The man above gazed down at Gu Chaoyan with an air of pride.
In this moment, he held the power to defend the city, and those below were under his command, awaiting his orders. If he chose to open the gates, they could enter; if not, the people below had no choice but to battle outside until their last breath on the battlefield.
He wielded control over their lives.
Courtesy was not a concern for this unwelcoming host; it was his affair, not the business of those below.
Thus, he had the audacity to display such arrogance.
With a disdainful expression, he surveyed the people below.
Gu Chaoyan, disapproving, rose and approached the wall. She yanked the man down and tossed him out of the gate. While allowing her men to enter, she intentionally excluded the general.
She left him isolated outside the city gate.
Looking down on him with a mocking smile, Gu Chaoyan declared, "I'll let you savor this."
