North of Yokohama Royal City lay the Kanto Plain, the largest plain in Yingzhou, with cities and castles of every size scattered across it like stars in the sky and pieces on a chessboard.
The bright moon rose toward the middle of the sky, stars glittered, and the night was clear.
A terrifying wolf more than ten li long and several li tall thundered across the boundless plain, wind and clouds racing alongside it. Its might swept through like a storm of death. Wherever it passed, cities crumbled, castles fell, and people died. Even the grasslands were plowed into a horrifying trench a thousand meters wide.
Cities, castles, and other strongholds could delay it for only a moment before they were torn apart as easily as flimsy paper and silk, then brutally crushed. The terrifying wolf razed them directly to the ground, leaving rubble and severed limbs strewn everywhere. Nothing could stop its swift advance.
As soon as the Great Huan Forbidden Guard finished assembling and formed ranks, Huan Emperor Xiao Ying drew directly upon the formation's power to link all seven hundred thousand guards together and give their formation physical shape. They marched north through the night!
In just four or five double-hours-eight or nine hours-Xiao Ying used the Moonlight Heavenly Wolf Formation to lead seven hundred thousand Great Huan Forbidden Guards across a thousand li, traversing more than half the Kanto Plain. Along the way, they smashed through one medium-sized city, six small cities, seventeen towns, and more than thirty stone castles. Fierce and merciless, they left nothing but ruins in their wake!
After all, as the Huan Emperor, Xiao Ying was hardly so idle that he would personally lead his guards in attacks on medium-sized or large cities. That would be something of a waste of time
