Chapter 865
In Gourd Mountain, the Gourd Village dared to establish its presence right under the nose of the Emperor, which meant it had some significant backing. The key is that the terrain here is complex, which makes it hard for a large army to maneuver, and the paths leading up the mountain are known to be easy to defend but hard to capture. That's why it was able to withstand numerous sieges without falling.
But in the end, it couldn't withstand the chaos of war, and eventually the brothers of the Mountain Fortress scattered in all directions, leaving behind an empty and abandoned den of bandits.
Now, it has become a place for Cheng Dalei and others to settle down.
Everyone was utterly exhausted, yet they could not rest. Some were assigned to treat the wounded, some to repair the fortress's defenses, and others to take stock of the remaining supplies in the fortress.
