"Our industry and economy are undergoing a great transformation. In this process, a large portion of the reform pressure accumulated previously can be relieved. We no longer have such an urgent need for war. And on the other hand, once the Cecil people are truly prepared to meet battle, the setback we suffer will be greater than previously anticipated—not only will internal pressure remain unrelieved, but even the industrial construction currently underway will be interrupted."

The emerging arcane industry was destined to thoroughly transform the rules by which society operated, and within the foreseeable range, the benefits produced by these changes might surpass those of the previous several centuries.
Under such circumstances, did Typhon truly still need a war?
Luo Yan rose and left the desk, slowly pacing beside it.

"Yes, Your Majesty."
After making the decision, Luo Yan seemed somewhat more relaxed overall. He slowly let out a breath and turned his gaze to Pei Yi: "I hope our decision today is the correct one, Pei Yi-qing."
