Chapter 207
Chapter 207
At the end of the day when Chen Tian went to the banquet, both of them left with satisfaction. Chen Tian got the defense map and supply route of the Star Luo Empire army, while Duke Zhu Wen got a promise promised to him by Chen Tian.
Although this promise was not given by Bibi Dong, Chen Tian's words were more substantial!
next morning
After breakfast, tens of thousands of Wuhundian troops came to call for formation outside the Star Luo Empire military camp. At this moment, the battle between the two empires officially began.
The two empires had just started a war, and Bibi Dong did not show a good card.
The ones appearing now are just ordinary troops~
During this period, although the Star Luo Empire sent many troops here, there were still a large number of elites staying behind the Star Luo Empire.
Bibi Dong started this war because she wanted to unify the entire Douluo Continent, but that didn't mean she wanted a pile of broken bricks waiting for her to recover after the war.
She wants to keep the war in one place as much as possible!
If there was a war, she would defeat the Star Luo Empire's army with overwhelming force.
The Wuhun Empire is famous...
But the Star Luo Empire will not continue to send elite troops to the front. They will use the cities and fortresses in the rear to block the Spirit Empire's advancement little by little.
In this way, even if the Wuhun Empire successfully eliminates the Star Luo Empire in the end.
In the end, all we got was a pile of ruins!
This is not what Bibi Dong wants!
Therefore, she wanted to defeat the Star Luo Empire army and at the same time give them some hope so that they could send their troops to the border willingly.
Duke Zhu Wen's next task is to cooperate with Bibi Dong in this plan.
However, because of this plan, the Demon-Conquering Army and Mo Dao Camp were unable to appear in a short period of time, which caused the morale of the Demon-Conquering Army to become somewhat low.
You must know that after three years of training, their strength is much stronger than before!
Some warriors have even practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu to the fifth level, which gives them power that is not inferior to that of the power-based Soul Sect.
Although it is quite difficult to think about moving forward from now on~
But at least it's a hope!
A hope that makes ordinary people stronger!
Looking at the battlefield, the provoked Star Luo Empire also sent an equal number of troops to fight.
The combined armies of both sides amounted to six figures. If Chen Tian was not a soul master, he would not be able to see the end with his eyesight. The Spirit Empire had been preparing for this war for several years.
Even if you have to be restrained, you can't scare them.
But the stronger Bibi Dong still sent three thousand soul masters in this battle.
Because even if you want to plot against the Star Luo Empire~
You can’t just tolerate it!
Especially in the first battle, if they lose a big battle at the beginning, the Star Luo Empire will be disgraced. Dai Long, who is furious, will definitely mobilize more elites. At that time, they can be more restrained.
On the battlefield
As the main force of the Spirit Empire, three thousand spirit masters release their spirits as soon as they arrive on the battlefield.
A large number of white, yellow, purple, and black soul rings appeared on the battlefield. What is worth mentioning is that none of the three thousand soul masters has less than four soul rings!
In other words, this is a powerful legion composed of three thousand soul sects.
The soul masters had just released their martial souls and soul rings. The Star Luo Empire's [-]-strong army suddenly began to breathe rapidly. Not every army could be as powerful as the demon-suppressing army, which was not inferior to the low-level soul masters.
These elite troops of the Star Luo Empire have no power to fight against the soul masters.
Next second
When the colorful soul skills bloomed in the sky above the Star Luo Empire army, warriors fell one after another. This could not be called a battle!
To say it was a massacre would be an understatement!
The armies that were absorbed by the Spirit Empire and originally belonged to the major kingdoms immediately put down their worries after seeing the powerful combat effectiveness of the Soul Master Legion, and began to charge with the Soul Master Legion in front.
Seeing this scene, Bibi Dong in the sky had no intention of continuing to watch.
The Star Luo Empire will definitely lose this battle!
In fact, without those [-] soul masters, she might not be able to lose against the Star Luo army with the [-] troops she sent.
But this refers to the normal performance of her army~
But in fact, because the armies of the affiliated kingdoms and principalities in the past were all a bunch of miscellaneous troops, even if Bibi Dong specially trained them after taking over, so that the overall strength of the army increased, these soldiers were facing the Star Luo Empire's The regular army was still a little timid.
This has nothing to do with the strength of both parties, it is just a matter of psychological suppression.
Faced with this situation, the easiest way is to win once, so Bibi Dong sent out three thousand soul masters to boost the morale of the soldiers first!
