Chapter 1057: An Empty Seat
As the demons around the General's Office ceased their attacks, along the entire frontlines of the Northern Frontier Great Wall, the demon army began sounding the gong to withdraw their troops, temporarily suspending the fighting.
Over at Moon Viewing Terrace, Gao Xuan and Li Changling, who had come to reinforce this place, looked at each other, each seeing the unconcealable exhaustion in the other's eyes, though it was obvious that Li Changling was in much better spirits.
"Your Father fucking told you, those demons can't break us!"
Although this cavalry commander was older and had fought alongside those cultivators on the city wall for a long time earlier, perhaps because he thought less, his sense of exhaustion was far less than Gao Xuan's.
As for Gao Xuan, although he had never personally gone onto the battlefield to kill enemies, as the commander of the battle at Moon Viewing Terrace, the burden he carried was far greater than anyone imagined.
Watching the demon race withdraw like the ebbing tide, Gao Xuan did not speak in a hurry, but merely waited quietly. It was only when footsteps soon sounded beside him that his eyes moved slightly.
"General, the battle report from the General's Office. The demon race has withdrawn and established camp thirty miles outside the Great Wall."
Reaching out to take the battle report, Gao Xuan nodded. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief, before merely turning to look at Li Changling and shaking his head, "General Li, this is only the beginning."
Li Changling smiled, not particularly concerned, "Since we were able to drive them back the first time, there'll be a second time, and a third."
