This war was definitely one of the fiercest war General Duan had encountered in his entire life.
After a while of looking around, General Duan stepped down the stairs and saw some officials who were still working together. For the sake of Da Yi City, many people had come to participate in this war and put away their displeasure to General Duan.
Perhaps, by now, they had already accepted the fact that General Duan would be their leader.
Even if they were disappointed once by him and unwilling to treat him well, General Duan still protected their city with all he had. What right do they have to ignore him and hated him?
They could only put away their displeasure and instead channeled their energy for their own sake.
They didn't want to die.
So they will work hard to make this thought a reality.
Work hard for their own city and their family.
As for their grudge towards General Duan, it was put aside for the time being so that they could continue moving forward.
"Father."
General Duan turned to the side and saw his first son, Duan Shang Yi, who had lost an arm in the war against Fei Yang Kingdom many years ago and now become an official. His rank was not high but he was still working for the city for the sake of his family.
After all, no matter what, being an official meant that he had enough salary to sustain the lives of the people in his family.
Even though Duan Shang Yi might not have much loyalty towards Fei Yang Kingdom, he was still willing to become an official in Da Yi City.
Because his family is here.
He will be there for them.
"Duan Shang Yi, what is it?" General Duan asked.
Duan Shang Yi looked at his father, who had looked much older. The treatment in Da Yi City for Duan Family was not too good but his father still worked for these people. And as the war continued, he could see that a portion of people raised their own hands to pick up weapons and fight but there were also those who chose to hide and sneak away.
They were too afraid to fight.
Thus, all they could do was to hide.
And among these cowards, many of them were still complaining about General Duan, saying bad things about his father.
Duan Shang Yi wouldn't believe that his father hadn't heard of these people's complain.
And this made him rather confused and conflicted.
"Why do you defend this city even when you know that many people will not feel anything for you? They will even talk bad things about you on your back." Duan Shang Yi asked and looked at his father seriously.
General Duan arced his eyebrows. "Do I need a reason?"