The effect looks pretty good now!
The morale of the five [-]-strong legions sent by the Spirit Empire was already very high.
Even the morale of the rear army has improved a lot!
Of course
Using the powerful combat power of the soul masters to improve the morale of the regular army is not without side effects. If the soul masters' legions can always remain invincible, then the major legions of the Spirit Empire can also maintain high morale.
But once the soul master army is defeated...
The combat effectiveness and morale of the conventional legion will also plummet~
This is not like the true elites of the two empires. Even if they know that they are going to die, the pride in their hearts will not allow them to become deserters and take a step back!
This is the difference between the real elites and the pseudo-elites cultivated by the Spirit Empire.
Bibi Dong has been the queen and pope for so many years, so she naturally knows about this hidden danger, but she is not worried because she believes in the combat effectiveness of the soul master army.
In her knowledge, no matter how weak the soul master legion is, they will not lose to ordinary people!
Except for the Demon-Conquering Army and Modao Camp~
After taking one last look at the unsuspicious battlefield, Bibi Dong returned to the camp.
as expected
A few hours later, less than 1 of the 4 troops sent by the Star Luo Empire managed to escape, and the remaining [-]-odd troops were all killed in battle!
This reduced the Star Luo Empire's army displayed on the border by one-seventh!
This terrifying rate of battle damage simply made the officers and commanders of the Star Luo Empire feel chilled in their hearts.
Looking at the battle damage report in front of him, one of the generals suppressed the trembling in his heart and said: "Your Excellency, we should ask for help as soon as possible. With our current army, it is impossible to stop the terrifying army of the Spirit Empire!"
"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke!"
"We'd better ask for help as soon as possible and let His Majesty the Emperor send out the heavy armored corps!"
"Your Majesty Duke, don't hesitate any longer!"
The uneasy shouts of the generals in the audience made Duke Zhu Wen almost laugh in his heart.
Correct!
beg me!
Just keep talking!
Please beg me!
Duke Zhu Wen would not tell them that he had secretly taken refuge with Bibi Dong.
Currently displayed on the border are the neutral armies within the Star Luo Empire. The armies that obey the orders of the Zhu family or the royal family are still in the rear.
In Duke Zhu Wen's view, it would be best for Dai Long to send all his troops, so that he would not panic if he had soldiers in hand. However, he estimated that Dai Long would not be able to let him directly control those cronies. Most likely, It means sending domestic noble troops and some troops loyal to the royal family.
If this is the case, although it is a bit disappointing, it can also be said to be a good thing.
Duke Zhu Wen knew that the Wuhun Empire specially brought an army of [-] soul masters for this battle. Only [-] soul masters came out today with such power. If an army of [-] soul masters appeared together, wouldn't it be devastating? The same place?
However, the targeting of the Xingluo royal family in the past three years has also taught Duke Zhu Wen a lesson.
That is, as a minister, you just have to do what you should do. Otherwise, if you form a party for selfish purposes and attract the attention of the emperor, you will still be the unlucky one.
Now that he is being squeezed out by the Xingluo royal family, he can still join the Spirit Empire, but if he is squeezed out by the Spirit Empire in the future, who else can he turn to?
Realizing this, Duke Zhu Wen's desire to fight for power became much less intense.
......
Xingluo City, inside the palace
Dai Long, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, had now learned about the Wuhun Empire's initiative to declare war and the result of the first battle.
The Wuhun Empire took the initiative to start a war, which Dai Long had expected. Although the Wuhun Empire's military strength was not weaker than the two major empires, its foundation was still too poor.
If they don't take the initiative to start a war, the consumption of so many soldiers can kill them.
But the combat effectiveness of the Wuhun Empire's army...
It really made Dai Long feel unbelievable!
Why didn't he know that the miscellaneous armies of those kingdoms and principalities were so powerful?Or is the legion of three thousand soul masters really that powerful?
Dai Long didn't go to the battlefield in person, so he didn't know some things just by reading the report.
He didn't know that Bibi Dong had secretly controlled the major kingdoms and began to train their armies long before the establishment of the Wuhun Empire.
Perhaps in large-scale legion operations, the Spirit Empire is still slightly inferior due to coordination issues.
But in a battle of today's scale, the Spirit Empire is still fearless!
after anger
Dai Long gradually calmed down. He looked at the map in front of him and thought of new countermeasures.
He's been a little proud lately~
Even if they take care of Duke Zhu Wen and consolidate the centralized power, there is still a big gap between their Star Luo Empire and the Wuhun Empire.
