Although my uncle's family fought with all their might and displayed unparalleled bravery and tenacity, they were ultimately outnumbered and had to give up in less than half a day.
The situation was far too critical; it felt like the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed in an instant. There wasn't even a chance to call for help. Everything happened so fast...
Now, my uncle's family's heads were mercilessly hung above the city gate by those cruel enemies, suffering endless humiliation... They... they died such a terrible death...
Feng Qingyun's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost a sob.
Qin Qianluo knew in her heart that the only way was to calm herself down quickly.
Only then could they find a glimmer of hope in this sudden, devastating disaster, and seek justice for their uncle's family.
She subconsciously bit her lower lip, her pearly teeth sinking deep into her soft lips with such force that it seemed she wanted to vent all her grief and anger in that one bite.
A touch of crimson, like a poignant red plum blossom in full bloom, slowly spread across her snow-white face.
The vibrant colors were just like the anger that was about to burst forth from the depths of her heart, yet she was forcibly suppressing it.
The stinging pain was like a heavy hammer blow, striking her nearly broken nerves.
Forcibly dispel the chaos and grief that loomed over my heart like dark clouds, and awaken the reason that was teetering on the edge of despair.
In the past, she always exuded a gentle, spring-like aura, soft and pleasant.
It seems to carry the fragrance of blooming flowers, or like a babbling brook under the warm sun, bringing warmth and peace wherever it goes, making people feel as if they are bathed in a spring breeze.
However, at this moment, this aura seemed to be subjected to the biting cold of the dead of winter, cooling down rapidly at a chilling speed.
The originally gentle airflow has now turned as cold as ice, like a cold current overflowing from an ancient ice cellar, exuding a bone-chilling cold.
It seemed to freeze everything around it, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to freeze, making a faint "crackling" sound.
Her chest heaved violently, like a surging sea, and the anger surging in her heart like a volcanic eruption was about to break through the last line of reason.
The raging fire of anger, like a raging inferno, seared her internal organs.
Her skin trembled slightly with rage, and every nerve groaned in pain, driven by fury.
But she knew perfectly well that anger at this moment was nothing more than a poison that would only throw her off balance, and was completely useless.
Only by calming down and thinking carefully like a wise hunter, peeling back the layers, can we find the truth hidden in the darkness.
To avenge my uncle's family and make those evildoers pay the price they deserve.
She took a deep breath, the air carrying the chill of winter, flowing down her throat and into her lungs, trying to gradually bring her chaotic thoughts together.
She slowly closed her eyes, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly, as if resisting the cruel reality before her.
In her mind, various scenes of her uncle guarding the border flashed by like a revolving lantern.
The tall and sturdy city walls, like a winding and coiled dragon, silently guard the peace of the country.
Each brick seems to tell a story of the vicissitudes of time and perseverance. It should have been an indestructible bulwark against foreign enemies, making them hesitate to advance.
The fine weapons were neatly arranged in the warehouse, gleaming with a cold metallic luster.
Each item carries the powerful force of protecting the country and is a strong guarantee for defending the territory.
And those powerful cannons, like sleeping giants, lay dormant, yet should have roared like thunder.
It intimidated the enemy with overwhelming force, making them dare not even have the slightest thought of invading.
Such an impregnable defense line, like an indestructible fortress, how could it be so easily breached by the Kingdom of Jizi in an instant?
There must be some unknown, chilling, and earth-shattering secret hidden within.
Immediately, she anxiously asked Feng Qingyun in her heart. Although she tried her best to keep her voice calm, it still revealed a hint of urgency and seriousness that she could not hide.
It was as if every word carried an immense weight, and the slightest misstep would crush her last hope.
"Yun Dash, what heinous means did the Kingdom of Jizi use to breach the city gates?"
I remember clearly that the border guarded by my uncle was well-equipped with military weapons, and had a full range of artillery.
Both in terms of quantity and power, they are virtually indestructible.
But now, it has crumbled in an instant, ending up in such a tragic state.
Was it that our side had a despicable and shameless traitor who sold out their master for personal gain, or did the Kingdom of Jizi have some other insidious and cunning scheme that was impossible to guard against?
Qin Qianluo slowly opened her eyes, her once clear and bright eyes now shrouded in a layer of gloom.
His eyes gleamed with a sharp, eagle-like light, a resolute determination to uncover the truth and exact revenge.
It seems to pierce through layers of fog, strike at the core of the truth, and expose the evil hidden in the darkness.
