Chapter 1472 - 1205: Crushing Defeat
Unlike the civil officials who are reluctant to go to war, the military generals are extremely excited, eagerly requesting to fight, after all, they need war to get promoted.
As a result, the two sides habitually started arguing again, one side saying they are ignorant of the people’s livelihood, the other accusing them of cowardice.
The Emperor sat high above, letting them argue, while he lowered his eyes, pondering something.
"If I remember correctly, didn’t we recruit new soldiers half a year ago?" But as soon as he spoke, the hall instantly fell silent.
"To report to Your Majesty, that was eight months ago, and they have just finished the first round of training." The Minister of War thought for a few moments and then provided a precise answer.
"Hmm, since they are new recruits, they still need to see blood. Let the new and old soldiers mix, and a month from now, conduct a tentative attack on Cave Abyss Sect’s River Mouth State. If successful, capture it, and simultaneously deploy the navy to seize the archipelago."
"As for military resources, I will take it from my internal treasury."
Having said that, the Emperor quietly looked down at the numerous civil officials below, putting great pressure on them.
"We respectfully obey Your Majesty’s decree!"
The ministers all bowed their heads to accept the order.
The Emperor had already taken a step back voluntarily, so they dared not push further.
"Then make the arrangements."
