In a spacious room, the long table in front was filled with people, but if you looked closely, these people, though lifelike, had somewhat rigid and unnatural expressions.
The faint glimmers of red light emanating from their eyes proved that these were not normal humans, but various magic-controlled puppets.
These puppets varied in design but sat neatly beside the table like normal people, enveloping the room in a silent atmosphere.
After a long while, an elderly demonic puppet finally spoke: "Are you saying we need to do our utmost to assist His Majesty the Emperor, urging him to start the war prematurely?"
"But doing so will certainly cost us a lot of resources, and this emperor surely won't let us develop our strength peacefully. By then, many in our family will have to head to the war front, losing a lot of power."
