The captain then turned to the other soldiers and ordered, "Sound the war drums! Let's welcome the Great General and our brothers back gloriously!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The soldiers replied in unison, grabbed the war drumsticks, and began to beat the war drums.
Dum~! Duru~ Dum~! Dum~! Duru~ Dum~!
The moment the sounds of the war drums echoed in Xiqiang City, the common people paused what they were doing. They listened carefully for a moment, then realized that it was the sound of victory.
Putting down what they were doing, they rushed toward the city gate while cheering.
"The Great General has returned victoriously!"
"Our heroes have returned!"
In no time, the streets were crowded with common people. Some of them were waiting anxiously for their family members, while others were waiting to welcome their heroes and beloved Great General.
Before long, the common people saw Zhan Qi leading the army.
A young man pointed into the city gate and shouted excitedly, "It's General Zhan!"
