Fang Jie took the letter, which was a directive issued directly to Mobs by the New Moon Kingdom.
There were two places that sent directives to him: one was the Royal Family, and the other was surprisingly the frontline command.
Fang Jie first read the request—or rather, the demand—from the frontline command. It stated that he was part of the New Moon Kingdom, and since there was a war on the frontier, they demanded that he participate as well.
"How interesting," he mused, "they're making direct demands. It seems that many territories within the country have no intention of joining."
Although several territories did participate in a token manner, it was mostly to provide their heirs with a taste of glory. This annual conflict was hardly taken seriously by anyone. Those families without heirs in need of such experience did not send troops.
Of course, for the likes of Marquis Kolan, a major noble, it was necessary to make a significant gesture.
