But We Can

From the time they pledged allegiance until now, the five hundred soldiers led by White Butcher had basically been serving under Shi Lei, assisting with the city's defenses.

That was only natural. Although he had performed well in the previous few battles and been promoted to Second Lieutenant, he was ultimately still a newcomer in Great Zhou, with shallow experience.
