The Great Princess of the Warlord
chapter 7

Two days' drive from the capital, the troops led by Gong Sheng had already traveled a third of the way to the border. When entering a forest that is quite lush, a very suitable place for them to rest because in the forest there must be a source of water that they can take for them to take on a brand trip to the border later.

The distance traveled to get to the border was seven more days if they took up a lot of places to rest. This time Gong Sheng as the warlord of Ri Yue's forces only brought a quarter of the total number of his entire army. Not to underestimate but indeed the number of pirates is not too much.

" Comb this place first. Once it feels safe enough for you to build a tent for us to rest tonight." orders gong Sheng.

Some of his troops began to comb the place with a distance of lim hundred meters with their current position. Before long the departing troops saw the situation around their positions had already returned. Some report seeing water sources whose water is very clear, they can use for their water supply selma trip.

" command some arrows to find us some groceries for tonight" Gong Sheng told one of his team leaders..

" well my lord." When the team went to order the arrow troops under his leadership to hunt some antelope to be their meal tonight.

Gong Sheng divided his troops into several teams that had their respective duties. There are those who build tents for resting places, some are looking for water and food, some are standing guard around their campsites.

This team will do their duty as long as they are still in their resting area. As troops who have many times plunged into the battlefield, they are used to living what they are doing now. Gong Sheng was a wise leader and took great care of all his troops.

The army led by the 5th prince five already has many achievements gained when they managed to win the war. They were all also famous for being very solid and also having abilities that were above average troops in general.

The Ri Yue troops led by Gong Sheng had a personnel count of up to two thousand people. The troops were specially handpicked by Gong Sheng to avoid any enemy spies.

" My lord, we've brought some hunted animals" reported a member of Gong Sheng's army.

" Make the troops in charge of cooking for now also make your quarry a dish." said Gong Sheng.

" Good sir."

Although some members of his army had already combed through this place, but Gong Sheng still felt that there was something strange about this forest. The feeling is a little unpleasant when you find this great forest there is not a single wild animal.

This forest is also too quiet if it is called a forest that has never been touched by humans.

He who had often rested with his troops in the forest could even realize that something was wrong was going on in this forest. Gong Sheng would plan to lure something suspicious out of his hiding place later that night.

His eagle eyes continued to look at every angle that could reach the limit of his eyes. Maybe someone was stalking them from a distance. Gong Sheng could see that all of his troops were very excited about their task this time around. At least now GOng Sheng must be mediocre so as not to provoke suspicion of his opponent.

" You fill your stomach after that you enter your respective tents. I will give you a written order for our next move." said Gong Sheng.

" Is there something bad going on, my lord?"

" Hem." replied Gong Sheng casually just cleared his throat.

One of the members of his army that he had given the order immediately relayed it all to the other troops. Just like his master said. Without making any suspicious movements all the troops of the 5th prince began to eat their food and separately began to enter their respective tents.

In their tent there was already a written command of the gong sheng that contained that they should pretend to be asleep and turn off all the lighting from each of their tents. The paper also states that there will be an attack when the night is late.

" All the troops have carried out your orders sir." reported one of the eight teams present in Gong Sheng's army.

" You all stand guard by forming a circling position around this place of ours. If there is any sign of the invading forces immediately send a signal to all our troops." said Gong Sheng.

" well sir."

" Make the condition of our resting place as quiet as possible so that you can also hear if something bad comes to us. Prepare the weapons beside you, I don't want you to fall asleep and get hurt in the war " Gong Sheng said. His men bowed to pay respect to Gong Sheng and then proceeded to carry out the orders of his leadership.

As a warlord, strategizing was not difficult for him. He who has above average intelligence also because of his experience during this time made him a commander who was able to give victory to his dynasty. The little Gong Sheng was so very enthusiastic about warfare, strategy and strength. Moreover, his interest was supported if he became a disciple of Feng Yong, a war general who belonged to the Xili dynasty.

With every war in the Xili dynasty, Gong Sheng's troops always returned home with the pride they got from the battlefield. The name of the Ri Yue troops had even been heard in the three dynasties whose regions surrounded the Xili dynasty.

Gong sheng was cross-legged in his tent which was special only to him. Although often he said that he did not mind when he had to one tent with his troops. But the basic Gong Sheng troops who were so respectful and disinclined with their leader made them not dare to act presumptuously by sleeping one tent with their leader.

Although his eyes were closed but Gong Sheng's ears did not stop to absorb the sound even though it was a very soft sound. It requires high concentration if it wants to do as Gong Sheng did.

There began to be the sound of small animals in the forest. The sound of the jiga owl had already started to come out. As his closed eyes caught a slightly changed light as the moon was covered in clouds, from the direction to his right, Gong Sheng began to feel the clattering of human feet but was overwhelming.
