"Yes, Lord Emberweave. If possible, I would like to speak with him. It would be a shame for the Sultanate of Aqaba to lose his brilliance," the Sultan replied with a sense of nostalgia.
"You mean, you don't want to lose a man who could push our forces, despite their advanced technology and weaponry, to the point where they have no choice but to request support—while he's using outdated weapons and sheer willpower to resist. Right, Your Majesty?" Gua Jia said with a knowing smile.
