Chapter 983 - 453: Fang Qingyi coughs up blood! Sudden turnaround!_2
It can be said that the entire command layer of the City Defense Army has rotted away completely.
After Suo Lun took over the Royal City, he immediately began purging the City Defense Army, placing the chief and deputy admirals and eight commanders under house arrest!
Moreover, he immediately selected eight deputy commanders from the Forbidden Army to serve as temporary commanders of the City Defense Army!
However, this was far from enough; the entire City Defense Army had been thoroughly corrupted, pulling out any centurion at random proved they were unclean.
But after Suo Lun took over the Royal City, there really wasn’t enough time, and there were far more pressing and important matters at hand.
Moreover, a major overhaul of the City Defense Army isn’t something that can be completed overnight. Suo Lun didn’t have a large number of mid-to-low level officers at his disposal, and couldn’t afford to provoke the City Defense Army too harshly, lest a real mutiny be incited.
Therefore, before Queen Yan Chuo and her Rock Thieves Corps entered the Royal City, Suo Lun would adopt a gradual approach with the City Defense Army, like slowly boiling a frog, to avoid alarming them.
However, the officers of the City Defense Army knew their end was near.
Originally, they were powerless to resist. But now, with the Royal City on the verge of complete chaos and civil war, they sensed a chance to survive.
