Kerridwen had gathered an army of nearly 700,000 in the Northern Country, with thousands of Golden Descendantss and the Millelith. Looking at this formation, it seemed she intended to take out the Empire and the resistance in one fell swoop.
Facing such a terrifying army, the Empire naturally could not do nothing... rather, they had already made complete preparations.
In the great hall of the Empire, the ministers and the little Emperor had already arrived, waiting for the meeting that was about to begin.
"As expected, after waiting for so long, that Kerridwen has finally attacked... Next, it's our turn to deal with the resistance. Although I don't know what those guys are thinking, it definitely won't be anything good."
Honest was still in that "none of my business" attitude, as if the survival of the Empire had nothing to do with him, even though he was the Minister of the Empire.
"Are we really okay with preparing so casually, Dad?"
The Minister's son, Syura, looked a bit unpleasant, because up to now, the Empire had long since had no elite troops and was simply unable to support the upcoming war.
They couldn't even manage to secure logistics and supplies!
So how was this war to be fought?
"That's also true, Syura."
Honest stood beside the little Emperor, his eyes sweeping over the civil and military officials below the stage; surprisingly, he actually spoke the truth for once?
"The situation in the Empire is now very dire. General Budo is dead, many elite generals have been killed, and even the captain of the Assassin force has died tragically... Undoubtedly, the Empire has reached its most critical moment!"
"If we continue to let those traitors from the North advance south, I fear our Empire, which has been maintained for a thousand years, will also disappear into the long river of history, right?"
The ministers in the court were very surprised at this moment, because none of them had ever seen Honest so pessimistic... which meant that this impending national doom was real?
"Then what should we do?"
I don't know who it was that asked the question at this moment; although the voice was not loud, it could reach everyone present.
"This question hits the nail on the head!"
Honest didn't care who asked the question, but it just happened to give him the opportunity for his next plan.
"Your Majesty, given that the Empire is now in dire straits, I humbly implore Your Majesty to use that legendary power!"
"Legendary power?"
Most people were blank-faced when they heard these words; although they were ministers of the Empire, they rarely understood the internal situation of the Empire... after all, most of them were just parasites!
But there were still a small number of old ministers who widened their eyes at this moment and trembling recited that name.
"Could it be the legendary supreme imperial arms?"
"That's right, it is the legendary supreme imperial arms, the ultimate weapon that legend says possesses the power comparable to gods, and can only be used by those with deep Imperial bloodline!"
Speaking of the supreme imperial arms, the Minister's expression immediately became exaggerated, and even the corners of his eyes became moist.
"Your Majesty, countless soldiers have already given everything for this country, and even if a hundred times or a thousand times more people must be sacrificed, the soldiers still want to save this country."
