Chapter 983: Unstoppable
Sheela and this group of reincarnations can only be regarded as a small episode, which did not affect Noxus's continued advancement.
Then, the empire's weakness was reflected, and even many people could not imagine that the empire had become so weak!
As time went on, the empire gradually revealed its inherent fragility and decay.
Within the empire, the smell of corruption spread like a plague.
Those generals, wise men and counselors who had made great contributions to the empire were excluded and suppressed one by one, and their voices were drowned in endless flattery.
And those who relied on bribery and nepotism to get to the top, but they were like fish in water in this system. They occupied important positions, but they had no achievements. They only knew how to please their superiors and how to keep their positions.
Of course, it cannot be denied that among these people, perhaps one or two do have some ability.
However, in such an environment filled with insects and drunkards, their power seems so insignificant.
They cannot change the fundamentals of this system, and can only go with the flow or choose to remain silent.
Minister Ernest, as one of the core figures of the empire, his behavior has exacerbated the decline of the empire.
He does not care about the overall operation of the empire, but puts most of his energy on his own enjoyment.
He controls the killer organization of the empire and has absolute force.
In his eyes, as long as someone is obedient, it will be fine. As for their ability, character and contribution, they are not within his consideration.
This extreme management method has intensified the internal contradictions of the empire and scattered people's hearts.
In peacetime, it may be covered by the surface prosperity, like the tip of an iceberg, the part exposed above the water looks infinite, while the hugeness under the water is unknown.
Those insects, they are either greedy officials or incompetent generals. They are willing to sacrifice the interests of the entire empire for their own interests.
They pretend to maintain the operation of the empire and execute the orders of the ministers, but they have never really considered the empire in their hearts.
They only care about their own status, wealth and power, and are indifferent to the future of the empire and the welfare of the people.
However, when the real crisis came, the weakness and incompetence of these insects were exposed.
Their selfishness and short-sightedness made the empire powerless in the face of powerful enemies.
Those generals who rose to power through bribery did nothing on the battlefield. They only knew how to save their own lives, but knew nothing about how to lead soldiers to victory.
And those who were truly capable had lost their confidence and loyalty to the empire due to long-term suppression and exclusion.
They chose to remain silent or flee, and were no longer willing to work for this corrupt empire.
A powerful newly emerging country came over, with a strong and elite army and a wise and decisive leader.
They saw through the weakness and corruption of the empire and decided to give this once glorious empire a fatal blow.
Their army swept across the empire like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.
The empire's army retreated step by step in front of powerful enemies. They could not organize an effective counterattack and could only passively take the beating.
Although the assassin organization controlled by Minister Ernest can play a certain role at certain times, it cannot change the overall situation of the war.
Their actions often lack clear strategic goals and plans, and they just attack and kill blindly.
Such actions will only make the situation in the empire more chaotic and make the people more fearful and uneasy.
As the war continues, the internal contradictions of the empire are becoming more and more intensified.
Those people who were already dissatisfied began to rise up against those corrupt officials and generals.
They are no longer willing to endure this endless oppression and exploitation, and began to look for new ways out.
This makes Noxus even more unstoppable.
They saw the weakness and chaos of the empire, and also saw the dissatisfaction and resistance of the people.
They knew that the empire had lost the support of the people and could no longer effectively organize resistance.
So, they attacked the empire's territory more frantically, intending to defeat this once glorious empire in one fell swoop.
Chang Wei was not surprised by the empire's poor performance.
In fact, he had long seen through the corruption and darkness of the empire.
He knew that the empire had lost the support of the people and could no longer effectively organize resistance.
He also knew that the Revolutionary Army was able to succeed later, thanks to the Empire's poor performance.
Of course, there was also the reason that Esdeath's Northern Legion was held back by the northern foreigners they let in.
Now that the Empire's Northern Legion is gone, what else can the Empire use to resist the Noxian army?
Rely on other armies of the Empire?
Don't be ridiculous, that group of people is like an indescribable army in an unspeakable era, and can only fight favorable battles.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is their characteristic.
Once they encounter a real strong enemy, they will immediately collapse and cannot organize effective resistance.
As the iron hoof of Noxus approaches the border of the Empire, the whole country is shrouded in panic and despair.
Although the Imperial Army resisted, the long-term war consumption and the strong attack of the elite troops of Noxus made them gradually unable to do their best.
At this time, the Revolutionary Army, which was originally on the sidelines, also felt unprecedented pressure.
The Revolutionary Army originally thought that they could find their own opportunities in the chaos of the Empire.
However, the rise of Noxus broke their plan.
They knew that if Noxus really succeeded in defeating the Empire, they would also lose all the chaos and contradictions that could be used, and at that time, their own survival would become a problem.
So, the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army began to discuss countermeasures urgently. They understood that in order to survive in this war, they must take action to slow down the offensive of Noxus.
Only in this way can they buy breathing time for the Empire and more opportunities for themselves.
After a heated discussion, the Revolutionary Army decided to send elite troops to the front line to support the Empire's army.
However, when the elite troops of the Revolutionary Army arrived at the front line, they found that the situation was far worse than they had imagined.
The Empire's army had lost its combat effectiveness. They were exhausted and demoralized, and they could not organize an effective counterattack at all.
The Noxian army became more and more courageous. With their strong combat effectiveness and efficient command system, they continued to win on the battlefield.
In desperation, the leaders of the Revolutionary Army began to consider other countermeasures. They knew that in order to really slow down the offensive of Noxus, they had to take more extreme measures.
