Chapter 370 Public Opinion and Military Unrest

Juzi wanted to block the news because she understood the seriousness of the matter. But she could take this into consideration, and so could others.

In the tent, Mu Ran gave Tang Men another task.

"What mission?" Tang Wutong couldn't wait to ask. She had a lot of fun last night, and she wanted to do more things.

Mu Ran smiled: "Create public opinion!" Seeing that the others didn't quite understand, he continued to explain: "Now, whether Juzi believes it was done by the evil spirit master or not, we have to make the ordinary people of the Sun Moon Empire believe it."

Bei Bei suddenly realized: "At this point, it doesn't matter whether the Queen believes it or not. Her current position as Marshal is not stable. After we create public opinion, her situation will definitely become more difficult. It would be even worse if it caused turmoil in the military."

"That's right." Mu Ran nodded approvingly.

"Let's start from the border city. Two beast king-level soul guide groups were annihilated by evil soul masters. Juzi, as the marshal, did not seek revenge on the evil soul masters. The emperor has passed away, and the queen is inactive. Beauty is a disaster. Have you heard of the army's sorrow?"

Soon, the Tang Clan took action.

Public opinion is different from a real war, but it is also a battle. Those who lose public opinion will be drowned in insults and scorn. The outcome of this battle will soon be known.

A few days later, the words "The Emperor has passed away, but the Empress is incompetent. Beauty is the root of trouble, how many times have the army been saddened?" had spread to most of the Sun and Moon Empire. Most people were condemning Juzi, and several small riots had already broken out in the army.

Some people even said that women should not be allowed to lead the army in the first place, because they were not courageous and were timid. The people did not know the deployment of troops and the details of tactics. They only knew that their empire had lost two powerful legions and that their marshal was a coward!

In the military tent, Ye Yulin reported the situation to Juzi.

"I have resolved the unrest in the army today. The army's morale has been unstable recently and is not suitable for fighting."

"How did the news get out?" Orange's voice was cold.

Ye Yulin shook his head: "I heard that it first came from a small village closest to the battlefield. I went to look for him, but he was already dead."

"Oh! Conspiracy." Ju Zi said that this was a conspiracy of the three empires, but she was still sad in her heart. She had done so many things for the Sun Moon Empire before, and made so many contributions, but she was criticized just for temporarily hiding from the limelight this time.

They forgot, they forgot what happened before. Just one denial would send her to hell. The human heart cannot be warmed after all.

Orange's eyes were filled with sadness. She didn't speak, but the sorrow on her face made people feel heartbroken.

Ye Yulin sighed. At this time, he couldn't do anything to persuade him. He could only help deal with some things, and hoped that the marshal could put aside these troubles by himself.

"Get out of the way, let me in, everyone, get out of the way!" Several loud shouts came from outside the tent.

Juzi frowned: "Who is making noise outside?"

Just as Ye Yulin was about to go outside to take a look, the tent was suddenly opened and a middle-aged man broke in.

The man has an ordinary face, a resolute expression, and a righteous look. He looks like a man who has been trained and battle-hardened for a long time.

Orange knows him, Du Qiao.

Du Qiao used to be the deputy leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group and a very close subordinate of Xu Tianyuan. Later, he was assigned to take charge of the Thirteenth Army and is now the commander of the Thirteenth Army.

Since the Thirteenth Army was taken over by Du Qiao, it has gradually become a vassal of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group, or in other words, a supporter of Xu Tianyuan.

The Thirteenth Army will not obey all orders directly from the military headquarters, but it will definitely follow Xu Tianyuan's opinions.

When Xu Tianran was still here, they were more restrained and didn't do anything excessive. After Xu Tianran left, the Thirteenth Army and the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group became like a family.

For this raid, Juzi clearly did not dispatch the Thirteenth Army, but the Thirteenth Army abandoned its garrison in Mingdu and followed.

After the Emperor Dragon Soul Mentor Group was wiped out, the Thirteenth Army's base had been in turmoil several times, all of which were suppressed by Ye Yulin. Now he really couldn't bear it anymore, and Du Qiao actually ran over in person.

Du Qiao snorted coldly and saluted reluctantly: "Commander Du Qiao of the Thirteenth Army has met the Queen."

Du Qiao said the last four words with special emphasis, as if he was deliberately reminding Orange of something.

"Commander Du, do you know what crime you committed by breaking into the marshal's tent without informing him?"

Du Qiao raised his eyelids and glanced at Ju Zi. Ju Zi clearly saw the mockery and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Captain Xu died for his country. I will never let those evil soul masters go. Queen, please release the defense line near the Mingdou Mountains."

"No." Ye Yulin blocked her way. "The left line of defense has been destroyed. If you now ask to release the right line of defense, wouldn't that open the door wide? As the leader of an army, how can you be so careless?"

"General Ye, it is precisely because I am the head of an army that I have to do this. I received favors from Captain Xu in the past, but now Captain Xu has died at the hands of an evil soul master. How can my brothers and I feel at ease hiding in this small place? If the left line of defense was not too far away, I would have taken the Thirteenth Army away long ago!" Du Qiao spoke in a loud voice, and his words were unpleasant to the ear.

"You are so presumptuous. You shouldn't have led the Thirteenth Army to evacuate Mingdu before. I didn't punish you for the sake of Captain Xu. Now you are still thinking of taking the Thirteenth Army out privately. It's simply wishful thinking." Ju Zi suppressed her anger, but in fact she wanted to slap Du Qiao. Du Qiao was just an idiot. If he led the Thirteenth Army to find that group of evil soul masters, he would definitely end up being annihilated. But he just didn't believe in evil.

"When it comes to delusions, I can't compare to the Queen. Now that Captain Xu is dead, doesn't it just satisfy the Queen's delusion?" Du Qiao spoke without thinking.

"Shut up! Marshal, please don't forget this. Du Qiao, how could you commit such a crime?"

"I am committing insubordination?" Du Qiao slammed the table. "With Captain Xu dead, there is no one to threaten her position, isn't that right? Not only do we in the Sun Moon Empire let a woman be the marshal, but we also found a woman whose home country is the Xing Luo Empire. Aren't you afraid that she will betray you?"

As soon as Du Qiao finished speaking, he saw nine soul rings shining before his eyes, followed by a flash of white light, and he was slapped hard in the face.

With Du Qiao's eight-ring Soul Douluo's strength, there was no way to avoid it. He fell directly to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"I'm angry out of shame, haha! No matter what, our Thirteenth Army will never obey orders. If you want to fight, go fight on your own. I won't play with you anymore!"

"Come here, take Du Qiao to the prison."

Du Qiao was dragged away, and Ju Zi said with a sullen face: "Send people to the Thirteenth Army immediately. If they rebel, suppress them directly by force. There is no need to show mercy."

Violent means can frighten people and make them feel cold, but they are very effective. At this moment, Orange had to resort to violence. If the Thirteenth Army really went crazy and went to the right defense line, and the garrison did not let them out, they would fight each other sooner or later.
