Douluo: Strange Fire Martial Spirit, starting with a hundred thousand year soul ring - Chapter 418
c417 The Eighth Test of the Evil Rakshasa
Of course Ge Long would have no objection. Even if Han Yu talked about the strategy in a grand way, actually executing it was another matter.
He would agree, largely because Han Yu did not let these people go to war. Just gather them all at Jialing Pass.
In the event of a real war, all the half a million troops must be deployed by him. That being the case, there is certainly no need for him to object.
Besides, the overall quality of the Star Luo Empire’s army was already stronger than that of the Tiandou Empire. At this time, he knew in his heart that it would be difficult to resist the enemy’s invasion. But the purpose of leading troops to resist the invasion was simply to boost the morale of the people and the military of the Tiandou Empire.
Since the intervening method proposed by Han Yu can achieve certain results, they naturally have an explanation to the people, and this is enough.
After the court meeting, the thoughts of these ministers began to become active.
Originally, they had transferred part of their property to Canaan City. Now, they are already thinking about whether they should take refuge in Wuhun City or Canaan City if the Tiandou Empire is defeated.
After all, there are titled Douluo in these two cities, and the Star Luo Empire will most likely not fight with them. It’s just that Canaan City is closer to them, and because they previously purchased real estate in Canaan City, they are more inclined to go to Han Yu.
You must know that the Tiandou Empire’s military strength is already weak. If Jialing Pass is lost, the entire empire will be in danger.
Han Yu saw their lack of confidence. But it didn’t matter to him. It is easy for the Star Luo Empire to achieve short-term victory, but it is absolutely impossible to annex the Tiandou Empire.
Based on the forces of Haotian Sect and Huxin Island, they are not qualified.
Currently, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Dazhi have all completed the eighth test. As for the ninth assessment, you have to wait until level ninety-nine.
In this case, Han Yu sent Zhu Dazhi and three others to the Balak Kingdom to help them resist the Star Luo Empire’s offensive.
As an important part of the plan, the Kingdom of Barak must not fall. Besides, the Balak Kingdom is also very close to Wuhun City. Once the Balak Kingdom falls, the Star Luo Empire’s army can directly attack Wuhun City.
The flames of war have reached our doorstep, and Wuhun Palace will definitely declare war on the Star Luo Empire. This is definitely detrimental to Tang Xiao. Therefore, before Tang San became a god, they would not have been so stupid. At most, they would send troops to contain the Barak Kingdom to prevent them from rushing to the main battlefield.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, Tian Yue and Dugu Yan, Han Yu arranged for them to harass the supply lines of Xingluo soldiers behind enemy lines to delay their attack.
After the eighth test was completed, Golden Crocodile Douluo had returned to Wuhun City. And the three of them have now broken through to the Title Douluo level, and there is absolutely no problem with their own safety.
Early the next morning, several major sects in the Star Luo Empire jointly issued a statement.
The Fire Leopard Sect, Wind Sword Sect, Rock Antelope Sect, Bird Bee Sect and Holy Dragon Sect will not support the Star Luo Empire’s unjust war. They even publicly announced that they would support the Tiandou Empire.
These guys are originally the lackeys of Wuhun Palace. It certainly comes as no surprise that they would make such a statement.
But after hearing the news, Dai Mubai and Tang San were furious, and Sea Dragon Douluo and Bo Saixi immediately went to suppress the five major sects.
Unfortunately, when the two of them arrived at the Holy Dragon Sect, the sect’s headquarters was already empty.
Tuoba Xi had already led his tribe to Wuhun City, and the same was true for the other sects.
“How is this possible? There must be old, weak, sick and disabled people in their sect. It is impossible for them to evacuate so quickly.” Dai Mubai was dumbfounded.
These five sects alone would not make much of a splash, but they all jumped out to oppose the Star Luo Empire. The soul master army formed by the five sects will definitely consume a large amount of the Star Luo Empire’s troops.
When the time comes, the Tiandou Empire will take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and the Star Luo Empire will take the lead? There is no telling whether the Star Luo Empire will really fail in this war.
As the initiator of the war, Dai Mubai will definitely be liquidated afterwards.
“Mubai, how unbecoming is it to be in such a hurry!” Tang San reminded him.
Of course Dai Mubai didn’t dare to break up with Tang San. After he calmed down, he asked: “Xiao San, what can you do?”
Tang San smiled and said, “Mubai, don’t forget. These sects are the lackeys of Wuhun Palace. Now that Wuhun Palace has not declared war on us, how can we let go of the leash and let these five sects fight with us?” Can’t we get through?”
