On the walls of Night Capital, as Yan Jin and the soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire were locked in a tense standoff, a blue light with silver radiance flashed in mid-air.
A young man with deep blue hair, azure eyes, and delicate features slowly materialized, from illusory to real, until the light faded, and his body was completely solid, his blue windbreaker rustling in the wind.
"Thunderclap Douluo…" In the distance, Dai Chenghua looked at the man who appeared above Night Capital, his eyes solemn, "Why would he appear here at this time?"
"Since the White Tiger Army merged with the main force, we have lost track of his movements. His whereabouts have always been unpredictable, so it's not surprising that he appears anywhere," Zhu Wucheng said in a deep voice.
In the eyes of Dai Chenghua and others, Lei Yin was definitely a formidable enemy, appearing and disappearing without a trace, not only powerful but also possessing outstanding intelligence and skills, earning him the title of "Military God."
Since he rose to prominence a year ago, taking over the command of the Heaven Dou Empire's garrison, all military actions of the White Tiger Army have been meticulously calculated by him, even giving people the illusion that the White Tiger Army is nothing more than a puppet under his control.
Wei Zhaowu's face showed a hint of excitement when he saw Lei Yin, and he clenched his fists.
"General Wei, please calm down. I know you have been repeatedly frustrated by him and have always wanted to win back a game, but now the overall situation is the priority," Zhu Wucheng advised.
"I understand," Wei Zhaowu took a deep breath, his face regaining its composure.
"Lei Yin, why are you here?" Yan Jin asked.
"Sister, don't worry about this, just let them have it," Lei Yin replied.
"But, this is Night Capital. The Duke's Mansion is here. Amon is not here, so I have to help him guard it," Yan Jin said with a serious face.
Since Amon obtained his seventh soul ring and successfully parasitized, he could already avoid being detected by the host.
Therefore, even though the "Worm of Time" still existed within Yan Jin's body, Yan Jin herself didn't know that she had been parasitized, as Amon hadn't communicated with her.
Although she guessed, based on her understanding, that Amon was probably watching the development of things somewhere in the city, she couldn't be sure since he hadn't contacted her.
Without certainty, she would choose to protect Night Capital and the Duke's Mansion from falling into the hands of others, according to her own will.
"This is Mr. Amon's intention. He said that the time is almost right, and he wants you to take a trip with him," Lei Yin replied.
"Oh, is that so? Since he himself doesn't care, then I won't bother," Yan Jin nodded.
Red and blue light lit up, lava and thunder intertwined, accompanied by dazzling starlight, Lei Yin, Yan Jin, and one of Amon's "Worms of Time" completed soul fusion.
In a distant place, Amon sat in an ice house, watching the raging wind and snow outside, adjusted his monocle, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In his eyes, lines of fate emitting a faint gray mist floated, and he grabbed one of the connections, "stealing" Yan Jin, who had fused with a certain "Worm of Time."
Yan Jin only felt a surge of light and shadow, losing her perception of the outside world. When she regained her senses, she found that the soul fusion state had been Release, and Amon was in front of her, looking at her with a smile.
She immediately pounced and jumped into Amon's arms, her head hitting his chest hard:
"Amon, long time no see, I miss you so much… Why haven't you paid attention to me for so long?"
Being hit by her like this, Amon seemed to hear the sound of his ribs breaking, and the corner of his mouth twitched:
"If you always rely on me, you won't get much growth. The battlefield life of the past year or so should have allowed you to make considerable progress."
The "Worm of Time" parasitizing Yan Jin's body transmitted information about Yan Jin during this period to the main body through mental synchronization.
The expression on Amon's face suddenly solidified, and he looked at Yan Jin with some disbelief:
"How did you manage to live in the most intense place of the war without using your brain and not encounter too much danger?"
Yan Jin replied with a grin: "Danger? I don't think so… Only when an old man at the Titled Douluo level came to hit me was it a bit dangerous, but I hid near the Crown Prince, and he didn't dare to come over… At other times, the opponents were quite weak."
"By the way, where is this? Why is it so cold?" Looking at the sky full of wind and snow outside, Yan Jin shivered, "It feels colder than the Beidi."
Amon didn't care about Yan Jin's progress either. Letting her experience the tempering of war was just a casual act, and he didn't care much about how much she could gain.
The smile returned to his face, and he replied, "This is north of the Beidi Province… the forbidden zone of mankind, the Far North."
… … … …
Above Night Capital, after Amon "stole" Yan Jin away, Lei Yin also transformed into a ray of lightning and disappeared into the air.
Half a day later, a man dressed in dark linen clothes commonly worn by ordinary people sneaked down from the walls of Night Capital.
Because the generals had already informed their soldiers that the two countries were about to formally sign a peace agreement, the Heaven Dou army in Night Capital had relaxed a lot, and spies from the Star Luo Empire could more easily find opportunities to pass on information.
