"Glory and… recognition?" Xin Wuming asked.
"Huang San denied me the position of the Prime Minister. That is fine. I should have seen it coming," Amon said. "Perhaps I put too much faith in his sense of gratitude. Anyway, it is pointless to dwell on the past. I still possess a different way to scale for power. That is by utilizing this war."
"How can we use it?" Xin Wuming asked.
"By winning as many battles as possible," Amon answered. "Each victory will grant me glory and recognition. With enough of those, people will start spreading my legend. This will not only make it difficult for anyone to ignore me, but many officials will also come forward to cooperate on their own. Not to mention, fiery young cultivators will flock to join my army. Given time, I can build the biggest army in existence. By then, the king will have no choice but to appoint me his second in command."
