Chapter 560 - 557: Entrustment_1
The commoners silently gazed at Madam Dong.
Just as Madam Dong said, the Dong family had protected Dengzhou for generations. They would rather die in battle than abandon the city or forsake its people!
Even Master Dong had died for the people of Dengzhou.
Back then, when Master Dong died in battle, it was Madam Dong who led the defense of Dengzhou City, holding out until Dong Qingyue brought the Bai family army for reinforcement, thereby saving Dengzhou from the Rong people’s massacre.
Because of this, Madam Dong was held in extremely high regard among the citizens of Dengzhou.
Thinking of her late husband who died protecting Dengzhou, Madam Dong’s throat tightened, and her voice choked up slightly. "My late husband, who died in battle to protect Dengzhou, once said... the people of Dengzhou are like our kin by blood! How could we, as humans, forsake our kin!"
"I swear by the entire family to the heavens that the Dong family will protect and love the people. If we ever harbor the slightest intention to harm, may the heavens punish us and our lineage end! Fellow villagers, please... trust our Dong family! Trust our descendants!"
After she finished speaking, Madam Dong bowed deeply towards the citizens.
