Horde Part 2
Hao Xuan stared out towards the massive forest that seemed to go on forever. From where he was, it seemed like a green sheet of paper that went on as far as the eye could see. Two of the newly formed rivers were also visible. They were twisting around a gigantic mountain range about forty kilometers away like a pair of serpents strangling their prey.
Outside the city wall, the neverending rain turned the farmland into a marshy hell. It formed several meter large puddles every few steps. All the crops had long been washed away and what was left was barren land that would not be suitable for farming for months.
"Do we have a choice?" he muttered under his breath.
Kuo also looked out and let out a deep breath, "No," he said shaking his head.
"Then we fight. What else is there to think about?" he smiled and turned around, walking down the stairs and disappearing into the crowd.
Kuo looked at his back with a self-mocking smile, "He sure has changed."
