"Your Majesty... I, I believe, before the Dragon Clan agrees to send troops to assist, we should consolidate our forces and focus on defending the area around the Imperial City."
The State Preceptor spoke again, "After all, our current morale has been affected, and our forces are not at an advantage, so we should consolidate to defend the Imperial City. As long as the Imperial City stands, the Tianyuan Dynasty will endure forever!"
The State Preceptor was promoted by Emperor Xuan himself, and his words always pleased Emperor Xuan.
He nodded his head, "I share the same thought. Qin Tian's target for deploying troops is nothing but the Imperial City. If he cannot capture the Imperial City, capturing other cities would be a wasted effort. Send a decree ordering all cities to defend to the death; anyone who dares to retreat will be punished by military law!"
