"Once the snow stops, reinforce the entrance to our basin for me."
Mark Zou savored his steaming meal, feeling thoroughly content. He owed his good mood entirely to the heavy snowfall—he could easily imagine the miserable faces of those in the Wynn Domain and Sage Domain right now.
"Chief, do you really intend to..."
Mark Zou burst out laughing.
"Hmph, we'll see how they act. If they still want to treat us like subordinates, what's stopping us from going to war with them, using this basin as our stronghold?"
Many of the generals in the room looked at Mark Zou with lingering fear, none of them agreeing to openly break with the Wynn Domain.
"Think about it—those people from Wynn Domain and Sage Domain made our soldiers deliver supplies to the mountains and forests first. And what was the result? How many died?"
This incident left the Zou Clan deeply enraged. In such weather, their own soldiers were forced to cross grasslands already covered in snow. So, there were many in the clan who supported Mark Zou in tearing up the alliance with Wynn Domain.
"The Grant Family won't miss this opportunity. If we join forces with them, Wynn Domain and Sage Domain might not stand a chance..."
"No, Chief, that's not possible."
