Baling, Royal Palace.
Upon receiving the first message that Ning, Su, Song, and other countries were sending troops, Lu Yuan immediately convened Sun Siwen, Lan Cai'er, and other Inborn Grandmasters to discuss major military and political affairs.
Summoned by the order, these individuals quickly arrived in the palace hall.
Sun Siwen, Lan Cai'er, the Spiritual Woman, and Han Hu—the four remaining Inborn Grandmasters in Baling City—were now all gathered together.
"Today, I send out troops to subjugate Southsea. Ning, Su, Song, and other countries have all risen up to provide support, leading their armies to join me in attack. The four kingdoms of Jiangdong and Lingnan have now combined forces, nearly a million strong, with countless good advisors and generals; this is indeed a moment of crisis for Great Chu."
