And behind her, the exhausted officers, too, rallied their last bit of spirit, drawing their broken greatswords for the final battle.
In these five days and nights of combat, the stunningly beautiful City Lord Li Ren, despite not commanding a single battle, had utterly conquered the hearts of all.
A City Lord who leads by example and shares life and death with the soldiers is enough—what more when it's such a peerless beauty?
"If the people stand, the city stands; if the people fall, the city falls!"

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
In the piercing sound of war drums!
The ground trembled, quaking!