“Besides, our battle line is far away from Wuhun City. They can never travel such a long way to specifically make enemies of us. As long as we fight to death and do not declare war, Wuhun Palace will take into account the pressure of public opinion and will never cause trouble for us. Do you think there is any need to be afraid of them now?”
Hearing this, Dai Mubai suddenly realized.
Yes, Wuhun City is far away from the battle line. Sending people to join the war is just a disguised declaration of war. And they have always portrayed themselves as a peace-loving force. Isn’t this behavior a slap in their face?
Before they could discuss it further, the voice in their heads diverted their attention.
“The eighth Rakshasa test (the top eighth test), establish a Rakshasa secret realm and offer the blood of 10,000 people! The test lasts for one year. If the test is successful, the reward will be a five-level increase in soul power and a hundred percent increase in Rakshasa affinity. Twenty. Failure in assessment, death!”
Hearing the long-lost voice, Tang San and the others showed smiles on their faces.
“Haha, mistress, it seems I will be busy next time.” Dai Mubai laughed.
This is his final test. Once completed, his strength will increase a lot.
Tang San originally wanted to build the Raksha Secret Realm in the Tang Sect, but on second thought, it seemed a little unrealistic.
The location of the Tang Sect is too far from Xingluo City, and the blood of 10,000 people is not easy to get.
And in Xingluo City, it is very simple to capture 10,000 people.
Because Dai Mubai’s rash behavior of starting a war made many ministers dissatisfied with him. Capturing these people will undoubtedly make Dai Mubai’s next decision less resistant. It can also help them complete the God Test, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Since these guys don’t listen to orders, just hand over your life obediently.
The reward after the God Test is not cheap. Tang San is confident that he can quickly break through the Titled Douluo, so as to gain enough advantages in the war.
“Xiao San, my God Test is to help you build the Raksha Secret Realm. Why don’t you build the secret realm in the Sky Prison. The criminals and guards imprisoned there will be a gift to Senior Raksha God.” Dai Mubai suggested.
Dai Mubai was very dissatisfied with the group of guards in the Sky Prison. Especially, Davis escaped from prison right under their noses.
Squeezing the last drop of value out of these good-for-nothings would be worth the salary the empire has paid them over the years.
Tang San did not object, but building the Rakshasa Secret Realm would require the use of his divine power, and he did not want the affairs of the gods to be known by outsiders.
This was too easy for Dai Mubai. He just drove all the criminals and guards at the bottom of the Heavenly Prison to the upper level and ordered them to go down to the lower level.
…
The joint statement of the five major sects continued to ferment, and the people of the Xingluo Empire could not help but doubt Dai Mubai’s decision.
If it was just to seek justice, then it would be enough to capture one or two cities on the border of the Tiandou Empire and force Xue Qinghe to stop being annoyed. Why should we keep attacking?
Moreover, there were conscription notices everywhere in the Xingluo Empire, and it was obvious that the war was going to be carried out to the end.
War was not good for civilians. Even if the wealth was pulled back from the occupied areas, it would only go into the pockets of the nobles and had nothing to do with the civilians. For a time, Dai Mubai’s reputation dropped to the lowest point, and he even wanted to send troops to arrest all those who spread rumors.
Tang Xiao realized that something was wrong and hurried to the palace.
At this time, Tang San was busy building the Rakshasa Secret Realm and had no time to give Dai Mubai advice. Dai Mubai and the four elders who stayed in the palace did not understand politics and could not handle it at all.
Running back and forth made Tang Xiao extremely disappointed with Dai Mubai. Even if he was a puppet emperor, he couldn’t always think of using force to solve problems, right?
Now, the front line of the Xingluo Empire has been in need of reinforcements, and the rear has to waste troops to fight against civilians. Isn’t this a problem? Moreover, if the army suppresses civilians, once public opinion spreads, countless uprisings will break out in the Xingluo Empire.
By then, let alone fighting against the Tiandou Empire, I’m afraid Dai Mubai’s position will be overthrown.
Tang Xiao’s face was extremely ugly. He angrily shouted: “Dai Mubai, if you want to lose the throne, you do this. And the fourth elder, can you use your brains? We have captured so many cities on the front line, but you are suppressing them and thinking about confronting the people. Do you want to die?”
Even as strong as the Haotian Sect, they have to admit the power of civilians.
Civilians account for more than 90% of the empire’s population and are an important part of the army. If they are offended to death, let alone the army has no combat effectiveness, what can the remaining less than 10% of the noble population use to compete with civilians?
