HRPM – Chapter 335 The Powerful Man

The last sentence was as light as dust, drifting away in the wind, and Jin Luoluo did not hear it.

“Alright, alright, I understand. You can’t go and hold them back, so you want me to stay here and keep you company. Poor Prince, I’ll reluctantly stay with you then!”

“…” Xiao Luo was speechless.

After about a quarter of an hour, Xiao Luo judged that the timing was right. He picked up his jade flute and placed it to his lips, playing a strange rhythm.

Immediately, torches lit up on the eastern hill. The soldiers shouted with imposing vigor, their voices shaking the heavens. The sheer momentum alone was enough to terrify anyone.

Lights gradually came on throughout the bandits’ stronghold. Shouts and the clashing of weapons echoed across the mountains. The number of bandits was considerable as well.

Soon, the gate at the eastern foot of the mountain opened. The piercing sounds of weapons colliding rang out continuously, accompanied by the agonized screams of the wounded, making the once-quiet mountains feel exceptionally bloody and brutal.

After fighting for nearly half an hour, a clear, high-pitched flute signal came from the east.

Xiao Luo knew that the eastern gate had been breached. He immediately played several notes, signaling the main force lying in ambush on the western side to begin their attack.

Very soon, a flute signal was returned from the west.

A satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Luo’s face. He knew that the bandits guarding the rear mountain had already gone to reinforce the western side. He then signaled Qinglong, who was waiting in ambush at the back of the mountain, to lead his men in and infiltrate the stronghold.

Jin Luoluo watched with her heart pounding. Although she was observing from a distance, the shock of witnessing a real battle was completely different from watching one on television.

The genuine battle cries.

The passionate determination of the soldiers as they fought the bandits.

Only by being there in person could one truly feel that stirring excitement.

“Your Highness, you’re amazing. I heard that you used to be a strategist on the front lines. It’s true—you’re exceptionally talented at winning through strategy. You coordinated all the forces perfectly and caught the enemy completely off guard, achieving the greatest victory with the fewest troops.”

Jin Luoluo was sincerely impressed. Although Xiao Luo was crippled, he was an extraordinarily capable cripple. It just proved that a thousand soldiers could not compare to a single brilliant mind.

People like him existed solely to highlight everyone else’s stupidity.

“Warfare is an art too. Winning beautifully is what makes it satisfying.”

Xiao Luo gazed toward the bandit stronghold across the mountain, estimating that within another half hour, the three forces would completely capture Panhu Mountain.

“Your Highness, it sounds like there are footsteps approaching from the back slope of our mountain.”
