The top of the Fortress of Resilience exploded into a tumultuous roar. Those were the maddened cheers of the men who were sending their comrades off.
"Brothers, did you see that? You have not died in vain! These hundreds of thousands of the men from the Dongxuan army are all your sacrificial offerings! These are the tributes sent to you all by us brothers! Your journey to the underworld will not be lonely, you will have your enemies with you!"
Wang Dingguo howled into the sky, hot tears rolling down his face while Qiu Jianhan's lips trembled as he teared up as well.
"You have gone to war today, and it doesn't matter if you have died – alive, you are a man of Yutang; dead, you are Yutang's soul! If there is the next lifetime, let us be warriors, brave like the tigers, once again! Let us strengthen Yutang's core and be Yutang's soldiers once more!"
