For an isolated army, the most important thing is hope. Of course, the Shengle Army's situation wasn't as dire as that of a traditional "isolated army," as the wild people opposing them hadn't applied much significant pressure recently. The siege defense had slowly begun to feel like a routine government office check-in. Sometimes, when sheer boredom set in, they would deliberately create an opening to let some wild people in for a bit of sport, even enthusiastically offering them lodging for the night.
However, when news of the wild people's collapsing front line arrived, the atmosphere within Shengle City surged with excitement. Everyone knew why they were defending this place and understood the rewards and merits their General Zheng would gain after the final victory. Consequently, cheers erupted along the city walls, rising and falling in waves.
