Liangzhou, a month ago.
With reinforcements arriving from all sides, the frontline collapse of the demons led to the swift recapture of most cities that had been quickly occupied by the demons.
Around Liangzhou, battle flags soared. To prevent the demons lingering in some cities from harming the people excessively, Li Tian Gang discussed with Li Xuanli about withdrawing a Light Cavalry Unit from the main army. Replacing the unit with the Haotian battle flags, they would head to various cities first to deter the demons and scout the situation.
If the situation looked grim, they would wait for the main army, but if the battle flags could intimidate the demons in those cities, they could rescue the trapped citizens ahead of time.
After all, even a single day's delay could result in tens of thousands of citizens falling victim to the demons.
Hence, when it came to reclaiming territory and rescuing the people, speed was of the essence.
