Chapter 183:
The soldiers and civilians of the Lonely City have been trapped in this city for forty years, and all evidence of their lives has disappeared. All they can see is a vast desert.
Today, an old man entered the city, causing the entire city to almost boil with excitement, shaking off the past troubles.
He walked down a street, and everyone in the street began to cry.
He walked through half the city, and the whole city burst into cheers.
Hai Siyuan followed behind Qiao Mu, witnessing the reactions of the people. He felt both joy and a slight sadness.
Qiao Mu entered the city alone, bringing new hope and a glimpse of light to the lives of the people, who had been living in darkness for forty years.
But Hai Siyuan knew that this hope was ultimately false.
The three hundred exhausted soldiers could not hold onto the city for much longer. The people in the city felt the same… When the three hundred soldiers fell in battle, the city would be filled with despair unless Qiao Mu came and brought them hope.
In this vast desert, hope is more precious than gold.
