Only a few hours earlier, he had received intelligence that a Great Shun Profound Cave Observation Fighter had seemingly appeared on the Frontline. To be safe, he had rushed over.
Generally speaking, Profound Cave Observation Fighters did not appear in battles between Great Shun and the Old Imperial Household. At most, there would be Longevity Observation Fighters.
