On the night of the next day, a loud horn sounded from the south of the canal, and hundreds of large ships appeared above the canal, bringing with them the fierce Moye warriors armed with long swords and two headed axes.
The enemy was at the city gates.
Gu Yuze sat in the hall, surrounded by attendants who stood with their heads bowed. The atmosphere was heavy and stagnant.
But he remained as calm as ever.
"Where is the general?" He asked his attendants.
"Your Highness." One of the men moved forward but Gu Yuze furrowed his brow.
"Call me Daren here." He was no longer the fifth prince.
"Daren. The general has called a meeting with his subordinates."
"Send the soldiers guarding the mansion to the city gates."
"Daren. Your safety takes precedence over the city."
Gu Yuze felt some kind of discontent when he heard of this. Him? That just felt wrong. He frowned.
