Soon, the Ministry of Works produced the eyeglasses His Majesty had requested and immediately distributed them to the cities near the Wu tribe.
Soon after, the battle report arrived.
Since the introduction of the glasses, there have been no further instances of generals being controlled by witchcraft.
The courtiers were overjoyed.
They exclaimed that His Majesty was wise.
Wei Wangqing was also very happy. She just wanted to try it out. If it worked, it could greatly reduce the mortality rate.
Although she couldn't see it with her own eyes, she could imagine the horrors of the battlefield.
She didn't want so many people to die either.
Every little bit helps; only those who live in times of war truly understand the value of peace.
But the good times didn't last long.
Their actions only slowed down the speed of the witch clan's attack.
The fact that they are only slowing down means that they are still losing.
That day.
Nan Xiangrong finally couldn't resist coming to find Wei Wangqing.
He had wanted to volunteer for the war for a long time, and seeing the Great Wei retreating one defeat after another, he felt very bad.
Although he initially chose this path because of her, it's impossible for him to develop feelings for her over time.
For the soldiers, for the people, for the Great Wei.
And her too.
Since he had chosen this path, he wanted to do his part as well.
However, it took him a long time to persuade his mother.
He knew the bitterness in his mother's heart, but His Majesty was not the Southern Emperor.
He will not follow in his father's footsteps.
"Your Majesty, Nan Xiangrong is willing to lead troops to Fengyang to resist the Wu tribe."
Wei Wangqing sighed inwardly.
She was the one who persuaded him to join the army in the first place, but now things are like this...
"Does Prince An know what you're thinking?"
"My mother agreed."
"Very well, then I hereby appoint you as the General of the Expedition, giving you full authority over this campaign." Now she is the ruler, and he is the subject.
Unnecessary emotions are undesirable.
Now that the Great Wei is in this situation, reinforcements are necessary.
With Nan Xiangrong leading the way, there might be unexpected gains.
She had always admired this man, admiring his abilities and his ambitions.
He probably has no choice but to go to this battle.
How could she possibly stop it?
"Take those few members of the Witch Clan with you. You can decide how to use them."
Whether used as hostages, or...
Sacrifice the flag.
Wei Wangqing had no more sympathy left for others. This war was started by the Wu tribe, so he should bear the responsibility himself.
Besides, the Wu tribe showed no mercy to her Great Wei, so why should she hold back?
Nan Xiangrong looked at Her Majesty, and she knew that making this decision must have been difficult for her.
However, war has always been cruel.
"Yes, I will certainly make the most of the Wu tribe's strength." I will not make things difficult for her.
"Um."
"Your Majesty, how are you?" Nan Xiangrong asked hesitantly.
Perhaps he shouldn't have asked that question.
However, seeing the worry in her eyes lately, he couldn't help but speak up.
He wanted to share her burdens, even if only in a little way.
Mentioning Chen Zhiyan, Wei Wangqing's brows furrowed even more with worry. "Ayan, he's still the same, he hasn't woken up."
Seeing her like this, Nan Xiangrong just wanted to go forward and smooth out her brows.
The Empress remains unconscious; she must be very sad.
But he couldn't help her.
"Your Majesty, the Empress will surely wake up. Please do not worry too much and take care of yourself."
He paused, then added, "The Great Wei needs you."
I need it too.
Wei Wangqing forced a smile: "Yes, I understand."
Meanwhile, Wu Changming and Wuchen have also made great progress.
They discovered a secret room in the elder's room.
Now, the elders are either leading troops into battle or trapped between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, leaving the Wu tribe with almost no one to hold their ground.
With the help of the Holy Maiden, if we don't seize this opportunity, it will truly incur the wrath of both heaven and man.
Yes, they found the saintess.
It turned out that the saintess had known about their plan all along, and she wanted to stop it to prevent war from breaking out.
However, the elders conspired to lock him up in the ancestral hall.
Make her repent before the ancestors of the witch clan.
Although Wu Xun is proud to be a member of the Wu clan, it does not mean that she believes that the Wu clan can wantonly abuse others.
To be honest, she had always been skeptical of the witch clan's system.
The initial resistance stemmed from her relationship with the clan chief.
She refused.
Why should her future be decided from the moment she was chosen?
Could it be that the prosperity of the Wu tribe was solely due to the union of a man and a woman?
Stop joking.
Because she was unwilling to accept it, she had not even wanted to stay in the witch clan all these years and had been wandering around.
But this time, she couldn't escape.
On the eve of departure.
"Rong'er, you've grown up now, and there are many things your mother can't control anymore. But no matter what, you must remember that the most important thing on the battlefield is to save your life."
"Don't worry, Mother, I know." Nan Xiangrong knew that he had been willful this time, causing his mother to worry.
However, he was determined to go.
He can't help her with anything else, so let him share her burdens on the battlefield.
Nanfeng straightened her expression and said, "What I said just now was as a mother. But since you have chosen this path and become a general, you must know that as long as the city stands, you stand; if the city falls, you fall."
"Behind you are countless soldiers and civilians; you cannot retreat."
"What your father did, I believe you can do too."
Nan Xiangrong also composed herself. "Mother, I can definitely do it."
