Che Rong, the Left Minister of War, spoke up, "Just now, we received an urgent military order. The entire army is to immediately enter a state of war; entry without orders is forbidden.
Anyone who breaches or leaves without permission will be executed on the spot."

"In wartime, we only recognize commands from the Military Lord; all other orders are considered chaotic orders!
