The next morning, Soujin give a long speech which is filled with murderous intent about how malicious the Kai Kingdom army. Their prince even dares to sneak attack at them and wounded Jun Min heavily. With his speech, the soldiers are all impatient to get revenge for Jun Min.
With that, the battle on the third day is even fiercer than the previous day. Jun Min, who hears the speech and watches the battle, feels that the result from today battle is better than the day before.
“It seems that my name is more useful compared with me leading them,” Jun Min joke a bit. Little did he know that in the future, people would say that the Jun family army is more formidable without Jun Min compared when he’s there. The soldiers are all more reckless in their charge as they hoped to take revenge for their general.
Jun Min looks towards the army of the Kai Kingdom. He noticed that their armies was more unify compared with yesterday. It seems the loss of several commanders and their prince is making them even more careful and prudent.
“Give me my bow and arrow.”
Jun Min lips curved upwards. Despite his shoulder is still hurting a bit, he won’t allow them to get off lightly. The doctor told him that it was going to be alright and he’s only using them a bit. Firing his arrows slowly, one by one the enemies’ commanders are falling down. If they are being that shameless, then he too can do it.
By the time the third day battle is over, Jun Min had killed several military officials despite only sitting on a chair on the wall.
“Your skill is something,” Soujin said as he returned. His body is riddled with wounds again, but he looks mostly alright. His expression is clearly excited albeit tired. The fight with General Wei must have left him in good mood.
“Thank you,” Jun Min grinned. When they first learned about him learning sword on a training hall in the village, they don’t agree with him only using the sword. Under their insistence, he had to learn how to use bow until he’s proficient with it. Because of that, he can use both bow and sword according to his needs.
“How’s your shoulder?”
“It’s still hurt, but I can handle it,” Jun Min answered. “What is the number of causalities?”
“It’s higher than yesterday, but the number of enemies we manage to kill is more than yesterday too. In a sense, their fighting spirit is on the peak and they would do anything to avenge you.”
“I’m that popular?” Jun Min grinned.
“You’re liked by your soldier,” Soujin answered. “Tomorrow is going to be another fierce battle. If we keep this on, their soldiers will be chipped a lot and they might be forced to withdraw. Without sufficient army, they can’t battle to conquer the army in our cities.”
Jun Min nodded. “And, their losses are severe.”

With him adding additional damages to them from the wall, they should have expected that they won’t get any smooth ending. All of his arrows reaches their target and its precision is even scarier compared with their sixth prince.
“If they want to recover from these losses, they will need a long time,” Soujin also agreed.
The two chatted for a bit before resting. The next day, Soujin only rallied the soldiers for a bit before marching towards the enemy. Soujin once again battled with the great general while Jun Min stayed on the wall and fired his arrow occasionally when he found the right chances.
He had thought that the battle would last a long time with him having to use his wounded shoulder to fire the arrows continuously. However, his sharp sense tells him that the fight will be different.
Jun Min suddenly stood up. The soldiers around him are startled, especially when they look at the solemn expression on his face.
“Lan soldiers are coming… that thick blood thirst aura, it should be him,” Jun Min narrowed his eyes and turned to the left. There are soldiers pouring in and among them, one person stands out in his fierceness. He makes his way in completely ignoring his friends as he keeps on killing Pan Kingdom soldiers.
Jun Min had heard about him, but seeing that man directly makes him realize that this is a man who is very formidable. He’s sure, this man live is completely only about martial arts. Even he doesn’t have the confidence to defeat him if he’s the one facing him.
With Lan Ping and Lan Pan joining the fray, the battle soon turned to their sides. Despite Lan Ping feeling awfully dejected, he cannot change the fact that he had come here late and missed the battle with the other two people. Forget it. He would just do the most number of killings by using Lan Pan to the fullest.
General Wei knows that they would soon lose if things continue this way. With their soldier’s number already decreasing so much, he knows that the battle would undoubtedly turn pointless in the end. He stopped the battle with Soujin.
“Young man, it seems we cannot reach the conclusion of our fight today. Maybe in the future if we meet again.”
Soujin nodded. He respected this old general and willing to let him go as he too wanted to fight with General Wei once more.
“The winner usually states the terms, but ceases fire is enough,” Soujin said and put his sword away.
General Wei agreed, “May the Heaven bless you, General Soujin.”
Soujin nodded his head and lead the soldiers back while announcing their win in loud voice. With General We moving back, the entire battle is their won.
General Wei soon announces the retreat of their soldiers, which also means their defeat. Only the fourth prince is still adamant on continuing the battle. He cannot accept the fact that aside from losing two of his brothers, he’s still losing this fight.
“We will continue.”
“Fourth prince, continuing this battle would only cause us to lose even more soldiers. It’s time to return back.”
“But…!”
DZING!
It’s not that the prince is being hit, rather an arrow is passing beside his face, making his cheeks bleeding. The fourth prince looks towards the wall where a young man is standing with a bow on his hand. He stared coldly as if saying that if the fourth prince doesn’t retreat, the next one would land on his head.
Considering how far they are, the range of the bow from Jun Min is truly unbelievable. The fourth prince is terribly afraid because he remembers his brother.
“We will return back.” He quickly announces and moves his feet in fear.
On the top of the wall, one of the generals there cannot help but asks Jun Min. “Why don’t you kill him with that arrow?”
“My hand slipped,” Jun Min answered carelessly. The generals only partially believe it because of how precise his arrows before but even then, they need to accept it since it’s the explanation other party provided. Besides, with his wounded shoulder, who can claim that Jun Min is lying?
Jun Min doesn’t want to kill that prince yet, he’s still had another use for him in the future.
