She slowly raised her head, her once bright and lively eyes now bloodshot, revealing endless pain and self-blame.
Her gaze fell directly on the light screen above Qin Qianluo's head, which displayed the scene of the disaster in Haiyan County, resembling a tragic picture of a living hell.
It made her unable to look directly at it, yet she couldn't look away.
Seeing those tragic scenes, she felt as if a sharp dagger had pierced her heart.
The pain made her tremble slightly, and her breathing became rapid and heavy, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her throat.
Guilt, anger, and self-blame surged over her like a tidal wave, plunging her into an abyss of despair.
Her heart was torn apart by these complex emotions, plunging her into deep struggle and self-blame.
I felt as if I were the culprit of this disaster, and I wished I could immediately take on all the responsibility and save the suffering people.
She slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her chaotic emotions.
Her chest heaved violently, each breath accompanied by a heavy sigh, as if she were exhaling all the pain and helplessness in her heart.
When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was filled with determination and resolve, as if it could pierce through all darkness and fog and reach the core of her goal.
"What a blatant arrogance from Japan! I truly underestimated their wolfish ambitions."
It seems I can no longer proceed according to the established procedures; I must accelerate the pace and advance the war effort.
Only by enabling Tianxuan to complete the unification as soon as possible can we concentrate all our forces and send troops to Japan at an early date.
"To avenge this locust plague, to give the affected people a just explanation, and to comfort the souls who suffered in this disaster!" Su Jinyun thought to herself.
On the other side, Minister of Works Shi Xingbai was also furious, his anger burning fiercely as if he wanted to burn the whole world to ashes.
He stood in a corner of the court, his hands clenched tightly into fists inside his sleeves.
Due to excessive force, the veins on the back of his hands bulged out, like angry little snakes writhing under his skin, and his knuckles turned white from the force, as if they were about to burst at any moment.
His teeth were grinding together, and the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely whenever he thought of the atrocities committed by Japan, as if it would devour him whole.
"These despicable Japanese are utterly insane!" Shi Xingbai cursed under his breath.
His voice was filled with deep-seated hatred, his tone suggesting he wanted to tear Japan to pieces.
"That's the grain and people of an entire prefecture. They have worked hard on this land for generations, living in peace and contentment."
However, due to a conspiracy by the Japanese, their family was destroyed and they were forced to become homeless.
Those Japanese dwarves deserve to die! We, Tianxuan, will avenge this blood debt and make them pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold price!
His mind was racing like a high-speed machine, rapidly calculating the next steps, his eyes flashing with a firm and sharp light.
The most urgent task is to build the ships that King Jinrui Zhao sent.
That is the key to cross-sea operations. Only by preparing enough warships can Tianxuan's army successfully cross the vast ocean and strike at the heart of Japan.
Time was of the essence, and he had to make the most of every second without the slightest slackening.
Every moment of delay increases the suffering of the disaster-stricken people and fuels the arrogance of the Japanese.
He couldn't swallow this insult without giving those Japanese scoundrels a good lesson.
No matter how hard Feng Qingyun tried, she still gained nothing.
At this moment, she was like a warrior who had exhausted all her strength, slumped wearily onto a stone chair in the space.
Her hands hung limply at her sides, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she was enveloped in a deep sense of defeat.
Her chubby little face was filled with confusion and disappointment. Her once proud and upright tuft of hair now drooped listlessly.
She seemed to be saddened by the defeat as well. Her eyes were lowered, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow.
Her voice was filled with deep disappointment as she murmured, "Luo Bao, I can't find out who's behind this."
I could only trace back to the Japanese envoys who released the locusts and then left Tianxuan. After that, the clues disappeared without a trace, like a kite with a broken string.
No matter how hard I tried, I could no longer hold on to it. I'm sorry, Luo Bao, I couldn't help.
As she spoke, her eyes reddened slightly, and a few glistening tears welled up in them, threatening to roll down at any moment and shatter on the cold ground.
