Civil conscripts had already dug numerous war trenches around the city, and the state soldiers were guarding inside with a lackluster fighting spirit. However, none of them had deserted, as their families were all behind them.

The patrol officers were on patrol in the streets. Guns were loaded, and anyone daring to take advantage of the chaos to loot would be shown no mercy and killed without pardon.

After many days, the three once again found themselves on the walls of Yunzhou City.
