"Boom!"

After nightfall.

A storm descended.

There were hardly any pedestrians on the streets.

In the palace of Wild Gold Country,

several figures hurriedly arrived.

"What's going on? Why are you so late?"

"We ran into Des."

"What?! It's still in the country?"

Many people in the room cried out in shock and anger.

"My father is dead, yet it still lives! The heavens are unjust!!!"

"I will kill it, I must kill it!"

In the midst of the outraged crowd, the white-haired old man at the head of the table spoke in a deep voice, "What lies before us now is not Des, but the massive entities of Summer Country and the Empire! The crisis of life and death is upon us—do none of you truly fear the annihilation of our nation?"

The entire meeting room fell silent in an instant.

It was a full thirteen seconds of silence before someone finally spoke up, "General, has the situation really become this dire?"
