Bab 325: Chapter 262 Life is as Frail as Grass_1

```

"Kill!"

A horde of barbarian soldiers roared, spurring their fierce mounts forward in a charge towards Yongxue City.

Upon the city walls of Yongxue City, row after row of Xuan Iron soldiers clad in armor eyed the enemy with sharp gazes. Despite many being wounded and bandaged, not a single face lacked resolve, and no one showed any sign of fear.

In fact, when initially faced with the combined onslaught of the barbarian horde and the demonic cult's grandmasters, tens of thousands of Xuan Iron soldiers, in their determination to save the Marquis of Pingxi, acted as human shields and gambled with their own lives in a selfless display of bravery. It was because of this that the Xuan Iron army suffered grievous losses.

This indeed was a rare and formidable force; the formidable enemy at their gates and the grim situation did not dampen their morale. Each soldier of the Xuan Iron army exuded a fierce will to fight, with not the slightest intention of retreat.
