Chapter 199: The Aftermath
With General Xian's defeat, the battle comes to an end. Lin Yuer's army triumphs, and the border city is once again under her control. The people, witnessing the defeat of the traitor, begin to rally behind her once more.
But Lin Yuer knows that this victory is only temporary. The empire is fragile, and the forces of rebellion still linger in the shadows. She cannot let her guard down, not now, not ever.
As she surveys the aftermath of the battle, Lin Yuer reflects on the cost of power. So much has been sacrificed—loyalty, trust, and even peace. But in the end, it has all been worth it. The empire is secure for now, and Lin Yuer has proven that no one, not even those closest to her, can challenge her will.
But the winds of change are never far off, and Lin Yuer knows that this is only the beginning of a long and arduous journey.
