The nights in Yong Country were unlike those in Zhuang Country, as each human world has its own sorrows and joys.
After Lingbei Prefecture was breached, Yiyang Prefecture became the most important defensive line in the southern part of Yong Country.
Within the territory of Yiyang Prefecture, Suolong Gate had once been Yong Country's number one stronghold. Since Yong Country's territory expanded beyond the Qi Chang Mountain Range and into Zhuang lands, the strategic significance of this formidable pass had diminished.
It was only after Zhuang Chenggan established his nation on the divided lands of Zhuang that Suolong Gate regained some of its importance, though it still was not given much attention. The majority of Yong Country's border defense efforts were actually focused on the fortifications constructed along the Qi Chang Mountain Range.
