Qutai County was a small county town under the jurisdiction of South Nether Prefecture, inhabited by only tens of thousands of residents. However, despite its small size, the military forces dedicated to its defense were by no means insignificant.
When Shen Changqing arrived before Qutai County, he saw soldiers stationed on its relatively low city walls. Additionally, at the city gate entrance, soldiers were inspecting the travel permits of those wishing to enter. Seeing this, he couldn't help but think of Lin'an City. Lin'an City, though called a city, was not much larger than Qutai County and, moreover, had scarcely any military forces defending it. Frankly, it was probably among the weakest of cities. Shaking his head, Shen Changqing continued towards the city.
As he approached the city gate, soldiers intercepted him, giving Tiankui a few extra glances.
"What is that creature you have? It looks somewhat strange!" one asked.
