However, they weren't going to try to escape even if they could
Their only mission was to protect these spirit herbs If this place fell to the rebels, what good was their safety?
Relying on the terrain and for of all the cultivators who remained here
But the army outside pressed down on their nerves as much as it did on their borders No one could predict when the attack would come, despite its certainty
And when it did, there would be a bloodbath
The rebels had manpower on their side They could send wave after wave of soldiers to push an offensive The two thousand-odd elites on the sacred land’s side didn't have room for any error; each person that died was a soldier permanently lost on the battlefront
