The atmosphere in North City became increasingly oppressive as the dark clouds of war hung over its skies.
After the North Prince Mansion issued the notice of "clearing the countryside and strengthening the walls", the people of Great Xia gained a new understanding of the North Prince.
Nobody had expected the North Prince to actually consider leading thirty thousand soldiers to a decisive death battle against the three hundred thousand cavalry of the Barbarian Tribe in Yan County.
The North Prince, once considered uneducated, lecherous, and incompetent, suddenly stood up, a fact that astonished the people of Great Xia, especially those officials at court.
People could not help but wonder if the North Prince truly was prepared to fight to the death for North City.
That's three hundred thousand cavalry!
How could thirty thousand possibly hold them off?
Could it be that the uneducated, lecherous, and incompetent North Prince actually possessed great integrity?
