"Prince Zhenbei is right, with such formidable enemies at our doorsteps, we cannot afford to falter in our own ranks."
Emperor Wei glanced around, his furious expression unexpectedly giving way to a smile, as if the previous scolding had never occurred.
"It's rare for Prime Minister Xie and Prince Zhenbei to share the same thoughts."
"In that case, the matter of Beixiong Pass shall be decided by your consultation, Duke Wuan, Duke Jingye, you two be ready to take orders at any moment!"
"Yes!"
Chen Taiping bowed respectfully, his gaze fleetingly meeting the elderly and frail Zhou Tiance without a change of expression.
Emperor Wei rose from his seat to leave, talking as he walked: "Additionally, I must remind you all."
"In a few months, the grand event will commence, and I hope the Demon Court will be driven back before that!"
"Your servant understands!"
Du Qing and Xie Jing exchanged a glance, knowing full well that the Emperor's words were essentially an ultimatum.
