The following day, a shocking announcement that made everyone realize that war was inevitable moved through the citadel. Most people did not know what to think about the news, and a few felt that they needed to leave the citadel as soon as possible. This was not only those people not part of the Han tribe that felt like this. Even a few people in the Han tribe fell to cowardice and decided to flee the citadel.
Kai Syaoran did nothing to stop these people. In his understanding, deserters were the weakest links in any organization. It was best to get rid of them as soon as possible. About one thousand people from the Han tribe chose to flee in the darkness of night. That night, Kai Syaoran caught up with this group of people. They were passing through a ravine when Kai Syaoran appeared before them. He just stood there as they fell to their knees and begged for mercy. They pleaded for their lives and promised never to do anything like this in the future.
