Chapter 612: 592

The secret guard of Lord Thursday, when he left the capital, was comprised of hundreds of people, including those he owned and those borrowed from the Cui family of Qinghe by the Duke's wife. Now, they were reduced to just dozens, all severely injured and barely holding on. The secret guard of Lord Chang, which had left the Daliang border and came to Nanchu, had also been reduced from a few hundred to nearly just dozens, including Lang Ying. Fang Yue's men who joined the war later than they did were now less than a hundred, most of whom were just clinging onto life.
