"Young Prince, His Majesty has no choice but to do this." Li Xingwen said as he slowly walked towards where Jin Junli was.

When he reached his side, he gently raised his hand and placed it on Jin Junli's shoulder. He continued in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, please tell me. This resistance army was founded by the prince himself. It is truly not easy for it to grow to this size. If the prince were to die for his country, then I'm afraid the future of the overall situation would still depend on you!"

Hearing this, Jin Junli couldn't help but snort coldly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile.

He thought to himself, these people are really good at talking, their words sound so eloquent.

Should I be grateful for this so-called "gift"?

Thinking of this, Jin Junli could no longer suppress his inner anger and responded coldly: "Hmph, according to what you said, I should be grateful for this great imperial grace?" His eyes pierced straight at Li Xingwen like a cold sword, as if he wanted to see through the other party.

In Jin Junli's view, the so-called royal family is nothing but a group of cold-blooded and ruthless people.

Back then, when the resistance army was first established, the royal family's direct descendants had been imprisoned and controlled by the Sakura Country for many years, and had never received even a trace of resource support or substantial assistance from the royal family.

Not only that, on many key issues, the royal family has repeatedly intervened, trying to influence the old man's thoughts and attitudes.

How can people be convinced by such a royal family?

At this moment, the situation has evolved to this point. They actually try to use the supreme glory of the royal family to erode and restrain their own thinking. This is undoubtedly a foolish dream!

"Mr. Li, over the years, my father and I have never directly refused any request made by His Majesty. However, regarding today's matter, I will not comply with his will no matter what!"

Before long, Jin Junli did his best to calm his turbulent emotions. He then resolutely faced the emperor's "mouthpiece" and spoke his heart out without reservation: "Marshal Zhang has not only been incredibly kind to me, but he's also been a great benefactor to the entire resistance army! But since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve simultaneously. Faced with such a difficult decision, I truly have no other options!"

"Young Prince, you must not act on impulse or rashly!" Seeing his resolute and tough attitude, Li Xingwen hurriedly spoke to dissuade him.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Jin Junli turned around and ran towards the door without looking back.

With a sharp creaking sound, the slightly old wooden door slowly opened.

Outside the door, the generals who had been waiting for a long time all cast their gazes over at the same time, like blazing flames, eager to get an answer from the person behind the door.

Jin Junli, standing at the door, felt the strong pressure from everyone.

Their eyes were full of hope and expectation, as if they placed all their hopes on themselves.

This heavy responsibility made Jin Junli feel a little breathless, but he knew that he must not retreat at this moment.

Jin Junli took a deep breath, as if he wanted to gather all the courage in his body.

Then, he spoke in a calm voice, "Everyone, after careful consideration, I have made up my mind. The situation is urgent now, and we must act decisively—immediately besiege Marshal Zhang's residence and rescue the Commander-in-Chief at all costs!"

As soon as the words fell, the scene, which was originally so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, suddenly exploded.

However, these generals were not panicked by this surprising decision. Instead, they were eager to try. Suddenly, a unified and loud answer came: "Yes!"

Those who had been anxiously waiting for orders were instantly energized as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

They all straightened their backs, held their heads high and chests puffed out, showing an indomitable momentum.

Everyone's face was filled with determination and courage, as if they were ready to face any difficulties and obstacles.

"Wait!!" At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared like a ghost, completely beyond the expectations of everyone present.

The tightly closed door of the headquarters slowly opened, and Military Advisor Park led a large group of fully armed soldiers into the scene like a tide, quickly surrounding the entire area.

Military Advisor Park stood in front of the team with his head held high and his chest puffed out. His stern face was expressionless, but his eyes flashed with a chilling light.

Behind him, there was a large number of military generals following closely. It is worth mentioning that many of them were trusted generals promoted by Military Advisor Park himself.

At this moment, the unexpected arrival of Military Advisor Park made Jin Junli, who was originally confident, tremble in his heart.

An unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his heart like a tide, instantly drowning all his confidence and calmness.

He stared at Military Advisor Park with wide eyes, trying to catch the slightest flaw or intention from the other's face.

However, Advisor Park's expressionless face was like an indestructible wall, making it impossible to glimpse into his true thoughts deep in his heart.

"Mr. Park, I haven't seen you in ages. How did you suddenly find time to come here today?" Although he already knew that his presence wasn't a gesture of goodwill, Jin Junli remained composed and feigned confusion. He quickly glanced around at the heavily armed soldiers standing ready for battle. Then, with a slight frown, he asked sternly, "What's the purpose of these people? Why mobilize so many troops?"

Military Advisor Park was seen walking slowly towards the crowd with his hands behind his back.

His already stern face was now even colder. A pair of hawk-like eyes flickered with a hint of hostility. He stared directly at Jin Junli's face, which had turned ashen with anger, and revealed a chilling sneer: "Haha, young prince, you have lost a lot of weight recently. I think it's because the military affairs are too heavy and you are under too much pressure."

"That's fine, though. From today on, all matters at the headquarters will be handled by me. Generals, you can take this opportunity to rest and recuperate."
