It was as if a thousand-catty boulder pressed down on everyone's heart.
They felt they might open their eyes tomorrow,
and see the entire Dynasty plunged into an irreversible chaos of war.
The mere thought of it was truly horrifying!
It made their scalps tingle!
After all, if the Great Zhou Dynasty fell into the warfare they anticipated, they, as part of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, would surely not be able to escape. Waging war was not as simple as capturing evil spirits or heretics.
When the Imperial Astronomical Bureau captured evil spirits or heretics, even if they lost manpower, at most they would lose one or two people per operation.
Or maybe five or six people.
If any operation resulted in more than ten casualties, it was considered a heavy loss.
But war...
Deaths would come in droves, by the hundreds or thousands, and it probably wouldn't stop there!
