Chapter 198: The Final Confrontation

As the battle continues to rage, Lin Yuer finally reaches the gates of the city, where General Xian stands waiting. His face is hard, his eyes filled with cold resolve. He raises his sword in a challenge, but there is no fear in his eyes—only the certainty of a man who believes he is right.

"You're a fool, General Xian," Lin Yuer says, her voice sharp with anger. "You've betrayed everything we fought for."

Xian's lips curl into a sneer. "I've betrayed nothing. You are the one who betrayed the people. You've let power blind you to the needs of the empire."

"That's where you're wrong," Lin Yuer retorts. "I've seen the empire through the eyes of the people. You, on the other hand, only see it as a means to fulfill your own ambitions."

Xian raises his sword, his expression twisting into one of rage. "Then let's settle this, once and for all."

The two clash, their swords meeting with a resounding crash. Each strike is a battle of wills, a fight for the future of the empire. Lin Yuer's movements are precise, honed by years of training and the weight of her responsibility. Xian fights with fury, his every blow fueled by anger and betrayal.

The fight is long, exhausting, but in the end, Lin Yuer's skill and determination win out. With one final strike, she disarms General Xian, knocking his sword from his hand. She stands over him, her sword raised, her breath coming in ragged gasps.

"You've lost, Xian," she says coldly. "The empire will never belong to someone like you."
