Star Luo Battlefield
Inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Star Luo Emperor Dai Feng looked at the military reports sent from the front lines with a worried expression.
Faced with the militarily powerful Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Hall dispatched four Titled Douluo, each leading a legion of Soul Master to launch an attack.
The disparity in strength among Soul Master caused the Star Luo Empire's army to suffer repeated defeats, forcing them to retreat to Tianxing City.
The city was defended, and with the support of the Dai family's title and the two couples who could perform the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Technique, the situation on the front line was barely stabilized.
"Your Majesty, the letter requesting assistance has been delivered to all the major sects and families within the empire, and the White Tiger Legion in Star Luo City has also completed its assembly."
A cold, yet ruthless voice rang out as Star Luo Empress walked in from outside the door.
She was no longer wearing the gorgeous court attire of the past, but rather the traditional Soul Master's outfit that she hadn't worn in a long time.
"Okay, has that matter been communicated?"
"I have notified them that the generals under my Dai Family will be on guard against those high-level Soul Master and generals who are of commoner origin, and will not allow them to have the opportunity to betray my Star Luo Empire."
Dai Feng nodded in satisfaction. It wasn't that he wanted to doubt his subordinates; it was simply that the Spirit Hall held too much prestige among commoner Soul Master.
The mere fact that a free Martial Soul Awakening can win over countless people's hearts is enough, not to mention that after becoming Soul Master, one can also receive subsidies from the Spirit Hall.
Although the subsidies were jointly funded by the Two Great Empires and the Spirit Hall, the Soul Master received them from the Spirit Hall, so they would naturally remember the Spirit Hall's kindness.
Setting down the military report in his hand, Emperor Dai Feng rose from his throne and, with the help of Empress Zhu Lin, put on his armor.
The Star Luo Empire lacks elite combat power, and it is time for him, the emperor, to go to the battlefield.
He strode towards the door, then suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something, and turned back to look at his wife.
"Zhu Lin, is there any news from Mu Bai?"
"Don't worry, Mu Bai is very safe at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Weisi will also stay in Star Luo City to oversee the country. My father will protect him."
"Okay, that's good."
Zhu Lin stood beside Dai Feng, the emperor and Empress of the Star Luo Empire, leading the White Tiger Legion toward the front lines.
The Spirit Hall is incredibly powerful, and it's uncertain whether they'll be able to return. They've done their best to make all the necessary arrangements; the rest is up to fate.
Meanwhile, Xu Mingxi led the Star Crown Sect's team to Tianxing City.
On the night of their arrival, Xu Mingxi led the Sect Master in a surprise attack on the Spirit Hall's camp, attempting to kill Hu Yanzhen and the others, thus weakening the Spirit Hall's strength.
Unexpectedly, the Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Mighty Lion Douluo, and Light Feather Douluo were hiding in the camp. When the two sides clashed, Xu Mingxi and his companion were quickly defeated and retreated back to Tianxing City.
One reason for this was that Xu Mingxi didn't go all out; he hoped that the Star Luo Battlefield could continue indefinitely, the longer the better.
Ideally, the fight should drag on until Qian Daoliu and Tang San are both severely injured, resulting in the death of one of the Peerless Douluo.
Although Xu Mingxi and the Sect Master's surprise attack failed, it completely stabilized the situation on the spot. Until Dai Feng arrived, the two sides remained in a stalemate.
Seeing this, Dai Feng breathed a sigh of relief and climbed the city wall to check on the situation of the Spirit Hall's troops. When he saw the well-organized army of Soul Master, his expression turned grim.
Now that things have come to this point, how could he not see that the Spirit Hall had long harbored ambitions and had been preparing in secret for countless years?
When he came down from the city wall, he saw the Star Crown Sect's team and the five Titled Douluo in the team. His eyes flashed with an inscrutable expression.
That evening, Dai Feng discussed some matters with the generals of the Star Luo Empire, and the next day a wartime meeting was convened.
The Star Crown Sect's title holders, along with all the clan heads Sect Master who came to provide assistance, were invited to participate.
"The evil deeds of the Spirit Hall are intolerable. Does anyone have any ideas to save my Star Luo Empire from this disaster?"
Dai Feng spoke to everyone, but his gaze remained fixed on the Star Crown Sect members to his left.
Seeing that no one had spoken for a long time, he decided not to waste any more time.
"Sect Master Xu, your sect is very powerful. Do you have any good strategies to repel the enemy?"
They've arrived. The Sect Master knew that the strength the Star Crown Sect was displaying this time would definitely make Dai Feng wary.
However, he was genuinely worried that the Star Luo Empire wouldn't be able to withstand the Spirit Hall's attack if he didn't bring so many people.
The Star Crown Sect has lived in this country for so many years, and many people within the sect do not want this land to become a place of devastation.
In fact, some of the clan leaders and Sect Master present were longtime friends with whom they had a close relationship.
"Your Majesty, there are four members of the Golden Crocodile Douluo in the Spirit Hall's camp. If we go all out, we can hold off three of them."
There are three, which means there is one more Super Douluo. I and Lin'er can stop one of them, which means there are still four titled individuals left, including Hu Yanzhen.
Emperor Dai Feng calculated for a long time and suddenly realized that this was just like before he and the Star Crown Sect arrived.
He scanned the crowd below from inside the tent, estimating the difference in strength between himself and the Spirit Hall, when he suddenly spotted someone in the Star Crown Sect's ranks.
Dai Feng's eyes lit up for a moment, but then quickly dimmed again.
Poison Douluo Dugu Bo is incredibly lethal in this environment, but it's really difficult to use him.
King against king, general against general, soldier against soldier – this is the unspoken rule on the Soul Master battlefield.
Sending Titled Douluo to slaughter ordinary Soul Master could certainly reduce losses and end the battle quickly, but this is a dangerous precedent.
Once this breach is opened, the Two Great Empires will suffer the greatest losses.
With Qian Daoliu's mobility, no one could stop him from Destruction the entire Star Luo City and leaving.
Dai Feng picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Looking at the powerful figures sitting silently in their seats below, he felt increasingly bitter.
Every minute and every second this war continues is a drain on the Star Luo Empire's national strength.
He knew that these sects and families in front of him definitely had strength they hadn't revealed yet, especially the Star Crown Sect.
But what can he do? Can he force them to use all their strength?
If this war hadn't concerned the entire Star Luo Empire, the Dai Family wouldn't have mobilized so much power.
With a helpless sigh, Dai Feng ended today's meeting.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's side also did not want to launch an attack. In their eyes, the Spirit Hall's strength here was greater than that of the Star Luo Empire, but not by much.
They were waiting for the good news that the Grand Elder and Bibi Dong had defeated the Heaven Dou Empire.
With a Peerless Douluo, a near- Peerless Douluo, and the assistance of so many titled Elder from the Spirit Hall, Golden Crocodile and the others did not believe they would lose the Heaven Dou Battlefield.
The Star Luo Battlefield was at a stalemate for a time, with neither side daring to start a fight.
