Chapter 677: Defeat!

"Without the presence of their commanding officer, they actually managed to calmly spot the weaknesses in the main city and organized a large-scale siege in an orderly fashion—the quality of these Southern Barbarian Soldiers far surpasses that of those from the Central Plains!"

Strong and powerful, strict in giving and following orders, and fearless unto death—these are qualities that the soldiers of the Central Plains lack.

It could even be said that these are qualities the entire Imperial Court lacks. With the main beam crooked, the lower beams are also askew, and with corrupt practices sweeping through, it is natural that the soldiers stationed at the borders have less vigor and exhibit more frailty.

"Winning this battle is going to take some effort."
