Under the night sky, flames erupted all over Cuiqing City.
The sounds of gunfire, cannons, fighting, and cries...all mixed together with the stench of smoke and blood.
Yang Lingyue helped the severely injured Hua Donghan swiftly navigate through the alleys.
They witnessed the entire process of Cuiqing City's fall from beginning to end—
First, the City Defense Array was breached, then several gaps were blasted open in the city walls, and finally the invading forces stormed the city, while the inner defenders couldn't hold them back.
Yang Lingyue wanted to leave with Hua Donghan as soon as possible.
But the Eastern Border Army in Cuiqing City was still fighting, buying time for the civilians to evacuate.
So Hua Donghan wasn't willing to leave just yet:
"I can't hold Cuiqing City, I am powerless, but at least now, I can save a few more people."
She wouldn't leave, so Yang Lingyue didn't either.
