The Tianwu Empire was in a state of disgrace after its defeat. When they first set out on the expedition, they had an army of 700,000 soldiers, but now they were left with only 400,000 or so defeated soldiers, and each of them was injured or bruised to varying degrees. It was a horrible sight!

In the Tianwu Empire Hall, Wu Anshan's face was gloomy and chilling. The ministers under the high platform were trembling with fear, and they were so silent that they didn't even dare to breathe, fearing that they would accidentally anger the emperor and bring about a disaster. At this moment, the whole hall was terribly quiet, and even the breathing of the people seemed to become much weaker.

"Crack~~~"

With a deafening roar, the armrest on the other side also broke apart under Wu Anshan's palm. This palm seemed to carry endless power, which made people shudder. The chair, which was already a little shaky, now looked even more shabby, as if it would fall apart at any time.

However, Wu Anshan didn't seem to care about these things. His eyes were like torches, staring closely at the ministers who bowed their heads and kept silent. That kind of indescribable majesty and anger made everyone present feel an invisible pressure.

At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with panic and fear. They did not dare to speak easily, for fear of angering the moody Emperor Tianwu. However, in this dead silence, a low and angry voice suddenly came:

"Who of you can give me an explanation... Who of you can give me an explanation..."

This voice broke the silence like thunder, echoing throughout the entire hall. Every word was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart, making them tremble involuntarily.

Everyone seemed to bow their heads even lower, and no one dared to speak, because they knew that the current situation was definitely not a good time to speak, and if they could not give the Tianwu Emperor a satisfactory answer, the consequences would be disastrous.

In this tense atmosphere, time seemed to freeze. No one dared to break the silence easily, because everyone was thinking about how to better protect themselves in this situation.

Everyone was silent, the whole scene was so quiet that one could even hear breathing and heartbeats. However, this scene deeply hurt Wu Anshan's heart, making his already depressed emotions even more turbulent.

The Emperor Tianwu was staring at a general on his right with a sharp gaze, and there was a sense of majesty in his eyes.

"Shen Cong, you speak!"

The emperor's voice suddenly exploded in the silent air like thunder, carrying unquestionable authority.

However, perhaps because the incident happened suddenly, the general named Shen Cong did not expect to be directly named by the emperor. His head trembled involuntarily. Then, he slowly raised his head, with an extremely ugly expression on his face. His lips trembled and he stammered:

"Your Majesty, I...I don't know...I am terrified...I am terrified..."

However, he really couldn't stand it and didn't want to see Shen Cong's bitter and resentful look anymore, and he didn't want to listen to him continue talking. Wu Anshan suddenly turned his head to the other side, and his eyes fell on a minister on the left.

At this moment, the face of the 'Tianwu' Emperor became increasingly gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.

"Li Fu, please tell me!"

The emperor's tone was harsher than before, full of oppression.

However, the minister named Li Fu seemed a little hesitant. He first raised his head carefully and secretly glanced at Wu Anshan sitting on the throne - the angry Emperor Tianwu. Then, an expression uglier than crying appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty... I am only a civil official. When it comes to military affairs, I really don't know..."

However, before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Wu Anshan.

"enough!"

Following this roar, the entire hall fell into a dead silence. Many ministers were terrified and hurriedly knelt on the ground, shouting in unison:

"Your Majesty, please calm down... Your Majesty, please calm down..."

Their voices were trembling, filled with fear and panic.

In this situation, Wu Anshan felt like his lungs were about to explode, but he couldn't help laughing. He stared at the many ministers kneeling below, his anger grew stronger, and his face flushed red.

"Each of you is a subject of my Tianwu! On one side are my military commanders, and on the other side are my civil officials... Hehe... This is really ridiculous!"

Wu Anshan's voice echoed in the hall, filled with endless anger and disappointment.

"Could it be... Could it be that our Tianwu Empire has no capable ministers to use? And no strong generals to employ?"

At this moment, he couldn't understand why the 'Tianwu' empire he built with his own hands would face such an embarrassing situation.

Is there really no wise minister who can shoulder the heavy responsibility?

Is there really no brave general who can charge into battle?

The more Wu Anshan thought about it, the more disheartened he felt, as if the entire Demon Fighting Continent was against him.
