We won this battle.
Xu Jiujiu stood stunned. She had never expected the Sun Moon Empire's army to be driven off so easily.
Du Busi climbed down from the warship, spat, and said coldly, "What rotten luck. I hadn't even had my fill of fighting when a stinking fly came buzzing in."
He looked at the deep crater his attack on Luanfeng had left, its center filled with scorched earth.
He watched a column of people disembark from the warship, puzzled. Wiping dust from his face, he asked, "Didn't you say the Fatui couldn't help us this time?"
