Zu An began in a loud and clear voice
“The braves who face the fiend barbarians are undaunted by perils; five thousand elites in brocaded robes have perished
Their pitiful remains scatter endlessly across the northern lake, even as wives dream and await their return”
He obviously couldn't use the word ‘Huns’ froinal poem, so he substituted it with fiend barbarians As for the lake part, there just happened to be a similarly named lake to the north near the fiend race’s borders, so he just used the line as is
“Their pitiful remains scatter endlessly across the northern lake, even as wives dream and await their return…” The mysterious woman upstairs mouthed the two verses She slowly lowered her hand, and the killing intent in her eyes gradually faded

However, the scene Zu An portrayed was one of no news for families back ho for their husbands’ early return in their dreams, and yet they would have no idea that those men had already become withered bones across the northern lake That stark contrast of hope and despair was the true feeling of tragedy
Those present felt a powerful feeling surge within the, and yet they discovered that anything they could say would seem lackluster in comparison
Lady Nan Xun’s eyes turned red, tears strea master, you are too heartless”
