The Deputy General, already fuming with anger, began to curse under his breath once the Prefecture Governor had left and the numbers here were sizeable.
"Damn it to hell! Making a sortie out of the city late at night, not only did we lose quite a few brothers and gain no grain, but we also ended up with two hundred extra mouths to feed. What kind of situation is this..."
Quite a few of the trusted soldiers beside him couldn't stand to listen anymore and glared at the Deputy General with round, angry eyes.
Far from backing down, the Deputy General grew even more assertive.
"Oh! What do you lot think you are? Daring to glare at me, believe it or not, yours truly will have someone gouge out your eyeballs right now, so you won't even know how you died!"
At his words, the crowd began to stir restlessly.
A flash of surprise crossed Liu Sisi's eyes, but she did not step forward to speak.
