"Their ability to kill is largely driven by their speed." The emperor nodded approvingly. "You've paid close attention." He then turned to Hua Yanli and Yun Qi and said, "And what about you two?"
Startled, Hua Yanli and Yun Qi grew alert at the emperor's question. They had once been the future stars of Qingzhou City, full of audacity and even demanding Qin Huai pay in blood. Now, they barely dared to raise their voices.
"If you want to defeat these demons on equal footing, it's safer if many of us attack together," Yun Qi suggested tentatively.
Hua Yanli was bolder in his approach. "We should take the initiative, plan, and attack first!"
"You all have potential." The emperor chuckled. "But none of you hit the mark." They all listened attentively, curious about his insights.
