What the—? I looked over. Sure enough, the sea was covered by a dark mass. I had no idea how many there were, divided into countless formations. Yet it was obvious there were only two factions. One side's royal banner bore the character "Zheng," while the other bore "Yun."
The Zheng side had the greater numbers, seemingly around a hundred thousand. The Yun side was much smaller, with roughly thirty thousand in total. Though surrounded on all sides, they refused to retreat, clearly resolved to die on the battlefield.
