The sky was falling, and by now, Liu Feng and Arad were almost at the first city which had been captured. They could see the city from where they were, and there were a lot of lights coming from there.
"Who is possibly staying in a city that has already been ransacked?", Liu Feng wondered out loud.
"Why not? They might not have any food, so they could be forced to live there.", Arad postulated.
"Well, we shall see.", Liu Feng smiled as he pulled up the reins, trying to get the horse to go faster.
"That horse is tired. Exhausted. He has been running for almost five hours, six hours non stop, after the last break. It cannot go any faster. I suggest that you do not push him too hard. He has served you well, and he does not deserve any more pain.", Arad said softly.
Hearing this, Liu Feng pulled on the reins and the horse slowed to a crawl. The horse was almost whimpering now.
