RIN

Chapter 66

"Looks like everything was completed thoroughly." Manchu smiled. "Our head forces went through the Eastern Empire's bordering province and are on their way toward the capital. And the new set of weapons arrived yesterday. "

"That's good," An Sun calmly responded.

Standing in the front of his tent with arms crossed over his armored chest, An Sun quietly glimpses ahead at the stone snow coated mountains ahead.

"What's your report on their captain?" His deep husky voice sounded.

Standing behind him with a scroll in his hand, Manchu helplessly smiles while looking at the report.

"Captain Bai Lan, a grandson of the Bai household; however, until recently, no word of someone with the name Bai Lan entered the family. He's played various parts in battles with the Bai army for the past two years but has hardly made any appearances until a month ago when he was sent to aid Tao Guozhi and his men." Manchu reads the official report on Bai Lan. "All tactics are from him as well, he holds the majority of control over the Guando army."

After Manchu ended the report, An Sun remains soundless.

Several strands of silk black hair gently caressed An Sun's handsome face as the frosty air gently whisked through the air and his silver mask concealing his eyes from sight.

"A member of the Bai huh?" An Sun's crescent eyes divinely revealed a faint glint, his red lips arching upward. "Let's keep that Captain Bai alive."

"Oh?" Manchu, now standing beside the man arched a brow amusingly. "That's the first. You're regularly so keen on spreading as much blood as you can."

With the corners of his mouth still arched up in a smile, An Sun lowly chuckles. "I believe he'll be a valuable asset to our army, particularly with tactics like his."

"I thought you said they were pathetic?"

Calmly glancing to the side, An Sun's sinister smile expands even further.

"They are, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. His tactics are nevertheless admirable."

Looking intently at the man beside him, Manchu delivers a cunning smile.

"You're right."

Grunting in response, An Sun begins to walk away from the tent and toward the center of the camp where his noble horse stood.

Ascending onto it effortlessly, An Sun's dark gray eyes hidden behind his mask reflect a trace of murderous killing intent.

A frivolous smile spread across his scarlet lips.

Behind him was a full army of men in armor mounted on their horses, Manchu mounted beside him.

"Let's take down Guando province!"

...

"Cough! Cough!" Rin lightly releases a few mild coughs, her blue cloak fluttering behind her in the frosty background.

The Tuhan's men were arriving, and her grandfather was fighting out in the Eastern Empire's capital.

All situations were troubling, but Rin knew she had to focus on one for the time being.

And that was strengthening their defenses and securing the city walls.

The sound of Rin's footsteps in the snow sounded as she walked toward the soldiers disposing of the deceased bodies from their previous battle in front of the city walls.
