Change Of Plans

On a rough mountain road, a long zigzag line of soldiers arm to the teeth are currently marching at a steady speed with cavalry in the front, shield infantry, spearmen, and heavy glaive infantry in the middle while archers are stationed in the back.

In between the soldiers are also carriages that is carrying the army provisions. In the front of this army is Lu Liang riding on red demon only offspring which he named 'Inferno' due to its deep red color.

Next to him on the left is beauty fully armored and fang following behind her, surprisingly Gu Liang was with him as well saying that he have to deliver supplies to the frontline but Gu Liang decided to stay on the right side of Lu Liang far away from beauty. What happened back at camp greatly dramatized him.

Looking at his uncle Lu Liang chuckle and said "Uncle Gu, beauty only scare you a little bit so why are you being like that? You are the one who try to attack her in the first place."

Gu Liang lips start to twitched violently hearing Lu Liang words as he replied in an angry voice "I was trying to save you! And what you mean just a little scare!? I seriously thought that for a moment in time I actually saw the ancestors welcoming me to the afterlife…."

"hahaha, I still remembered how you drop your weapon and your legs turn to jelly the moment beauty stop in front of you to let out a roar." Laughing loudly Lu Liang decided to remind Gu Liang again as to what happened.

The soldiers behind them also sneak in a laugh or two, even beauty who can somewhat understand what they are saying look at Gu Liang with disdain because they have witness the whole scene where Gu Liang was being very valiant while defending in front of Lu Liang but the moment beauty reach them and let out one of her terrifying roars Gu Liang figure of a hero disappear into thin air.

"Hmmp!" the entire face of Gu Liang is now red from embarrassment as he begin to ignore Lu Liang.

"Growl!"

"Hmmm?" Lu Liang wasn't about to let Gu Liang off that easy since this chance won't come often but suddenly beauty who have been by his side ever since the army started to move out was quite the majority of the time but now she is growling at something ahead which catch Lu Liang attention.

Concentrating his sight ahead Lu Liang noticed a lone messenger rider with the Liang clan flag on his back is heading towards them in a fast speed. Waving his hands Lu Liang immediately spoke up in a loud voice "all unit halt!"

"Halt!" the officers continue to pass down the command to the rest of the soldiers in lighting speed and the entire army have come to a complete stop.

Unlike Lu Liang, the messenger have spotted them a long time ago and recognize who they are due to the smoke trail that the soldiers and carriages are making along with giant banners that have the unit name written on it, with loud laughter's coming from Lu Liang direction as well so the messenger decided to hurried over.

Once the messenger got neared Lu Liang, the horse refused to move any closer and also the messenger face became pale due to beauty presence. Seeing the messenger predicament Lu Liang said "you can report from where you are, don't force yourself."

Getting the young lord permission the messenger got off his horse right away but didn't forget to have one hand on its reign otherwise the horse would have run off by now. Drop down on one knee the messenger reported.

"Young lord, I bring news from the frontline. His lordship your father have retreated back to the second defense line after what General Tuong Liang discover from infiltrating the enemy camp. There seems to be a big fight and General Tuong Liang got injured in the process but it good that they manage to escape the enemy encirclement. Lastly, there have been reports of the enemy starting to move towards Liang pass and over it to the second defense line so we need young master to hurry over and further support the effort."

'It's good that father and the old masochist manage to escape with their lives but what interesting is the fact that the Pei Kingdom is moving all of their troops inside Liang territory.' Looking at the messenger Lu Liang went into deep thought.

Turning his attention back to the messenger Lu Liang need to confirm his theory "is the Pei Kingdom moving their entire imperial force pass Liang pass?"

"Yes young lord, it seems that they only leave a small regiment behind to cover their backs but the vast majority of them will be attacking the second defensive line." The messenger reply respectfully.

"Good, Good" Lu Liang eyes suddenly turn sharp after confirming it with the messenger report as he turn around towards his generals and pass down his orders.

"The Feilong Army will have to split up here."

"Yulun Rang and Xulan Liang, I need the both of you to lead your own unit of ten thousand strong men to aid my father and make haste with it. Also remind him to wait for my signal, once he see the signal then charge out."

"Dong Liang, Lanu Hongy, and Xaolan Sulon. The three of you together with your unit will continue to follow me along with the other twenty thousand men under me. We will take another path out of here and hit the enemy from behind!"
