Sneak Attacks

Early on, Song Jia had already told Dai Chen to be alert.

After the banquet, he retired to his own room while his contract beast, Si, was keeping watch just by his bedside.

He didn't tighten his own security. He still wanted to know who would dare attempt to assassinate him.

He had been caught off guard before, thinking no one bore any ill will towards him within the clan.

But with how they were able to do so seamlessly, he was reminded of those times when General Song Jia used to tell him to not let his guard down.

It was apt for Song Jia to remind him of this again.

Dai Chen was not offended. He only reminisced on those times when he served under General Song Jia.

They claimed plenty of victories for the Hou Kingdom and its citizens.

More than that, they were able to enrich the lives of the citizens with or without war.
