Chapter 344 Night Ambush

That way, she would be able to avoid battle before reaching the headquarter, making them in the best situation.

But of course, that was only an 'if.'

"Go to rest now."

"Yes."

There were only a portion of reserve soldiers who were in charge of night duty. After all, they had to stay alert at any time to make sure that they would not be at disadvantage. However, after obtaining such a big win, the soldiers were all in happy mood.

They were chatting with each other while doing their night duty.

Nan Hua was still staying inside the same tent with Nan Luo. The separate room worked the best, allowing her to stay close with the other three.

Tep!

In the middle of the night, Nan Hua's eyes opened as she jumped down the bed. There was a faint sense of crisis, so she rushed out of the room and moved to her twin brother's bed. She shook him awake.

"Mhm?"

"Luo, there are soldiers nearby."

Nan Luo, who was previously still sleeping deeply, immediately jolted awake when he heard that. He looked at this twin sister, who was wearing the same robe as him. In fact, all four of them were wearing the same type of clothes: brown robe that could be used at both days and night.

It was impossible for them to change into their usual night clothes at this place.

"Nan…."

"Wear this."

Looking at the mask, Nan Luo nodded and quickly stood up to the other side. He took a deep breath before walking towards Feng Ao Kuai's bed. "Young Master Kuai, wake up."

Feng Ao Kuai blinked his eyes. He looked at Nan Luo in suspicion but still sat up. Upon seeing Nan Hua was standing near the entrance of their tent with her sword ready, he quickly took his own sword.

"Wake Older Brother. I'll go out to scout."

"Ok."

Nan Luo was obviously not used to act as a servant, but he still moved to Feng Ao Si's bed and wake him up. Feng Ao Si was even more stumped but he was also cautious as he moved to the entrance of the tent and looked out.

It was very silent, with only some chatters from the soldiers on night duty.

"Are you sure that there are soldiers?" Feng Ao Si was skeptical. He didn't like being disturbed from his sleep, but it would be better to be safe than sorry.

Feng Ao Kuai didn't sense anything, so he looked at Nan Hua. "What do you sense?"

"A lot of people approaching."

Nan Hua furrowed her eyebrows. Should she alert the others or should she just ask a portion of the soldiers to make a move? It would take time and it was precisely time that they didn't have.

"I'll wake my soldiers up." Feng Ao Si rushed out and headed to his adjudant's tent.

"Nan, stay close to Cousin Ao Kuai." Nan Hua looked at her twin brother. "I'll check out the condition."

"Be careful."

Feng Ao Kuai alerted his servants and then searched for a nearby tree… there was no tree nearby. He looked at the carriage and quickly climbed up before lying on top of the carriage with his bow and arrow ready.

Beside the carriage, Nan Luo stood with his sword ready. He used the cover of the carriage to make sure that his body was covered.

Swish!

Running in the middle of darkness, Nan Hua was fast as she reached the war drum. Her eyes landed on the frontline as she saw the soldiers from the shadow making a move. The corner of her lips curled up to form a mocking smile.

They were terrible as assassin.

Even from a distance away, she could sense their bloodlust.

Tep!

Nan Hua abruptly turned around when she sensed someone coming close. Her eyes widened when she saw a man in his early twenties crouching not far from her. He was stunned but quickly cupped his fist.

"Long Xu, 100 men commander from Young Commander Long's army."

Nan Hua then cupped her fist in suit. "Nan Luo, a reserve soldier coming here for practice."

Nan?

Long Xu immediately understood that the young child in front of him was here for training based on his age. He looked at the war drum nearby and the position of 'Nan Luo' before he came to realization.

The young boy was watching the enemies and planned to alert everyone by using the war drum.

"Young Commander Long has known?" Nan Hua asked.

Long Xu nodded. "Yes, Young Commander Long asked for me to alert everyone the moment the enemies passed the line and enter the line of sight."

"I see."

It seemed that Nan Hua was acting unnecessarily.

She berated herself internally because she should have known that the other soldiers must have already made their preparation. Her coming here was totally unnecessary.

"Please excuse me, Young Master Nan."

Because Nan Luo was not really a soldier yet, Long Xu didn't greet him with the word soldier. This was not exactly the place for a kid but some soldiers in training would occasionally come here.

Especially if they were from influential family.

Long Xu looked at the row of enemy soldiers approaching and waited for the right time. When they were about to attack, he stood up and punched the war drum.

Looking at him, Nan Hua was speechless.

She then took the stick and used it to hit the war drum from the side. She didn't understand why this commander couldn't even think of using the helpful tool that was readily available.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The sound alerted almost everyone in the camp. The soldiers who were still sleeping immediately jolted awake and the soldiers on duty, who were still chatting, quickly readied their sword.

Clang! Slash! Clang!

Some lucky ones managed to parry or block the attack from the enemy soldiers. But some unfortunate ones failed to react in time and got eliminated quickly.

"Gaaaaaaa!"

"UOo!"

It was destined to be a sleepless night.
