Volume 29: Sword Qi Points Afar, Chapter 2: Lighting the Fire

As late autumn descended upon Nicosia, the situation once again became unstable. Beastmen, who had been quiet for a long while, seemed to suddenly awaken from their summer slumber and burst forth with unprecedented vitality, as if to vent all their long-suppressed frustrations, fiercely launching attacks on the surrounding regions.

Wolf Cavalry swept in like a tide, and the isolated Galleian fortresses in the north were powerless to stop them. The Wolf Cavalry didn't even intend to breach the fortifications; they simply rampaged from one town to the next, pillaging without any other intention. From food to livestock, fabrics to ironware, gold to books, they took everything they could carry. However, these Wolf Cavalry were much more civilized and restrained than before—unless they encountered strong resistance, they generally refrained from slaughter and arson, focusing purely on looting everything they deemed valuable.
