The final decision on the two strategies was based on the opinion of a first-rank official.
The proposal for a national war came from the second prince of the Duke's mansion, but it was too radical and unsuitable. There was no need to consult the ancestors; Xia Mang Yuxing immediately vetoed the idea.
As the Crown Prince mentioned, if the national war were to drag on and the Southern Domain suddenly attacked, what would they do?
Although the Mo Luo Nation was strong, its strength was mainly superficial, and its foundation was lacking.
A national war was unnecessary, they could defeat the enemy without it. With just four cities, a steady advance and slow erosion would be enough to entangle the Mo Luo Nation.
However, even so, the expenses of this campaign were staggering.
Even a tier 6 Emperor couldn't bear the burden, and only an ancient kingdom like Great Xia had the courage for such an endeavor.
