What's going on? Huo Guangxiong was instantly stunned. He hadn't accepted any pledges of allegiance. No, that's not right—he suddenly realized that because of the massive recruitment over the past period, he had opened up permissions. So now, it wasn't just him who had the authority to add people; several vice presidents could receive requests too. It seemed that they must have accepted Xiao Buli's surrender when he applied. He wanted to change the permissions but was not in his own capital city at the moment. According to the system settings, only within the capital can a president modify permissions, akin to how ancient emperors could only issue orders within the capital city.
The people behind Xiao Buli instantly bristled. If at the beginning they had thought Xiao Buli was merely bluffing, the facts were now clear: the Qingyang Empire was indeed planning to defect. Why should they continue fighting? One by one, they hurriedly contacted their respective presidents.
