The reason the head of the Zhe family thought this way was because of the burning of the provisions at the front line. From the beginning to the end, it had been a play between him and the sacred Institute. How could they bear to burn the provisions of hundreds of thousands of soldiers? so, after the army had set out to the front line and stored the provisions in the city, they had already begun to secretly transport the provisions. Many of the provisions stored in the city were not actually food at all. They were just a shelf at the bottom, and only a little bit of food was on the top.
Later, they felt that the time was right, so they burned all the provisions. On the surface, it looked like all the provisions had been burned, but in fact, not much had been burned. They had all been taken away by the sacred Institute.
