General Hen doesn't want to believe what he sees. Even the other commanders feel the same way with him. They see clearly, a young man in his teens fighting against General Tou head on without the slightest disadvantages. Those who have experience the power from General Tou beforehand feels even more dejected.
"The Ming Kingdom is truly flourished with talent."
General Hen remembers the meeting their king had. The other party had mentioned that Ming Kingdom is still growing, but they have grown even more powerful than the other kingdom. If they didn't do anything to stop them, they would all soon lose their footing towards Ming Kingdom.
Seeing that young general before them fighting against that big general, only one word can describe him: Monster. Just saying that the Ming Kingdom is filled with talent is not enough, it's more correct to say that they have been grooming a monster. What kind of environment could make a little boy that strong? And how many people like him among the Ming Kingdom?
General Hen remembers the word of their princess once again. The battle is meaningless and they would only throw the lives of their citizen should they continue. Now he truly thinks that the princess is correct. With such a monster leading the whole army, how could they expect to win the battle? Could they sacrifice their great general? No one would feel that it's worth it, even General Hen knows that it doesn't.
"General, who is he?" the lieutenant asks in doubt. That boy age is only about his son, but the fighting prowess is terrifying.
"General Jun Min of Ming Kingdom," General Hen answered. He got the feeling that this one person can change the whole battle with his appearance. They hadn't heard about him during this few months, but they know that before, there's a general named Jun Min who achieved big in this area.
From now on, the name of Jun Min will be etched on their minds deeply.
As the battle continues, the sun started to set once more. Jun Min is highly tired and his body is riddled with wounds, but he still stands before the great general. The blood has plastered all over his body and it makes him looks scary, but his clear eyes are still looking towards General Tou with determination.
"General Jun Min, you're highly talented," General Tou had to admit that the last time there is anyone who manages to wound him is his peers. Now there is someone among the younger generation who could match him completely.
"Thank you General Tou. You're really strong," Jun Min grinned. He knows that his uncle will berate him once he returns, but he doesn't care. The fight just now had brought him to the door of death countless times and he feels that he's highly tired, but there is no way he would give up. Just from that fight alone, he knows that his movement has become better even if the progress is tiny.
"Of course I'm strong. Who do you think I am?" General Tou laughed.
Jun Min feels that every old man he meets is shameless. Is it because they have reached the end of their lives that they turned shameless? Don't tell him that it's just because it has been etched on their bones. He feels highly conflicted.
"Should we continue our battle tomorrow?" Jun Min grinned.
General Tou looks towards the body of Jun Min who full of the wounds. Given that he had given the young boy the entire wounds by himself he knows that it must be deep. Despite his ego of wanting to fight with the young man again, he doesn't feel like doing it anymore. The soldier he had lost just from three battles nearly amounted to 1/3 of his total soldiers. The Mountain Kingdom might lose their whole army if this continues.
"No, we have lost."
"General!" the soldiers in the surrounding exclaimed.
Jun Min also raised his eyebrows. Why this general would suddenly announces his lost? They have just begun the fight, right?
"Are the soldiers here is the elites?"
Jun Min looks towards his soldier. They come from his own squad, so he knows that they have undergone a rough training under him. Although they are divided into 10 squads with each of them has their own strength and weakness, it could be said that they are indeed the elites of her soldiers.
"Yes, they are my soldiers," Jun Min answered.
General Tou had seen yesterday that even without Jun Min personally killed the soldiers, they are all an elite that capable of fighting a few soldiers at once. Their fighting strength is abnormal and their numbers are even more so. How could you train a close to 40.000 soldiers' to be elite? He knows that the person before him is a great general despite having only reached the general rank.
He feels awe towards this young man and for their ambition of annihilating the Ming Kingdom? It can't be done without defeating the person before him.
"You're a great person Jun Min. The Mountain Kingdom will forfeit the battle. May the Heaven bless you."
"Thank you General Tou," Jun Min watched General Tou walking away leading the soldiers from the Mountain Kingdom away. He turned his back and mounted his horse.
"The first battle is our victory!"
The cries of the soldiers overwhelmed the whole places.
After Jun Min returned to the wall, Jun Qing eyes nearly popped out and he quickly calls his personal doctor to check on Jun Min. It took them some time to finish cleaning up the entire wound and give Jun Min the medicine he needs.
"Uncle, you don't need to look so depressed. We have won the war," Jun Min grinned.
"You're not allowed to go from this place until you're healed! How many times do I have to tell you that you have to take care of your body?" Jun Qing feels helpless when facing this little kid. He's clearly a girl, but he just do anything like a boy does and even wounded himself so badly.
Thankfully, most of them are not too deep to the point of leaving a scar and with medicine and time, they would be healed perfectly. The problem is just they're numerous. He needs to rest and didn't make big movement for some time.
"General Tou is strong," Jun Min answered. "Anyway, now that we have won the war, I want to have some sleep. I'm still sleep deprived from the journey."
"Sleep then, don't think about the other matters and let your uncle handle them," Jun Qing goes out from his niece room and looks towards the 12 people standing there, the Dark Squad. "Why are you standing here? Go back to your post."
The 12 of them didn't move from their place. They only receive order from one person, Jun Min.
"Return to your post. Yamin stay to protect me," Jun Min's voice can be heard from inside.
"Yes Young Master."
They have been trained to call Jun Min 'Young Master' during his time as soldier to avoid suspicion. After receiving order, they turned and go away. Jun Qing shakes his head and returned to his post.