Especially when it comes to soul masters!
Dai Long looked at the map and quickly locked onto a target.
This target is a medium-sized fortress located less than thirty kilometers behind the current Star Luo Empire army. It is impossible to continue to fight against the Wuhun Empire. The Wuhun Empire's soul master army is too abnormal. No matter how deep they are, they , we can’t waste it like this!
Relying on the fortress's defenses is the best way to resist the invasion of the Spirit Empire.
But this is just a medium-sized fortress...
Even if the Spirit Empire can be blocked in a short period of time, it will still be destroyed if it takes a long time. What the Star Luo Empire needs is the kind of heavy fortress that can only be opened by one man and not ten thousand men!
But I had to make do in a hurry~
After making the decision, Dai Long asked people to continue delivering supplies to the front line and heighten and strengthen the fortress, while also sending more reinforcements to the front line.
This person is also particular about sending reinforcements. He cannot drag a group of cannon fodder to the front line.
This does nothing except waste food~
Finally, Dai Long mobilized 15 troops from all over the country to assist the frontline troops. Fifty thousand of these 15 troops were elites under Duke Zhu Wen.
The remaining [-] troops are all elite troops under the command of the great nobles in the Star Luo Empire.
Once the 15-strong army arrives at the front line, coupled with the protection of the fortress, it will be enough to buy more time. Moreover, Dai Long believes that the Tiandou Empire will definitely not sit back and watch them be destroyed after knowing the powerful fighting power of the Soul Master Legion. Will send troops to cause trouble behind the Wuhun Empire.
Then they might even have a chance to counterattack!
Although the chance is low, it can at least delay the attack of the Spirit Empire.
the other side
In Tiandou City on the other side of the continent
Dai Long's guess was not wrong. After the ministers of the Tiandou Empire learned about the powerful strength of the Wuhun Empire, the wind direction in the court instantly changed dramatically.
The ministers who originally agreed to join forces with the Spirit Empire were silent. The ministers who had previously agreed to join forces with the Star Luo Empire to fight against the Spirit Empire now had their faces glowing red and looked at their former opponents with provocative expressions. The Soul Empire is so powerful that if it weren't for the Star Luo Empire, it would definitely attack them.
Forming an alliance with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger!
Now the entire government and opposition, including representatives of the great nobles in the country, are mostly inclined to go to war with the Wuhun Empire and indirectly help the Star Luo Empire.
Just when to start the war and to what extent~
Instantly became a new topic of discussion~
Although the ministers now agree to go to war with the Wuhun Empire to support the Star Luo Empire, some ministers think that the war can be started but it will take some time.
Now the Star Luo Empire and the Wuhun Empire are fighting!
If they go over and take the initiative to provoke at this time, it is possible that the Spirit Empire's attention will be drawn to them.
If they attract a few soul master legions, they will lose more than they gain, so some people think that even if they want to start a war to provide assistance, they will have to wait for a while. Anyway, both the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Empire are their enemies. Let them consume more power between them!
Once this view emerged, it was endorsed by the vast majority of people. Even the military representatives who attended on behalf of Marshal Gelong had no objections.
Damn the Wuhun Empire...
The Star Luo Empire is even more damnable!
If it weren't for the Star Luo Empire being too useless, they would rather sit aside and watch the show, waiting until they both lose before taking action.
Looking at the ministers who gradually unified their opinions, Qian Renxue felt a little complicated.
With so many ministers suggesting war against the Spirit Empire, she, the emperor, had no choice. All she could do was delay the start of the war until two months later.
She now only hopes that in the next two months, the Wuhun Empire's army will be unstoppable, not to mention defeating the Star Luo Empire, but also to capture enough territory, otherwise her efforts will be in vain.
Afterwards, Qian Renxue patted the table in front of her.
After the hall became quiet, Qian Renxue said loudly:
"Two months later, Marshal Ge Long will lead 20 elite troops to attack Jialing Pass, the fortress of the Spirit Empire. At that time, the Royal Knights will join the battle!"
"You must mobilize supplies in these two months and send them to the front line without any mistakes!"
All the ministers: "We obey your order!"
The Tiandou Empire is indeed an old empire. When all the ministers in the court work together to accomplish one thing, the entire Tiandou Empire is like a huge and precise instrument.
Groups of heavily armed elite troops are constantly gathering~
Batch after batch of supplies began to be shipped to the front line~
