Hearing Zhu Yinian's words, Yan Lian gradually calmed down.
Yes, he had almost lost his mind.
With the eighth brother and sister-in-law being so formidable, those sinister plots and schemes surely couldn't harm them.
"I must defend this place and wait for their return!"
Yan Lian gripped the long spear in his hand and then spoke in a fierce tone.
At that moment, he possessed an aura similar to Yan Lin's on the battlefield years ago.
"They want to breach Tongzhou, seize Nanduan Kingdom, and, while at it, advance northwards to swallow Yan Country and become the overlord of the world. I will show them just how laughable their wishful thinking really is!"
He continued to speak in a cold voice.
"Open the city gates," Zhu Yinian ordered, seeing that their people were almost ready, he said to the men behind him.
"Yes, General."
Soon, the city gates opened.
Their three deputy generals, leading fewer than a thousand men, came out.
