Cao Fengqi attended Great Xia’s highest decision-making council meeting and assessed the strength of its generals. The council began debating four proposals for settling and defending the Land of Dawn, but the meeting paused on questions about threats from the ocean and the prophet’s warning that the land was a trap.

• Cao Fengqi inspected the assembled generals and found only two with combat power comparable to level 10, one from the Capital and one from the Demon Capital.

• Cao Fengqi said he wanted to guard the coast, while Xu Zhenjiang told him he would need to work at the planned Transcendent Arsenal.
• General Song explained that competition for the fifty coastal posts would be fierce and likely decided by strength, which made Cao Fengqi smile.
