The Night Raid

Similar incidents occurred in various parts of the city.

The mysterious shadows looked like a black stream under the dark sky as they passed through the inhabited alleys, and streamed towards the western part of the city. However, they continued to avoid the patrolling troops throughout their way.

The buildings in the western part of Xing He City were squatty and run-down; they constituted a disordered and chaotic image.

This area was highly vulnerable to the barbarians’ invasion since it was adjacent to the western gate of the city. So, it was a war-prone area. In fact, this area had been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times over several years.

The situation had slightly improved when Yue Tai came into power and rescued the disintegrating city. However, mostly destitute people resided in this area. Therefore, this area had been transformed into a slum.

However, this slum area had enjoyed an era of peace and bliss over the past hundred years.
