Ye Fan set out once again, traversing the endless desert. According to intelligence, the two great Kings would launch their final assault the next day. Therefore, he had to reach King Hall before dawn.
Little did he know that King Hall was already consumed by panic.
On the fortress walls of King Hall, the five captains watched as the two massive, oppressive armies united, a sense of dread beginning to creep in. The most composed among them was Captain Chui Feng.
At that moment, another burly man spoke up, "Chui Feng, let's retreat!"
"Why should we retreat?" Chui Feng asked immediately.
"The boss isn't here," the man explained urgently. "If we don't evacuate now, we'll never get the chance to leave."
Chui Feng shook his head firmly. "Hold the line. No one is to retreat today!"
The burly man grew angry at the command, but was helpless to object.
