Up to this point, almost all the troops under Ye Shikai's command have been sent to the front lines. The majority of Man Cang's Iron Armor Army have marched under Huo Ziqing. Now even the cavalry unit has been deployed, and even his personal guard has been sent, except for a few close bodyguards. There is no force left in Linxiang City that he can mobilize.
"General, we have staked everything we have, these troops are all our old brothers. If General Huo, I mean if... if General Huo were defeated... then..."
"I know exactly what you want to say. If Huo Ziqing is truly defeated, then the army faces near certain doom." Ye Shikai gazed at the troops disappearing into the distance, speaking lightly. Dust arose, and there was a faint ominous premonition in his heart. Ba Shu was truly too far away, so far it was unsettling. Even with the swiftest horse couriers, eight hundred miles express, it would still take at least two days and a night.
