On the rooftop, the night wind was fierce. The lights painted the faces of dozens of Jiepeng officers with shades of blue and white. In front of them was a wide platform, with the railings at the platform's edge hidden in the darkness. Looking past the figure standing beside the railing with hands behind their back, one could see the flickering lights of Beiguan City's entirety.
This Chuckna city was now under their feet. They had taken control of the city but had not completed the final conquest. Thinking of the Chuckna Forces that had been driven to the brink but managed to escape the encirclement and slip into the Northern Mountain Region. Thinking of the increasingly rampant resistance across Canglang Star due to this escape. Thinking of those laughing Chuckna people amidst the city's lights, waves of shame, anger, and resentment churned within the chests of these Jiepeng Nobles.
