The gates of Heaven Gate Pass burst open.
Squads of dejected soldiers slowly marched north.
The mounted generals swept their eyes over the soldiers' gloomy faces. Unlike before, they did not bark curses at them; their own faces were equally grim.
Several generals looked at each other without saying a word, but their stomachs were boiling like pots.
The Mo Blade Army had hacked the Invincible Army out of existence, yet His Majesty was sending them out of Heaven Gate Pass?

If food was not enough, were they delivering side dishes?
Yes, they had not been ordered to Worthy Prince City. They had only been told to station themselves at Mao City, three hundred miles beyond Worthy Prince City—but what use was that?
If the side dishes were not enough, were they bringing wine?
Yes, the court had sent out thirty batches of Royal Edict Banners and Tokens in succession, all of which had been intercepted. There had been no news to this day, so they could not simply do nothing.
