"I understand. I've already summoned those subordinates who were lying in wait, and had them stabilize the Aurora Empire as quickly as possible."
Duanmu Rui spoke solemnly.
"On my way here, I also called the military personnel. With the Aurora Emperor dead, everyone in North Star City is currently panic-stricken, and everyone is scrambling to protect themselves. This is precisely the time most favorable for us to take control of the Aurora Empire. I've already contacted home. Soon, Prime Minister Yasso and Shou Zhen will personally lead a large number of elite forces to the Aurora Empire and stabilize the situation there."
Zhang Xingsheng chimed in.
"Prime Minister Yasso and Shou Zhen are both coming to the Aurora Empire?"
Baili Qingfeng was somewhat surprised. "Don't they need to handle things at home?"
"The situation at home is still stable for now. Even if Prime Minister Yasso leaves for a while, it won't cause any major problems. With the other cabinet members and the First Prince, the kingdom can continue operating. The Aurora Empire is where manpower is truly needed. The Aurora Empire is currently at an extremely critical turning point. If we handle it well, the Aurora Empire will merge with the Xia Kingdom just as Sect Leader Baili Qingfeng hopes. But if we handle it poorly... the Aurora Empire will descend into chaos, and the entire East Divine Continent will be affected and thrown into turmoil."
"We must handle it well."
Baili Qingfeng spoke heavily.
Zhang Xingsheng glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sect Leader Baili, we really need you to show yourself. It's just that your injuries..."
"Although my injuries are severe, everyone is working to preserve the merger between the Aurora Empire and the Xia Kingdom. As the initiator, how could I stand aside?
