The night soon passed. A candle still quietly burned on Wang Chong's desk. It had been burning all night, and Wang Chong had spent just as long silently waiting here.
Upon hearing footsteps, Wang Chong raised his head and calmly asked, ”How was it?”
They were already in an extremely disadvantageous situation in this battle. If even his eyes and ears were shut down, he would truly be a headless fly that would lack the foundation to resist the First Prince.
Zhang Que walked over the threshold, appearing so exhausted that it seemed like he had just been through several major battles.
”The Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Teams have managed to temporarily fend off the enemy attacks. Both sides suffered heavy losses. In addition, the Eastern Palace is already gathering more men to reinforce the capital. This battle is far from over!”
The last night had also been a sleepless one for him.
”I understand!”
Wang Chong slightly relaxed.
”Thank you for your service. Go and rest.”
”Yes, Your Highness!”
Zhang Que quickly departed.
Whoosh!
A cool breeze blew in through the window, ruffling the hair at his temples. It was calm outside now that the gruesome melee from last night had passed, but no one understood more than Wang Chong that the undercurrent was getting fiercer and fiercer.
The Eastern Palace can no longer restrain itself!
Wang Chong's eyes gleamed as he slowly stood up from his desk.
The more formidable were the Eastern Palace's attempts to cut off his eyes and ears, the closer he was getting to that moment in time.
Tap tap!
Wang Chong slowly walked over to the large model, his eyes locking onto the road linking the frontier to the capital.
”Zhang Zheng, the First Prince is waiting for you, right? The day the Beiting Protectorate army enters the capital is the day the First Prince begins his work!”
Wang Chong muttered almost inaudibly, the sound waves quickly dispersing into the air.
……
Meanwhile, in the Eastern Palace…
”Your Highness, the King of Foreign Lands Residence launched a counterattack last night, and we suffered heavy losses. In one night, we lost more than thirteen hundred people, but the opposing side also suffered significant losses. Our current estimates place their deaths at more than two hundred.
”In addition, from what we have learned, the King of Foreign Lands has already called back his four elite operation teams, and many of their deaths last night were probably those elites. In comparison, those that we lost were not at a very high level, and we can easily train more.
”Besides that, your subordinate has already ordered for all spies to return to the capital. The pressure on them will only increase, and in a few more days, they will be completely wiped out!”
Kim U-Seok's voice, tinged with his Goguryeon accent, echoed through the hall.
”Not bad! I give you full authority! You must purge every one of the spies of the King of Foreign Lands Residence! Don't let a single one survive!” the First Prince sternly said.
In this war of spies with the King of Foreign Lands Residence, Kim U-Seok was relying purely on human wave tactics, madly attacking Wang Chong's spies with ten times their number.
Even though the Eastern Palace had suffered far more losses numerically, these were all ordinary spies that could be replaced with some time and money. The temptation of power would allow them to easily recruit more people. Thus, the Eastern Palace did not care much about these losses.
Kim U-Seok paused a moment before sternly adding, ”In addition, your subordinate has placed spies in the enemy's men. With just a little more, I will be able to find out their gathering points in the city and sweep them all up along with their leaders.”
”Good!”
The First Prince's eyes brightened upon hearing Kim U-Seok's words.
”Kim U-Seok, this prince knew that you wouldn't disappoint me! This prince will wait for the good news!”
”Yes!” Kim U-Seok hastily replied.
”Meng Tu, Asura!”
The Ghost King's voice suddenly reverberated through the hall.
”Kim U-Seok alone is not enough to deal with the King of Foreign Lands. Go and help him!”
”Yes!”
Asura and Meng Tu bowed. No one dared to defy Hou Junji's orders.
Whoosh!
