1437: Chapter 1433: A Small Accident 1437: Chapter 1433: A Small Accident At this mont, the Mingxi Archipelago is the center of the world, the focus of countless gazes, and the location with the highest density of high-tier combat power in the entire world.
Too many people are watching this place, which is why news always flies so fast.
“What’s the situation at West Hill Mountain?
Isn’t that one of the most stable defense lines?”
“Yeah, I heard that’s the sturdiest defense line in our world.”
“Did the enemy have so special strongman show up?
Isn’t that where the Abyssal Insect Race is?”
“Too much chaos in the news…
But I’ve heard it’s trouble on our side.”
“How’s that possible?
Isn’t that Minister Hua’s hotown?”
“Uh, could it be the work of one of his rivals?
I heard Lin Nu’s people don’t like him, and he doesn’t get along with Grand Marshal Lu either…”
Who am I?
Where am I?
What are you talking about?
Why is it about again?
This ti, Lu Ping’an was truly innocent…
He didn’t even know where West Hill Mountain was, so how could it beco the outsiders’ fault?
Even if we really have been plotting behind the scenes, we can’t be blad for everything.
But when he actually inquired about the situation, well, it turned out to be sowhat related to him…
“Worried about a coup, fearing that our side would cause trouble, so they moved several core mbers of the advanced combat power from that defense line, and the opponent noticed the emptiness?”
It sounded absurd, but it was all too real…
The world’s top combat power is so important that the absence of just one individual could directly lead to the collapse of a defense line.
And the Abyssal Insect Race has one good trait, it’s very pragmatic.
As a collective of life forms, they nearly lack political concepts…
Once they sensed the vulnerability of the defense line, that the frontline’s defensive power had disappeared, they launched a great counteroffensive without hesitation.
The most frustrating thing was that when the defense line was being assaulted, at least half of the top combat power had been found to have been transferred away.
The remaining forces weren’t foolish, of course.
They didn’t want to be the sacrificial pawns in a losing battle, and in the end, the line collapsed.
“It seems he left on his own and took an eighth-tier with him…
When the leader isn’t present, of course, the rest don’t want to risk their lives.”
The news spread astonishingly fast, and soon all manners of “truths” filled the streets.
They sounded plausible, but it was impossible to discern the truth…
After all, another eighth-tier had already publicly supported Minister Hua and even made the newspapers.
But still, the spread was too fast.
In less than three days, Minister Hua had gone from being a national hero to a traitor to the country.
And from the intelligence that had been released…
He had caused the frontline’s vulnerability by forcibly ordering his peers to co help him, fearing a military coup.
If he was gambling, he evidently lost everything in one fell swoop.
“Was it our people who did this?”
“No, there was no need, it conflicted with our earlier plans…”
Minister Hua was at his wit’s end, but the more helpless situation was the bizarre current state.
The next day, Minister Hua faced severe criticism…
from another faction of the Salvation Army.
Clearly, there were more than just a few waiting to seize power.
Everyone was waiting for him to make a mistake.
With such a big blunder happening even before the conflict had started, criticism was relentless.
“…Can’t these people unite just a little bit?”
The situation deteriorated quickly.
Minister Hua insisted on not apologizing, not admitting fault, and not resigning, verbally treating the whole thing as an “accident.”
He seed to be stalling, waiting for the military and other departnts to finalize their areas of authority, waiting to firm up his position…
He could wait, but could the frontline?
What about the towns and villages behind the defense line?
This naturally exacerbated the internal conflicts of the Salvation Army and made the newly ford governnt wobble on the brink of collapse.
“It looks like that Minister Hua knows that if he were to apologize and step down, it would truly be the end of him…”
At this mont, it was a true test of Lu Ping’an’s decision-making ability.
What should the Easterners do now?
Push Minister Hua to resign, or prop up another faction to take power?
Let soone else take the fall, make Lulu the third…
“Snap!”
While Lu Ping’an was pondering, soone else could not hold back anymore.
The armored female marshal stood before Lu Ping’an, her worn War Flag draped with spots of blood, and an orange halo circling her.
The fully ard Marshal was resolute.
“…By acting on your own like this, you’ll be held accountable by them.”
“There’s not much ti left, the situation at the frontline is too dreadful, and I’ve already assembled my forces.”
“If you do this, it disrupts the plan, and no matter the outco, we’ll be in a passive position.”
“Two more cities have been breached, the Insect Swarm doesn’t like to leave survivors.”
Although the conversation seed to be talking at cross purposes, the things they needed to communicate were in place.
The female General slightly bowed her head, a gesture of respect and also an apology…
Undoubtedly, her unauthorized action after receiving military approval would put Lu Ping’an in a passive state.
But since she had co, she had made up her mind.
“Perhaps, I was never ant to be a qualified politician…”
The young girl of just over ten years old shook her head, though her smile remained sunny.
The War Flag waved without wind, and her eyes were full of battle spirit.
As she prepared to turn and leave, she was suddenly pulled back.
The girl was a bit surprised; her ntor wasn’t the sort to stop her…
“Hold on, I still need a mont to gather my forces.
I’ll go with you.”
“Teacher?”
“An Xin, go ahead and do what you must.
With here, even bad things will turn good; this trouble is nothing.”
Lu Ping’an floated up and patted the girl’s head, smiling in approval.
“Go.
This is the Grand Marshal I rember…
If you really were able to contain your fire, then I’d be worried, then I’d wonder if you were possessed.”
In Lu Ping’an’s eyes, calculation and reason served his goals…
He didn’t want to forget his objectives and true stance for the sake of tactics.
“Let’s go, Grand Marshal of the Salvation Army, it’s ti to save the world…”
Lu Ping’an stood up as well.
This ti, it probably wouldn’t be a war of tacit understanding.

“Marshal Lu has taken up arms?!”
At this critical mont, news always cos quick and fierce.
When the warships at the dock set sail, everyone knew this was no re rumor.
“What about that man?
He…”
And what Minister Hua was most concerned about was another person.
“He’s gone too, along with his people.”
At that mont, Minister Hua felt sowhat relieved.
Finally, no one was vying with him.
Now, all he needed to do was wait, and he could easily claim his position.
But the next day, the protests against him exploded like madness, with a dozen or so Marshals impeaching him all at once.
On the third day, Minister Hua announced his resignation…
