Ji Fa turned to Guiguzi. "Sir, I'll have to trouble you to make another trip. Explain the stakes and convey my intentions clearly. In this battle, none of us has any way out."
"If..." Ji Fa's expression darkened. "If they insist on holding the position of alliance leader, we can agree for now. But I also want to know whether this alliance leader even has the authority to command me."
Guiguzi nodded. "This old subject understands. In addition, we cannot afford to let our guard down against Great Yu."
"Yu Emperor has remained completely inactive all this time, and his intentions are truly impossible to fathom. Although Great Yu rarely makes a move, no one dares underestimate its strength."
"We still need to send elite scouts to keep a close eye on any disturbance in Great Yu to the north."
Ji Fa nodded. "Remind those two fools of these matters as well. They mustn't focus only on resisting Great Qin, or they'll end up being robbed by Great Yu."
"Also tell them that if we win this battle, everyone can rely on their own abilities to contend for the Human Emperor's position."
"But all spoils obtained on the battlefield, including fortune, can be distributed fairly according to military merit and the amount of effort contributed."
"If they still refuse even this... then they can wait to be picked off one by one by Ying Zheng and Yu Emperor!"
"Report—!"
Just as the atmosphere in the hall grew tense, an urgent report rang out from outside the hall.
A scout general, dusty from his journey, immediately rushed in, dropped to one knee, and spoke with a trace of panic in his voice.
"Your Majesty! The undercover agents have reported! Great Qin's envoy, Han Fei, has already entered Great Yu's territory!"
"What?"
