The palace was filled with tension as the king stared intently at his soldiers, who continued to follow his instructions. Since it was a war, he couldn't just jump at the scene and start fighting. He had a lot of preparation to do.
When it came to the citizens' evacuation authority, he had to make sure that it was passed on to a trustworthy individual. Secondly, a few high-ranking soldiers were required to remain in the palace to handle a few situations and send reinforcements if necessary. He also had to find the officials and call them for an urgent meeting in the court to give his instructions in case he died in the war.
Finally, he could breathe a sigh of relief after going through the first two steps. He was still in the court while having a last-minute meeting with his officers about the war strategies. At this time, not just court officials but also his soldiers had been standing before him, giving him frequent ideas about it.
