Chapter 178: A Battle of Shadows
The walls of the capital tremble as the sound of clashing swords and the cries of battle fill the streets. Lin Yuer's soldiers, prepared for this moment, fight with unmatched discipline. The rebels have made their move, but Lin Yuer is ready. She has laid her trap well, and the rebellion is already crumbling under the weight of her response.
The streets are chaotic, but Lin Yuer remains calm, her strategy unfolding exactly as planned. Her forces sweep through the city with precision, cornering the rebel leaders and cutting off their escape routes.
But it is not enough to simply defeat them on the battlefield. Lin Yuer knows that the true battle lies in rooting out the corruption and fear that festers beneath the surface. Once the rebels are defeated, she must rebuild—again.
As dawn breaks over the capital, the fighting subsides. The streets are littered with the fallen, both rebel and loyalist. Lin Yuer stands in the center of the chaos, her heart heavy with the weight of what has been lost, but resolute in her mission to rebuild.
