She now has over 3,000 able-bodied men under her command, and it's unclear where the extra men came from. Although they've suffered casualties in the past three days of fighting, the number has been extremely small.
The county magistrate didn't explain to Tang Yue where the extra people came from, and Tang Yue didn't care. However, she really didn't want to recruit any more people. To be honest, she felt quite uncomfortable running around with so many people.
If given the opportunity, she still prefers to fight alone. That way, she can do as she pleases without having to worry about others.
The white-haired old man who had been bullied, whom Tang Yue had first seen, had stumbled to within four or five meters of her. He looked at her hopefully and asked, "Excuse me, are you the goddess of Shanhe County?"
Tang Yue nodded, and a bright light burst forth in the old man's eyes, as if the surrounding thick fog had been parted by the light all at once.
The white-haired old man trembled with excitement. He knelt down before Tang Yue with a thud, his cloudy eyes filled with tears. He said in a choked voice, "Goddess, you've finally come! You've come to save us, haven't you?"
Tang Yue...

"Grandpa, please get up and let's talk this out."
The old man didn't move. "Replying to the goddess, I am the county magistrate of Xiangxi County. These days, the people of Xiangxi County are truly living in dire straits!"

Tang Yue's eyes were full of pity. Her spiritual energy overflowed as she gently lifted the old man and said, "Old County Magistrate, don't be in a hurry. Get up and tell me slowly."
The old man felt as if he were being lifted up by something, and his faith in Tang Yue grew even stronger. At the same time, he felt as if he had grasped a lifeline. "Goddess, we have long heard of your deeds in Shanhe County. Goddess, we are also citizens of Bianyue Kingdom. We beg you to also bless the believers in Xiangxi County."
Goddess, you are our hope! We, your faithful servants, have been waiting for you to redeem us. If only we could be freed from this suffering, we would serve you for life, build temples for you, and ensure that your kindness is remembered for generations to come, that we will believe in you and make offerings to you forever!
