บท 728: Doubts

On the first day of the chaotic war —

The Dragon King issued a decree, demanding that all the remaining kings surrender, abdicate from their imperial titles, and wait for the new Khan's inauguration. Of course, such a rude and tyrannical order received no approval, and war broke out right that afternoon.

To distinguish it from the tangled warfare that had started the night the old Khan died, this second war was named the "One Month War," to indicate that it started exactly a month after the Khan's death.

The Court Attendants Army had been reorganized into ten contingents of 10,000 troops each. Half of them were sent to clear the ruins of the Royal Court, while the other half marched forward, each in different directions, the furthest target being hundreds of miles away.

The 30,000 cavalrymen of Shulitu were also sent to the battlefield of the Royal Court as the army reserve.
