Beyond the Ruo Shui Pass, mournful cries spread across the fields, and relentless screams pierced the air. The stench of blood lingered, a familiar scene on any battlefield; yet this sight weighed heavily on the heart of every person at the Ruo Shui Pass.
Especially when they saw the mangled bodies at the city gate, all dressed in plain clothes. Lin Sisi looked at their corpses with blood-shot eyes, cursing furiously, "Damn that Chen Ruobai, forcing defenseless commoners onto the battlefield, is she even human!"
"She's not!"
Su Yingxue crouched down to examine the bodies of the commoners, her gaze filled with hatred, "They were all poisoned. Even if they had not come to fight, they would not have survived for long. This poison made them unnaturally strong, bursting with extraordinary strength, but it also... took their lives swiftly."
Thousands of lives were thus lost at the gates of Ruo Shui Pass.
The walls of Ruo Shui Pass were breached, but their lives were lost in vain.
