really!
In the council, all the family members looked at Abide Leien with anger in their eyes.
" Abide Leien, your family owes us an explanation!"
"First, he lost 300,000 elite troops, and now he's directly leading the enemy to attack our colonies. What's going on with this William?"
"You must compensate us for this loss, or we will not let this go!"
"You'd better deal with William yourselves. He knows a lot about us and will definitely be a menace!"
For them, a place that causes them enormous losses and poses a huge crisis is absolutely not to be allowed to remain.
Moreover, Abide William held a high position in the Moses Empire and knew many top-secret information. Such a person had to be silenced, otherwise it would be very detrimental to the empire.
Faced with the threats from numerous elders, Abide Leien's expression turned somewhat grim.
His Abide Family was among the most prominent in the Moses Empire, and they might normally be able to ignore this threat, but this time it had infringed on everyone's interests, which was no laughing matter.
If things go wrong, these people will gang up on them, and the consequences will be unimaginable. The Abide Family might even be swallowed up.
He said with a grim face, "Gentlemen, we will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it was indeed William who did it, the Abide Family will be responsible for your losses."
However, the specifics will have to wait until the patriarch returns. He is still fighting for the empire; I can't very well call him back now, can I?"
For now, we can only stall for time and think about other issues.
This matter needs to be discussed back home. If compensation is involved, it would be an astronomical figure, so it's not something that can be easily resolved.
"Okay, I hope you keep your word, otherwise you'll definitely regret it!"
Although everyone was somewhat unwilling, they could only give him time to deal with the matter.
After all, as he said, the Abide Family is still conquering the Xinma Empire, and he can't just send him back now.
Furthermore, the information needs to be confirmed first; it would be too hasty to assign responsibility to an entire family based on a single piece of information.
Emperor Moshili withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Furthermore, declare to the world that the Moses Empire has entered a state of war, and all reserve troops need to be expanded. We must prepare for a two-front war!"
We should not be too idealistic about things; we must always be prepared to deal with the unpredictable changes in war. This is the best approach.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the empire will be completely thrown into chaos, which is not a good thing and could lead to utter disorder.
"That's excellent, that way there won't be any mistakes!" Amu nodded and said in a deep voice.
At this moment, the empire is actually in some danger. It must prepare to fight on two fronts in order to remain invincible.
Then there's another question: should we take back those colonies now, and if so, how?
Everyone fell silent at this question.
Now that the imperial army has gone to the Xinma Empire, and some troops need to be left in the country to maintain stability, only a small number of troops are available for deployment.
Under these circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to reclaim the colony from Great Liang.
At first, they instinctively avoided the problem, but now that they are facing it head-on, they realize how tricky it is.
If all these troops are recalled, the battle situation at the front will inevitably be delayed.
If they don't withdraw their troops, they won't be able to reclaim the colonies with this limited force, so it's a dilemma.
Emperor Moshili took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, " The Great Liang Empire is more terrifying than we imagined. They seized our weakness immediately, knowing we couldn't counterattack right away!"
In this situation, those colonies will likely have to be temporarily abandoned, as there is currently no way to reclaim them.
"What can we do then? We can't just leave this situation unresolved, can we?" someone said unwillingly.
This represents countless benefits; it would be heartbreaking and unbearable to see it snatched away by others.
Amu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Under these circumstances, the only option for now is to abandon these colonies. A small act of impatience could ruin a great plan."
The most important thing now is to conquer the Xinma Empire; other matters can be temporarily abandoned to ensure the stability of the empire's base.
The prerequisite for possessing these colonies was a complete Moses Empire, which was essential to guarantee everything.
If the Moses Empire were gone, then colonies would be even less likely to exist.
Everything must be done with the goal of preserving the strength of the Moses Empire. Only by ensuring the strength of the Moses Empire can it be reclaimed in the future.
Everyone's faces stiffened, and they instinctively wanted to object, but in the end they could only sigh; there was truly no way to resolve this difficulty.
"Your Majesty, this matter is of utmost importance. What will become of our interests?"
"So much money and supplies have fallen into the hands of Great Liang. Does that mean we have nothing left?"
"The Empire cannot back down; if we surrender, it will throw our colonies into chaos."
A few people still wanted to struggle a bit more; they were really reluctant to give up such valuable assets, which were priceless treasures.
Emperor Moshili stopped him with a gesture and said in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about this for now. I've made my decision to temporarily abandon the plan to reclaim the colonies."
Even so, we can't let Great Liang it easy and allow them to incite the natives to rebel!
Those people are simple-minded; with just a little provocation, they're bound to cause trouble!
He knew those colonies best; those people were simple-minded and would inevitably cause trouble with just a little provocation.
As a result, the Great Liang Empire can forget about having a good time either. With those natives causing trouble, it will definitely be in a mess.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty's move was brilliant! It completely blinded the Great Liang!"
"Those people are simple-minded to begin with. We'll just say that Great Liang wants to seize everything from them and is even more evil than us. That's enough!"
A smile appeared on everyone's face. Those natives were people that the Moses Empire had spent decades trying to completely subdue; only they knew how much effort they had put in.
The Great Liang Empire has only just been invaded, and there will likely be many more troubles to come. It's unlikely that everything will be resolved within this year.
Moshili Chaer nodded. "That's settled then."
You can't have it all. Since you're destined to give up something, make your choice sooner rather than later. There's no need to agonize over it.
Once a single punch is delivered that completely dismantles the Xinma Empire, everything will turn around for the better.
When that time comes, it will be the day of the decisive battle between our Moses Empire and the Great Liang Empire.
