Regarding the thoughts of these people, Wang Bo’an saw through them clearly, but he harbored no ill will because of this.

As an excellent commander, he understood the burning desire for victory among his soldiers and officers, which often stemmed from their own inner desires and yearnings. As long as it didn’t affect his military plans, it was not only not a bad thing, but actually a good thing.

Hadn’t one heard that, during the Pre-Qin period, because rewards and punishments were clear, the old Qin people were joyful at the prospect of battle, and eventually one nation conquered six nations, thereby uniting the world under Heaven and Earth?

Moreover, these officers and soldiers fought to the death, faced life and death; after the successful campaign against the Demon Race, was it excessive for them to seek a Divine Position, to pursue Longevity?

Not excessive at all, not in the least.

Waging war against the Demon Race was a predetermined choice, one that no one could defy; additionally, anyone who dare attempt to change this decision, affecting this resolve, was a traitor of the human race, deserving of death by all.

However, since he was the commander, Wang Bo’an held control over the Border Army; he also had his own prerogatives when assessing situations and was qualified to decide when to send out the troops.

Gently raising his hand, gesturing for everyone to calm down, Wang Bo’an turned his gaze towards another of his trusted generals, Qi Yuanjing, who had been silent and pensive from the start.

“Yuanjing, all the generals are requesting to go to battle, what are your thoughts on this?” After Wang Bo’an spoke, everyone present couldn’t help but turn their gaze toward Qi Yuanjing.

As a commander equal in rank to Yu Xunyao, Qi Yuanjing’s prestige in the army was by no means weaker. Although not as valiant as Yu Xunya, he was more adept at training troops and commanding.

Compared to Yu Xunya, who tended towards the bravery-in-war type, the opinions of Qi Yuanjing, often walking the path of military tactics, might be more important at many times.

Upon hearing Grand Commander Wang Bo’an’s inquiry, the previously contemplative Qi Yuanjing immediately grew stern and solemnly stated, “Reporting to the Grand Commander, according to my assessment, we must dispatch troops and quickly too, to not give the Demon Race time to prepare.”

Qi Yuanjing was tall but not as brawny as Yu Xunya, instead possessing a somewhat scholarly demeanor, representing the refined and cultured type of military scholars.

Yet even as a scholar-general, when a real decision erupted from him, the imposing aura of slaughter was formidable.

Normally advocate of careful planning before action, Qi Yuanjing’s proactive request for a swift and decisive battle was indeed surprising, and it caught everyone present off guard; however, Wang Bo’an seemed to have anticipated this.

“Oh? What do you mean by this?” Wang Bo’an’s eyes flashed with satisfaction, and a slight smile appeared on his face as he asked.

He waited for Qi Yuanjing to explain his reasoning, to clarify the matter for the rest of the people there.

Even Gu Ji was quite curious, looking at Qi Yuanjing, wondering about his perspective.

In fact, having interacted with these people for so long, Wang Bo’an was very familiar with both Qi Yuanjing and Yu Xunya, and so he was increasingly curious.

“Our Great Ming Divine Dynasty has received the support of Shenxiao True Monarch, with the Shenxiao Edict acknowledged by many True Immortals, and is designated as a candidate for the Future Heavenly Court after the Conferred God War. However, this does not mean that everything is set in stone. In fact, if one thinks carefully, other ancient countries are by no means inferior to us,” calmly began Qi Yuanjing.

The Great Ming Divine Dynasty was indeed considered a candidate for the Heavenly Court, but this position was only provisional and not final, as from other aspects, the powers of other ancient countries were not inferior and had the qualifications to replace them.

If the Divine Dynasty system is seen as an advantage, previously, many top powerhouses were unwilling to see a Divine Dynasty emerge, preventing the ancient repression of Heaven and Earth by the former Divine Dynasty, therefore they suppressed various ancient countries, denying them the opportunity to ascend to the Divine Dynasty.

What about now?

When many True Immortals appeared, the previous concerns had vanished. Even if an ancient country was elevated to a Divine Dynasty again, it would not cause any impact nor would it make the True Immortals have the slightest fear.

