Facing Zhao Gongming's questioning, Ye Feng was too lazy to bother with a response. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Shi Yehong felt compelled to speak up, "Indeed, the Northern King's words were a bit much just now, but what he said is also true. He proposed establishing the Martial Academy three years ago, but it was rejected by both the Utility Pavilion and the General's Mansion."
"At that time, the Northern King had no choice but to create the Martial Alliance on his own. Seeing it starting to show some results, Xuanyuan Nation realized the importance of establishing the Martial Academy and wanted to restructure the Martial Alliance for that purpose. Just think about it, the Martial Alliance is the Northern King's blood, sweat, and tears. If it were to be commandeered like this, would any of you feel at ease?"
