Chapter 871: Lord Xuanwu Actively Reinforces Troops
"Everyone, Lord Xuanwu has just sent a request, wishing to contribute more to the Empire."
Balola held a letter in his hand and spoke to the others, causing a flurry of discussions among the crowd below.
"I wonder why Lord Xuanwu wants to do this," the Minister of Military Affairs said, furrowing his brows.
To them, the southern conflicts are merely minor skirmishes, the kind that have always existed and don’t warrant significant attention. If not for the fear of the Klein Empire launching a full-scale assault suddenly, they would have actively pulled back their defenses.
After all, the southern country always inexplicably acts out.
"I heard that Lord Xuanwu was assassinated on his way back from the Elf Forest, and the culprit is the Chirali Empire."
Everyone understood now, but some felt it was a pity that he had not been killed.
Zhao Guang has no heirs to inherit the territory. If he were to die, the flourishing territory would fall into their hands. Even if Xuanwu was split up, it would still form a large area of prosperous land.
The population there is already massive, and the defenses are strong. Even the Undead Mage would not dare to act rashly.
And the two most powerful ones dare not act casually against an empire.
In their view, that side is already very secure. The most crucial point is that Zhao Guang’s power and influence are too strong now, and letting him continue to grow puts a lot of pressure on them.
Especially the people on the Royal Family’s side, who are very wary of such a powerful lord.
