intelligence?

Morandi paused for a moment, then opened the intelligence report in his hand and began to read it.

After glancing at it a few times, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaim, "Your Majesty, is this intelligence true?"

This intelligence is absolutely terrifying. It contains statistics on the strength and equipment of the Great Liang Navy, which are incredibly powerful.

The enemy also possessed advanced warships and weapons; their warships were indestructible, and their weapons were capable of attacking the enemy across the sea.

Moreover, the other side possesses a professional navy of 500,000 men, who roam the seas with impunity, uprooting everything in their path and dominating the eastern seas.

The previous ambush of the Moses Empire's 300,000-strong army was also orchestrated by the Great Liang, who even pinpointed the location of the Moses Empire.

Not only were they planning to attack the Moses Empire, but they were also preparing to compete with it for colonies and had their sights set on the Great West Empire.

"This..."

Morandi was somewhat frightened. Although he was quite afraid of the strength of Great Liang, he couldn't believe that Great Liang had a navy of 500,000. That was too outrageous.

It's important to understand that the Great Liang already had a military force of around two to three million. If you add this 500,000 naval troops, wouldn't that reach a staggering four million? That number is truly terrifying.

Hahaha!

Abaddon waved to the bystanders, signaling them to leave.

After they had all left, Abaddon couldn't help but laugh, "Of course it was half true and half false. If it were all false, the other side wouldn't believe it anyway."

"Fake?" Morandi's lips twitched. His Majesty had gone astray; this was a complete scam.

Abaddon sighed and said with a wry smile, "I also want real information, but the ocean isn't our forte; it's just too dangerous."

Although he was also interested in investigating the situation of Great Liang at sea, the water was not the home ground of the Great West Empire.

He sent out several groups of spies, disguised as fishermen, to sneak into the East to investigate news of Great Liang, but they all never returned.

Finally, he received news that a group of pirates were running rampant in this sea area, and all the fishing boats that set sail from the Great West Empire had been ravaged by them.

This aroused his suspicion; he was certain that someone was deliberately blocking information so that he wouldn't know the truth.

However, even though he didn't receive any specific information, that didn't stop him from making one up himself. So he used his imagination and combined it with previous naval battles to create a story.

The Moses Empire might not believe the whole story, but that's not a problem.

Having suffered such a great loss, the Moses Empire would naturally not let it go easily; they must have investigated as well. If they couldn't find out about that naval force, the Moses Empire probably couldn't either.

This would almost certainly confirm the suspicion that the Great Liang is the one, since the Great Liang is the only one with such power on this continent.

Even if others wanted to become suspects, they wouldn't be qualified.

"Haha, it seems being powerful is a mistake too. This time, Great Liang has no choice but to take the blame." Morandi couldn't help but laugh and cry. Although the reason was a bit far-fetched, it was undeniably true.

After all, even if you want to develop a navy, you need to have the overall strength to do so; otherwise, you can forget about building a navy of 500,000 men.

For this reason alone, Great Liang must take the blame. Who told you to destroy the Zhennan Dynasty? Now you don't even have anyone to share the blame with.

Abaddon nodded slightly, but there was no hint of smugness on his face. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "This matter is not entirely a miscarriage of justice against Great Liang. I have always felt that Great Liang is involved in this naval battle, but we just can't find any evidence."

Therefore, we cannot be careless. We must send people to guard the coastline, not only to guard against the Great Liang, but also to guard against the Moses Empire!

He didn't believe in any alliances. If alliances were useful, the Great West Empire wouldn't have attacked the Frostwest Empire in the first place. Therefore, he was well aware of the significance of alliances.

If you have absolute strength, that's fine, but otherwise, even if the other party breaks the agreement, you still can't do anything to them.

This is reality, the cruel law of the jungle, where the weak have no allies.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Morandi's pupils contracted; that was indeed a problem.

Even though the Moses Empire and His Majesty had cooperated before, this cooperation never materialized, and the Great West Empire itself was the target of the Moses Empire.

If the other person takes the opportunity to touch you, that would be truly awkward.

Abaddon took a deep breath, picked up a sword from the side and handed it to him, saying, "This sword belongs to our ancestor. He used it to conquer the Great West Empire, and it is also a sacred object of our Great Liang."

This time you will go with A Long to act as the military supervisor and control this army of 500,000. Before I arrive, you will be responsible for keeping an eye on Uncle Adolf.

If he acts recklessly, then use this sword to finish him off!

He didn't trust his uncle Adolf because the latter wielded far too much power.

Even though he had managed to get the other party to the Frostwest border, he still had the other party's influence in the court, which was very frustrating.

The other party had always been a domineering force and had been expanding its military influence, which made the emperor feel like he had a thorn in his side and a fishbone stuck in his throat.

If the enemy dares to lay a finger on this army of 500,000, then I have no right to hesitate; I must strike decisively.

Adolf already possessed considerable military power, and if he were to go further, he could threaten the imperial authority, something he could not accept.

"Kill the King!!!"

Morandi trembled, feeling the sword in his hand suddenly become as heavy as a thousand pounds. He was about to shoulder the responsibility of killing the king.

He nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured, if Adolf dares to harbor any disloyal thoughts, I will personally kill him!"

"Okay, just do your best, I'll be there soon!" Abaddon patted Morandi on the shoulder, then turned and left.

Time is of the essence; if we don't act quickly, the so-called alliance will be meaningless. Therefore, we must manage the Moses Empire as soon as possible.

Even if we don't wait for a second round of reinforcements, we at least need the 100,000 troops that Abide Leier has to come first; otherwise, I won't feel at ease leaving them behind.

This time, the army of the Great West Empire moved very quickly, almost without stopping, and went directly into the territory of Frostwest.

really!

Upon entering Frostwest territory, they immediately encountered Emperor Ashina Tiandu of Frostwest, who was building a city on the border.

Seeing this, Morandi's lips twitched involuntarily, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "This guy is actually a king? This is just too shameless!"

This guy actually moved the capital to the border! It's obvious he can't defend it himself, so he needs the Great West Empire's help. He's completely shameless!
