To Violate the Army’s Disciplinary Laws

The day after the army had set off… or to be more precise… on the midnight of the day the army had set off—the real client of the Blood Sword Hall, the Emperor of the Heavenly Scent Empire—finally received the news he had been waiting for. The Zhao Family's men who had had crossed into the Capital's region had been wiped out along with the troops they had hired from the Southern Trade Union. The Second Prince's Divine Storm Guard had suffered the same fate.

The Emperor didn't find this news-report shocking; in fact, it was expected. Otherwise, wouldn't things have failed to live up to his arrangements? However, the news-report wasn't limited to this information. This was because the annihilation hadn't been limited to the aforementioned deaths. The members of the Blood Sword Hall who had taken part in the operation had also died a violent death.
