The county magistrate read out the "imperial edict" in a refined manner,
but in all honesty, nobody understood the first half; they only comprehended the main part at the end.
His Majesty,
is going to declare war on the Chu Slaves!
Inside the county office, everyone immediately erupted into cheers.
Guo Dong watched the celebrating crowd, watched his exceedingly excited father, and felt a bit lost. The last time he saw everyone so happy was three years ago when the city defenders spotted their own Black Armor cavalry in the distance.
He didn't understand why everyone was so thrilled. Was war really something to be happy about?
Guo Dong didn't like war because every day, seeing his injured Second Prince, he would fear the weapons kept at home, viewing them no differently than he did the tombs in the wild graveyard outside the city walls.
Recently, news from the capital had been passed over.