In this respect, the seeming advantage that the Great Ming Divine Dynasty once had no longer existed. Their only advantage was actually the distinct support of Shenxiao True Monarch, a True Immortal, something many ancient countries had not yet received.

But this was not enough, the most critical factor was to demonstrate the value of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, to make all the forces between Heaven and Earth realize one thing, that is.

The Great Ming Divine Dynasty indeed had the support of True Immortals, but it had sufficient strength, was capable of carrying this title, and could make it clear to all parties that they could bear the burden of the Conferred God War and the campaign of Slaying Demons and Prospering Humanity.

“We need victory, we need to use victory to dispel the doubts of all parties, to deter those ancient countries that harbor other thoughts in their hearts, to let them completely abandon the idea of competing with us,” said Qi Yuanjing in a deep voice, his words clearly reaching everyone’s ears.

Here, aside from these soldiers of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, there were also countless Independent Practitioners of the human race, disciples of Great Powers, students of the Taoist Academy, and juniors of immortal sects; they also often lingered here.

The frontier was the border area between the human race and the Demon Race. Although no major conflicts occurred, friction between the human race and the Demon Race was not uncommon.

Either humans were sneaking into the Demon Domain to search for Spiritual Materials and clashing with the Demon Race, or the Demon Race was raiding the border and seizing goods, constantly creating conflict in this area.

Many human Cultivators here were either honing their Taoist Skills and Slaughter abilities, gathering Spiritual Materials, or other such tasks, and there was certainly no lack of Cultivators.

In the Border Army’s Grand Commander’s office, Wang Boan sat at the head, with Gu Ji, who had arrived not long ago, on his left and Yu Xunya and Qi Yuanjing, Wang Boan’s two trusted generals, on his right.

Gu Ji, who had been continuously holding the position of Deputy Censor-in-chief on the left, was thrust into the role of Deputy Minister of the Ministry of War on the right by Wang Qiong against all objections, after the Great Morning Meeting discussing the Enthronement Council concluded and the Great Ming Divine Dynasty decided on the national policy of Slaying Demons. He was appointed as the representative of the Divine Dynasty to the Border Army, mainly responsible for coordinating the Border Army and the reserves dispatched by the Divine Dynasty.

The territory of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty was vast, and although they were officials of the Divine Dynasty’s subjects, the existence of factions such as local parties and clique parties from different regions, inevitably led to some factionalism between different regions.

Just as the Border Army had been stationed at the border for hundreds of years, constantly battling with the Demon Race, honing the fierce Qi of the Border Army, the combat strength of the Border Army was naturally unmatched by those internal troops stationed in the Divine Dynasty.

Thus, the proud and valiant Border Army looked down upon the internal troops stationed within the Divine Dynasty, and similarly, those internal troops also thought the same; they believed the Border Army was merely more practiced, and given enough opportunities, they would surely be stronger than the Border Army.

Therefore, when these armies were gathered together, friction was bound to happen, hence someone like Gu Ji was needed to mediate and preside over the situation. Besides this, having such a vast military force under Wang Boan’s control meant that, by procedure, a supervisory military officer needed to be appointed.

“Grand Commander, this expedition against the Demon Race, adheres to the Will of Heaven and Earth, flourishing the Path of Humans, aligning with the intention of the Three Talents of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, and complying with the will of Heaven. Our human race’s army will inevitably be invincible, unstoppable!” Gu Ji, unusually not wearing his official robes but instead clad in a Confucian robe, shaking a folding fan in his hand, spoke leisurely.

These scholars indeed are powerful, able to turn black into white.

The Three Talents of Heaven, Earth, and Humans do not necessarily refer to the human race but should denote the Path of Humans and all spirits between Heaven and Earth. However, once it came down to a scholar like Gu Ji, the Human among the Three Talents surely referred to the human race, a point beyond doubt.

The perspective determines the thoughts; since they were of the human race, everything had to start from the interests of the human race. Thus, when Gu Ji spoke these words, none among the audience expressed any opposition; instead, they readily agreed, thinking it indeed should be this way.
