When this group of blood-soaked Jingnan Army soldiers charged over, the palace maids and eunuchs shrieked in terror.
"Stop right there! How dare you!" Zheng Fan shouted.
About ten Jingnan Army soldiers halted their steps, looking back at Zheng Fan. Their eyes were bloodshot; it was hard to tell if it was from being stained with too much blood. However, Zheng Fan knew they were on the verge of madness from excessive killing, nearly at the point of slaughtering anyone not on their side. This was a common phenomenon; even the most well-trained elites, once allowed to kill freely and immersed in it, often found it impossible to pull themselves back.
"The Lord's order: within the Elegant Garden, not even a chicken or dog shall be spared! Outside the Elegant Garden, not a single person is to be killed!"
