"Yes!"
The Deputy General immediately went down to deliver the order. In no time, the archers within the ranks took their orders and moved to the high grounds on either side of the valley entrance, all arrows aimed at the valley entrance.
The narrow entrance could only allow at most a couple of riders to pass through at once, while there were dozens of archers ready. Anyone attempting to rush out from within would have no chance of escaping such a trap.
Having settled these men, the Deputy General then commanded several more units to guard the mouth of the valley.
These men worried most about those in the valley making a breakout under the cover of night, so every night they guarded tirelessly. Last night was no different, leaving them a bit weary by morning. They could only stomp out the campfires, clutching their swords and shaking as they trudged toward the valley entrance.
At this moment, a sudden commotion pierced the silence of the mountain ridge.
