The situation at the Border was tense. Before Pei Yan arrived, the army was fractured into several factions, utterly disorganized.
Pei Yan was once the Young General, famed for his military achievements.
Now, he was a Prince of distinguished status.
It was enough to command respect.
From the day he arrived at the camp, he held absolute authority. Everyone had to obey his commands.
But some still schemed behind his back.
A traitor leaked intelligence, coordinating with the enemy from within to launch a surprise attack on the camp.
Having followed General Mei to the battlefield since he was very young, Pei Yan's ability to handle crises after years of campaigning was unquestionable.
The enemy was so desperate to take Pei Yan's life that they dispatched their elite forces. They launched a surprise attack under the cover of darkness, aided by their mole.
Although they repelled the enemy in the first clash, the traitor took advantage of the chaos to set fire to the grain stores.
