Tuo Nengya laid down on the ground after he was pierced through his chest . He was found an hour later at the entrance to his tent, surprisingly still alive.
It was Ha Chilie who found him. Though he was taken aback, he was calm and immediately dealt with Tuo Nengya's wounds.
When Tuo Nengya regained his consciousness, he found out that Ha Chilie had not revealed the news of his assassination. "Disband the army, especially the new recruits," he said in a weak voice.
There was a shortage of supplies in the barracks, meaning only veterans were equipped with armor. The new recruits were mostly dressed in their own clothes.
Tuo Nengya caught a glimpse of the assassin while he was escaping from the tent. He was sure that the assassin was a new recruit.
Tuo Nengya realized that he did not have much time left. He did not want to hand over an army that was laden with spies and assassins to the Dragon King.
