One day later, in the capital…
The news that the Thick Soil Sector had fallen again had been spread to the capital. The devastating outcome that the garrison of the Thick Soil Sector was entirely wiped out enshrouded the capital with blood and gloom. It was like a bad joke when the new emperor was faced with attacks from the rebels of the four families and the Covenant Alliance after he just ascended to the throne and made bold declarations.
Before the party was over, an emergence and confidential meeting began. The participants of the meeting included the new emperor, as well as Li Yao, Lei Chenghu, Li Linghai, Boss Bai, Jin Yuyan, Long Yangjun, the Fist King, and some other people.
Those were not necessarily the most powerful people in the Imperium. Many big shots in the expedition army had high titles and forces comparable to theirs.
However, they were the only people that the new emperor could really trust and rely on.
