The enemy retreated swiftly, and their withdrawal was executed with remarkable organization.
The infantry pulled back first while the cavalry covered their rear, abandoning most of the cumbersome baggage such as the heavy cannons.
Despite the great losses this incurred, it ensured their rapid evacuation.
Therefore, when Wang Chen arrived at the foot of Hanhai City with hundreds of warriors from the Taoist Palace, aside from corpses and broken weaponry, no enemy presence remained.
The gates of Hanhai City opened forthwith, and a valkyrie led a troop of light cavalry charging out.
Before reaching Wang Chen and his party, the armored general immediately fell from his horse and knelt to salute, "Subordinate Lu Yunfei, greets National Master!"
Wang Chen nodded slightly, "Dispense with the formalities."
