Public Anger
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Inside the city, there was no peace to be found.
A portion of the Dingbei Army had already infiltrated the city. As soon as the conflict erupted, these individuals began to pillage and create chaos, throwing the populace into turmoil.
The royal forces and major clans mobilized a significant number of troops to quell the rebellion within the city.
However, the rebels had disguised themselves so well that it was nearly impossible to distinguish friend from foe.
Similar scenes played out in various corners of Tianjing City. Groups that had gathered, either in hiding or preparing to counter-attack, suddenly found themselves under attack by the rebels, catching them off guard.
With the enemy having more advantage, capturing the rebel forces within the city proved exceedingly difficult. Often, the rebels would sow chaos in one area, and by the time reinforcements arrived, they had already fled to another.
