"Yes, Your Majesty," the guard replied, and there was no further movement outside the door.

Von Palen calmed his mind and, a few minutes later, began writing down the key instructions he needed to give to his officers the next day on a blank sheet of paper.

As he wrote, he gradually began to recite aloud:

"...Compared to the riots caused by the rebels, the invasion by the Yan people is the true source of the national crisis. The destructive power of this war of aggression waged by the Yan people is unprecedented. I must admit that the situation is dire. Therefore, we must unite and gather all available resources. Everyone, you must step forward at this time and respond to the government's call. Whether you are a man or a woman, if you want to protect our homeland, we must..."

As he was writing this, Feng Palen raised an eyebrow, crossed out the entire paragraph after "[the situation is somewhat bad]", and muttered to himself:

"This isn't the kind of talk needed to mobilize the masses; it might not be effective..."

He muttered this sentence to himself, dipped his pen in ink, and started a new line, writing as he silently recited it:

"...In the fallen province of Suenham, our compatriots are being slaughtered by the Yan people. They are not only killing our soldiers on the battlefield, but they have also broken into the cities, targeting the defenseless elderly, women, and children..."

"War is always accompanied by death. Accepting death is the fate that every soldier must accept before going to the battlefield. But what wrong have the elderly, women, girls and children done? They should not be slaughtered like spoils of war by those cruel executioners."

As soldiers, even those from Yan Kingdom, they should be ashamed of this. But these guys have no concept of shame; their behavior is no different from that of devils. And now, these devils see us Golts as objects that must be eliminated, as evidenced in every battle that has already ended.

These devils ruthlessly deprived us of our right to live. They set fire to our houses, raped women, and used children as targets for shooting practice. They did every kind of atrocity you can imagine...

Having written this far, Feng Palen stopped writing with satisfaction, picked up his pen again to dip it in ink, and murmured to himself:

“Hate is the best way to unite the people….”

No sooner had he finished speaking than there were two more knocks on the door.

Then, with a "smack," Feng Palen abruptly threw down his pen, sat up abruptly in his chair, and roared:

"What are you doing?!"
