"Chen Yuan! Chen Yuan!"
The roar of the enraged dragon reverberated mightily, startling the sky.
It caused the dome of heaven to thunder loudly, the sound rolling out in all directions.
At the Northern City Gate of White Emperor City, horses were spooked, their frightened whinnies causing chaos.
People and horses from all directions were shouting, their faces shocked as they looked up in surprise.
Then, atop the city walls, a piercing alarm whistle sounded long and continuous.
"Something's happening!"
"Arm yourselves and man the walls!"
The Pass Military Officer's face changed instantly, and with a fierce stamp of his foot, he leapt like a tiger, landing on top of the city wall.
His eyes, sharp as a leopard's, suddenly lit up with an intimidating brilliance, aimed at the distant horizon.
The next second, his pupils constricted to slits, his face turned stern, and he let out a loud shout.
"Enemy attack!"
"Sound the drums!"
