The sentry at the border of the Stone Kingdom brought back bad news: The allied forces of the four kingdoms led by the Kang Kingdom were headed toward the capital with a total of 2000 troops.
The residents of Stone Kingdom had not yet recovered from the coup and were now made to live in fear of their kingdom's demise. The capital was never big to begin with, and it quickly became crowded with residents from the outer cities moving in.
The situation was very serious as Stone Kingdom only had less than 500 men in its standing army, some of them were even hired from Golden Roc Fort. Moreover, many of them deserted after Dragon King was announced as the prince consort, leaving less than 400 men in the army.
The bandits who had been subdued by Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus in the desert, along with a few others who had rushed over upon hearing the news, amounted to less than 200 men.
