Summary

The chapter depicts the struggles of the Yutian people against the Karakhanid state, highlighting the disparity in military strength and resources. Wang Ning Xuan leads a charge that decimates Ai He Mai De’s forces and continues westward, with Wei Chi Yan and Zhao Li following. The Yutian remnants, primarily consisting of women and children, face dire conditions under the Karakhanid's control, forced to survive in a desolate environment. As the Karakhanid cavalry camps near Puchang Lake, the Yutian people, filled with despair, cling to the hope of reinforcements from the Celestial Empire. When the Celestial Empire's forces arrive, led by Wei Chi Yan and Zhao Li, the Yutian people are initially skeptical but soon erupt in tears of joy. The chapter culminates in a brutal reckoning where a young boy avenges his mother’s death by killing a Karakhanid raider, symbolizing the release of pent-up anger and grief among the Yutian survivors. Meanwhile, in Qin Zhou, Wang Ning An orders the castration of captives, ensuring they can no longer fight, as preparations for further actions against their enemies continue.
