The officials saw that the Minister was still so composed, seemingly untroubled by the countless soldiers surrounding the city. What trump card did he still have?
There were no generals left to use in the Imperial Palace, and soldiers were even scarcer. What bargaining chip could possibly turn the tide?
All the officials pondered the Minister's words. He had repeatedly mentioned the First Emperor. The First Emperor had been the greatest emperor, expanding territory and waging war in every direction, with countless great generals under his command. He had gathered all the Empire's manpower, financial resources, and materials to forge forty-eight Imperial Arms to protect the peace of the Imperial Capital. Even if their wielders died, they would still protect the Empire from destruction. Even now, those Imperial Arms could not be replicated.
However, Imperial Arms had limited uses and could not truly accomplish much. Legend spoke of a Supreme Imperial Arm that only the emperor could use, but no one had ever seen it or even heard of it. It had become nothing more than a legend. Could such an Imperial Arm really exist?
These officials could only place their hopes on that. The legend was far too vague, because there had never been any information about this Supreme Imperial Arm within the Empire, nor had anyone ever seen an emperor use it. Even if it had been used, that part of history seemed to have been deliberately erased. Only after becoming emperor could one access it. Given the Little Emperor's trust in the Minister, the Minister had certainly seen it.
