Chapter 163 – I Am Not A Hero!
The generals truly looked down upon the Wolf Army, even though it was the most famous force in the Northern Grassland.
It was full of laughter in the main camp.
The cruel and bloody battle outside the camp seed to be a funny ga to them.
As long as Commander Ye was here, the battle was just like a funny ga to them.
It didn’t threaten anyone at all.
However, sothing absonant happened.
The ssenger shouted outside the camp, “Lord Commander, an ergency letter from your family.”
Ye Nan-Tian frowned, “An ergency letter? Why now?”
The young grand archer, General Ma, was sitting outside the camp and he laughed, “Well get it in then. Our beloved commander hasn’t received anything from his family for half year already.”
He walked forward to the ssenger and walked back to the camp with stride. He ca to Ye Nan-Tian and showed him a letter on his hands, “Lord Commander, it is indeed an ergency. There is a blood clubs stamp.”
Ye Nan-Tian nodded blandly and got the letter. He unsealed it in the camp.
After just a glance, his face changed.
The calm and vigorous face suddenly beca pale like a paper.
His big and strong body began to tremble.
The generals realized sothing was wrong. [General Ye has always been calm like a mountain, how co he is acting like this?] They all stood up imdiately and asked anxiously, “Lord Commander, what happened?”
[Sothing big must have happened in his family that it could actually make our commander act like this.]
Ye Nan-Tian seed deaf. His hands shivered and the letter fell off.
A general with black beards grabbed the letter before it touched the floor. He put it close and read loudly, “Big brother, quickly return please. Xiao Xiao has been hit by the lting Bone Palm. His bones all beca like cotton. He is in vital danger. Please, co back to see him one last ti.”
He got stunned before he finished.
Everyone in the camp heard it.
The camp beca extrely silent.
They were all astonished.
The words were like endless thunders striking loudly upon everyone’s head. It stroke in their hearts. They felt their heads resounding bombs. They felt a bit dizzy. They just couldn’t believe what they had heard.
[Xiao Xiao is the commander’s only son.
Now he is in vital danger?
How co?]
Ye Nan-Tian was shaking. He clenched both of his hands.
At the sa ti, a purple glow started to appear on his body.
An extrely shocking vigor appeared and filled the camp.
The sword that was hunging on the wall suddenly ca out 15 cm from its sheath, shining in cold glow.
And then an enormous killing intent suddenly covered the entire grassland.
At the mont, it was like the sky was falling down.
The black-bearded general took a deep breath in and continued with the letter, “... The army of Hua-Yang departed and Xiao Xiao saw them off. The grandson of the Right Pri Minister, the son of the Revenue Minister, the son of the Rites Minister... Several foppish young lords ca and made troubles after the army was gone... Xiao Xiao returned to the house and suddenly spat blood and passed out. His bones were soft like cottons... It was obviously the lting Bone Palm... I reckon that it must be those foppish young lads who secretly assaulted...”
The black-bearded general couldn’t help shouting in anger when he read up here, “Fxck those political dogs. They have done nothing but make shxts all the ti.”
It was full of anger in the camp all of a sudden. Everybody’s eyes were red.
“A bunch of assholes! We are fighting with our lives in the frontline and they were having good days behind us. Fine, no problem. Yet they actually ssed with our families!”
“God damn it! How dare they actually hurt our young lord so bad. When I am back there, I am going to wipe out their clans!”
“Fxcking assholes!”
“We are splashing bloods here! Countless brothers died in the battle far from their families. Those bastards are enjoying the peace we made with our lives, yet they are actually bullying our families!”
“They are a bunch of sick bastards that are even worse than pigs and dogs!”
The generals were shouting in great anger.
Many concerning eyes were looking at the quiet Ye Nan-Tian.
[The Great General only has a son.
His son is all that his hopes rely on.
Now... his son is dying.]
“Lord Commander, go ho!”
“My lord, go ho quickly. The young lord needs you now.”
“Lord Commander!”
Ye Nan-Tian sighed and spoke in sorrow, “In my whole life, I have a clear conscience, with which I can face the sky and the earth fearlessly. Yet there is one person that I feel sorry to.
That is my wife.
My wife has been locked up till now for , for our son, and for our clan. I am a man, yet I am not able to suffer for her. I can’t save her. I am truly ashad.