"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that there are no traces of Yan Jin and Lei Yin in the city, and the Heaven Dou garrison has also relaxed its vigilance," the spy dressed as an ordinary person respectfully reported.
"Very good, pass down the order, the entire army attacks!" Dai Chenghua stared at the city walls, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Zhu Wucheng asked, "Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince send someone over to say that a peace agreement has already been signed?"
Dai Chenghua shook his head and smiled: "Mu Bai and the envoy sent by the Heaven Dou Empire are still on the way. As long as the agreement document has not been formally delivered, then we can regard the war as still continuing."
"What's more, in the agreement, Xue Beng also recognizes our ownership of the Tudor Territory. Taking this opportunity to eat up these hundreds of thousands of troops, wouldn't that be great?"
"As long as we kill these hundreds of thousands of young adults, the Heaven Dou Empire will be in a state of labor shortage for a long time in the future, which can greatly delay their recovery speed."
"If it doesn't work this time, then wait for the next time… We have never been so close to achieving our goal."
"Even if I can't do it, there is still Mu Bai. When it is Mu Bai's time, the opportunity should also be ripe. I can feel that the day to destroy Heaven Dou and rule the entire continent is not far away."
In Dai Chenghua's eyes, the light of ambition flickered.
"General Wei, I'll leave the rest to you. You can deceive them into surrendering, and after controlling Night Capital, you can kill all the prisoners."
"Yes, sir," Wei Zhaowu respectfully saluted, then retreated from the camp tent.
"Your Excellency Demon Eye, please trouble you to let the soul beasts cooperate in attacking the city. This is the last time," Dai Chenghua said to the Myriad Demon King.
The Myriad Demon King glanced at him, shook his head, and said: "We agreed at the beginning that our cooperation would continue until the Heaven Dou Empire succumbed."
"Now Emperor Xue Beng has designated Amon as a criminal, and is willing to cooperate with our Star Dou Great Forest to pursue and kill him, so our cooperation has stopped."
Dai Chenghua hesitated for a long time, and couldn't help but say: "I know a place called 'Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well', which is extremely suitable for plant growth, and many immortal herbs have been born there…"
"Although the immortal herbs have already been picked, with the long lifespan of your soul beasts, waiting for them to grow back is also possible, right? Moreover, you yourself are a plant-type soul beast, and if you cultivate there, it should be of great benefit to you."
"Assist me one last time, and I will tell you the location of the 'Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well'. Of course, I don't know the specifics, only the general area."
This was naturally told to him by Dai Mubai. Since the immortal herbs were gone, Dai Mubai didn't take it too seriously, and reported it to Dai Chenghua as an ordinary secret.
This was a condition that the Myriad Demon King could not refuse. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded in agreement.
The sound of soul beasts galloping and soldiers shouting rang out, countless feet stepping on the ground, causing the entire earth to tremble.
The Heaven Dou soldiers on the city walls looked at the attacking Star Luo army with horror, and shouted in panic: "Didn't you say the war was over? Why are they still attacking?"
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
A shrill alarm sounded.
"Damn it, those bastards don't keep their word… They want to tear up the agreement just signed?" A general slammed his fist on the battlement.
"Don't stand there, move, hurry… move all the siege equipment up and block the city gates with heavy objects!" A clear-headed officer shouted.
Unfortunately, the surroundings were in chaos, and his orders received only limited execution.
Before Qian Renxue left, she appointed Yan Jin as the commander-in-chief of the army, but Yan Jin was driven away by them. Now these hundreds of thousands of troops have no leader, and several senior generals are in charge of their own affairs, without unified coordination.
Some were preparing to break out, some were planning to organize resistance, some claimed to hold on, and some were considering whether to open the city gates and surrender directly.
Without effective resistance, the walls of Night Capital were like decorations to the soul beasts. The Star Luo Empire's army easily climbed the city walls with their help.
"Lay down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed."
"Lay down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed."
The Star Luo soldiers who climbed the city gates shouted slogans while fighting.
Seeing more and more enemy troops pouring onto the city walls, all resistance became futile. Some Heaven Dou soldiers lost their will to continue fighting, dropped their weapons, and squatted on the roadside with their heads in their hands.
The Star Luo army ignored these surrendered people and continued to pursue and kill those who were still stubbornly resisting.
Gradually, more Heaven Dou soldiers joined the ranks of the surrendered, and even some generals who felt that there was no hope of breaking out led their soldiers to surrender in formation.
Before long, the Star Luo army had taken control of the entire Night Capital.
"Pass down the order, receive the prisoners in small teams, and do not kill or plunder the residents in the city, and do not rape women. Those who violate the order will be executed," Wei Zhaowu faintly ordered.
Under the efficient execution of the White Tiger Army, the chaos in the city gradually subsided and a certain order was restored.
