The Chu Yun Governor heard the news, but he was not surprised in the slightest.
"The one defending the fortress is Xiao Mo from Tiger-Suppressing Pass, isn't it?"
The Chu Yun Governor questioned the soldier under his command again.
The soldier replied, "Yes, it is indeed Xiao Mo."
The Chu Yun Governor sighed. "Truly, I wore through iron shoes searching without finding him, only to stumble upon him without the slightest effort."
The war between them would have its victor decided today!
Xiao Mo was still arranging rest for his soldiers, unaware that danger had already crept closer.
The Chu Yun Empire launched an all-out assault on the fortress!
The attack began at noon, with a full ninety thousand troops laying siege.
Xiao Mo immediately ordered the entire army to hold fast within the fortress. Without orders, no one was to sortie!
The battle between attackers and defenders lasted four quarter-hours at first, yet the Chu Yun Empire still showed no intention of retreating.
Xiao Mo showed no fear either and continued ordering the entire army to hold their ground.
Only after eight quarter-hours of fighting did the Chu Yun Empire begin to retreat.
Xiao Mo did not lower his guard, but he still ordered the entire army to rest and reorganize their troops and horses.
At the same time, he had the mess unit begin cooking.
Thanks to the Heavenly Flames kindling, all the food was ready very quickly.
Xiao Mo made sure every soldier and horse had eaten and drunk their fill, then continued ordering the entire army to reorganize their troops and horses.
Meanwhile, Xiao Mo finally broke through the shackles of the peak Five-Star Dou Emperor stage.
He became a Six-Star Dou Emperor.
Xiao Mo also began resting, drinking sweet herbal iced tea as he ate.