Xiao Xiao’s life has been the only thing that she is concerned with.
So I care about my son the most. He has lost his mother since he was a baby, so I have tried my best to raise him...
That’s why I would sacrifice anything for my son... That is the ultimate cause of the current situation.
If I can’t even protect my Xiao Xiao, I...” Ye Nan-Tian took a deep breath and spoke coldly, “I don’t think I deserve to live in the world any longer!”
He turned around quietly looking at the sword on the wall.
He reached his hand gently and the sword and the sheath were in his hand.
“Country...” Ye Nan-Tian was in a pain and he murmured, “Where there is my country, there could be my ho. Where my ho exists is my country. Country and ho, which one is more important? My ho has been broken. Who is going to help
though?
Selfish?
Maybe I am selfish.
But... I am just a person with blood and flesh. I am a husband and a father.
I have to return.
It may leave
a disgraceful history, but I can’t care about that now.”
Ye Nan-Tian talked to them blandly with his back to them, “Please, brothers, you should continue the fight here. My mind is distracted. I cannot co up with any good plans though...
If my son dies, I will never co back.”
His eyes were cold looking at the air and said, “If my son dies, I will kill a lot of n in the capital for revenge.
Maybe I will co back and fight with you guys side by side, as long as my son is alright.
I am not a hero. I can’t be selfless.
I apologize, brothers.”
Right after he finished talking, his figure flashed and he instantly vanished without a trace.
A broad and bright sword light suddenly flashed in the sky and then disappeared.
The fierce killing intent that covered the entire grassland rapidly moved south.
Ye Nan-Tian left alone.
He didn’t even bring a trustful guard of his.
All the generals in the camp looked at each other without talking.
The leader in the north was gone.
The black-bearded general suddenly shouted, “How the hell can we just stand here doing nothing while our beloved commander’s family is in a misfortune! The 300 blood guards take the order! Hurry back to the capital imdiately and support the Great General. Follow every instruction of the Great General!”
“Yes.”
The 300 guards answered with a shout outside the camp at the sa ti.
The 300 blood guards were the best guarding force of Ye Nan-Tian. These guards were strong enough to get in and out from thousands of enemies safely. They were the best force of the northern army.
Ye Nan-Tian kept them here to help with the battle. However, the black-bearded general’s order made the 300 killing machines leave for the capital.
The next mont, a sharp voice sounded loudly, “Brothers! Follow ! To the capital for our commander!”
Within a short ti, it was full of the sound of horse steps outside the camp. The 300 blood guards, the most intimate troop of Ye Nan-Tian, left rapidly like a big mass of dark cloud.
They were marching south with flying dusts.
It was like a huge Chinese dragon, long and vigorous, moving on the land.
The generals felt a bit depressed watching the flying dust getting far away.
“If the young lord couldn’t make it... I am afraid the commander really will wipe the capital down...” One of them spoke worriedly.
Another guy humphed and said, “Wipe it down then! Those bastards deserve to die anyway! I hope none of them could escape! The only person I am worrying about is the commander... I wonder if he will ever return to the north.”
Everyone sighed.
The black-bearded general sighed, “You may not know this... The commander... He never belonged to our world. He should be from the upper realm above the sky... The reason why he stays here guarding the north is that he owe it to the king, because the king saved his son. If the young lord really couldn’t make it, there will be nothing that could hold him here in this world... Why should he return to the north then?”
Everyone was sad.
It ant they had just spent their last ti with their beloved commander.
“I usually hear people saying... that there was so hero who always care more about country than his own family. The hero’s parents died and he didn’t even go back ho and just kept busying himself with the war affair while holding his tears. It beca quite a moving story...” A young general sighed and spoke, “Well... I thought our commander may be the sa...”
“Bullshxt!” Another man shouted angrily, “That man didn’t even go back ho to see his parents even though his parents were dying! That made him a most disgusting animal! And it is a moving story huh? I am going to punch you down to death if you dare to say that again!”
“That’s just a story.” Another general humphed and spoke, “Let
ask you sothing. We fight so hard here, and for what?
For the safety of our country, surely. Yet if you spend your whole life in the army and you couldn’t even get a single damn piece of silver, will you still stay here? Will you? Of course you won’t. But why? You are here to protect your country aren’t you? What’s wrong with the silver then?
