The rain grew heavier, its drops drumming against the ground with a sound that merged into a continuous roar.
Gradually, a curtain of rain seemed to connect heaven and earth. A faint layer of mist began to rise from the ground, suffusing the downpour.
The Qin Family's gatekeeper had been promoted for his bravery, but he still stood watch at the gatehouse. After all, guarding the main gate of the Qin Family was a post not just anyone could hold.
The gatekeeper saw the three companies of Knights standing outside, letting the rain soak them, and froze for a moment. He was just wondering whether he should report this when he noticed something shocking. The three hundred-plus men and their warhorses began to advance in perfect unison. The sound of their steps cut through the downpour, creating a staggering impact.
They were assuming a charge formation, aimed straight at the Qin Family's gate!
