Orc Army Camp, Duke Daniel looked back fondly at the continuously dismantling camp and sighed deeply.

At this moment, the Empire’s choice to temporarily avoid the enemy’s thrust was unclear to him as right or wrong.

Yet, a voice inside him continuously reminded him that this retreat would make it difficult to return to familiar ground in the future.

During the war, many issues had been suppressed.

Now that the war had ended, it was nearing the time for an explosion.

The Bimon Royal Court was hit first, already suffering from a sparse population, and during the war, an entire tribe was wiped out by the Expedition Army Corps.

Losses of twenty to thirty thousand clan members might not be significant for other clans, but for the Bimon Tribe, it was a devastating blow.

Their population had already been severely reduced, and now with this wave, the remaining clan members numbered only a third of what they were five years ago.

With so few clan members, no matter how strong their combat capabilities, they could not suppress the ambitious ones below.

Moreover, the current Bimon Army Corps was not the Bimon Army Corps of the past.

In order to maintain troop numbers, they were forced to conscript all citizens, resulting in a significant decline in combat power.

If it had been the Bimon Army Corps at its peak, although it couldn’t compare to the Magical Beast Legion concocted by the Kingdom of Alpha, it would have been able to exchange blows equally with the ordinary soldiers in the Expeditionary Army, with resources to spare.

Now the situation had reversed, with equivalent forces, the weakened Bimon Cavalry would likely suffer significant losses against the Expeditionary Army.

A rare opportunity had presented itself directly.

If the powerful species below did not seize the chance to strike at the Imperial Court’s position, they deserved to be cannon fodder.

The other Four Royal Families could pull Bimon along once but could not do it a second time.

If they continuously supported them strongly, it would sever the hopes of the other species below.

The accumulated dissatisfaction of the species would have no outlet and would eventually surge towards the Five Royal Clans.

Discussing the bigger picture with a species long exploited as cannon fodder held no meaning.

They were not the beneficiaries anyway; no matter how bad the situation got, it was just the same.

Recalling King Bimon Alexander suggesting at a meeting that “the Orc Empire needed to undergo a significant reform,” Daniel shook his head.

The problems exposed by the Empire had long been studied by everyone.

Calls for reform had always been present, but when it came to concrete actions, everyone was at a loss.

The Five Royal Clans holding the right to speak were all beneficiaries under the current rule system.

Reform meant cutting their own flesh to satisfy the interests and demands of the various species below.

“Let’s go, Daniel!

The Empire has already failed here dozens of times, adding one more wouldn’t hurt.

Facing a stubborn enemy like the Kingdom of Alpha, you must learn to adapt.

When it’s time to let go, you must let go.

If we fail this time, we still have the next time, and the time after that.

The current continental situation is very favorable for the Empire.

In future wars, we will not be fighting alone!”

the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor encouraged.

He held this son in high regard.

Although Daniel hadn’t managed to defeat Hudson, his command ability within the Empire was second to none.

Choosing a capable successor was of strategic importance for solidifying the position of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.

It would not do for Daniel to be utterly disheartened.

“Don’t worry, Father Emperor!

Such setbacks are still bearable for me; I’m just considering domestic affairs right now.”

Daniel’s words quickly settled the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor’s anxious heart.

It’s good he wasn’t knocked down; going through setbacks was the way to better growth.

Great generals are forged through adversity.

“Don’t overthink it; domestic issues are inherently very complex.

Thinking too much will only complicate matters further.

For now, the turbulence won’t affect us immediately.

In an unclear situation, it’s better to first observe the circumstances.”
