Swirling dust and sand, across the vast plains. A formidable pass stands guard over the world.
The gate, called Yueya Guan, was originally just a single pass. However, after many years of development, it has become a border city.
This city is different from all others. Men, women, and children alike are incredibly fierce. Every household allows weapons to be kept within their homes.
On ordinary days, they are farmers who till the windswept land. Once war breaks out, they can don armor and become qualified soldiers, seasoned veterans of a hundred battles.
Years of war have turned this border fortress into a truly national mobilization.
Within the military camp.
Inside the military camp, which was already heavily guarded, today was especially grim. All soldiers were armed with long swords at their hips and spears in their hands, their eyes sharp and vigilant.
Inside the great tent.
All centurions and officers of higher rank from Yueya Pass have gathered here.
General Wang, the Marshal has ordered that all commanders entering the military camp must not bring personal guards and surrender their weapons.
A patrol of soldiers stopped the general who was about to ride in, saying with meticulous care.
The general who was blocked was tall and strong, his face imposing even without anger.
He looked at the soldier and let out a cold snicker, "My general Wang Dazhi has served at Yueya Pass for twenty years, no one has ever dared to stop this general. What are you, to ask this general to surrender their weapons Are you looking for death!"
The soldier who spoke first was neither servile nor arrogant, and said loudly: "I act on orders, General Wang, please cooperate."
"Be bold!"
Wang Da zhao was furious, he swung his riding whip and said: "Weapons are a soldier's second life. If you want to take this general's weapons, you have to suck on your mother's milk for a few more years! Get out of here, don't block this general's way, or this general's warhorse will trample you to death and no one will collect your body."
The patrolling soldier, upon seeing this, immediately shouted, "Alert!"
A word of warning, and all the patrol squads around immediately surrounded them, moving in and out in an orderly manner to instantly encircle Wang Dazhao and his dozen or so guards in the middle.
Not only that, but soldiers on the watchtower have already run to the horn. Once a conflict occurs, he will sound the horn immediately according to orders. At that time, the nature of the incident would be equivalent to an enemy attack, and the soldiers within the camp would immediately go into battle, regardless of life or death.
In other words, even if Wang Da zhao and his group were killed at the military camp gate, no one would be held responsible.
Wang Dazhao, seeing that things were actually serious, immediately turned pale and felt embarrassed.
As a centurion, he knew the iron laws of the military camp and that he absolutely could not be the party to start a conflict.
Just then, a group of men rushed out from the big tent. The leader was a square-faced man, nearly six feet tall, clad in armor. His face was stern, and he moved with the powerful strides of a dragon or tiger, his presence intimidating.
All the soldiers around saw him and put down their weapons, stepping back with respectful and fervent eyes.
This man is none other than Wu Ban Shan, the current commander of Yue Ya Guan.
Any Moonlit Pass general, within the Moonlit Pass, enjoys absolute authority and adoration. This is a prerequisite for them to secure their position as the general of the pass.
He who has no prestige and cannot command respect, cannot possibly serve as the commander of Yueya Pass.
Seeing Wu Banshi's arrival, Wang Dazhao's face grew even more unsightly. However, there was no time to think too much. He immediately dismounted and bowed deeply to Wu Banshi, saying: "The last general has met the Grand Marshal."
Wu Ban Shan's face was grim, he just stared at Wang Da Zhao and asked: "This general has summoned all officers above the rank of centurion to gather. Each person must leave their personal soldiers outside the camp, disarm themselves before entering the big tent. You, Wang Da Zhao, how dare you disobey this general's military order!"ourselves, there aren't many opportunities for rest in the barracks. Eat, drink, and if you want any entertainment, just tell someone to arrange it. I have something to attend to, so I'll be back shor...
