"General, where are you? Please, don't let us die this way." He struggled inside after not seeing the general or anyone from the capital to support them. His mind drifted, thinking the king might have neglected and sacrificed them by choosing the richer Ninpu City to protect. He threw a punch on the wall, hoping what he suspected wasn't true.
