Although Ye Shikai couldn't confirm whether the Wolf Clan's approach to the city was an "unexpected attack" or a "bluff," since the fortress was in danger, as the Commander, he had to return to oversee the battle. Even if he couldn't borrow troops, he must defend the fortress with his brothers.
"General Meng, I must return immediately. I hope the General will consider the greater good and quickly allocate reinforcements to the fortress. I must take my leave now." Ye Shikai turned around, ready to leave.
"Hold on, Ye." Suddenly, Meng Tian called out to Ye Shikai.
"I have five thousand guards. I will allocate two thousand to you. Bring them back in two weeks."
"This... Great General, this doesn't seem appropriate."
"Say no more, just take them. There are defenses everywhere around Ji County; I don't need so many to protect me." Meng Tian handed a token to Ye Shikai. "Remember, don't disappoint me."
