But at this moment, the cave was densely packed with soldiers clad in armor.
These soldiers gathered in groups of dozens, resting while barely maintaining basic vigilance. Upon close observation, their armor was marked and worn, some even had uncleaned blood stains, indicating to even the inexperienced that these soldiers must have gone through fierce battles previously.
In the center of the underground palace, a large boiler powered by spirit stones was working, with queues lined up beside it. Bowl after bowl of simply cooked Spirit Rice was scooped out by the Cook Soldiers and handed to the soldiers.
The military flag erected beside them was somewhat tattered, but the characters "Xuan Mountain" embroidered on it were faintly visible.
These soldiers, were indeed the Xuan Mountain Iron Cavalry that had been fleeing for a long time after their defeat.
