Fang Yazi had ignited the signal fire the moment he received the sword letter, gauging its arrival at the next peak before leaping onto his strong horse to dash toward Yinyue Castle. By the time he reached the walls of Yinyue Castle, which looked like a torch, all the nearby human fortresses in West Mang Mountain had also turned into torches.
It was a last resort; they were only two people and couldn't cover all the fortresses, so they had to rely on signal fires to communicate.
Atop the wall, all the villagers were ready for battle. Yinyue Castle, with its major and minor fortresses, formed the most devoted strongholds to Lord Hou, executing his commands without fail, daring not to slack in the slightest.
Especially Yinyue Castle; it was the human fortress closest to West Mang Mountain, which also meant that in the event of a Soul Ghosts rampage, it would face the most pressure.
And it was where Wang Mian and Fang Yazi were stationed.
