Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

General Qin watched closely the man riding out from the firelight.

Seeing that it was Luo Qin, he felt relieved.

Mo Zhu rode to General Qin and took the initiative to untie his cloak. Jiang Liuer squinted his eyes and coughed a few times, feeling uncomfortable.

"They treat you well."

"It's mutual. I took good care of Master Ye Ling in the military camp, and I also took good care of the children."

"How far did the fire reach inside?"

"The tents and shelters were all burned down."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, but I think they are fully prepared."

"For example?"

"Jiang Liu'er, talk to General Qin."

"Cough cough cough! Huh... Huh... cough cough! Well... we live in the same place. I went in with my head covered and came out with my head covered. I don't know where I am." Jiang Liuer began to speak seriously.

"There's everything in there: water, vegetables, food, beds, blankets, and toys."

General Qin looked at Mo Zhu.

"I think what the child said is pretty accurate. I was only allowed to wait in an open area until someone brought the child here. The tents are gone, and the shelters are gone. Normally, they wouldn't survive a single night. I can only say that I took things for granted when I was stationed here before."

"Is that a house or something?" General Qin asked Jiang Liuer.

"It's a village."

"Who else is in there?"

"Master Ye Ling, there are still many people. All the people who were resettled in the previous resettlement house are here."

"Are there any outsiders?"

"No, I'm the only outsider, so I can't look when I go in. I have to cover my head."

"Is there enough food in there?"

"It should be plenty. I also had roast chicken for lunch."

General Qin seemed to be thinking about something, and asked Mo Zhu, "So what are your plans?"

"I have no ability to get involved in the affairs between the two cities. What I have been most worried about from the beginning to the end is this child. Now that the child is out, I want to take him back to Ningsi City first."

"Yeah." General Qin looked at the raging fire in front of him and nodded.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Take care, General Qin."

"Well, I will return to the city on time." said General Qin.

"Waiting for good news from the general." Mo Zhu took Jiang Liuer and ran towards Heige Mountain.

"General, there's news from the mountain that the isolation belt we dug has caught fire, and the fire is spreading throughout the entire West Mountain." said the deputy general.

"Have our people evacuated?"

"Withdraw."

"Well, wait."

"But if we wait until the fire is out, it will take that long..."

"Advancing rashly could be even more costly. We thought they were out of ammunition and food, but they have a well-stocked village inside and reinforcements outside. With the wind direction tonight, there's no way this part of the isolation zone could catch fire. They even know all about our plans."

"General... since this has come to this, we might as well make one last stand."

"It's just Black Sand City. If we take it once, we can take it twice. The New Year is coming soon, so let's go back and have a good New Year."

"General..." The deputy general was unwilling.

"I know that victory and defeat are common in the military. I will ask you to do this. Our soldiers can die in battle, but they must not die in vain."

"Yes." The deputy general said no more, "Then how long should we wait?"

"The day of the first snow is the time to return home."

"Yes."

Waiting for the first snow is the last stubborn attempt to take back Black Sand City. Maybe there will be a turning point in the middle, and it is also the deadline for everyone to return home safely.

General Qin looked at the seemingly endless wildfire, still holding on to a last glimmer of hope in his heart.
