"King Huang Ti didn't let us see the artifact, but from the way he spoke, he clearly had one hidden away," Wei Zhuang continued his story. "We didn't tell him the whole story, but we could see that he was not interested in opposing Oredolia. Hence, we decided to back off without revealing too much."
"That's why you have Khode and Farghous invade Echos when you made your move," Amon said.
"Yes," Wei Zhuang nodded. "Echos and Kazhan are the two countries we failed to bring into our fold. We must keep them in check, but Khode's failure has caused a setback in our plan. We hoped to defeat Oredolia within a year, but it seems unlikely now with how things are going."
"I see. That's why you approached me," Amon said.
"That's right. King Huang Ti is unwilling to join our cause, but King Huang San might. I am hoping you can help us persuade him."
"Why would I do that?" Amon asked.
