Wan Liyun ultimately heeded Nangong Yao's advice and retreated. The first siege ended in failure.
They had underestimated Su Zhanze. The Dragon Slayer Sword was indeed more formidable than they had expected. Although Ye Chen had offered his help, they still failed. Now, what to do? How to breach the city?
Unconsciously, the afternoon arrived.
Having received nods from both Wan Liyun and Qin Tuoluo, Nangong Yao gave the order to pull back.
Nangong Yao and his people hadn't expected the task to be so arduous.
Ye Chen too withdrew.
Ouyang Yue's ships docked, and during the two days at sea, she had come to terms with the news of Shao Hengjiang's death. Throughout this time, Guo Yuyun had stayed by her side, constantly comforting her.
It was only upon disembarking that they learned of the failed assault on Paper Kite City just now from those who had retreated.
Ye Chen found a coconut tree to nap under.
