The battle at Tongling, topped off with Huangfu Xing's final palm strike, left only a little over ten thousand silver-armored troops out of Wanyang County's original forty thousand. Adding to this a Grandmaster Third Realm Sword Executor and the commander of these ten thousand Silver Armored Army troops, Gan Wu at the peak of the Dan Embracing Phase, the thought of holding off the seventeen thousand strong Yongzhou army led by Peng Yuhu with the Jade-faced Divine Fan himself, seemed like the delusions of a madman.
Thankfully, thankfully, there was still Xizhao Sword Chief...
As the Sword Executor from the Sword Control Bureau, a branch of the Wanjian Holy Sect, if Wanyang County were to fall, he would not escape death according to the Holy Sect laws. Therefore, at this moment, he almost placed all his hopes on the man before him, Gu Tianyun, relying on him to help defend Wanyang County.
