But before he could even get anywhere, he was sent to Wulan City, and then to Maimai City. Kong Yue wasn't afraid of battlefield combat; in fact, he was even a little excited about it. But this damned Yue really made him feel frustrated.
Kong Yue quickly reached the city wall, glanced outside, and his heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat flustered. In the distance below, countless siege ladders and catapults were densely packed together.
