Xiao Tianyang did not rush into seclusion. Instead, he headed for the Imperial Study as quickly as possible.
Of course, some had arrived even before him.
Xiao He, Yue Fei, and Yue Shen were three of them.
As for the other officials, they were merely there to fill out the gathering.
Yet they could not be absent.
After all, their positions were connected to part of the logistical work.
Otherwise, why would they have come to the Imperial Study?
"Everyone knows about the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils, correct?"
Seeing the people present nod, Xiao Tianyang asked, "Tell me, what are your thoughts?"
Only then did he take a seat in the chair behind the desk.
Perhaps because he had rushed over, his breathing was still somewhat labored.
Yue Fei said gravely, "Whether it is the Elemental Kingdom or the God Realm, neither will continue sitting idle."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the moment the ten-day deadline arrives, they will immediately dispatch troops."
"Moreover, they will certainly use probing attacks to conceal their true intent to launch an offensive."
Xiao Tianyang's eyes lit up. "Grand Commandant, have you discovered something new?"
Yue Fei replied, "Does His Majesty still remember the Royal Shadow Guard you sent to infiltrate the God Realm?"
Xiao Tianyang broke out in a cold sweat.
He could not exactly say that he had deployed the Royal Shadow Guard to gather supplies, could he?
Would that not make him seem utterly incompetent?
Xiao Tianyang gave a light cough. "Of course I remember. Have they uncovered some crucial information?"
The topic shifted very smoothly, and Yue Fei seemed not to notice that something was off about his expression.
Yue Fei said, "According to the illustrations, the newest legion to appear in the God Realm should be Black Goat's personal guard."
