Wen Kang clenched his hands so tightly that his fingers turned white after hearing the messenger's report.
In an instant, the Hall of Righteousness was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere, so quiet that one could hear the sound of sweat dripping onto the cold floor.
After a long silence, Wen Kang finally said, "Leave."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the messenger responded before leaving the Hall of Righteousness.
Looking at the ministers and generals standing below the throne, Wen Kang said calmly, "The Feng Army cannot be allowed to remain any longer."
At his words, the already heavy atmosphere grew even heavier.
After another long silence, the Great General stepped forward and knelt before Wen Kang. Clasping his fists, he said, "Your Majesty, this subject is willing to share Your Majesty's burden."
Hearing this, Wen Kang looked at him silently for a moment before saying, "Very well. The Great General will lead two hundred thousand troops to Xiqiang City and end the rebellion."
