The Main Hall

Zhong Heng was strongly against the Dragon King's decision. "It's not worth the risk, Dragon King. Even if Golden Roc Castle dismissed all of their killers, it'll always be a lion's den as long as the Unique King still lives there. The best way to deal with it is to destroy it with hundreds of thousands troops and then burn it all to the ground. There is no need to sound it out. Please think twice, Dragon King."

Gu Shenwei stuck with his decision, and he had made adequate preparations. Zhong Heng was in command of the army of the Shule Kingdom in the west. Dugu Xian was the Commander-in-chief of the 20,000-men Central Plains army. And finally, Wu Zongheng stayed in the encampment of the Dragon Army. All troops were prepared for war.

The Golden Roc troops, who were stationed not far away, had gotten scared. They had closed the gates of their encampment and even withdrawn their scouts.
