Zhao Xun hadn't said it outright, but his insistence that Scarred Man and Glasses Girl quickly share everything they had learned made them instinctively assume his control over the Rabbit King wouldn't last long.
Neither dared waste any more time. They quickly reported their findings.
Glasses Girl had obtained definite information from the Chief Dancer. The Rabbit King had three scepters. The one he commonly used-the Ruby Scepter he was currently holding-symbolized supreme authority but had no practical function.
Another was the Sapphire Scepter, used for various ceremonies. It wasn't used often, but it could occasionally be seen.
The last was the Emerald Scepter, which the Rabbit King brought out least often. That was the scepter that could command the army.
Scarred Man's information was also quite detailed.
There were ten thousand Rabbit Soldiers in total, including the guards.
They had five commanders, who divided those ten thousand soldiers into five units of two thousand each.
The Emerald Scepter could indeed command the army, but the five units attached different levels of importance to it.
Three units recognized only the scepter. Whoever held the Emerald Scepter could give them orders.
They would obey regardless of whether the wielder was royalty or whether the orders were reasonable.
Of the other two units, one was specifically responsible for patrolling the palace. That unit obeyed only the Rabbit King.
