The people had food to eat and water to drink because of the princess's prayers to the gods.
If something happens to the princess, these common people will have no way to survive.

Qin Yue Zhao led Shen Nuo from the small path at the north gate, and ordered Zheng Hu and the others to take the mountain path at the west gate.
Along the way, they hid their horses in the woods, and Qin Yue Zhao dismounted and walked on foot, leading archers and Zheng Hu's troops to flank the Northern Barbarian army camp.
The Northern Barbarian army lost tens of thousands of men in just a few days. After the incident with the Southern Family Army, they became wary of Qin Yue Zhao and retreated ten miles, fearing another sneak attack from the Huo Family Army.
Their night patrol teams doubled in size, and torches were lit everywhere.
Qin Yue Zhao, dressed in camouflage, crawled in the forest, blending into the yellow sand and Gobi Desert as if she were invisible.
She stared at the Northern Barbarian army camp and waved to Huo Sanbao, who was not far away.
Huo Sanbao was personally promoted by Huo Tingye. Born into a hunter's family, he had excellent eyesight and hunting skills from a young age and was well-loved by the Huo family army.
Upon receiving Qin Yuezhao's instructions, he quickly climbed to a high place, drew his bow, and fired an arrow at the sentry at the gate.
"Whoosh!"
The arrows, crafted from fine steel, were incredibly powerful. Their light feathers brushed against the night sky and pierced deeply into the enemy's chest.
The sentry fell from the five-meter-high tower and died silently.
Seeing this, Qin Yue Zhao gestured for Shen Nuo and the Nan family army to advance, and ordered, "Load the explosives!"
The three thousand Huo family soldiers were divided into two teams, set up bows, and tied explosives to the arrows.
Qin Yuezhao suddenly waved her hand: "Release the arrows!"
"Swish swish——"
Countless arrows whistled through the night sky, their sound echoing as they pierced the air. Flames, like multicolored flowers, exploded the moment they touched the Northern Barbarian army's camp.
"Bang bang bang!"
Dozens of explosions rang out in succession, shaking the sky. The Northern Barbarian soldiers lying in their tents screamed in agony, and without even bothering to put on their clothes, they rushed out with their broadswords in hand.
However, the next second, a barrage of arrows, like a rain of fire, pierced their chests.
Seeing this, Qin Yuezhao shouted to the Southern Family Army: "All troops, attack! Leave no one alive!"
Upon hearing this, the Northern Barbarian army, realizing what was happening, scattered like startled cockroaches.
"Ahhh, Qin Yue Zhao is here! She's stormed the military camp with her fire dragon! Run!"
Every time a local barbarian soldier rushed out of the tent, he was shot dead.
Under the cover of night, flames soared into the sky, and cries of agony echoed through the heavens.
The Northern Barbarian army was caught completely off guard and could only watch as Qin Yuezhao's men stormed into their camp, burned their tents and provisions, and released the warhorses from their stables.
Enraged Northern Barbarian soldiers charged forward fearlessly, but before they could even get close to Qin Yue Zhao, they were shot through the heart by crossbow bolts.
