August 23rd, the sky was faintly bright.
Chen Mo was awakened by the urge to urinate. After relieving himself, he was attended to by his maid, who helped him dress and wash.
He was in a good mood because his strategy had been effective.
Since the Celestial Master Thieves swept through the Northern Land, threatening Qingzhou, Chen Mo had carefully studied them. The Celestial Master Thieves were not invincible; their current success was due to their overwhelming force and popular support.
But the actions of the Celestial Master Thieves had now lost public favor. With the loss of popular support, their power needed to be broken.
The Celestial Master Thieves had grown significantly since their sweep, becoming mighty. Breaking them wouldn't be a matter of a single day or night, but it wasn't particularly difficult either.
How did their power build up?
It was through a series of victories, resulting from the incompetence and defeats of the Official Soldiers.
