On the first day of the chaotic war —

The Dragon King issued a decree, des surrender, abdicate frouration Of course, such a rude and tyrannical order received no approval, and war broke out right that afternoon

To distinguish it froht the old Khan died, this second as named the “One Month War,” to indicate that it started exactly a month after the Khan’s death

The Court Attendants Arents of 10,000 troops each Half of them were sent to clear the ruins of the Royal Court, while the other half marched forward, each in different directions, the furthest target being hundreds of miles away

The 30,000 cavalrymen of Shulitu were also sent to the battlefield of the Royal Court as the ars had i a banner of the “Five Kings” with troops nu

The Court Attendants Arth, but they also exposed the immaturity of their newly-promoted officers They defeated enemies of similar numbers with thousands of casualties, and it was not until the 30,000 reserve army launched an attack after dark that they finally annihilated the enemy

Gu Shenatched the battle, but didn’t take part Throughout it all, the giant red-crowned roc stood beside hi a wild assault with each take-off

The victory was not a decisive one Although King Shengri’s ar theirtens of miles away, they still numbered tens of thousands

Eventually, under Shulitu’s nae numbers of corpses appeared in the ruins Gu Shenwei had to try very hard to stop the giant roc fro out the eyeballs of those dead bodies

After returning to the camp, Shulitu became much quieter than usual He took off his armor and took his leave very early He had heard far more intense war stories from others and had also seen thehts, no matter however vivid and rich they were, could not possibly coory reality

He needed ti Wenshi+ didn’t witness the battle He had found hihly inappropriate for me to see too much blood And that’s because both fear and sye and Shulitu must be on the battlefield, and he had a different theory for that as well Rulers must be ruthless How can they rule a nation if they can’t handle a few scenes of death?

Fang Wenshi+ was satisfied with the results of the battle, saying, “King Shengri is about to lose Winning this battle in Royal Court has given us the absolute initiative With just one s will undoubtedly surrender theht to Wenshi+ was a little surprised, “If King Shengri refuses to fight us, then we can have the Court Attendants Arht, which is perfect”

“King Shengri will hold his ground Besides, our troops need rest”

Fang Wenshi+ becah he could tell that there was soon King’s judgement “Isn’t it better this way?”

A tired ar a scared one was the perfect setup for a pyrrhic victory

“You don’t want the whole army to question your leadershi+p, do you?”

“No, of course not” Fang Wenshi+ hesitated for a ht be nice as well “Dragon King, you won’t… change your h for you You’re used to being known for your reputation of protecting your men with even your own life, and yet now… ”

“We will rest for two days and then resume the attack Any news from the southeast?”

“Not for now But I think that it’s almost time We need to finish this as soon as possible”

The armies in the Royal Court were only a part of the Norland’s th, not even a majority of it The main forces were deployed at the southeast frontier, always ready for a final battle against the Central Plains

Ever since the death of the old Khan, the situation at the frontier regions had always been a reat concern But now that a month had passed by, and there was still barely any news co in Gu Shenwei only knew that the riots there were flaring up, but the final winner to reap all the benefit still re Wenshi+ retreated He had barely stepped out of the tent when he saw a s towards hiht for a while and then tried followed them inside the tent, but was abrasively asked to leave by two officers

The group numbered eleven in total, and had the Second Consort as their leader The folloere all young officers, a ere included Azheba and Liman as proanize his troops, so he had forcefully cole major one The Second Consort’s camp was at the center, surrounded by the others like a central caue conjecture of their purpose

The officers bowed to Dragon King respectfully, but the Second Consort, unlike usual, stood arrogantly

She was discontented by the ulti Much as she would like to see the kings surrender and prostrate themselves, there was another result she would enjoy ot about Prince Duodun’

These eleven people were the backbone of Duodun’s roup who had taken the Dragon King’s side
