Chapter 168: In the Beholder
“Hold on! We absolutely have to hold on!”
The sudden arrival of an endless army of terracotta soldiers nearly caused Great Patola’s garrison troops to suffer a mental breakdown.
Where did these monsters come from?
I know that there are Tang bandits wreaking havoc, but aren’t they supposed to be in the Western Region? Why did they suddenly come all the way here to attack us?!
What was even more maddening to them was that there was a Little Patola up north that should have served as a buffer for them.
I mean, even if you are no match for the Tang bandits, the least you can do is to send a messenger over to give up a heads up, right? Or are you so weak that you collapsed before you even had time to send a messenger?
As infuriated as Great Patola’s garrison troops were, there was nothing else they could do. They could only march onto the city walls and attempt to fend against the enemies.
At least we’re closer to the Tibetan Empire. We’ll have reinforcements as long as we can hold for a couple of days.
That hope was bound to be in vain.
