The crescent moon hung in the indigo night sky, a few scattered stars following the wailing night wind, dispersing the clouds across the sky.
Moonlight shone over the entire High Castle City, draping the layered towers in a thin veil of white.
The river rushed in the darkness, and on the hill, the red flag with the Golden Finch Badge representing Prince Kongdai coincided perfectly with the Hemashi Stone Army's banner on the distant city walls.
Behind this banner was an open leather tent, where all the high-ranking nobles and high-tier knights for this siege on High Castle City were gathered.
They huddled together, shoulder to shoulder and forehead to the back of the head, so tightly packed that no one dared to speak, quieter than quails.
At the front of the tent, a giant nearly two meters tall sat in a velvet wooden chair.
He lowered his head, clutching tightly in his hands a letter decorated with gold lacquer and peacock feathers.
