Chapter 972: Really Can't Think of a Chapter Title

The Chief Guardian of Pingliang City was a veteran general named Pei Lin.

Pei Lin had been a seasoned general since the time of Li Yuan, having served under Li Yuan and then Li Shimin. After Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, he had pledged allegiance to Luo Cheng and had been diligently serving under Luo Cheng ever since. Though he hadn't achieved extraordinary fame or prestige, he was more than capable of holding his ground.

Standing atop the battlements, Pei Lin gripped his sword tightly, his face showing not a hint of fear. As a veteran of the battlefield, he was well aware that the battlefield was their true home.

He had long been prepared to fight to the death and, even if the city were to fall in the end, he was determined to make the Qin Army pay a truly painful price.
