A valley over a hundred miles from Yuanhua City.
Originally clad in vivid attire, Lin Xiao now looked quite disheveled. His fiery red cloak was tattered, and his Treasure Armor was smeared with mud, no longer exuding the spirited pride from three days earlier when he had taken Yuanhua City.
At this moment, he was gathering the scattered soldiers here.
By his side, Lin Jianfeng was assisting.
However...
The efficiency of Gu Jinlai's Short Range Defense Cannons and ten "Thunder" Gatling Guns was too great; even though their numbers were fewer, of the four thousand men Lin Xiao had taken to Yuanhua City, less than one thousand remained in the end.
Moreover, since the city's defenders were primarily composed of elite fighters, among the one thousand surviving troops, less than three hundred were elites.
Next to a small stream, looking at the Lin Family soldiers who were in disarray and panic, Lin Xiao painfully closed his eyes.
