Jincheng has fallen!
Upon hearing this news, the expressions of the few people present did not change significantly. Dongyang and Nangong Yu, in particular, knew that Jincheng was defended by only 12,000 soldiers of the Black Tiger Army. Against 120,000 members of the Barbarian Clan, this force was insufficient, so its fall was to be expected.
If it were merely the fall of Jincheng, the news wouldn't be considered too severe. However, seeing the officer had more to say and hadn't finished, no one interrupted him hastily.
"Jincheng has fallen, and General Chu Ding led thousands of the Black Tiger Army to break through. Behind them, Shen Changqing of the Demon-Subduing Division covered their retreat—"
The officer continued to kneel on one knee, reporting the news.
"Wait!" Dongyang interrupted him.
"You're saying the Black Tiger Army retreated, and people from the Demon-Subduing Division stayed to cover their retreat?"
