“Are you sure?” The emperor was still doubtful.
Long Yue nodded.
“If not, I’m afraid it would not be a messenger from Sun Never Sets that came to our Longxuan Empire, but Lord Shen herself.”
!!The emperor’s face turned pale. He hastily said, “Long Yue, I’ll leave this matter to you to deal with. See what you have to prepare before she can… Forget it. Come with me.” The emperor was obviously frightened by Shen Yanxiao.
Long Yue could only agree.
After withdrawing from the court, Long Yue walked out of the hall. Not far away, State Teacher Pei Yuan came slowly.
“What is Your Highness worried about?” Pei Yuan looked at Long Yue. Long Yue had grown into a qualified crown prince. In any aspect, Long Yue was more suitable to sit on the throne than the current emperor.
“State teacher, do you think the Longxuan Empire will be destroyed in this war?” Long Yue looked up at the gray sky. Unlike his father’s worries, Long Yue was not worried at all that Shen Yanxiao would make things difficult for them. What he was worried about was whether the Longxuan Empire could be preserved in the future war against the Devil race.
“A few days ago, I went to see the military camp. Father, he… did not pay much attention to the training of troops. The spies lurking in the other three countries also sent back the training situation of the other three countries. In contrast, I feel that… the fighting strength of our Longxuan Empire is really very poor.” Long Yue smiled bitterly. Looking at the huge empire, who knew about this hidden crisis?
The Emperor of the Longxuan Empire spent his days in suspicion. Old age made him more eager to hold all the power in his hands. While he gathered the military power, he did not have the time to arrange the training of the soldiers, which delayed the progress of the entire army.
Compared with the Longxuan Empire, the army of the Blue Moon Dynasty had improved at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed. Although the Seventh Kingdom had experienced a series of turbulences, the newly ascended monarch was a decisive person. He did things rather neatly and efficiently, and he was also very good at training troops. There was no need to mention the G.o.d Wind Alliance that had always been famous for its strength.
The Longxuan Empire’s position among the four countries was already in jeopardy. If there was friction between the four countries at that moment, the Longxuan Empire would definitely be vulnerable.
Long Yue did not dare to speak these words to others at all. Whether it was his father or other officials, they would be fl.u.s.tered by this matter.
Pei Yuan was the only one who could speak to him.
Perhaps it was because of their shared experience of being detained in Sun Never Sets together, even though Pei Yuan and Long Yue did not have frequent contact, they had a tacit understanding.
“Most things in the world are divided after a long time. Fate is not something we can grasp. Instead of worrying about this, Your Highness, why don’t you think about how the soldiers of our Longxuan Empire can kill a few more devil soldiers on the battlefield in the future to protect the Brilliance Continent and human beings. Only in this way can our Longxuan Empire be preserved.” Pei Yuan looked at Long Yue with fixed eyes. At Long Yue’s age, he was already very outstanding. He had keener eyes than his father and an excellent overall view. If there was a chance, he would become a good emperor.
However, he did not know if the heavens would give Long Yue this opportunity.
“Thank you, state teacher, for coming. Long Yue thanks you.” Long Yue bowed slightly to Pei Yuan, and the confusion in his eyes faded.
“I shall not disturb Your Highness any longer. It is time for Your Highness to prepare for your trip to Sun Never Sets. Even if Lord Shen does not pursue the matter, there are still some things we have to do,” Pei Yuan said with a smile..