Now the court is in panic, who dares to give Dai Mubai advice now. For these difficult problems, Dai Mubai can only put his hopes on Tang Xiao.
But he did not hear the meaning of Tang Xiao’s words, but asked: “Master Tang, how should this matter be resolved? I will listen to your arrangement.”
Tang Xiao’s eyelids jumped. Didn’t he say it very clearly just now?
Diverting attention and drawing cakes!
So many cities have been captured on the front line. Will these cities not need to be inhabited in the future? Inform the civilians in the empire of the victory and say that these conquered cities can be occupied by them unconditionally in the future. Isn’t that enough!
Tang Xiao was too lazy to play dumb and directly told his arrangements.
He now doubted whether it was really the right choice to support Dai Mubai to take the position. This guy is a complete political novice. While he knows nothing, he is still thinking about those tricks. He might as well tie a dog. At least, dogs don’t give orders at will.
Tang Xiao now only hopes that Dai Mubai will get out as soon as possible and let Tang San take his place.
Speaking of Tang San, he remembered that Tang San did not show up.
He asked Tang San to stay in Xingluo City before to prevent Dai Mubai from giving bad ideas and disrupting his plans. Why didn’t Tang San give Dai Mubai advice on such a major event these days, but Dai Mubai called him back instead.
“Mubai, where is Xiao San?”
Dai Mubai had just finished instructing his attendants to arrange Tang Xiao’s actions, and then he ran over in a hurry.
“Master Tang, Xiao San and I both have new divine tests. Currently, Xiao San is in the basement of the Heavenly Prison, busy with the content of the divine test. Otherwise, I would not have transferred you back from Tiger Roar Pass.”
Hearing the divine test, Tang Xiao’s face finally looked better. At this stage, Tang San’s divine test is indeed a top priority. Only when Tang San becomes a god, they have a chance to defeat the Spirit Hall.
This matter cannot be sloppy.
“Okay, Mu Bai, let’s arrange it this way. Fourth Elder, you come with me to the front line. The rear of the empire is absolutely safe at the moment. We still need your help on the front line.” Seeing that the fourth elder was ineffective, Tang Xiao would not let him stay at ease.
Although the fourth elder did not get along with Tang Xiao, there were no other elders here at the moment, and his voice alone was not enough to make Tang Xiao change his mind.
…
The war on the front line of the Xingluo Empire was indeed very clear.
Along the way, there were very few soldiers guarding the city of the Tiandou Empire. Basically, they surrendered after fighting for a few days.
When they arrived at Izumo City, they encountered a large-scale resistance.
Han Yu certainly knew that if they pushed too smoothly all the way, they would inevitably become suspicious. Maybe in order to consolidate the supply line, they would choose to stay in the occupied city.
In this way, the Tiandou Empire would appear passive.
Let them tighten their nerves from time to time and tell them that the Xingluo Empire has not given up resistance, so that they will fall into the trap.
With the continuous accumulation of military exploits, Ge Hang now has 10,000 soldiers under his command. However, the production of Tangmen hidden weapons cannot keep up with the speed of replenishment of troops, so the newly arrived 5,000 soldiers did not receive hidden weapons.
These days, Feng Xiaotian has been trying to find out about the forces of Huxin Island, but to no avail. At least, there are no people from Huxin Island in the army he is in now.
This is not surprising, because most of the people on Huxin Island are soul masters. Now that the war is so easy to fight, it is not a good time for them to enter.
“Arthur, you have the least experience, so stay behind. I will leave you a thousand soldiers. If anyone dares to attack our supply line, kill them without mercy.” Ge Hang arranged.
In Izumo City, according to the intelligence they have obtained, there are at least 30,000 defenders here. Moreover, this is also a big city. They can’t take it down with only 10,000 troops. Therefore, there are still 70,000 troops who will attack the city with them from other gates of Izumo City.
Feng Xiaotian was not active in the war. Ge Hang, who valued talents, thought that this was his first time to participate in the war and his mentality had not yet adjusted.
Behind them were the troops of the Xingluo Empire. It was unrealistic for the Tiandou Empire’s army to cut off their food supplies. Let Feng Xiaotian guard the rear, trust him, and when the city was broken, he could get some benefits by virtue of his contribution.
Although Ge Hang was a bloodthirsty person, he was still good to the people around him.
Feng Xiaotian did not refuse. If it were not for Han Yu’s arrangement, he would have gone to help the Tiandou Empire defend the city. (End of this chapter)
