The casualties from this battle were exceptionally severe, with rough estimates suggesting that nearly one-tenth of the participating forces had perished. Such heavy losses were enough to break anyone's heart. Looking at the brave soldiers lying in pools of blood, his heart twisted in anguish. However, time marched on, and there was no choice but to move forward.
After careful consideration, he decided to allow the surviving brave soldiers three days to rest and recover their strength and morale. He ordered his subordinates to meticulously record the names of every fallen brother, ensuring that not a single one was overlooked. These valiant soldiers had fought for their country and sacrificed their lives as heroes; they deserved the utmost respect and honor. Only by doing so could he offer some solace to their spirits and honor the immense sacrifices they had made.
At that moment, Hada had successfully escaped the battlefield and was galloping away on horseback. It wasn't until he confirmed that there were no pursuers behind him that he slowed his pace. There was still quite a distance to Uto City, requiring approximately three to four days of travel to reach it. Despite having been on the run for an extended period, Hada dared not let his guard down. After a brief moment to catch his breath, he pressed on tirelessly toward Uto City.
Uto City was an important town in Jing Kingdom, located in the southeastern border region of the kingdom. The city was vast, bustling with numerous residents, creating a lively atmosphere. Its towering walls were formidable and impenetrable, constructed from massive blocks of carefully stacked bluestone, giving it a grand and majestic appearance. Additionally, watchtowers were positioned at intervals along the walls, standing like loyal sentinels, ever vigilant over the movements in the distance.
The reason Uto City could serve as a military stronghold for Jing Kingdom was not only due to its large population but also because of its strategic geographical location. It guarded a crucial passageway leading from Jing Kingdom to the outside world, making its strategic importance paramount; it was indeed a solid barrier for southeastern Jing Kingdom.
Three days later, after a long and arduous journey, Hada finally arrived at Uto City. The city was magnificent with its towering walls, instilling a sense of invincibility. The one stationed at Uto City was General Hulanmu, an experienced veteran with numerous battle achievements who commanded great respect and affection from both soldiers and civilians alike.
At this moment, within the Old General's residence, the atmosphere felt somewhat tense. Hada stood straight in the center of the hall while Hulanmu sat above him, scrutinizing this unfamiliar visitor with piercing eyes.
Despite his disheveled appearance, Hada's expression was remarkably resolute, as if he bore a significant mission on his shoulders.
"Greetings, Old General!" Hada bowed respectfully.
Hulanmu nodded slightly and asked, "Who are you? What brings you here?"
Taking a deep breath, Hada replied urgently, "Old General, I am a tribesman from the border. I have come to report an urgent military situation: the Wu Kingdom Army is launching a large-scale invasion of our territory!"
Upon hearing this, Hulanmu furrowed his brow, pondering to himself. He had been stationed here for many years and had heard rumors of the Wu Kingdom Army planning to invade Jing Kingdom from this location. Was there any truth to it? However, when he saw Hada's anxious and sincere face, a flicker of doubt crossed his mind.
Nevertheless, the safety of the nation could not be taken lightly. After a moment of contemplation, Hulanmu decisively commanded, "Someone! Immediately dispatch a squad of soldiers to accompany this man to the location he mentioned and assess the situation. We must ascertain the truth—go quickly and return swiftly!"
Once the order was given, a team of elite soldiers quickly assembled and hurriedly followed Hada away.
