Hao Ren issued the decree and the military was gathered. The entire Crescent Moon Empire turned into a war factory. The blacksmiths began to forge armors and swords. The spirit vessels were refitted, and high level arrays were inscribed upon them. The atmosphere in the empire had taken a sharp turn.
While the soldiers were happy that they will finally get to fight, the families of those in the military weren't. Hao Ren was reading a few reports when Ye Yue walked over and said, "Big brother, it seems that the people are in distress."
Hao Ren sighed and replied, "It is never about those who leave but the ones who are left behind."
He picked up a quill and wrote down a letter on it. Then he gave it to Ye Yue and said, "Have this read to everyone. This is my speech, I would have done it myself but at this moment, there are many things I need to look after. I will beg them for forgiveness later on."
