Mozo's voice choked again. He exhaled a breath of foul air and placed his finger on the Nanmen Island, one of the twelve satellite islands adjacent to the Bali Sea, which is the Sea City, on the map in front of him and said:
"How about letting the garrison of Nanmen Island take over from you? They should still have enough ships and sailors available, right?"
In response to this, General Bass looked around at his colleagues for a long time, at a loss, before wiping his sweat and saying to Mozo:
"Yes, Your Majesty, they have enough men and warships, but that was three days ago. In the past few days, due to the continuous withdrawal of troops from various aspects, Nanmen, Nanmen Island has only the most basic garrison left."
"This is also your order. You allowed us to, within our power, draw troops from the rear to support the front. And we also have the mobilization order signed by you personally."
In response to this, Mozo nodded blankly and said:
"I remember that I signed the corresponding warrant, but I remember that the amount of money drawn each time was not much. Ah, has it accumulated into a lot?"
After wiping his face, Mozo continued:
"I still can't believe our defense was breached."
Mozo's words made the generals around him even more silent. Then Mozo cheered up and said:
"What about Hephaestus? As long as Hephaestus' fleet attacks, everything will be fine!"
In response to this order that was supposed to be a stimulant and a savior, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly silent.
After a long while, a Holy Spirit beside General Bass finally said with gritted teeth:
"General Hephis didn't have enough troops, so he didn't attack."
In response, Mozo was silent for a while. He lowered his head and looked at the pile of military maps on the table. Then, Mozo looked at the map and pointed out the names of three people:
"Bass, Polly, and Betus stay."
Following Mozo's roll call, the rest of the people quickly left the room which seemed to be getting darker and narrower.
When only the three people named by Mozo and Ophelia behind him were left in the room.
Mozo slapped the table fiercely and cursed almost angrily:
"It's an order to have Hephis attack, that's an order!"
"How could you ignore my orders?"
"Has it come to this?"
"All the troops are lying to me! Even my generals!"
Because it might be necessary to shout to people outside the room, the secret magic in the room was not activated. Only the magic of the entire Cardinal Court was activated.
Therefore, even people outside the room could hear the king's rage.
This made them all hang their heads in dejection. Some female clerks even couldn't help sobbing.
They were about to lose. Although the Sea City and the twelve satellite cities that served as their base camp were still built and had huge reserves, everyone could see that they were at the end of their rope.
And inside the room, Mozo's roar continued:
"These generals are a bunch of disloyal and unrighteous cowards!"
In response, General Bass couldn't help but say:
"Your Majesty, we also don't have..."
He knew that the defeat was the unshirkable responsibility of the generals and soldiers, but this was mainly because the legacy of previous corruption was so severe that they could not completely reverse it in a short period of time!
But before Bass could continue, Mozo's voice once again overwhelmed him, who was sweating profusely:
"Coward, traitor, bastard, idiot!"
"Your Majesty, this is really too much!"
Saint Polly couldn't help but want to dissuade them. The generals and soldiers were fighting on the front lines anyway. It was inappropriate to belittle them like this.
But Mozo's voice overwhelmed Saint Polly just as it had overwhelmed Bass before:
"These guys are a bunch of good-for-nothings. The reason they and you are generals and leaders is just because your family backgrounds are a little better and you studied a few more years in the military academy. For so many years, you have all been hindering my progress!"
"Look at your ancestors, look at your family emblem!"
"A bunch of useless idiots!"
"I should have cleaned you out like I cleaned out those parasites! I should have executed all the senior officers!"
"I should have taken control of all the troops in my own hands ahead of time!"
Mozo roared as he walked around the room. His voice penetrated the walls powerfully and reached the ears of everyone outside. This made the already depressing atmosphere even more depressing.
"I don't have any noble birth. I am just a poor man with mud legs! But I have conquered an era and a race!"
"And you are just traitors, a group of traitors who betrayed the people!"
"They and you should all be put to death, and all traitors should pay tribute to theirs and our people with their own blood!"
Having said this, Mozo seemed to have lost all his energy and sat back in his chair, but he still sighed and continued:
"They should all drown in their own blood!"
As he spoke, Mozo covered his face and said dejectedly:
"Everyone is turning a deaf ear to my words."
“Everyone is lying to me.”
"it's over."
"The war is over."
This sentence silenced the three remaining generals and saints.
What the king said was obvious to almost everyone, but this was the first time it came out of the king's mouth.
Mozo's voice continued:
"But if you think I will leave the Sea City just like that, you are wrong. Very wrong!"
"I'm going to stay here, no matter what it turns out to be. I'm going to be here forever."
Finally, Mozo put down his hand, but he still did not look up at his general and saint. He just said weakly:
"It shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be like this. We should have won, just like we did when we defeated the dragon."
"But it's over, because of you good-for-nothings, everything is over. It's obviously not my fault. But I have to bear the consequences."
A feeling of helplessness and sadness at the hero's old age instantly filled the entire room.
