Today's fourth update: Chapter 3048! 4/4!
She paused, her tone certain. "In my view, the second layer refers to my younger brother—She Tu Renekton."
The Eighth Prince raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? What makes you say that?"
"Back then, it was the second brother's idea to strongly recommend Renekton as commander-in-chief of the Wild Hunt Operation coalition." Tingsha the Beautiful said slowly. "Since he dared to recommend him, he must have believed Renekton was the most suitable candidate at present. Now that the first three battlefields have suffered consecutive defeats and morale is wavering, although we entrusted the war entirely to Renekton before, we have never thoroughly gone over the details of the situation with him. Summoning him back to the royal court now would, first, let us probe his true thoughts on the coming battles, and second, let him feel the royal court's regard and stabilize the commander-in-chief's authority."
Her words were exactly what the Eighth Prince wanted to hear.
Although he had always felt that She Tu Renekton was rash and lacking in thoroughness, the man was, after all, a prodigy who had risen to prominence in the same era as Xu Kun. He had earned his reputation through genuine military achievements during the Crocodile Race's unification war, and he was fiercely loyal to the Black Tortoise Race. Especially after Si's death in battle, he had come to hate Huang to the bone. That hatred could also become sharpness on the battlefield.
"Deliver my order. Summon She Tu Renekton back to the royal court at once to discuss military matters!" the Eighth Prince commanded in a deep voice, his tone carrying unquestionable authority.
In less than half a cup of tea's time, heavy footsteps sounded outside the hall, followed by a booming shout. "Brother-in-law! Sis! I'm back!"
