Despite the loud cries from these countries, the reality was that Qi Country, which was busily preparing for war, was at the forefront.
Qi Country was not as corrupt as Zheng Country. While leveraging the power of Great Tang to industrialize, they also absorbed many technologies from Shireck.
Moreover, the country's leadership keenly sensed the imminent threat of war. They were trying every means to assemble their troops and build as many defense fortifications on the border as possible.
To withstand the pressure from the Great Tang Kingdom, King Jiang Xian of Qi Country sent his three most valued sons out, each leading troops to block the possible northward advancement of the Great Tang Kingdom's military.
Shireck went even further to assist Qi Country by sending a large military advisory group to help the three princes train new troops and set up defenses.
