"I will personally lead the 100,000-strong main force of the Chinese army, as well as the empire's strongest 'Tiger' Soul Master Legion, to attack the 'One Line of Sky' from the front!"
Dai Tianfeng's riding whip hit the sand table a little harder, as if he had seen the scene of victory.
"Three armies, advance at the same time! I will make Goebbels unable to look at each other! I will completely tear apart their defense lines within three days!"
"We will not accept surrender in this battle!"
Dai Tianfeng's voice became cold and cruel:
"Every Heaven Dou sergeant will... be shot without mercy!"
"Annihilate Heaven Dou's 500,000-strong army at the border in one fell swoop. Then, the army marches straight in and approaches Heaven Dou City! Fulfill my Star Luo Empire long-cherished wish for hundreds of years and unify the continent!"
"Ho! Ho! Ho!"
All the generals in the tent were excited by this grand blueprint. They raised their weapons high and roared like wild beasts. In their eyes, victory was within easy reach, and supreme glory and merit were waving to them.
Unify the continent!
What a great achievement this is!
And they will be the creators of this great history!
No one doubts the outcome of this war. In their eyes, Heaven Dou Empire is already a corpse waiting to be slaughtered.
Distant Spirit City, Papal Palace.
This building, which symbolizes the strongest power in the mainland, is as grand, solemn, and cold as ever.
Pope Qian Xunji, wearing a luxurious golden robe and a purple gold crown, sat quietly on the Pope throne, which represented the supreme power.
He has a handsome face and elegant temperament, but his deep eyes sparkle with a coldness and majesty that is completely inconsistent with his appearance.
Your Highness, more than a dozen elders wearing red bishop robes stood with their hands hanging down. The whole hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
A cardinal in charge of intelligence quickly walked into the temple, knelt on one knee, and respectfully presented a secret report.
"Report the latest battle report from the border of His Holiness the Pope, Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire."
Qian Xunji did not reach out to pick it up, but just said one word lightly:
"Read."
"Yes."
The cardinal opened the secret report and read in a deep voice:
"Heaven Dou Empire Marshal Goebbels was attacked by Marshal Star Luo Empire Dai Tian and set up.
In this battle, the Heaven Dou Left Pioneer Battalion's 30,000 troops and the 800 Soul Master troops were wiped out, and the commander-in-chief Ge Long was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
The right vanguard battalion also suffered heavy losses. Heaven Dou's 500,000-strong army has retreated across the board and is huddled in the 'One Line Sky' fortress. According to intelligence analysis, it has lost the ability to counterattack."
"Star Luo Empire's morale has been greatly boosted. Marshal Dai Tianfeng has issued a general offensive order. It is planned to advance in three directions in three days to annihilate Heaven Dou's main border force in one fell swoop."
After the bishop finished reciting, the atmosphere in the entire hall became a little subtle.
There was a hint of joy on the faces of several bishops that was not easy to detect.
Heaven Dou Empire suffered such a big loss, which seems to be good news for the Spirit Hall, who has always wanted to suppress the two empires.
However, there was no smile on Qian Xunji's face on the throne. His slender fingers gently tapped the armrest, making a very regular "tap, tap" sound. His eyes were deep and showed no joy or anger.
"Haha, the entire army was wiped out?"
Qian Xunji suddenly chuckled, but there was no warmth in the laughter. Instead, the temperature in the hall dropped a bit.
"Goebbels, the so-called Heaven Dou God of War, is nothing more than a trash in name only. Dai Tianfeng... does have some tricks up his sleeve."
A cardinal spoke carefully:
"Your Majesty, Star Luo Empire has won this battle. I'm afraid... the intention to unify the continent has become clear.
If Heaven Dou Empire is really destroyed, the Star Luo Empire family will be the only one on the mainland, which means to us Spirit Hall..."
"Go on."
Qian Xunji's eyes fell on him.
The bishop felt an invisible pressure, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and said bravely:
"By then, Star Luo Empire's national power will be unprecedentedly strong, and it will inevitably find ways to weaken the influence of our palace on the mainland, and even... become an enemy of our palace. This... is not conducive to your grand plan."
"Well said."
Qian Xunji nodded and glanced at him approvingly.
He slowly stood up from the throne, walked to the center of the hall, and glanced at everyone.
"You must remember that a divided continent that fights with each other is in the best interest of us Spirit Hall.
The two empires are like two ferocious beasts biting each other. The fiercer they fight and the more blood they shed, the more they need our Spirit Hall's 'mediation' and the more they cannot do without us."
"I do not want Heaven Dou to win, nor do I want Star Luo Empire to win.
What I want is for them to continue fighting like this forever, until both lose and the national power is exhausted.
Until then, it will be the time for us, Spirit Hall, to rule the world and restore order!"
Qian Xunji's voice was not loud, but it carried an undoubted majesty and magic power that made all the bishops feel shaken and showed fanatical worship.
"Dai Tianfeng wants to destroy the main force of Heaven Dou within three days and realize the dream of unification?"
Qian Xunji's mouth curved with a hint of sarcasm:
"Too naive."
"You asked me Spirit Hall, do you agree?"
As soon as the words fell, Qian Xunji's eyes instantly became as sharp as a knife.
"Send me Pope Token!"
"Yes!"
All the bishops knelt down.
"Order, Elder Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, set off immediately and sneak into the Star Luo Empire imperial city!"
Two figures, like Gui Mei, appeared silently in the hall.
One person has an enchanting figure and charming face; the other person is covered in a black robe and has a cold aura. It is Titled Douluo, Yue Guan and Gui Mei!
The two of them knelt down on one knee and said in unison, "I obey the order of His Holiness the Pope!"
Qian Xunji's eyes fell on them and said in a cold voice:
"Dai Tianfeng doesn't want to be the emperor who will unify the continent through the ages? Then I will cut off his roots first."
"Your mission is very simple. Within three days, I want Star Luo Empire to retreat. If you dare to resist, kill him first to serve as a warning to others!"
"Hiss--"
There was a gasp of air in the hall.
Assassinate the emperor! Destroy people White Tiger Sect!
His Holiness the Pope's handiwork is really too big! It's also too ruthless!
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo looked at each other, with a glint of excitement flashing in their eyes.
"As you command!"
"This is not enough."
Qian Xunji seems to think this is not safe enough and orders again:
"Order, Spirit Hall Holy Dragon Legion Commander, Soul Douluo Tuoba Xi, lead five hundred Soul King level and above elites to form a 'Holy Judgment' team, accompanied by two elders.
Your mission is to create the greatest chaos in Star Luo City after the two elders took action!
Burn their granaries, assassinate their ministers, and turn their capital upside down!"
"Let Dai Tianfeng fight on the front line and let his backyard catch fire! Let him have a taste of despair!"
"Yes!"
Another Soul Douluo with a strong aura walked out and followed the order.
After the order was issued, Qian Xunji sat back on the throne, his face regained its calmness.
It was as if the person who just decided the fate of tens of thousands of people or even an empire was not him.
He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please step aside."
