"Let us hope... this is not just wishful thinking on my part!"
Josephine remained composed.
Lucio and Philip wore grave expressions.
"If either of you has something to say, please feel free," Josephine keenly noticed their demeanor.
Lucio bowed respectfully. "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of fully consolidating the God Mountain domain, I suggest we delay it for now. We only need to maintain basic control and order, without tying up too many elite legions here for the long term."
"The Peace Committee is the order maintainer of the Celestial Light God Realm. Since they have already expressed their intention to intervene, they will certainly take action against the Empire."
"I believe we should gather all our strength to deal with the threat the Committee will bring. Once we successfully fend off their attack, we can then focus on consolidating the territory."
Prologue Sage also agreed, saying, "I concur with Lucio's view."
