The inn.
That afternoon, Shen Boxia, the ever-curious bystander, had already learned from the other guests that the allied forces of the great families outside the city had withdrawn.
"Mr. Jiang."
"Just as you said, the great families have left."
Shen Boxia was somewhat astonished.
Although he trusted Jiang Qiao's judgment, when it was truly confirmed that the allied forces of the great families had been driven back, he still found it unbelievable.
After all,
whether in the south or the north,
the top great families stood high above all others, their strength and foundations overwhelmingly formidable.
From the late years of the previous dynasty until now, only the founder of the new dynasty had briefly suppressed the great families. Yet he himself had ultimately died under mysterious circumstances, leaving behind countless doubts.
But today,
the great families had joined forces and dispatched several Great Sirs, only to return in defeat.
Such a thing
would surely shock the entire world.
"Tiger Lian Mountain actually has a Master? My god, these people hid themselves deeply," Shen Boxia said with feeling.
"So now we'll see what the great families do next." Jiang Qiao smiled.
To be honest,
from yesterday until today,
the battle for Ninggu City had seemed almost like child's play, nowhere near as imposing as Tiger Lian Mountain's attack back then.
Most of the soldiers outside the city had not even entered it.
The final outcome
had been decided by clashes between several top experts.
It reminded him of the generals dueling before the armies in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Whoever lost would withdraw, while the ordinary soldiers merely waved flags and shouted from behind.
It was rather interesting.
The warfare of this era is still in a transitional stage.
