General Bud did not blame them in his heart. These people only chose to be responsible for their families and were by no means cowardly.
The soldiers he brought with him were all loyal and brave men who had fought in the battlefield with him. They were completely different from the guerrillas under Minister Ernest who took positions for money.
The soldiers under his command are actually the last backbone of the empire.
The reason why the child emperor was able to maintain the aging empire after he came to power was because of the support of General Bud.
As a military officer, he also sheltered many upright officials under Minister Ernest. It can be said that his existence is indispensable for the empire to survive to this day.
Not even Esdeath, the sharp sword of the empire, can replace him.
After all, Esdeath is from Minister Ernest's faction. All she does is to fight on the battlefield and ravage foreign enemies. Internally, she eliminates dissidents and appoints people based on personal connections.
Esdeath does not have an upright heart, she is just a beast that lives by instinct. Minister Ernest provides her with a battlefield suitable for her, and she descends on the battlefield, that's all.
So the empire could do without her.
But he, Bud, gave everything for the empire, including the iron army in front of him that was still full of fighting spirit in the face of a dead end. This army in front of him was a microcosm of his life.
Not afraid of strong enemies, not afraid of life or death.
So he dared to reveal the fact that Moyin had once defeated Esdeath.
This put these soldiers in a desperate situation.
As the saying goes, an army that mourns will eventually be defeated. As his opponent, Moyin is too powerful. He can only use all means to stimulate the fighting power of his soldiers.
After those soldiers who were responsible for their families left, General Bud waved his right hand, and his energy sank into his dantian, with a sound like thunder in a drought.
"Let's go!"
Then General Bud waved his cloak and led 50,000 troops out of the camp with a determination to die.
Chapter 1016 Death is not the end
"Hehehe, interesting. What a sad atmosphere. Moyin, it seems that they are coming for you."
UMP45 finished her meal and spoke.
"The momentum is quite good."
Moyin commented.
Even from more than ten kilometers away, he could feel the tragic atmosphere of the soldiers led by General Bud. In another sense, the awareness of these soldiers was not much worse than that of his fanatics.
Of course, it's not enough to exceed that. After all, the fanatics brought by Elena would feel honored to die for him. On the one hand, there is the BUFF of the decisive battle, and on the other hand, there is the BUFF of normal maintenance.
"Want me to clean them up?"
UMP45 asked.
"Don't do anything unromantic. Since they are here to see me, I should be the one to greet them. This is a sign of respect for them."
Moyin patted UMP45's shoulder, then left his seat and walked to the center of the street.
At this time, as if they had sensed that war was about to break out, the people in the imperial capital hurriedly left the area where Moyin was.
As the frequency of the earth shaking gradually intensified, finally the 50,000 troops led by Bud appeared in front of Moyin in uniform steps.
"Are you Mo Yin?"
Standing in front of the army, the burly General Budd, who was as tall as a Shura, shouted at Moyin with extremely fierce momentum.
"It's me. Who are you? Tell me your name."
Moyin nodded and gave the order with a serious face.
"General Budd! I have come to fight against you traitors! If you can change your mind and serve the Empire, I believe that the benevolent Majesty will pardon your crimes!"
"But if you resist stubbornly, we will kill you here even if we have to fight to the last man and our swords are shattered!"
Bud shouted loudly. He could feel that Moyin was very strong, extremely strong, and he felt that he had no chance of winning at all. But even so, he would not back down.
If he could convince Moyin to work for the empire, that would be the best, but... if he couldn't, then he would do everything he could to stop Moyin here, so that the child emperor wouldn't have to activate the highest imperial weapon, the national guardian device.
"Kill me? Judge me? As mortals, you want to judge me as a god. Aren't you a little too ignorant of your own highness?"
Moyin sneered, then unlocked the first layer of the sealing agreement. The surging aura immediately enveloped the entire planet. This was his respect for these soldiers and for Bud's determination to die.
Facing Moyin whose aura had surged tenfold, Bud did not speak, nor did he retreat. Like him, none of the soldiers behind him retreated either. They just faced the enemy in front of them, who seemed invincible no matter what.
"Bud, let me ask you, what is the meaning of your being here?"
Moyin questioned Budd in an unquestionable tone.
"Serve the country with all my heart and soul! I will execute all the traitors in the empire. Even if our opponents are gods, we will not be afraid at all!"
General Budd answered.
"Have you seen the poor people in the slums who sold their children to survive? Have you seen the poor women in the red-light district who were deceived by a few gold coins and were controlled by drugs? Have you seen the warehouse full of tortured bodies piled up by the richest man in the imperial capital to satisfy his own selfish desires?"
Moyin asked again.
"I've seen it."
General Bud replied calmly.
"Then why did you turn a blind eye?"
"Family motto, warriors must not do what is right. We are the walls of the imperial capital that exist to protect the imperial capital. In order to protect the royal family, we are willing to sacrifice our lives and fight to the death! This is my loyalty as a military commander."
"I know the imperial capital is already aging, but as a general, I can only suppress the rebels in the imperial capital and maintain the law and order of the imperial capital as a general. The empire cannot die by remonstrance, so at least I must die by fighting!"
General Bud opened his mouth and shouted.
"Foolish loyalty, if you had beheaded Minister Ernest earlier, would the imperial capital be in this state now?"
