The celebrations inside Jiuyou City did not last long. Before the lingering echoes of victory had fully faded, the soldiers and citizens within the walls were once again enveloped by a sense of crisis. Chen Haotian knew all too well that Tiemuzhen would never simply give up. The situation in Jiuyou City remained precarious, and they might soon face an even more fierce assault.
The first rays of early morning sunlight fell upon the city walls, faintly illuminating the mottled bloodstains left behind by the previous night's battle. Chen Haotian had not slept all night; he stood upon the ramparts, his gaze sweeping over the enemy encampment still stationed in the distance. Although Tiemuzhen's grand army had temporarily retreated, they had not departed, clearly brewing new actions.
Lin Fan walked up beside Chen Haotian and said in a low voice, "Lord, according to scout reports, Tiemuzhen's camp is urgently marshalling supplies. They are likely preparing for the next wave of attacks."
