In a tavern, several well-informed brokers from Worldly society, watching a scene outside the window, one of them, with a finer sense of detail, thought something strange, and opened the discussion:
"Hey, according to the news currently spreading in the market, other than several Mountain-cutting Armies being completely wiped out, and the Devil Race frontlines massively retreating, why haven't we seen the banners of the Third Mountain and Ninth Mountain among these retreating troops?"
"Eh, indeed it seems so. But I've heard reliable news that two units were dispatched to garrison six thousand li away at Guang'an and Chishui respectively, guarding Weiyuan Pass near the Ten Thousand Mountains. This pass, similar to Dingshan Pass, is near Youmen Pass, just located to the east. It was attacked by Demons before Dingshan Pass fell, haven't you heard? The forces of Tenth Mountain and Eleventh Mountain were completely defeated in defense of the city."
