The city wall was now manned by only a team of sentinels and a group of Beamon nobility, who had rushed out of a sea of ants in a rather disheveled state. The Beamon soldiers now all appeared rather unkempt, whereas Liu Shock naturally couldn't let the nobles also look so shabby. Therefore, there was a clear distinction between the nobility and the soldiers on the city wall.
Commander Mulan had seen with her own eyes these Beamons enter the ancient city without any supplies or provisions. To say so was completely presumptive and made complete sense—of course, Liu Shock wasn't foolish enough to explain this to the Mulan commander.
