The night was gloomy, with biting winds slicing through the air,
two hundred li away, the Second Ring Golden Wall had already raised a faint golden glow barrier.
Behind the barrier, Zhao Sheng stood on the wall, flanked by rows of resolute Xinglong Dao Soldiers.
After a full day's agonizing wait, the people's emotions transformed from initial ecstasy and excitement to anticipation, then doubt, and finally at this moment, everyone could sense that the situation was markedly grim.
Then, a Zhao Family Elder quietly approached Zhao Sheng from behind and asked in a low voice, "Ancestor, the order has been issued! What do you think?"
Zhao Sheng nodded, his gaze fixed on the Abyss Battlefield hundreds of li away, he casually asked, "Hmm, by when does the order say we must depart at the latest?"
"We can delay for at most an hour. Any later, and military law will take its course."
"Then let's set off an hour from now. Inform everyone,
and additionally, have everyone prepare early."
