章節 176: Xilai

Siege of Yushan Jia's Notes :

The woods around us are silent. Do monsters mourn? The day before yesterday, Young Master won a great victory over the Enemy. He led most of the company south, where Master Jin had located a convoy approaching us. It was a hard hit, but the Young Master and our group ambushed the enemy from the rear and annihilated them. The Young Master believes we killed upwards of five hundred of the enemy, including four great monsters, to wit, three great Stone Demonic Trolls and a Demonic Behemoth. The men say the Young Master's Dao protector killed the Behemoth himself, and that it was the greatest feat of battle they had ever seen. Yesterday, the group stood alert all day, waiting for attacks that never came. Warriors slept at their posts, fully armed. Many farmers and several pavilion elders say this will be the end of the siege—that the enemy will slink away. The Pavilion Mistress has called a meeting of all the members.
