The crushing defeat in the field opened the eyes of City Lord to the deplorable state of his men. Ikasa's words hammered the point home.
City Lord clenched and unclenched his fists as he battled with raging emotions.
He was angered by the sheer incompetence his men had displayed; Despaired by the fact that they were the best of his guards.
Interspersed in those negative emotions was a little relief. Relief that they still had some time and this situation could be remedied.
When Commander Lu Shao woke up, he didn't dare meet the City Lord's eyes. His haughty pride was replaced by an insurmountable wave of guilt. Today, he had lost the face of not just City Guards, but also City Lord.
Mo Fan took the losing team away from the City Lord's eyes. He understood that at this moment, his master didn't want to see any of their faces.
Taking deep breaths, City Lord calmed his rage before turning to Ikasa.
