Smoke rose from all directions, and wails filled the wilderness. The commoners who had escaped from the city were both physically and mentally exhausted. They could not see any hope, nor could they find a path forward. The sounds of fighting behind them made their legs weak, but the desire to live forced them to move forward.
"Mother, where's Daddy?" The young child nestled in the basket on his back stared in panic with his ignorant eyes, as he watched the city he had once lived in peace and contentment grow smaller and smaller before his eyes.
The body of the woman carrying the basket stiffened, and tears fell from her eyes. She did not make a sound, and did not dare to make a sound, but just covered her mouth, forcing the sobs to stay in her throat.
"Daddy! Daddy! Mother, I want Daddy! Daddy said, he will bring me to ride on a horse ….. Daddy said he will teach me martial arts ….. "Not getting a reply from his mother, the terrified child could only cry helplessly. The child's pitiful cries caused the entire group to fall into silence.
The child cried helplessly. He still remembered his father dressed in light armour, tall and mighty, like the invincible God of War in his heart. He still remembered that pair of strong arms lifting him up high, and remembered his father's promise as he carried him on the horse.
The woman could no longer suppress the sorrow in her heart. She squatted down, and covered her face as she wept bitterly.
Her husband, was a guard in the city. At the moment he had sent the mother and son pair out of the city gates, she had known, that her husband ….. would never come back.
The child's helpless cries, and the woman's despairing wails, were like a chain, wrapped around everyone's throats, making it difficult for them to breathe.
The youth walking among the crowd, clenched his fists tightly, blood dripping from the gaps between his fingers onto the ground. He suddenly turned around, and ran in the opposite direction of the group!
"Little Tu! Where are you going!? "The panic-stricken Madam cried out in shock.
The youth's footsteps stopped momentarily. He froze a moment, and turned around, his face still a little immature, but filled with determination.
"Mother, the soldiers of the Qi Kingdom, in order to protect the country, have stained the battlefield with their blood. The Condor Country's army will be here soon, and the people in the city will not be able to hold them off. I want to go back!"
"You, child! What can you do even if you go back!? "The Madam's face was filled with terror.
The youth then said: "Although my spiritual powers are not high, but I have my ring spirit! Although I might not be able to kill many enemies, but I do not believe that even if I put my life on the line, I will not be able to exchange for a single soldier from the Condor Country! "
The young man's words carried the childishness of youth, but they were filled with a shocking oath!
"I'll go back with you!" A young man walked to his side.
"Me too!"
"Count me in!"
"Damn it! The men of our Qi Kingdom, are never cowards! If there's blood in the air, follow me and kill! Don't hide in the city like a girl. I look down on cowards like you! "A brawny man raised the iron hammer in his hand and roared.
Following that roar, all the men in the crowd rushed out in unison. Although they were unarmed commoners, but just as the youth had said, they had ring spirits!
Even if they couldn't repel the enemy, they could put their lives on the line and kill as many as they could!
Even if they used their lives to exchange for a few more enemy troops, they could still reduce the pressure on the Imperial City!
Hot blood boiled in the chests of every man. They took one last look at their families and rushed back to the city with determination!
