Yunzhou, Celestial Decree Pass.
As the center of the Cloud County battlegrounds, Celestial Decree Pass has endured nearly three years of warfare. It has transformed from Cloud County's most formidable pass into a dead fortress, with its mottled walls turning a faint red, filled with lifelessness.
Outside the city, when the wind stirs the sand, white bones appear and disappear from sight. At night, as the wind rises, it howls fiercely and mournfully, it's hard to tell how many souls are wailing.
Torches stand on the city walls.
Rows of patrolling soldiers come and go, their faces devoid of any expression, showing only indifference and confusion.
The city itself is as desolate as a dead fortress.
Inside the central army camp tent,
Marquis Chengyang, Ling Hao, is standing in front of a map.
His armor is stained with blood, his hair slightly disheveled, strands of white peeking through, and his dark face is remarkably rough.
"Yunxi, Gu Zhan, Qin You!"
