What is he showing off for?
General Yinglong had always been straightforward. Seeing old General Yuguo’s actions this time, even with his usual recklessness, he could easily guess the underlying motive. Yet, as a military commander, one could hardly announce on the eve of battle that one simply wanted to go home and farm. So, Yinglong had opted to make a grand and flashy spectacle of his skills instead. He whipped up gales and summoned floods, bringing wind, rain, thunder, and lightning all into play. The display of force was dialed all the way up, looking utterly majestic—and to be fair, it had thrown Xiangliu and his forces into a chaotic spin.
