Chapter 129 - Battle Before The Gates

It was after the Queen's exodus from the city that the lowlands were attacked by Nobuharu's army of living corpses. This brings us back to the current moment, when every soldier assembled right before the gates remained on edge as the two generals stood before each other.

General Shin Shang bringing forth his sword was an open gesture of war, proving he and his army were here to fight—nothing more. Now it was left to General Senju to decide the fate of the people who had refused his gesture of goodwill.

He had given them the chance to surrender peacefully and willingly come under the control of the Emperor without needless bloodshed.

But Langford's General had chosen to fight to the death instead, so General Senju had to do what was expected of him by granting death to the person and everyone else who asked for it.
