The starting years were great; everyone was happy with Andis taking over as the city lord and did not even care about the cause of Xu Shang's death.
To them, he was a tyrant!
And Andis was their liberator; she saved them, not only from the beast tide but also from Xu Shang's torture.
She started by taking away the thing that they hated the most, the compulsory army training.
No one had to join the army unless they wanted to.
Another change that happened was regarding the taxes. Andis reduced the taxes by 10%, which was enough for her to gain the support of the people.
But then, the veil of happiness was slowly turned down when the beast tide struck the city once more.
When the soldiers were sent to the battlefield, only the survivors of the previous tide showed any promise in handling the beast tide.
They fought valiantly while the new recruits only stood there, shaking in their boots as the spirit beasts bit off their heads.
