Sang Que and Qiao Ling approached the pass, and immediately an arrow shot down from the city wall, embedding itself dozens of meters ahead of them.
"Halt!"
Sang Que and Qiao Ling stopped in their tracks, both looked up toward the city wall.
Every ten meters along the wall was a brazier, with a row of guards holding longbows standing there. Cannons were also mounted between the guards, their dark muzzles aimed at the open space below.
Directly above the city gate, stood a person in armor different from the other guards, holding a monocular and looking in their direction.
Sang Que took a closer look at the cannons, noting their old design, and recalled that she had never seen cannons in Wangshan City or during her trip to Xunzhou, implying they must have been kept in storage, only brought out for real battles.
If the Xuan Dynasty has already started using cannons widely and firearms become common in the future, then Bright Moon Mountain must also prepare.
