There was no hesitation or guilt in his expression. It was as if something that had been suppressed for too long was finally released.
"After I leave…" he murmured to himself, his voice low, almost thoughtful despite the surrounding chaos, "maybe I should bring the King's Palace back to Longyan."
His gaze remained fixed on the battlefield below.
"Since I've decided to develop here… there's no need to keep them abroad anymore."
Before, he was foolish. He believed he could build another power here from scratch with his own strength.
But the recent setbacks had changed his thinking.
There was no point in holding back anymore.
Another burst of gunfire echoed.
His grip on the rifle tightened slightly.
"I need to plan this thoroughly."
Below him, the last resistance was being crushed.
