"Your Majesty, you must not let this drag you into despair."
Yu Xiaogang reminded him anxiously. He still wanted revenge for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the dead Liu Erlong. "Although we suffered losses tonight, we also gained an advantage."
"What advantage?"
Emperor Xue Ye looked at Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang answered, "Although the Spirit Hall Empire succeeded tonight, after unleashing Soul Skills on such a massive scale and over such a wide area, Su Chen and Flame Eagle Douluo must have very little Soul Power left. They won't be able to repeat the same tactic and strike us again anytime soon."
Emperor Xue Ye said nothing. Though old, he was not senile. How could he fail to recognize that Yu Xiaogang was trying to comfort him?
Yu Xiaogang continued, "Tomorrow will be a perfect opportunity for us to counterattack."
"Tomorrow?"
"So soon?"
"Isn't that a little hasty? Our army just retreated thirty li through the night. Every man in our ranks is exhausted!"
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's proposal, several experienced generals of the Heaven Dou Empire voiced their objections.
Yu Xiaogang sighed almost imperceptibly, then continued, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, generals, I also wish to give the army more rest. But the enemy has a monster who can command the elements of heaven and earth. We cannot afford to let our guard down. Fighting a decisive battle against the Spirit Hall Empire tomorrow, before his Soul Power recovers, offers us a rare opportunity."
Emperor Xue Ye asked, "Grandmaster, do you have a good plan for the coming decisive battle?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded. "Your Majesty, if the Spirit Hall Empire can launch a surprise attack, why can't we?"
"A surprise attack?"
"A surprise attack?"
"A surprise attack?"
Everyone in the command tent looked at Yu Xiaogang with curiosity.
