Chapter 45: A Long Night

I was afraid…. Afraid of being hurt again that's why I kept myself away from those who loved me

When I first met my mother, I became quite amazed to know that she is quite overprotective of me. It was weird at first but as time passed and whenever I asked for help, she put all of her tasks away and helped me with my request

I killed those who tried to take my money away but in my heart, I always asked myself if it is worth it or not?

With the passing time, I interacted with Song Xia or my new mother more and more… I felt secure around her

A feeling that I longed for when I was a child back on earth

And then, I met my big sister Hao Tai

Actually, when I first met her I really had some weird thoughts because she is quite a beauty just like her mother.

It was my first time, so you can expect this much right?

The moment I met her, my feelings for her were somewhat weird… I don't know what it was but one thing was for sure that it is not some lust (it was only for a few seconds)

She can't walk…

Was it a pity?

No…

I just felt like she is someone worthy to believe

In truth, my age is much bigger than her as this is my 2nd life but still… after meeting her, I felt that I am a kid

But

When I fought with Grand Combatant, I came to know that… I can't leave my past

I cant…

Killing those servants…. Saying that I will use Hao Tai as a meat shield and everything else, was a lie. It was all a lie, a lie to myself… I lie to my inner self

And when death came at the door, I realized that it would have been better to be not attached to anyone

And before I knew it, my past came in front of me and took all over me

Present time in the border-

Dai Feng somewhat weird about the whole situation and started checking the records of people that visited the whole city

Hao Jiazhi had made some strict rule for the whole province, which includes the counting of people who came inside the province

Each person's name had been written on a book that tells who are they, where they came from, for how long they will stay, and what they have brought

And this record is kept with military base and a copy is kept on Governor's office

And after reading records of people coming in the province, what Dai Feng found was that there are not many people

There are a lot, but all of them are merchants and some rich figures that Dai Feng knows and have information about them

And the amounts of people that have come here for temporary stay are not that big

"You found anything?" Dai Feng asked Zi Jun

"Nope…. There are just peoples name that has come with big carts and etc" Zi Jun replied

Dai Feng nodded but then he realized something and asked about the people that have come with big objects

"There are a lot of people but all of them had come and left. Also, the time of their entrance is not that close as only a few people entered a month" Zi Jun replied

Still, Dai Feng asked for the book he is reading and started reading it and there he found it

"MAN….. Those people were planning for this very day for one whole year" Dai Feng said when he noticed that the entrance of people with big objects were around 100 and they entered 5-10 per month

All of them had some weird object that could be properly checked so all of them were allowed to enter

Dai Feng also noticed that the amount of enemy inside the whole province is either 100 or more than 100, which is small and is enough to divert their attention

But is it true that there are only a small number of enemies inside?

Zi Jun didn't understand the reason for his worry so he asked him, and he got his answer

"So, do we need to call our half military back?" Zi Jun asked

Dai Feng shacked his head and said "No… we can't as there could be a chance that there are more than 100 enemies inside the province"

At this Zi Jun said "But there is a chance that it is a trap and there is a large amount of force outside, waiting for the opportunity to attack"

Dai Feng nodded to his words and came out of the barrack and walked towards the border wall

Currently, they are facing 100 soldiers which is no doubt a small size but all those enemy soldiers have good defense formation, making it hard to kill them in a few move

While looking at the enemy Dai Feng said "It's a bet now…

If there is a large amount of enemy waiting to attack in this darkness (Don't forget, this place is mostly plain and because it's dark, a simple piece of black cloth is enough to hide anything)

Then all we have to do is send a signal to the military in the province and call them back

And just hold till they are back

But if we call them (military) now, there is a chance that the main army has long infiltrated.

So, we can only wait and see how things turn out.

Either we live to see the sunrise or die while seeing the moon

*looking at Zi Jun*

By the way, how many enemy soldiers your unit can hold?"

Zi Jun smiled and said "It doesn't matter how much, just tell us how long you want us to hold them"

Dai Feng started laughing and said "Damn, let's see if it's an only word or a true confidence from your skills"

Now, it's time to wait and see how things will unfold

"It's going to be one hell of a long night," Dai Feng said as he looks at the enemy soldiers shooting arrows at them

They haven't opened the border gate yet

"I'll tell my squad to stay at the gate side," Zi Jun said and left the place
