You Wu was silent for a long while before his voice trembled. "I don't know why, but the Nine Fortresses were besieged by civilizations from all sides. I had a duty to fight for the Fifth Barrier, but You Che betrayed us."
"First, he severely wounded me. Then he attacked the Fifth Barrier's powerful fighters. I don't know how that battle ended. When I regained consciousness, the first thing I saw was Xiang City. Xiang City had fallen into that beast's hands."
"He wanted to take control of Xiang City. Ridiculous. Xiang City belonged to the Fifth Barrier, to Human Civilization. How could he possibly control it? Even if I knew anything, I wouldn't tell him. He deserved to die. He deserved to die."
"So he threw me into Xiang City. He wanted me to try to take control of it, then come back and seize it for himself. I can't leave, and I never planned to. I have no intention of going out, either. As long as I'm here, that beast will never control Xiang City. Never."

And he must have done a great deal
