, so they had to change the chief, but they did not really have anyone useful. I seem to have seen that it was a woman in white giving them instructions. The Saint Divine Land really has no one to lead the troops, they even used a woman to do the work!” The soldier laughed at how the Saint Divine Land had no one to give instructions.
The soldier next to him poked him with his elbow, telling him not to say anything more.
They would all be in big trouble if he continued.
If they had won the battle they could just laugh at the Saint Divine Land for not having anyone except for a woman. That would have been a celebratory thing to do, but…
They had lost the battle!
The mention of a woman would make the situation look worse.
That basically meant that those soldiers were not even as good as a woman so they failed?
It was extremely stupid of him to mention that!
Hearing the word “woman”, Xuan Lin’s expression sank even more.
He glanced at the soldiers and sounded cold as he spoke. “Magical Monsters and so many soldiers are not even as good as a woman?”
The words had just been spoken, but he did not vent his anger.
He asked. “What did the woman in white look like?”
“She was too far away for me to see clearly. She looked good, but she had a red birthmark on her face, very scary.” The Right General added.
The woman in white had a red birthmark on her.
Xuan Lin seemed to have an idea about who she was.
He had met a woman when he visited the Saint Divine Land back then. He was standing right in front of her.
