The leader of the rebel army naturally did not dare to object in the slightest, and quickly said, "You can rest assured, our people know what they can and cannot do, and we will also keep them in check, absolutely not letting them cause any trouble for your subordinates."
Zhou Yan said with satisfaction, "You only need to pacify the ordinary people in the city. As for the troops of the Netherworld Dynasty, my people will naturally deal with them."
"After we have dealt with everything, we will leave. I have no interest in staying here."
Zhou Yan did not think highly of the Netherworld Planet at all, and certainly would not stay.
The leader of the rebel army also knew that Zhou Yan would not stay and did not think highly of the land of the Netherworld, which was why they cooperated so well, waiting for Zhou Yan to defeat all the soldiers of the Netherworld Dynasty.
After the leader of the rebel army left, Ye Bufan said, "This is the so-called 'He who does many unrighteous deeds will perish by himself.' The rule of the Netherworld Dynasty is already so corrupt, but they themselves do not realize it, and even their own people have begun to rebel against their rule."
"This will only accelerate the demise of the Netherworld Dynasty. It has no effect on me anyway, and it can reduce trouble. At least my soldiers can take these cities more smoothly."
Zhou Yan did not care about these matters at all. As long as the rebels were not stupid, they would know what to do.
Meanwhile, Abbott, the Grand Marshal of the Netherworld Dynasty, had already obtained intelligence from the front line. After looking at the intelligence, Abbott's expression became grave.
He immediately convened a meeting in a palace in a main city, which was only ten thousand kilometers away from Zhou Yan's location.
Abbott had to wait for his own army to arrive before he could launch an attack. He was still waiting for the troops from various regions to gather. Once they were gathered, they would launch a devastating attack.
By the time the many generals arrived, two hours had passed, which made Abbott very displeased.
Abbott directly slammed the table in anger and roared, "Your speed is too slow! It took two hours for one meeting, you scoundrels!"
"Do you know how fast Zhou Yan is advancing?"
"That guy has already destroyed two provinces of our territory. The key is that in these areas, there are also rebel forces helping this Zhou Yan."
"These damned traitors have colluded with Zhou Yan, which is why our territory has fallen so quickly."
"Two provinces, so quickly, how long has it been!" a general said in shock.
"I didn't expect their advancement speed to be so fast, it's beyond our expectations."
"Damn rebels, these traitors, I will never let them go."
"For now, let's see how we can resist them. According to the intelligence, their territory attack is too powerful. We must set up many formations and launch a terrifying attack on them to defeat their territory!"
Abbott still stated the main purpose of this meeting, which was how to destroy Zhou Yan's territory.
They had made some plans before, but now, it seemed like a complete waste of effort. Reality was completely different from what they had imagined.
The strength of Zhou Yan's territory far exceeded their expectations. They had to come up with a new, effective plan that could eliminate Zhou Yan.
This stumped many generals, as there was no way they could come up with any good ideas in such a short time, and they could only rely on their previous methods.
Abbott was very helpless. Every minute they delayed, the land of the Netherworld Dynasty would fall further.
"When will the remaining army arrive?" Abbott inquired.
"The number of airships is limited, so it will take at least a few more days. This is the fastest speed. However, the soldiers from the surrounding provinces have already arrived one after another, waiting for your command."
"We have already begun to set up a huge killing formation in the direction of Zhou Yan's territory, but when will the materials provided by the dynasty arrive?"
Abbott was furious upon hearing this, "What? The materials from the dynasty haven't arrived yet? These scoundrels, could they have embezzled them!"
"More than half of the equipment in my reserve equipment depot has not been delivered yet. And what makes me even angrier is that many of the equipment are clearly scrap metal, from who knows how long ago. Marshal Abbott, you can't let our soldiers go into battle empty-handed, can you!"
...
All the generals expressed their various problems. It wasn't that they weren't working hard, nor that they were deliberately late, but that their imperial city's support was not strong enough!
The equipment provided was either old or broken, or various support materials were not in place, and there were even many defective products. Even food supply was insufficient.
Abbott became angrier as he listened. When he left, Emperor Gedwen Neil had promised him that all supplies would arrive at the front line as soon as possible.
But the result was various defective equipment, and even more than half of the items did not arrive.
How could this not make him disheartened? He was almost infuriated to death by those civilian officials!
Abbott quickly said, "Don't worry, I will go and inquire with Emperor Gedwen Neil. I believe he will give us an explanation!"
"Marshal, the enemy is right before our eyes, yet those civilian officials are still tripping me up at this time. I really want to kill them!"
"The issue of those scoundrels withholding our soldiers' salaries has not been resolved yet. Now that we are at the front line, we can't do anything to them."
"I thought they would unite at this time, but it seems we were too naive."
Abbott also became angry and slammed the table, saying, "Alright, no matter what, we must stand up. If we don't stand up, who else can stop the enemy!"
After this meeting concluded, Abbott immediately contacted Emperor Gedwen Neil.
After establishing the communication, Abbott said respectfully, "Emperor Gedwen Neil, when I set out, you promised me that all the equipment, salaries, supplies, and materials for the expedition would be handled by the most trusted people."
"But we have been at the front line for so long, and we are to face the enemy in a few days, yet our supplies are either half-missing or defective."
"Even the equipment is some obsolete gear. Emperor Gedwen Neil, I would like to ask you, how are we supposed to fight like this? Are we sending all our soldiers to their deaths?"
Gedwen Neil was also very shocked after hearing this and replied, "How is that possible? I did entrust this matter to my trusted brother, Gedwen Port, to handle."
Abbott was completely stunned after hearing this.
Emperor Gedwen Neil, don't you know that your brother is the most corrupt person in the entire Netherworld Dynasty?
Entrusting this matter to him to handle, isn't this going to lead to the entire Netherworld Dynasty being destroyed by his hands?
Abbott's face became increasingly grim. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was Emperor Gedwen Neil, Abbott would have probably killed someone.
