Chapter 430
Having experienced the fear of death and finally welcoming victory, it is fitting to let loose a bit.
But in the Mountain Fortress, some people are too drunk to be aware of their surroundings—someone needs to guard against the invading enemy. Cheng Dalei leaves the streets alone, heading to the city walls to inspect the defenses.
There are guards patrolling the city wall, always on alert for any attacking enemies. They see Cheng Dalei arrive, and they immediately straighten their backs, gripping their spears tightly.
"Leader Dalei!"
Cheng Dalei nods his head, correcting the angle of one of their hats for them. Even though it's winter and the biting wind is blowing at the city walls, they continue their duties without complaint—there is no room for slacking in these harsh conditions. Luckily, everyone maintains a high level of alertness.
"Today is our victory celebration—you're working hard. After the shift change, go and have a drink," Cheng Dalei said.
