章節 173: The Puppet Master

"How are the plans for the war coming along?" a Tigerkin with black stripes in his hair asked. "Will we be able to mobilize in a month?"

"At the earliest, yes," an Old Tigerkin wearing glasses replied. "But according to my informant in the Palace, the Conservative Faction is trying to convince the King that launching a war against the Barbarians will just cause hardships for the people.

"Fortunately, our faction has more members than them, Lord Brigham. Because of this, the pleas of the Conservative Faction will not change anything. At most, they can delay the war for two to three months. But, this war will push through no matter what."

Brigham shook his head firmly. "The war must not be delayed. If we can't move out in a month, we should move out after two months. Tell everyone in the capital to push for this proposal. Make sure to start the war propaganda as well.
