Chapter 158: Beacon Fires Lit, Gazing North from the River and Mountains (2/2)

Baili Feng walked in the military outpost, his eyes taking in the burly soldiers of the Great Qin.

The camp housed three hundred soldiers, from a single Eighth Rank Defending General, two Colonels, and adding himself, a mere Military Adviser, that was all.

This was essentially a nail that the Protectorate General of Great Qin had hammered into the Northern Region.

A nail firmly guarding the border of Great Qin.

The renowned general of the era, Che Hongbo, once said that if all the outpost camps scattered across the Northern Region were linked, they would form the vast frontier of Great Qin, a frontier where every inch was soaked with the blood of the Qin people. To retreat a step meant to tread on blood-soaked soil, on a ground littered with white bones.

Baili Feng didn't particularly care for such talk. It was something anyone could conclude, he reckoned. Reluctantly, he went to pay his respects to Luo Yongjie.
