It was the All Under Heaven when Abaddon's intelligence was relayed to Abide Leier.
"Damn it, he really is from Great Liang!"
Upon seeing the letter in his hand, Abide Leier's face immediately turned extremely grim; finally, the mastermind behind it all had been found.
I had underestimated the All Under Heaven. I never expected that a local native would have such a powerful navy, even defeating the Moses Empire at sea. Their strength is truly extraordinary.
Seeing Abide Leier's anger, the Great West envoy was overjoyed and hurriedly said:
"Lord Abide, our Emperor hopes that you will join forces with us to attack Huo Qubing of Great Liang and completely thwart Great Liang's conspiracy. After we destroy Great Liang, you can get an extra share!"
"One-tenth?"
Upon hearing this, Abide Leier was not as excited as expected; instead, her face turned extremely ugly, and she threw the letter away.
He angrily said to the envoy, "What does your emperor mean? He expects me to restrain Huo Qubing with just a verbal promise and a mere ten percent of the benefits? Who does he think he is!"
Damn it, they think I'm stupid to send an army of 100,000 to fight Huo Qubing with just an empty promise?!
He wasn't stupid; this was definitely not a good thing. It was that Abaddon, that bastard, wanted to use him to thwart Daliang's plan to reshape Frostwest and strike at its Great Liang.
If they actually offered benefits, that would be one thing, but expecting to take action on your own based on a vague promise of benefits is just fooling a fool.
ah?
The Great West Envoy was completely bewildered, staring at Abide Leier, who was furious and about to beat him up. He was lost in thought.
He murmured to himself, "This isn't right. It's not what His Majesty said. Shouldn't they be extremely angry and then attack Great Liang with us?"
That doesn't make sense. The Moses Empire lost an army of 300,000. Abide Leier should be furious, so how could he be angry with his own Great West Empire instead?
This is not right, this is very wrong!
He whispered, "Lord Abide, we had no such intention. As long as your country sends men to join us in attacking Huo Qubing, we will surely be able to ensure his escape."
If you think 10% isn't enough, how about 20%?
He assumed the other party was trying to raise the price, so he subconsciously increased it by 10%, giving them a 20% profit.
"Roll!"
Abide Leier's face turned green, and he roared, "Guards, throw him out!" He immediately ordered his men to throw him out.
ah?
The Great West envoy was dumbfounded. Just as he was about to speak, he was kicked away and met with Abide Leier's murderous gaze.
James Quinton, standing to the side, couldn't help but try to calm things down. "Boss, don't be angry. This Abaddon dared to scheme against us; we'll just take him down when we're done with it!"
He naturally saw through Abaddon's plan: to use them as henchmen, hoping his 100,000 men would help him destroy Huo Qubing, and then probably take the opportunity to devour him.
"Snort!"
Abide Leier sneered, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked toward the Great West Empire.
He said with a gloomy face, "After my uncle was ambushed and killed by the Great Liang, Abaddon's attitude towards us has obviously changed a lot. He probably thinks we are easy targets."
He definitely thinks we're nothing special, so he already has other ideas in mind!
Being capable of leading a region, he was no fool; he saw through Abaddon's thoughts almost instantly.
After his uncle was ambushed and killed, the myth of Abaddon as the overlord of the Land of the Far West was shattered, which instantly lessened Abaddon's fear of the Moses Empire.
His recent attitude reveals that he has lost a lot of respect for himself, and he probably already has ulterior motives.
What began as fear and apprehension has now transformed into covetousness.
This time, he clearly wants to use the strength of the Moses Empire to fight against the Great Liang. Once the Great Liang is defeated, this guy will probably be more arrogant than anything else.
James Quinton's face immediately darkened, and he angrily said, "Damn it, if it weren't for the Great Liang's sneak attack, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses."
When our army arrives, we will make Lin Yi's Great Liang blood flow like a river, and plunder all their wealth and women!
He also felt uncomfortable about the defeat of his own empire. If he didn't wash away this shame, the Moses Empire would never be able to hold its head high again.
"Good!"
Abide Leier nodded, agreeing with him. If they didn't seek revenge, how could they have the face to speak?
He said in a deep voice, "That's natural. The country doesn't know who the enemy is either, otherwise they would have already sent people. This grudge must be avenged, as it concerns the dominance of my Moses Empire in the seas."
If those colonies find out we've been defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it might even jeopardize our interests!
A single hair can affect the whole situation!
If news of the Moses Empire's disastrous naval defeat were to spread, Moses Empire deterrent power would be greatly diminished, and the colonies would become restless.
Furthermore, the Moses Empire wasn't without rivals; deep in the ocean, there was the Xinma Empire, which clashed with it. If the Xinma Empire were to take advantage of the situation and cause trouble, then the Moses Empire would be in serious trouble.
"So what do we do now? Abaddon probably figured out what we were thinking, which is why he's so fearless," James Quinton said helplessly.
Abide Leier shook his head and said with a wry smile, "We can't worry about that now. He's been ambushed by Huo Qubing, and we have our own obstacles too! If we get through this, there's no point in talking about the future!"
He received the latest news that Xue Rengui's 200,000-strong army was heading straight for them, which was why Abide Leier was so angry. "If I'll join you in attacking Huo Qubing, then who will join me in attacking Xue Rengui?"
Compared to the unattainable profits, his own life was more important; he didn't want to die here.
"What?"
James Quinton's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected that Great Liang had already made arrangements for him. If he went to attack now, wouldn't he be walking into Net?
Good heavens, that's incredibly insidious.
Fortunately, they detected it beforehand, otherwise they would have fallen into an ambush. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, he only has 200,000 troops. We might not be a match for him! On the mainland, we've never been afraid of anyone!"
Abide Leier shook his head and said in a deep voice, "We have too few people. Even if 100,000 people are very strong, they can't do much. Xue Rengui was able to break through the Frostwest, so his strength must be considerable."
With their continuous reinforcements, if we try to fight them head-on, we will only suffer heavy losses and eventually have to flee in disarray.
This is not in our interest!
As someone who prioritizes self-interest, Abide Leier would not allow himself to do something so irrational; it would be a crime and self-harm.
