The firelight illuminated Xiao Rongyan's well-defined features. He had sweat on his nose, his deep, dark eyes reflecting the warm yellow glow of the flames, making his gaze seem even colder and more solemn.
Xiao Rongyan's eyes fell on the Rong heavy shield camp. A cavalryman on a completely black horse, donning a ghost mask with blue faces and fang-like teeth, and dressed in Rong attire, emerged.
If Xiao Rongyan remembered correctly, that was the newly emerged Ghost Mask General of Nanrong.
The Ghost Mask General was not of noble birth. During a royal hunt, the King of Nanrong was saved by the Ghost Mask General, who was then a slave. This act elevated him to the King's personal guard and, later, to a general.
