Chapter 297 - 294: Begin
In the meeting room of Fortress One.
Gu Jinlai, Gu Luochen, and several others were present.
In front of him, there were several Thousand-mile Light and Shadow Mirrors.
The images of Xin Tianqi, Gu Chaoyang, Cheng Wanli, Jing Yunshan, and others appeared in the mirrors.
This scene faintly reminded Gu Jinlai of video conferences held on Blue Star.
"The time has come, and since Lizhou State has still not given a response, we must take action regardless. Especially since we have notified the Purgatory Sect, Netherworld Sect, and Cold Moon Sect of our operation this time," said Xin Tianqi from within the mirror. "If we remain indifferent this time, it will be a huge blow to the prestige of Lingxiao City, and it will greatly affect the peaceful unification plan that you, State Governor, intend to implement. Therefore, the arrow is on the bowstring and we must shoot."
Cheng Lixue and Jing Yunshan, both Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, nodded and said, "If Governor Gu finds it inconvenient to take action, the two of us are willing to go to Lizhou State in place of the State Governor."
"Just within Lizhou State itself, there are six True Monarchs. Although these six True Monarchs are in constant conflict, their long-time marital alliances have created a basis for unification. When facing an external invasion, they will quickly band together, so the two of you alone will not be enough. Count me in as well," Gu Jinlai continued.
"During this time, I have gathered quite a number of sea vessels, some of which are warships suitable for naval combat. Although small in scale, they can transport two to three thousand people without issue. If the State Governor is willing to order two to three thousand Demon God Guards to act with me, we can surely teach Lizhou State a harsh lesson," Xin Tianqi spoke.
Gu Xiliu, commanding a host of guards in Jiangzhou State, immediately volunteered, "Our two units of guards are fully prepared and ready to fight to the death for the Patriarch."
