“Great!”
Lin Jinzhou’s confidence doubled, not dodging nor avoiding, aiming his spear straight at Yu Yang’s face.
The brothers worked together in tacit understanding, forcing Yu Yang to retreat continuously.
“Attack!”
As the city gate opened, the morale of the Lin Clan soldiers soared.
At Second Uncle Lin’s command, ten thousand light cavalry responded unanimously, and charged into the city tower on horseback.
The heavy-armored soldiers followed, advancing with great momentum and overwhelming force, capturing Yan City and sweeping away the enemy.

In the main commander’s tent of the military camp, Lin Yixuan suddenly covered his forehead and let out a painful groan.
Lin Qingluo’s pretty face changed color, and she rushed to his side in one quick step.
“Sister, our father is coming.”
Lin Yixuan forced a bitter smile, and his eyes filled with unshed tears.
“For a woman, he abandoned his wife and child; he still dares to come!”
Lin Qingluo scolded coldly, but she soon realized her words might not be appropriate and unconsciously looked at Lin Yixuan.
Indeed, Lin Yixuan’s face turned pale, and he looked at her in astonishment. “Sister, do you know Father is in the Beiqi Imperial Palace?”
“Sigh.”
Lin Qingluo felt disheartened and no longer kept the secret. “I knew before we came, it’s just that it involves some other things, so I didn’t tell you.”
“Sister, did Father really… ”
Lin Yixuan’s tears welled up in his eyes, trying to hold back but ultimately, they still fell. “Did he really abandon me and the Empress Mother for a woman?”
“Sigh.”
With a deep sigh, Lin Qingluo hugged the sobbing boy tightly.
“Sister, why do people have to grow up?”
Yixuan muffled his cries in his sister’s chest, sobbing painfully. “Yixuan doesn’t want to grow up, really doesn’t want to grow up…”
“Yixuan, everyone will grow up.”
Lin Qingluo’s heart ached, and she gently patted his back, comforting him in a soft voice: “When you grow up, you have to face many unexpected things—pain, setbacks, separations, and death. No one’s life is smooth sailing.”
“Sister, please don’t leave Yixuan, okay?”
Yixuan burst into tears: “The Empress Mother is dead, Father doesn’t want me, and Yixuan has no relatives left, only you, Sister.”
“Good boy, don’t cry.”
Lin Qingluo’s tears blurred her vision, but her voice was both tender and firm: “Sister will never leave Yixuan. For the rest of my life, I will love you, protect you, and never change.”

“Hahaha, I feel so good! I alone defeated a whole squad of Beiqi soldiers!”
“You think your little achievement is worth bragging about? Brother Meng is truly impressive! With his own strength, he smashed open the city gates, and the guards were scared to death!” 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
“Hehe, I couldn’t have done it without the Strength Talisman.”
“Brother Yu and Brother Zhou are amazing; they worked together to defeat Yu Yang! He’s hailed as the once-in-a-century fierce general, the number one warlord of Beiqi.”
“Bah! The so-called once-in-a-century fierce general is nothing in front of our Master. Just a whirlwind and all his enemies run away faster than anyone else.”
“Master is a god, can ordinary people compare to him?”
“Oh my, you’re even more boastful than me! I didn’t have the face to flatter, praising our Master as the God of War.”
“God of War is a cool title, much better than the lame ‘number one general’.”
“Mmm, I think so too. Our Master wins every battle. Only the title ‘God of War’ can perfectly describe his prowess.”
After the great battle, the Qi Army was defeated, and the Lin Clan Army successfully captured Yan City, occupying the most important border fortress of Beiqi.
The three apprentices were still excited from the fierce battle and laughed and joked until dusk.
“Little sister, all the captured soldiers have surrendered. Where should we go next? Which city should we attack?”
