Flowers Bloom from Battlefield 328 The Fall of the Last Kingdom

After Jun Hua had finished her story, Soujin rubbed her head, “What happens to the boys in the village?”

“I beat them up for good,” Jun Hua grinned.

Soujin already guessed it. He moved his eyes to Jun Hua left hand and take the arm before caressing it. The scar from protecting her younger brother was still there. The mark had turned faint, but Soujin could see it clearly.

From what Ming Hui told him, he found out about Jun Hua’s identity because of this wound. Indeed, this was the only wound that could be seen most easily compared with the wound on her shoulders. Remembering that incident, he felt bad because he was the reason she got that scar.

“The wound already heals. Maybe the scar will disappear in the future, you don’t have to worry,” Jun Hua smiled.

“Does your shoulder still hurt?”

“No, I got the wound a long time ago, there is no way the wound can still hurt now,” Jun Hua shook her head, “Are you worrying about my body full of scars?”

“I am,” Soujin admitted frankly.

Jun Hua felt her heart warmed at Soujin’s remark. However, she didn’t really care about the scar on her body because most of them would disappear. Although now she got a few scars that wouldn’t disappear, she didn’t think that it was something big.

“Why?”

When Jun Hua asked that question, Soujin couldn’t answer. He thought about it and couldn’t find the correct reason as to why he didn’t want her body to be filled with scars. On the second thought, certain thought appeared on his mind.

“I don’t want to see others mark on your body,” Soujin said as he hugged her even harder.

“Will you didn’t like me because of my scar?”

“No,” Soujin answered firmly.

Jun Hua nodded her head. She recalled their situation and asked a different question, “How about you? Can you return to the battlefield again?”

“I’m good,” Soujin nodded. “I heard that your condition is not that good, so you’re not allowed to fight on the frontline again.”

Jun Hua pouted when she heard him say that. However, she was very clear about her condition. Although it didn’t affect her movement too much, if her condition worsened again, she might not be able to live as usual. This was for her own good that she shouldn’t fight on the frontline again.

“I understand, but you have to be careful.”

Soujin smirked. “Who do you think you’re talking to? Don’t worry so much. The rest of the battle will be smoother.”

Jun Hua sighed at this man nonchalant shameless remark. She looked up to see his face. Inside his embrace, his face looked far closer.

Seeing her cute face, Soujin leaned slightly and planted a light kiss on her forehead. “I’ll be resting now. You should have some rest too.”

“Okay,” Jun Hua answered softly. She waited for him to fall asleep before walking out of the tent. The battle was not over yet.

For the next few weeks, Soujin led the battle and defeat Pan Kingdom through fully. The battle to conquer the capital was the top priority in his current list.

…

Pan Kingdom Capital

Hearing the report about the battle of Ye Jiu, the Emperor closed his eyes. He should have expected this to happen. The ability of Soujin was certainly not one to be looked down upon and now, there was simply no one who could contend against the young general anymore.

The officials were all holding their breath. They didn’t dare to interrupt their emperor in his thinking. Normal people would fall into despair after hearing such bad news, but the emperor stayed silent and closed his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

“Where is Ye Tian?” the emperor finally asked.

“To answer Your Highness, the crown prince is staying in his residence.”

The emperor nodded his head. This prince may be useless, but he was still his son. Tapping his hand on the chair, he opened his mouth and gave the edict.

“Take the crown prince to save place and defend the city. I will personally fight on the frontline.”

The emperor decision made the officials stunned, but they didn’t have anything they could do to fight on equal grounds with Soujin. Their last resort would only be fighting on sheer will alone.

“Your Highness, should we call Prince Ye Jiu back to fight with us?” one of the prime ministers asked hesitantly.

The Emperor shot him a glance, which made the prime minister felt his leg go soft. Although the Emperor hadn’t said anything, he had already regretted to open his mouth at such time.

The Emperor only swept a glance, but he didn’t answer. There was simply no answer for this question as he was sure that Ye Jiu already abandoned him. As an uncle, he might feel slight disappointment, but as the Emperor, he knew very well that they had no chance.

Based on the report, he knew that Ye Jiu was wounded badly, and he was being pushed back continuously. Although the prince had said that the second undefeated general has returned, how come a person came from the death? He thought that this prince was toying with him, though he did feel suspicious.

The armies from Soujin’s side are already coming to their gate. Standing up, he looked towards the minister from above.

“The war has started.”

With the Emperor appearance on the frontline, the soldier’s morale was boosted. However, they were simply no match for Soujin’s army power. With their disadvantages, it only took them a few days for the downfall of the capital and the Emperor was captured.

The Emperor sighed as he saw the soldiers from enemy’s side overrun the city. He had lost. There was no need for him to fight anymore. His eyes looked straight to the setting sun faraway on the West. The glorious Pan Kingdom is no more. It ended during the time of his rule. What a disgrace. A great kingdom with decades of history ended in mere months at the hand of a newly risen kingdom.
