What kind of enemy was the most terrifying?
In Ye Zhen's view, unknown enemies were terrifying, enemies lurking in the shadows were terrifying, and spies among one's own ranks were even more terrifying.
So when Ye Zhen received word of Demon Race traces appearing in Yonggu Prefecture, he let out a long breath of relief.
The enemy had been identified.
Once an enemy had been identified, it became a visible danger—and no longer quite so frightening.
Of course, in Ye Zhen's eyes, the Demon Race was not some enemy lurking in the dark.
A Demon Race force whose tracks had been so easily discovered by the two Void Hunter Kings, Feng Jiumo and Zhao Guanghai, was not worthy of becoming an enemy that worried Ye Zhen.
When Benevolent Sovereign Ji Long had openly issued an Imperial Decree to Prince Li Ji Yuan earlier, Prince Li Ji Yuan's reaction had been incomparably swift, and his response flawless. That had made Ye Zhen suspect that information had leaked from the upper ranks.
But there were simply too many people in Great Zhou's court who might have passed information to Prince Li Ji Yuan. It was difficult to determine exactly who it was.
That was an extremely dangerous situation. It meant Great Zhou's high-level strategy could be leaked to the enemy at any time.
As Governor of North Sea, Ye Zhen would have to report any future movements of the Zhenhai Army to the War Ministry.
If there was a traitor among the upper ranks, then the Zhenhai Army's military operations might hold no secrets whatsoever from the enemy.
Thus, Ye Zhen had wanted to use this opportunity to test it out, though he had only been taking a chance.
But the result had exceeded Ye Zhen's expectations.
