"This is an act of treason, openly defying the royal decree!" His lips were trembling as he quickly walked forward a few steps to calm his emotions, then turned back, face flushed with fury, and yelled at Thunder Mountain.
"I and my soldiers do not wish to die!"
Thunder Mountain lowered his eyes, "Commander Wu can pretend not to have heard today's conversation. To outsiders, say everything is done according to the State Preceptor's orders; carry on with what should be done."
"The State Preceptor and I will apologize to His Majesty at the appropriate time."
"I explain the reasons to you, so you are not ignorant of the truth and don't make decisions that are detrimental to everyone."
Wu Xing's eyes were wide with anger, almost bulging, glaring at Thunder Mountain. Thunder Mountain calmly accepted his fury, having already made his choice, there was no hesitation left.
After a while, the anger in Wu Xing's eyes slowly subsided, shaking his cloak fiercely, he sighed deeply,
"Alas!"
