Chapter 155: Peace All Over the World

Aeryon harboured no immediate designs of conquering Yan. 

Such a bold move would undoubtedly provoke the princes of the region, and Aeryon knew he lacked the necessary million-strong army to enforce his will. 

It is simply not the opportune moment for that grand endeavour.

Instead, he recognized the value of sowing terror within the hearts of the Yan people. 

By striking fear into their very souls, he sought to dissuade them from rallying against him, and if they did, he hoped that their courage would be tainted by a lingering sense of dread.

Yet, Aeryon was not without his own sense of urgency. 

He understood that time was a finite commodity, and his overarching plan loomed on the horizon. 

The impending grand design could not be indefinitely postponed, and as it began to unfold, Aeryon realized he could not perpetually remain at the southern front.
