Bab 417: Chapter 53

Mountains and rivers interweave, every turn treacherous or perilous.

Two rapid rivers like silver snakes merged into one, and the earth fortress of the Herders was built on the high ground at the confluence.

When the baggage train first arrived at the great camp, Major Bello of the legion's intelligence unit took the officers to observe the enemy.

Bello led everyone to cautiously stay half a kilometer away from the city walls.

The distant earth fortress, apart from appearing slightly crude, seemed no different from common fortresses.

The earth fortress was situated higher than the surrounding area, keeping its internal movements hidden from outsiders, who could only see figures moving along the walls.

Smoke curled up into the sky above the city, as if fires were being made for cooking.

Major Bello pointed toward the wall with his riding crop, "Gentlemen, that there is 'Bianli'."

"Bianli? What does that mean?" asked Colonel Jeska.
