A few days passed after the coronation. The original plan for Huang San after he became king was to do a grand tour around Echos. He was to visit each of Echos' largest settlements to exert his presence as the new king and socialize with the local officials and influential clan leaders.
Unfortunately, the news of the invasion meant he no longer had the luxury to go on this grand tour.
During the last few days, all efforts were made to secure information. Zong Hua was now in charge of the kingdom's intelligence network, but she also utilized her merchant network to gather additional information.
The highest kingdom officials were now gathered in the throne room to listen to the report after an extensive investigation into the situation.
"Zong Hua, please tell us what you have found," Huang San said as he gave Zong Hua the floor.
Zong Hua came forward and started her report.
