"Alright, everyone go back now."

Wu Li said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, if you find that the enemy is difficult to deal with in Nangang, you must order us to come to your aid as soon as possible."

"Actually, it would be better if we went to Nan'gang ahead of time, but Your Majesty..."

Qin Ze patted him on the shoulder and said seriously:

"knew."

"Just wait for my news."

"If our army falls into a slump and is unable to contain the enemy, I will certainly send the barbarian army to reinforce us."

Knowing that further words wouldn't change Qin Ze's decision, Wu Li nodded helplessly, then clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:

"Your Majesty, you must be extremely careful on this journey!"

"Hmm." Qin Ze nodded slightly, said no more, and led his army away.

Only after they had walked quite a distance did Wu Li withdraw his gaze. Yan Cheng, who was traveling with him, then walked up to him and said:

"Clan leader, His Majesty is riding high after defeating the Jin family, but the enemy forces come from multiple countries. Perhaps His Majesty has underestimated them..."

Wu Li looked at Yan Cheng. Although his face was completely wrapped in white cloth, his tone revealed his worry.

"Let's train the troops first."

"Be prepared for battle at any time."

“Good!” Yan Cheng agreed, then said with a slightly excited tone, “His Majesty left us dozens of cannons, and plenty of cannonballs as well.”

"I want to try again."

Upon hearing this, Wu Li chuckled softly, then looked up at the azure sky and the sun.

"The world changes so fast..."

"Fortunately, we caught up."

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion, then pulled on the reins, leading his people on their journey home.
