บท 616: Time

This was the most boring day of the Tournament of the Royal Court. The various competitions were still rich and wonderful, the fight of the warrior contest was as bloody as ever, but none of these events were enough to attract the audience's enthusiasm. Even the busiest trading area was deserted. Everyone was talking about the siege in the northern forbidden zone.

The most exaggerated rumor was that the old Khan had set up a tight encirclement and the forbidden zone had already become a bloodbath. More than a hundred thousand people of the Central Plains had been killed and the corpses piled even higher than the mountains. Many people actually ran to the river near the forbidden zone and thought that they could see blood-red water and towering mountains of corpses but they only received great disappointment.
