Li Yunxiang followed along, and his presence had little to do with the operation against Lion Spring City, as he visited the Damman Kingdom as a representative of the Imperial Military.
The primary mission was to make use of the military bases in the southern region of the Damman Kingdom.
If long-range air force units could be deployed in advance, even if just for surveillance and blockade of Throat Strait, it would be hugely beneficial to the attack on Lion Spring City.
Li Yunxiang's presence was linked to another aspect of his identity.
Though not a Prince Consort, he was nonetheless a Quasi Royal Family member, able to claim ties with the Imperial Family, thus lending considerable prestige to the Empire's mission to the Damman Kingdom. As for achieving his objectives, Li Yunxiang wasn't too worried—after all, the Damman Kingdom didn't have much bargaining power.
Bearing these plans in mind, Bai Zhizhan didn't follow along just for the excitement.
