Twenty li from Tengwang Pass in Wei Kingdom.
A man rode at the head of five thousand cavalry, mounted on a snow-white horse and clad in silver armor.
Behind him, the five thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry stood in grim formation. Moonlight fell upon them, making them look like silver gods of war, row upon row.
Yet in the eyes of these battle-hardened soldiers, there was a trace of disdain and displeasure.
Especially the deputy general riding beside the man. He looked at the Prince's second son and couldn't help tightening his grip on the reins.
After pondering for a long while, he spoke again. "General, our task should be to hold Moonlight City and keep an eye on Wei Kingdom's reinforcements. Is it really wise for us to head into Wei Kingdom's heartland now?"
"General Li, you're worrying too much."
Xiao Yishe, the second young master of Xiao Manor, replied with a smile.
"The situation in Wei Kingdom is already settled, and my father has led a hundred thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry into Wei Kingdom. They can barely protect themselves, so how could they come here? By comparison, the final battle at Wei Kingdom's Imperial Capital will surely be a fight to the death. We're going to help Flame King for the sake of the bigger picture!"
"."
The deputy general named Li Jing's brow twitched.
Xiao Yishe made it sound noble, claiming he was acting for the bigger picture.
But how could Li Jing not know that Xiao Yishe simply wanted to snatch a share of Flame King's credit for destroying a kingdom?
Li Jing found it utterly contemptible.
After all, the Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry had always fought the toughest battles. Since when did they have to steal someone else's achievements and beg for a mouthful of their soup?