Moyin asked with a sneer.
"When I found out, it was too late. The administrators of all regions were basically all people under Minister Ernest. When he was still alive, these people would obey him and live under the management of His Majesty."
"When I execute him, His Majesty will surely be furious and sentence me to death. By then, the only one left in the imperial capital will be Esdeath, a beast who lives by her instincts and does whatever she wants. In that case, the empire will surely collapse within a year."
"All I can do is to maintain the empire's precarious status quo, that's all!"
General Bud said sadly.
As the most loyal minister of the imperial capital, didn't he want to change the dark status quo of the imperial capital?
But he was powerless.
As the one who deceived the late emperor, Minister Ernest has already taken deep root in the entire imperial capital.
As a warrior, his martial arts skills are among the best in the empire, but in contrast, Minister Ernest's scheming is among the best in the empire.
Since the child emperor had sealed his martial arts skills, he could not defeat Minister Ernest, so he could only choose to tolerate him, using his own power to protect some conscientious civil servants and continue the rule of the empire as much as possible.
"I can see that you are a loyal person. I will give you a chance now. Bring your people to become my believers, and I will give you a clean imperial capital."
Moyin invited Budd. He didn't dislike such a loyal and courageous person.
"If you can be of use to His Majesty the Emperor, we are willing to serve you until our death."
Budd answered.
"You are so arrogant. Do you really think that your worth is enough to make a god like me serve that stupid emperor?"
Moyin couldn't help but laugh at Bud's request. If he was given some face, he would go to the table.
"Then the only person we serve is His Majesty the Emperor."
General Budde began to break up with Moyin.
"Well, since you want to be loyal, then I will give all of you a chance to be loyal and filial to the emperor."
Moyin snapped his fingers, and the surrounding streets suddenly disappeared, eventually forming a vast and flat ancient battlefield.
Eve and the others who were eating at the table were transferred to the sky behind Moyin, separated from the lower level by a transparent floor formed by a layer of wave force. The women were in the spectator seats.
"Come on, arrange your troops. Since you are seeking death, I will personally send you off. This will be a reward for you, the backbone of the empire."
"I am the Blood God Moyin! Feel honored that you can die under my sword!"
Moyin condensed two blood blades in his hands, with the tips of the blades pointing directly at General Budd, declaring war.
"All! Troops! Line! Up!!!"
General Bud shouted loudly, and the 50,000 troops behind him, who were constrained by the width of the street, quickly lined up in a row and formed a charging formation.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity to be loyal to you."
General Bud opened his mouth and thanked Moyin.
If they fought in the previous venue, there would be at most ten people on their side who could fight Moyin, and they would not be able to play the advantage of fighting in a large army at all. But now, the ancient battlefield transformed by Moyin's divine power obviously gave them a once-and-for-all chance to fight Moyin to the death. Naturally, he had to say thank you.
"It is your own loyalty that has earned my respect, that's all."
Moyin shook his head and replied indifferently.
Bud said no more, but activated his imperial weapon, Thundergod's Wrath Yadmiller, and began to gather a large amount of thunder power into his whole body.
Facing Moyin, who was a god, he knew that he only had the strength of his own, so he had to gather all his strength into the first strike, and once he made a move, he would go all out.
As if sensing Bud's fanatical fighting spirit, the Imperial Weapon Thundergod's Wrath Admiral also began to overclock its power, and cracks appeared on Thundergod's Wrath. Obviously, after this blow, the Imperial Weapon would be completely destroyed, but Bud no longer cared about so much at this time.
Half an hour later, when the entire army was lined up in an orderly manner to face Moyin, Bud, who was in front of the army, had turned into a huge ball of lightning. The lightning arcs flashing all over his body even made it impossible for the soldiers behind him to see his figure.
"charge!!!!"
Along with General Bud's roar, the huge thunder ball rushed towards Moyin first. At the same time, Moyin also moved in an instant.
A sharp blood blade easily pierced through the thunder ball transformed by General Bud, and the thunder and lightning surrounding General Bud instantly bombarded Moyin.
General Bud, who was cut in half by the bloody blade, fell face down on the battlefield. No matter what, he had just launched the strongest attack of his life and now he could die with a smile on his face.
However, Moyin, who was hit by the force of lightning, did not suffer the slightest harm... After all, he possessed the godhood of thunder, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was the walking source of thunder. The attack that Bud had condensed with all his strength could be instantly absorbed by him as his own energy.
But even when they saw that Moyin was unharmed, Bud's soldiers did not feel afraid. Instead, they waved their weapons and rushed towards Moyin frantically.
Looking at the approaching army, Moyin's eyes flashed with a cold light and he charged into the growing army with a bloody blade in hand.
Wherever the bloody blade passed, the soldiers who fought desperately fell down one after another, one, two, three... ten, a hundred, and countless broken limbs fell at Moyin's feet. But even if only a head was left, these soldiers kept struggling and tried to bite Moyin's shoes to inflict certain injuries on Moyin.
Facing the swords, spears, knives and axes appearing from all directions, Moyin did not avoid or give way. He swung the bloody blade in his hand in an extremely violent manner to cut them off and fought with the soldiers.
He did not use any large-scale killing skills of the blood and energy system to kill these soldiers instantly. Even the power of blood and energy was only condensed into two blood blades and then not used again.
