Chapter 371: Attacking the City
# 371. Attacking the City
Chuzhou City.
The towering city walls were crowned by a three-story gatehouse, its curved eaves and upward-tilted corners exuding grandeur. From its highest floor, one could see dozens of miles into the distance.
In the great hall at the top level, a middle-aged man leaned on a blade, seated on a tiger-skin-covered throne.
He wore heavy armor forged from refined steel, draped in a crimson cape. His long and piercing phoenix eyes, paired with his sharp and handsome features, bore a striking resemblance to Emperor Yuanjing.
This man embodied the ferocity of a battlefield general combined with the dignified arrogance of imperial nobility—a natural-born ruler exuding an extraordinary aura.
He was the Zhenbei King of the Great Feng.
The life of this king was nothing short of legendary. Gifted with extraordinary strength from a young age, he could tear apart tigers and leopards with his bare hands. But he was no mere brute. On the contrary, King Huai was brilliant, far outshining his siblings.
King Huai had a penchant for violence and a fervent passion for martial arts. The late emperor once declared, “The Seventh Prince is Heaven’s gift to the Great Feng—a divine guardian general.” Thus, the throne was not passed to him.
