On top of the gate tower, the higher-ups of Dong Hai stood in a row, looking down coldly at Daoist Threerings, who was calling out a challenge.
The daoist proudly held up his wooden stick as he laughed and said, "King of Dong Hai, do you still have any brave soldiers or generals under your command who dare to fight me? If no one can defeat me and my fellow daoists this time, you can't blame us for starting the siege!"
Behind Daoist Threerings stood more than two hundred oddly dressed daoists, and each had bought three to five thousand soldiers here, forming an army of nearly a million men east of the city. A force of such strength was more than enough to siege the city when Wu Qi and the others could not intervene.
