Battle for Northern Frontier: The game begins with the grassland woman buying him.

The city gates were ultimately held, but the area inside and outside Stone City was now scorched earth, littered with corpses, and the air was thick with the lingering stench of blood and burnt flesh; the stench of death had permeated the entire city.

Although the sudden attack was repelled by the remnants of the army Su Zhan brought back and the city's garrison, the price paid by the Fierce Dragon Gang was devastating.

The city walls were damaged in many places, and fires broke out in many places inside the city. The most valuable fighting force was lost again. This time, the Fierce Dragon Gang was really severely weakened.

And in the distance, the figure of the grassland man who had been spying on Su Zhan and his group from the Golden Eagle tribe reappeared.

They gazed at the distant Stone City and Su Zhan standing at the city gate, their eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light.

Neither of them spoke a word to each other, but what had just happened left them unable to calm down for a long time.

They had never seen such a powerful person before, capable of leading a group of battered soldiers to hold off the attack of so many grassland warriors.

These Han people are truly incredibly brave, even more so than those from the Golden Eagle tribe.

In the end, the two men didn't say anything, turned around and left to report back to the prince.

At the city gate, Su Zhan had no idea that this was not their mistake, but someone's scheme against them.

Moreover, Su Zhan doesn't have time to think about these things right now; the entire Stone City is in chaos.

Although the grassland people have temporarily retreated, it is unknown whether they will return. They need to hurry up and repair the city walls, settle the wounded, and tidy up the entire shattered stone city.

Su Zhan was too badly injured and fainted as soon as he was helped into the city gate. He knew nothing about what happened after that.

……

Three days later, when Su Zhan woke up with a start, the scars on his body that had not yet fully healed stimulated his mind. He looked around and found himself lying safely in bed, but Lin Yuer was nowhere to be seen.

Su Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. He had just dreamt that the city gates had fallen and the entire city had been slaughtered by the grassland people, turning it into a hellish place. The people in the city, along with all the members of the Fierce Dragon Gang, were all wiped out by the grassland people.

The school was engulfed in flames, and the children perished in the inferno.

When Su Zhan recalled the scene in his dream, only two words came to mind: revenge!

That's right, now he wants to wipe them out completely, to exterminate all the remaining tribes of the steppe people.

Although they retreated this time, they will definitely come back again.

The Soviet Union has no confidence that it can defeat them again in the next war!

Su Zhan struggled to get out of bed, but as soon as he stood up, a feeling of weakness and powerlessness overwhelmed him, and he instantly collapsed to the ground.

Just then, Lin Yuer walked in.

Lin Yuer was carrying a basin of water, intending to wash Su Zhan's body, but when she saw that Su Zhan had already gotten out of bed and was lying on the ground covered in sweat, she was terrified and dropped the basin of water with a thud. Ignoring everything else, she rushed to Su Zhan's side and helped him up.

"Husband, why are you up? You've been unconscious for three days and you're still very weak. Go back to bed."

Lin Yuer helped Su Zhan back to bed. He breathed a sigh of relief. He had been too reckless and impulsive just now. He shouldn't have gotten out of bed, as it had aggravated his injuries.

He took a deep breath and asked Lin Yu'er, "How is things in the city now?"

Lin Yuer forced a smile. "Husband, don't worry. The second-in-command is in charge of things in the city. Everything will be fine."

Su Zhan nodded. With Bai Zhanqiu around, he really didn't need to worry. He was just a tool of the Fierce Dragon Gang, while Bai Zhanqiu was the true backbone of the Fierce Dragon Gang.

Subsequently, Su Zhan learned more about the casualties of the Fierce Dragon Gang in the city from Lin Yuer.

Su Zhan was increasingly alarmed as he listened. The casualties in the city were unimaginable; not to mention the civilians, countless houses had been destroyed.

Although the steppe people did not breach the city, the damage they caused was still terrifying, and it would be difficult to recover from it in a short time.

Moreover, if Su Zhan hadn't returned in time and brought these people into the battle, things would have turned out just like what happened in Su Zhan's dream once those grassland people stormed into the city.

The entire Stone City would probably cease to exist.

Thinking of this, Su Zhan clenched his fists, and a huge surge of anger welled up inside him.

He still feels terrified when he thinks about it now. If they hadn't seen through the enemy's trap in the Golden Eagle Tribe, if they hadn't successfully counterattacked and returned in time, Su Zhan, Lin Yuer, and Lin Qingshan would probably be separated by death now.

As Su Zhan was thinking, he heard footsteps coming from the doorway.

Lin Qingshan walked in and immediately asked Lin Yuer, "How is Su Zhan?"

Lin Yu'er quickly said to Lin Qingshan, "My husband is awake!"

Lin Qingshan was overjoyed and sat down on the edge of the bed, asking Su Zhan, "How is it?"

Su Zhan forced a smile. "Big brother, I'm fine. How are things going in the city?"

Lin Qingshan said, "Don't worry, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. The city wall has been repaired, and even if those wolf cubs come back, they won't be able to break in."

Furthermore, we have strengthened the defenses both inside and outside the city. If they dare approach Stone City, I will definitely detect them. We won't let them easily reach the city walls again like last time.

Su Zhan nodded slightly, and then voiced his biggest question: "Brother, there seems to be something fishy about this. We were ambushed by the Golden Eagle tribe, and right at that moment, the remaining three tribes attacked Stone City. This is simply unbelievable."

I suspect someone is tipping them off; there's probably a spy among us.

Lin Qingshan nodded. "The second-in-command thinks so too. He has thoroughly investigated the entire Fierce Dragon Gang and found that there are no traitors among us. This matter probably originated from outside."

Su Zhan frowned. This was beyond his expectations. The traitor was not inside, but outside. Was that possible?

He led 1500 soldiers to raid the Golden Eagle tribe at night. These men were carefully selected by Zhao Kui and Wild Chicken Neck. If it wasn't these men who betrayed the Fierce Dragon Gang, but rather those outsiders, then who were those outsiders?

How could they possess such extraordinary abilities? It's simply unbelievable that they were able to ascertain Su Zhan's movements in just one night, relay all of this to the other tribes, and enable them to launch a counter-strategy against Su Zhan's plan in the shortest possible time, causing such heavy casualties today. The power of these people is terrifying beyond measure.

Su Zhan frowned and thought for a moment, when suddenly three words popped into his mind.

Without any hesitation, Su Zhan said directly to Lin Qingshan, "Brother, do you think these people might be from the Royal Court?"

A glint of light flashed in Lin Qingshan's eyes as he asked Su Zhan, "What's the basis for your statement?"

Su Zhan shook his head. "There's no basis for this. It's all based on my intuition. This is all too incredible. Unless it's them, it's hard to imagine why this would happen."
