Jiang Tong's army marched in the darkness. The front-line soldiers had eaten cat-eye pills so that they could see in the dark. They didn't have enough pills to feed everyone, so the other soldiers attached bright flare stones to their uniforms. Some were even carrying banners attached with large bright flare stones that could illuminate large areas.
With those lights, it was impossible to mask their approach. Jiang Tong didn't mind, though. Even without those lights, the sound of tens of thousands of soldiers marching would have warned the enemies. His hope was for the enemies not to have enough time to prepare because the enemies didn't expect them to attack within the period of truce.
This hope was dashed when he heard commotion from the city above. Not long after, he saw wave upon wave of figures come out of the wall.
"Are those the controlled civilians?" Jiang Tong asked Liu Xun, who was using his Eagle Eye art.
"They are," Liu Xun confirmed.
