"To put it bluntly, if we look at Oxiulia in the traditional sense of a country, it's already a fallen nation."
"Forty percent of the population has been lost nationwide, 60% of the land is occupied, and unidentified troops are taking over our lands and cities. In their hands, wasteland becos factories and buildings in a flash of white, only the best Architect can barely match this speed of infrastructure."
"The situation in the capital is considered good. The defenses of Destiny Fort are adequate; still, 2 million people survive, but production has stopped, and with those defeated soldiers—by which I an the Primordial Abyss Warriors are continuously deployed, many people feel frightened."
"We don't know who the enemy is, we don't know how they're attacking, our civilization is being destroyed comprehensively, they kill us like they're doodling on a map, even the Narrative Civilization wouldn't be like this."
"Water, food, safe environnt, clean land... these things probably can't even be guaranteed within The Imperial Palace. The army still has so stockpiled supplies, but that is for the military. If used for disaster relief, we're afraid the population won't be preserved, and in the end, the army would be displeased..."
Oshen stood with his hands behind him, next to Li Aozi, listening to these reports, couldn't help but clench his fists and whispered:
"Secret, they are stronger than before."
"They've always been this strong."
Li Aozi said blandly.
"But they weren't like this during Haines, at that ti they couldn't even assemble a sizeable force..."
"That's because I locked Haines' combat capability limit, beyond a certain rank of powerful individuals were either killed by or forcibly expelled by Haines using planetary power."
Li Aozi rested on his cheek, squinting his eyes, and explained:
"The weak point of the Secret system professionals is the difficulty of growth, requiring extrely high qualifications, and during reforging needing rare and powerful magical creatures—in Starry Abyss, these issues are not a problem."
"In the later stages of professionals, especially those at the level of Senator and Speaker, they are comparable to Deities, even stronger than you guys, although without a Divine Country, they are more skilled in using and distorting the power of rules."
"During Haines, I managed to secularize the native civilization, enhancing technology and industrialization, gradually eliminating the reliance on mystical powers, so before Secret professionals could mature, they could be killed by guns and swords."
"As for extinguishing the Destroyer Dragon Race, Titan, and Technico Holy Clan civilizations, it's not just about quelling the Destroyer, but also preventing Secret from obtaining excellent reforging materials from these powerful creatures, thus advancing to the ninth reforging and the final existence."
"I see."
Oshen nodded:
"Back then, many people were exiled because of this... Now it seems your actions were correct, almost wiping out Secret."
"It can't be exterminated."
Li Aozi said coldly:
"Having such a situation is already better than I imagined, I've been chasing, trying to achieve industrialization in the Border Abyss environnt for thirty-seven years, barely touched the threshold—Earthlings did it in four hours, their four hours surpass my forty years of achievents."
Oshen looked despondent, silent for a while, then said:
"Did you intend to fight these monsters from the start? Even knowing you weren't their match?"
"If you don't personally experience it, people would still doubt fighting Earth, even think Earthlings aren't bastards and demons. They want to stay out, but don't realize the Empire's territory origins. Whether it's Oxiulia's desert or barren land, not an inch of the Empire's territory hasn't been soaked in blood."
Li Aozi closed his eyes:
"Even now, people continue to question this war."
Oshen was speechless: "How is that possible, Earthlings have already attacked, with such a stance, Secret Councilors must have gathered an army, intent on annihilating us, how can soone think peace is possible—"
Bang!
Before he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, an Empire Samurai imdiately knelt to report:
"Your Majesty, a large number of mobs are approaching The Imperial Palace! They are ard with weapons and Molotov cocktails, imposing, and have looted the barracks and security office, fully ard."
"This is not worth reporting."
Pri Minister sservey waved dismissively:
"Just mobs, the situation is indeed not very good, let the palace steward allocate so food and resources to them, and send them off."
"Pri Minister, Your Majesty."
The Samurai hesitated for a mont, then said:
"Those mobs are sowhat unusual, they demand you personally appear, by na want to negotiate with you, and even uttered so rebellious words, this..."
"Speak without worry." sservey said discontentedly: "This is the Emperor's palace, allowing you in ans you report truthfully to the Emperor."
"Yes, Pri Minister."
The Samurai looked at Li Aozi, bowed his head, and said:
"The mobs say, 'The Emperor started this war,' also saying 'soone who killed their own brother is indeed brutal to the people,' also, 'indeed Li Aozi isn't the rightful one, if he had been the true heir of the Dawnbreaker Family, we wouldn't have fallen into this situation,' 'I don't care who's the Emperor, I just want my daily als,' 'abolish the Emperor, abolish the governnt,' 'regardless of who Oxiulia is at war with, I'll only lead the way for the Empire's enemies'..."
