Chapter 51: War
Starlight Calendar 1250.
The beginning of Winter Music Month.
Not long after the new year, Shining Light City, accusing Black Stone City’s Lord Kei Arnest of colluding with the Starfire Sect, demanded that he appear in Shining Light City alone to plead guilty and receive punishment. After Kei Arnest refused, they brazenly launched an attack on Black Stone City.
Clack! Clack!
The sound of metal armor plates rubbing against each other echoed.
Kei led his men onto the city wall, taking the brass telescope from Bread and gazing into the distance.
Under the night sky, the entire plain outside the city was dotted with bonfires.
Silhouettes danced around the fires, and dense tents formed a continuous stretch, extending far into the plains.
