After exchanging glances, they all nodded in agreement, reaching a tacit understanding: to remain silent and let Sean speak. After all, he was the one who started the conversation, and if they picked up the thread and something went wrong, they would have to take the blame.
Thus, their presence was felt throughout the entire hall simply through their eyes.
Everyone fell silent. The entire hall was quiet, and no one uttered a sound. Sean looked at everyone for a long time before finally sighing.
"The reason I was unwilling to relinquish my power before was because I was worried that some of you would become as greedy as those in human society and destroy the foundation we have built."
But now I feel I overthought things. I can't possibly handle so much on my own. And some of you don't even think things through, reporting things that don't need to be reported, which caused us to miss many opportunities, like this time!
The general, who had just been scolded, lowered his head and dared not utter a sound.
People around him turned to look at him, and he could feel the pity in their eyes. He knew he hadn't done anything wrong this time, but Sean had made an example of him.
Sean then continued.
"So after thinking about your previous suggestions, I decided to adopt this proposal so that each department can perform its own duties and report your important information to me every day for me to review and approve."
If there are any mistakes, I will correct them promptly. From now on, except for matters involving war, necessary diplomacy, and large-scale events that require your reporting, you will make your own decisions on all other matters!
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene erupted in an uproar.
Everyone looked at him with disbelief, as if this had gone against normal desires.
Seeing the blank looks in everyone's eyes, Sean knew they might not be able to accept it for a while.
So he waved his hand.
"Alright, you may not be used to it yet, but from now on you need to continue to adapt. Also, our territory has been attacked, we can't just sit and wait to die! We must make our own effective counterattack."
We have just received information that Lu Yuan's main base may be very vulnerable. You should immediately dispatch elite troops to attack their main base.
This way, Lu Yuan won't have time to attend to other matters, allowing us to withdraw our troops and protect our strongholds. Alright, now you can arrange the plan yourselves, people of the War Department, don't disappoint me again!
After Sean finished speaking, he left the meeting room, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
They had no idea what was wrong with Sean today or what had gotten into him; his sudden announcement had become a taboo subject for them.
Then everyone left one after another, and then privately gathered together to discuss what to do next.
"Do you think His Majesty is really going to do this this time? Judging from his tone just now, it seemed like he was serious. Could he be trying to fool us?"
"I think we should be careful. What if he's picking on one of us? We should just act the same as before, and at most get a little scolded but think it's no big deal!"
"Yes, yes, it's better to be cautious. What if they suddenly change their mind one day? If we act on our own and they strip us of our clothes, that would be troublesome!"
Some people felt they were quite lucky, while others felt they weren't. With their own ulterior motives, they left the gathering place.
The people in the War Department are in real trouble now. Without Sean's command, they are like headless flies. Several high-ranking officers in the command center are sitting in their chairs, scratching their heads in frustration.
"What should we do? His Majesty has ordered us to attack Lu Yuan's main camp, but we have no experience with our equipment, weapons, or other things. How are we supposed to fight them?"
"What I said makes sense. We have absolutely no combat experience. If we were to fight against Lu Yuan's regular army, forget about it. All we'd get is death. And if another attack comes, none of us will escape!"
"How about we just surrender and admit defeat? I think since we can't win anyway, we might as well preserve some of our resources. Maybe Lu Yuan will leave us a way out!"
Everyone was staring at the ape leader sitting at the head of the table.
He is the commander-in-chief and the highest-ranking official in the entire region, and he doesn't know what to do now.
Sean's sudden move caught him completely off guard.
He has absolutely no combat experience now. He relied on giving gifts and flattering people from beginning to end to become the commander-in-chief. Now, if you ask him to fight a war, how could he possibly fight like that?
I felt a little embarrassed seeing everyone staring at me. If I revealed my secret at this moment, my clothes might be stripped off the next day.
After pondering this for a moment, he asked the crowd.
"Does anyone have any good ideas? Feel free to share them so we can discuss them together!"
Upon hearing his words, his men all revealed a strange smile.
He saw it and naturally understood what everyone meant, so he gave an awkward smile.
"Ahem, I'm anxious too. I'm under a lot of pressure to complete this mission. Don't worry about me, if I get to eat braised pork this time, I promise you won't go hungry."
You can rest assured, we're all in this together this time! If you hadn't helped me, we'd all be in trouble!
