The three discussed strategies, allocated troops, and strengthened defenses, proceeding cautiously at every step, fearing any mishap.

Prince Wuling would often stand up, walk to the map, and trace his finger across it, as if imagining the situation on the battlefield.

The Ghost Doctor would offer insightful opinions at opportune moments, greatly benefiting both Prince Wuling and Qi Guze.

At this time, although there were no longer any legitimate members of the royal family in the Mingyue Kingdom, the Moon Guard did not want to give up their rule over the Mingyue Kingdom.

General Song, a once loyal general, gathered all the Moon Guards in the palace one night. At that moment, he stood at the highest point of the palace, looking down at the Moon Guards below.

His eyes were filled with ambition and resentment, as if the world had always belonged to him. His voice echoed in the night sky: "This world is not necessarily only for the royal bloodline to conquer."

The Moon Guards exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what the general was thinking.

General Song continued, "Rather than letting the rebels become kings, it would be better for us loyal ministers who have protected the Mingyue Kingdom for many years to unify the world."

His voice was full of power and determination, as if he could already see the day he would stand on the throne.

The Moon Guardians began whispering among themselves, discussing the matter.

Some people support General Song's idea, believing that he is thinking about the future of the Mingyue Kingdom; others oppose it, believing that doing so violates the traditions of the royal family.

But in any case, General Song's words had left a deep impression on their hearts.

At the same time, Prince Wuling and others also learned of General Song's ambitions.

The Prince of Wuling sneered, "General Song wants to unify the world? How ambitious!"

The Ghost Doctor said calmly, "Ambition is not scary; what's scary is not having the ability."

Qi Guze added, "We must be careful and not let him succeed."

As the last rays of sunlight disappeared from the horizon, night gradually enveloped the earth.

A few days later, Qi Guze stood on the city wall, his gaze sharp as he looked towards the direction of the Dark Moon Kingdom. He knew that the days to come would be even more difficult, but they had made thorough preparations.

"Ghost Doctor, how is the defense work progressing?" Qi Guze turned to ask the Ghost Doctor beside him.

The Ghost Doctor smiled slightly and replied, "Don't worry, I have strengthened the city walls' defenses and developed a potion that can withstand the special weapons of the Underworld Moon Kingdom. Our soldiers will be much safer."

Qi Guze nodded, indicating his satisfaction. He knew the Ghost Doctor's abilities; this mysterious healer always displayed astonishing wisdom at crucial moments.

The Prince of Wuling also came over and said in a deep voice, "Regent, how is our allied army training? We must have a strong force to fight against the Mingyue Kingdom."

Qi Guze turned around, his gaze firm, and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Our allied forces are almost fully trained. They are the elites of the three kingdoms of Great Zhou, Wuling, and Dongsang. I believe they can withstand the attack of Mingyue Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, a hint of relief flashed in the eyes of the Prince of Wuling. He knew that Qi Guze was a trustworthy person, with outstanding leadership skills and strategic vision.

At the same time, General Song was also actively expanding his influence within the Mingyue Kingdom.

This battle-hardened general, clad in jet-black armor, was like the embodiment of night. His long sword, sharp and menacing, strode into a military camp with an imposing aura. Every step he took seemed to tremble the earth.

In the military camp, the soldiers stood in neat rows, all their eyes fixed on this uninvited guest.

General Song stood in the center of the camp, his eyes as sharp as a cheetah's, scanning everyone present.

"Listen up, I am General Song. I'm giving you a chance to join our ranks." His voice, like thunder, echoed throughout the military camp.

His voice was full of confidence and domineering presence, as if no one could stop him.

However, not all soldiers were intimidated by General Song's imposing manner. Some soldiers' eyes flickered with hesitation and doubt; they thought General Song's methods were too cruel and were unwilling to work with him.

“General Song, we do not wish to be your enemy, but your methods are too ruthless, and we cannot accept them,” a soldier said loudly, mustering his courage.

General Song sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "The law of the jungle prevails; that's the rule of this world. If you refuse to submit, you'll only face death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Moon Guards behind General Song charged towards the soldiers who refused to surrender like tigers descending a mountain.

Screams and the clanging of weapons suddenly filled the military camp.

Seeing this, the hesitant soldiers felt a pang of anxiety. They knew that if they didn't make a choice, the same fate awaited them.

As a result, some people began to waver and started to consider whether they should join General Song's camp.

Just then, General Song spoke again, his voice echoing through the military camp like a demonic chant. "I know you are hesitant, but I tell you, follow me, and you will have endless glory and power. I am the future of the Dark Moon Kingdom, and only I can lead you to glory."

General Song's words were like an invisible sword, piercing the hearts of those soldiers.

They began to be swayed by General Song's words and attracted by his ambition and power.

Ultimately, under General Song's threats of force and enticements, many soldiers chose to join him. They put aside their hesitations and concerns and became General Song's loyal followers.

Deep within the military camp, a young soldier watched General Song's retreating figure, his heart filled with unease.

He knew that if he didn't join General Song's camp, he would likely face brutal treatment. But he also didn't want to betray his beliefs and principles.

"What should I choose?" the young soldier muttered to himself.

General Song looked at the soldiers who had joined him, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction and pride. He knew that his power was constantly expanding, and the future of the Dark Moon Kingdom would belong to him.

However, he did not stop his expansion. He knew that only by continuously strengthening his power could he gain a foothold in the Dark Moon Kingdom.

So he continued to lead his army, wandering throughout the kingdom of Mingyue, constantly expanding his territory and influence.

In this process, General Song's image was continuously elevated in the hearts of the soldiers. They admired his courage and wisdom, and also feared his power and methods.

They were willing to follow him, serve him, and give everything for him.

However, behind all of this lies General Song's deep ambition and desire. He wants to control everything in the Mingyue Kingdom and become the true ruler of this country.

His heart was filled with a desire for power and glory, which drove him to keep moving forward and expanding his influence.
