The Iron Guard Knights were quite diligent, whereas the gang members were overall rather lax, looking around and clearly not taking things too seriously.
Basically, these gangs being recruited was their hard luck.
If they were in a smaller gang, they might have run away by now.
Even if they wanted to run now, they couldn't. Once the fight started, they would be at the front.
The night gradually deepened.
The sky seemed to be covered with a curtain.
Only the torches on the city wall, emitting an orange-red flame, the crackling sound of burning, and the faint sound of people conversation could be heard.
Wu Heng led his men around the city wall.
After confirming there was no problem, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's get down."
Taking advantage of the unnoticed, a few of them descended from the city wall.
In an empty shop, they spread blankets and rested.
Waiting for dawn.
...
Late at night.