After a long while, Mozo waved his hand at the three people and said:
"Go ahead and do whatever you want."
The three of them hesitated for a moment before bowing and leaving the room.
And closed the door, which also meant that the secret magic of this room had been opened from the outside.
Outside, when everyone saw the three people coming out, they immediately surrounded them.
They all wanted to know what the king said in the end. Although they heard almost everything, they still held on to a glimmer of hope.
But the result was negative. The three people who came out just glanced at them, shook their heads with complicated eyes, and left.
They are going to prepare for the decisive battle on home soil.
The king does not plan to leave the Sea City, so he can only stay here.
There are people like Asman in the Twin Churches and the Ocean Church.
But there are not many people like this anywhere. For example, after the three of them left, several people in the crowd who were still there quietly left the crowd.
What no one knows is that after people leave.
Mozo, who had a dejected look on his face just now, instantly got rid of his dejection, let out a long sigh, and crossed his legs on the table.
Behind him, Ophelia also obediently stretched out her hands and began to massage Mozo's temples.
While enjoying Ophelia's service, Mozo closed his eyes and said:
"I finally understand the Führer's despair. Although I am different from him and this is his own fault."
449 Hooked (3k)
Of course, Ophelia heard Mozo's mumbling.
While keeping her hands moving, she asked in a slightly strange tone:
"Your Majesty, who is the Führer?"
Mozo thought for a moment and then said:
"He could have been a hero and a great man but he went crazy instead."
"Yeah?"
Such people have appeared countless times in the history of this world, so when Mozo didn't intend to elaborate, Ophelia changed the subject:
"Then your majesty, why are you doing this? Bass and the others just now can obviously be completely trusted."
Mozo heard this and said helplessly:
"It's not that I don't trust them, it's because I believe in them that I do this."
"I still don't quite understand what you mean."
"What it means is that because of those termites, our church is now full of holes despite looking intact on the outside."
At this point, Mozo seemed a little helpless.
The corruption of the Ocean Church was shocking to him. Of course, what almost suffocated Mozo was the various rooms in the major fleets that had been modified to affect the power output, as well as the seriously depleted ammunition reserves.
These twenty-seven fleets are the lifeblood of the Sea People and the biggest trump card of the Ocean Church besides the Goddess.
As a result, those parasites even dared to do this.
What made Mozo feel even more exhausted was that the goddess had already started the purge before.
But how can we say it? No one can say that this approach is wrong. It is not an exaggeration to say that this approach is great. It can be called a revival of the dynasties in Mozo's previous life!
But the embarrassing thing about this matter is that not long after he started, the Ocean Church and the Gemini Church went to war.
The Great Purge cleared out the upper and part of the middle levels, but the lower and more middle levels were still not effectively screened, and what was even more troublesome was that these people had lost their 'old bosses' who could effectively control them.
Before the two churches declared war on each other, under the supervision of the true God, they basically had no choice but to wait for death.
But after the two churches declared war, they had a new path - rebellion!
Simple rebellion was not enough; they also used their identities and positions to sabotage the war preparations of the Sea People in every possible way.
It is worth mentioning that the first battle was also a masterpiece of these guys, and it even far exceeded Mozo's expectations.
In Mozo's initial estimate, the first battle would at best end in a draw, because even if there was a problem with the breakdown, the opponent would be cautious, and as long as his barrage output could keep up, the opponent would not get any good results.
What surprised Mozo was that the group of guys actually replaced their ammunition under such circumstances!
Well, it can't be said to be a change, it should be said that they have successfully kept the "things" before the Great Purge until now.
As for how this was discovered, it was because the three fleets reported before setting out on the expedition that the quartermasters responsible for replenishing ammunition, the storage officers responsible for guarding the ammunition depots, and the equipment officers responsible for spot-checking armaments had all disappeared.
Later, these people were caught by the goddess before they could sneak across the river. That's how Mozo knew the whole story.
Those ammunitions had been replaced a hundred years ago, and subsequent replenishments were simply added to the accounts and went directly into the pockets of adults at all levels.
This situation has continued to this day, but there is a slight difference: before they concealed the incident because they were afraid of being convicted, but now they conceal the incident in order to gain merit, of course, merit for the other side.
It has to be said that as long as they successfully run to the other side, they will probably never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
It’s a pity that they didn’t have the courage to follow the fleet, but chose to disembark early and wait for an opportunity to escape.
This time, I'm completely screwed.
Because of this, Mozo truly realized what kind of fatal problems existed on his side - as long as there were some termites in key positions that had not been cleaned up in time, they would be able to use the convenience of their positions to do things that would attract the attention of even the gods!
Before the incident, who could have imagined that such a critical area would have systemic problems? !
The defeat of the three fleets is the best example. It was a legend that even thousands of dragons were helpless against!
Therefore, in order to change this, Mozo came up with a very feasible solution.
The performance just now imitating the head of state was just
Part of the plan—Mozzo certainly knew that Bass and the generals at the front could be trusted.
