The battle was over.
Si Jiuyue did not rest; Dong Xian began counting the survivors. Of the original one thousand soldiers in the Si Family Army, only three hundred remained. Seven hundred had fallen in battle, and they had not even been granted a chance for rescue. Si Jiuyue wept silently as she looked at the fallen.
Niu Gao, seeing her grief, offered words of comfort: "Leader, this is the nature of war—it is kill or be killed. We are fortunate to be alive, and though they are gone, I believe they would be glad to see us survive. As long as we live, there is hope. Please, do not despair."
