Super Game System-Otherworld King: Rise to Power

In the Royal Palace of Sun Moon City,Inside the garden, Li Haotian sat in a pavilion, a faint look of anticipation on his face.

After a moment, Wang Fuchen and his daughter, Mia, slowly approached. Seeing them, Li Haotian immediately stood and went to greet them.

"Princess, it's been so long. I've missed you terribly."

Mia bowed politely.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your concern. Recently, Mengyu's health has been poor. We appreciate your care."

Her face was slightly pale, and her voice was soft but lacked strength, clearly indicating she was unwell.

"Quick, please, Princess, sit down."Li Haotian's expression softened with concern as he helped Mia settle down in the pavilion.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Once she was seated, Li Haotian asked, "How is the royal doctor? If you need any herbs or medicine, just let me know."

Mia smiled faintly and shook her head.

"Mengyu only caught a slight cold. It's nothing serious."

Just then, Mia's expression grew serious.

"I've heard news that the Bison Tribe, alongside various smaller tribes of the plains, has gathered a force of nearly a million soldiers and is marching south. What are your plans to deal with this, Your Majesty?"

Li Haotian sighed deeply.

"The plains are far from the royal city. By the time we received word, they may have already begun their advance. The Western He Kingdom will be the first to bear the brunt. With their current strength, they won't stand a chance. In my view, the Empire's reinforcements should be on their way soon."

Mia furrowed her brows.

"The northwest of our kingdom borders the plains as well. It's hard to say whether we'll face an attack. Your Majesty, we must prepare defenses quickly."

"I've already ordered Murong Ying to station 100,000 troops at the border. I've also sent Zhao An from East Mountain City with another 50,000 soldiers to provide reinforcements. We should be fine for now."

Mia nodded approvingly.

"Your Majesty, your plans are thorough. With the great walls at the border and an additional 150,000 troops, the Bison Tribe will have to think twice before attacking."

At that moment, the ever-silent Prime Minister, Wang Fuchen, spoke up.

"But Your Majesty, even with our alliances, our forces alone will only be able to resist the enemy for so long. We're at a serious disadvantage, and our strength will be greatly depleted."

"I suggest sending an envoy to Yundu City, urging the Emperor to deploy a large army to confront the foreign tribes on the plains."

Mia nodded.

"What my father says is true. The Empire's reforms over the past century have made them incredibly powerful. Their resources are beyond our imagination. If the Empire sends troops, they'll surely crush the invaders."

Li Haotian smiled.

"Alright, I'll follow your advice. I'll send an envoy to Yundu City immediately to confirm the Empire's response!"

After a moment of thought, Mia added,

"Your Majesty, if the Empire wins, we can take advantage of the situation and march into the plains. But if the Empire loses, the Western He Kingdom will fall. The foreign tribes are known for their pillaging. Once they retreat, Your Majesty, you must send troops to pursue them and, by the way…"

"Take their cities while they're at it!"

Li Haotian laughed heartily.

"Princess, you're as clever as ever. Let's do just that!"

Mia gave a faint smile.

The three continued discussing the details of their plans when Mia suddenly remembered something.

"Your Majesty, has there been any news from the agents you sent to the Chaos Ridge?"

"That task has been entrusted to the Prime Minister."Li Haotian turned to Wang Fuchen and asked,"Has there been any word, Prime Minister?"

Wang Fuchen sighed and shook his head.

"I've sent dozens of elite scouts, and they've all returned without having found any trace of the rebels."

Li Haotian frowned.

"The rebels wear distinctive armor, they should be easy to spot. Could it be that they haven't gone to the Chaos Ridge?"

After a long silence, Mia shook her head.

"They've likely been hiding private soldiers and stockpiling weapons. They must have grand ambitions. If they want to make a name for themselves, the Chaos Ridge is the best place to strike."

"That man is cunning. I suspect they've broken up into smaller groups, resting during the winter. Once spring comes, they'll make their move."

Li Haotian nodded sharply.

"Alright! Prime Minister, continue to send people to scout the Chaos Ridge. We must root out those rebels!"
