Elegy of Phoenix (Part 1)

Outside of Huoxing City and in the camp of the Phoenix rebel army, the chief commander's tentage was full of light. The bodyguards were standing guard outside nervously. The enemy was so strong that it was no longer a question of whether they would be able to take down Huoxing City, but when they would launch the attack that would do so.

The rebel army was passive. There were no big cities in the north that could lend them support. If they joined Solar City in battle in the south, it would mean that they had deserted the entire north.

The tentage was chaotic. This rebel army was formed by hundreds of noble families and its purpose was to take down Huoxing City in order to stabilize the north and provide reinforcement to Solar City if necessary.

In the tentage, the ten or so most powerful noble families were worried. There were three slips of paper on the table. They were found on the pigeons that were shot down by the middle-grade archers in the army.
