Two days later.
Despite Hemen County's resolute resistance, the city still fell.
The county magistrate immolated himself in the county government office, leaving not a single survivor in his family.
County Government Office.
Amidst the pitch-black ruins still faintly emitting wisp of blue smoke.
Tang Xun, covered in blood, watched as one corpse after another was carried out of the government office and sighed, "Why go to such lengths?"
"Nothing more than a futile last stand. Every dynasty has had its share of such foolishly loyal people..."
Aaron let out a cold laugh and asked, "How are our losses?"
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, we killed eight hundred of the enemy and lost more than two thousand of our own..."
"Not bad, not bad. Considering an average exchange rate of five to one for defending the city, this is indeed a good fight." Aaron couldn't help but feel quite satisfied with the combat effectiveness of the Six Jia Divine Soldiers.
