With clenched teeth, Tonglu commanded the two wolf soldiers supporting him.
"But, Third Commander."
The two young men, looking hesitantly towards the half-fallen brothers of the Wuyi Sect at the edge of the cliff, said, "But the brothers..."
"Are my orders not to be followed!?"
With eyes reddened, Tonglu's expression was especially fierce, and the young men, not daring to disobey, each supported one of his arms and escorted him back along the path.
Similarly, the remaining wolf soldier sergeant carried a brother, staggering on the way back, not wishing to stay a moment longer.
The warriors who set out to forge a path through the mountains returned in defeat, and within the encampment at Snake Fang Mountain, several uninvited guests had appeared.
