Chapter 153 War!
However, Dai Yutian's decision to send his own titled Douluo to intercept the titled Douluo of the Heavenly Dragon Empire became his biggest blunder.
Because the Star Luo Empire's territory was vast, news of the battle several days prior was only now arriving.
Just as Dai Yutian was anxiously awaiting news, a blood-soaked and disheveled flying soul master scout stumbled into the palace.
He finally collapsed to the ground with a thud, his voice trembling.
"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! The Heavenly Dragon Empire's people have broken through our western defense line and are only eighty miles from the imperial city! Several titled Douluo generals have died in battle, and we have suffered a crushing defeat!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Yutian swayed violently and almost fell.
Fortunately, Zhu Yali, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and stepped forward to help him up.
However, upon hearing this news, her face also turned ashen.
"How is this possible! The garrison on the western defense line is all elite, with eight titled Douluo in command. How could they be so easily defeated?"
Dai Yutian roared, his voice filled with disbelief and anger.
The scout trembled as he replied, "Your Majesty, we have all been deceived by the Heavenly Dragon Empire. Their Title Douluos haven't split up; they've remained gathered together.
The figures we saw of Heavenly Dragon Empire Title Douluos elsewhere were merely the soul skills of one of their Title Douluos."
Dai Yutian's vision blurred, and he slumped onto the dragon throne.
His courage to send someone to intercept them stemmed from his confidence in the strength of his own Title Douluos and his understanding of the Star Luo Empire.
Now he was being told that they hadn't split up at all, but were simply catching him off guard.
Including the previous counterattack, the Star Luo Empire had already lost more than a third of its thirty-odd Title Douluos.
Zhu Yali frowned, anxiously saying, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to be distressed. They are about to besiege the city! Quickly summon the generals who were sent out to intercept them back!"
Dai Yutian understood the urgency of the situation, gritting his teeth, his eyes flashing coldly.
"Issue my order: recall all available troops around the imperial city and defend it to the death! Also, contact the generals who were lying in wait and order them to return to the imperial city immediately!"
The scout struggled to his feet, accepted the order, and hurriedly left.
Dai Yutian turned to Zhu Yali, his eyes filled with weariness and worry: "Empress, if the Star Luo Empire is destroyed this time, how can I face our ancestors?"
Zhu Yali gripped Dai Yutian's hand tightly, her tone resolute.
"Your Majesty, our Star Luo Empire is stronger than ever before. All the setbacks were merely due to being caught off guard by the Tianlong Empire."
"If the two armies were to fight head-on, our Star Luo Empire might not necessarily lose!"
Dai Yutian nodded emphatically. Although they had lost a third of their Title Douluos, they still had a dozen or twenty left.
As long as they remained united, even if all the Tianlong Empire's people arrived, it would take considerable effort to defeat them.
At this moment, above the vast plains sixty miles from the Star Luo Empire's capital, more than twenty figures stood in the air.
At the very front of the formation was a graceful black figure—Zhu Zhuqing.
Behind her were the more than twenty figures, all Title Douluos dispatched by the Tianlong Empire.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at this familiar place and said coldly, "The imperial city of the Star Luo Empire is just ahead!"
She felt no belonging to the Star Luo Empire, only hatred.
The twenty-odd figures remained silent, for they were all assassins, powerful assassins.
At this moment, on the plains where the imperial city was located, Star Luo Empire soldiers surged forth like a tide, a vast, dark mass, numbering at least a million.
Although these Star Luo Empire soldiers were numerous, each soldier's eyes were wide open, their faces pale, and their throats bobbing involuntarily.
Clearly, they were terrified.
After all, they were just ordinary people; how could they not be afraid of powerful and infamous Title Douluos?
However, they dared not desert because of the few Title Douluos behind them.
They knew that desertion would result in immediate execution and endanger their families.
Therefore, they had no choice but to stand there, even if it was of no use.
However, the few Title Douluos of the Star Luo Empire looked solemn.
They knew of their previous crushing defeat, but their eyes still burned with a resolute fighting spirit.
Among them, a Title Douluo with fierce eyes and sword-like eyebrows, bearing three old scars, stepped forward to speak.
This man was one of the Title Douluos of the Star Luo Empire, named Fu Yunshi.
A level 93 Power Attack-type Title Douluo, his Martial Soul was Cloud Lion. "Soldiers! Today, we are not only protecting the imperial city, but also the dignity and glory of the entire Star Luo Empire! For our homeland, for our loved ones, fight!"
Fu Yunshi raised his arm and shouted, his voice powerful and resounding through the sky.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The soldiers of the Star Luo Empire roared in unison, their shouts overwhelming and soaring into the heavens.
A cold glint flashed in Fu Yunshi's eyes. He had just activated his soul power to dispel the fear in the hearts of those mortal soldiers.
"That's right, that's it. Your mission is to die, to hinder the advance of the Heavenly Dragon Empire's Title Douluo with your fearless spirit!"
At this moment, those excited Star Luo Empire soldiers were unaware that they had already been regarded as expendable pawns.
Seeing this, the Title Douluo of the Heavenly Dragon Empire sneered disdainfully: "A stubborn resistance, overestimating yourselves!"
Before his words had even finished, several figures flashed out like black lightning, appearing in the sky above the Star Luo Empire's army in an instant.
Some of them wielded curved swords, some used daggers, and there were many strange and bizarre weapons.
They didn't act unless absolutely necessary, but when they did, it was astonishing!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
With each attack from these Title Douluos, multicolored slashes tore through the air, illuminating the sky with dazzling brilliance.
In an instant, violent explosions echoed throughout the Star Luo Empire's army.
The once orderly formation was torn apart, with huge gaps appearing, and many soldiers were blasted to pieces in the attack.
The Star Luo Empire's soldiers did not retreat; they quickly moved to fill the gaps in their defenses.
However, while these mortal soldiers did not give up, the Star Luo Empire's Title Douluos stood by and watched.
Especially Fu Yunshi, who seemed oblivious to the horrific deaths of the Star Luo Empire's mortal soldiers. He
retreated to the rear of the army, quietly observing everything.
Their actions alerted the Title Douluos of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, who were assassins; they immediately began to communicate.
"Those bastards from the Star Luo Empire are really decisive. To delay us, they're willing to send a million mortal soldiers to their deaths."
"Hmph, so what? A mere million? Killing them is as easy as killing chickens!"
"That's right. Since they're all so eager to die, we assassins won't show any mercy!"
After the exchange, the Title Douluo of the Heavenly Dragon Empire launched an even fiercer attack, instantly killing hundreds, even thousands, of mortal soldiers.
Fu Yunshi, watching the speed at which the mortal soldiers died, cursed inwardly, "What a bunch of trash!"
"Moo!"
Just as he was wondering what to do, a loud horn sounded from afar, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
A series of terrifying figures appeared on the horizon, attacking the Title Douluo of the Heavenly Dragon Empire without hesitation.
It turned out to be the allied forces of Seagod Island and the Spirit Hall arriving.
Or rather, finally deigning to show themselves.
They had originally intended for the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Dragon Empire to fight to the death, then reap the benefits.
However, the Star Luo Empire's indifference disrupted their plans.
After weighing the pros and cons, they chose to reveal themselves, taking advantage of the Star Luo Empire's remaining strength to form an alliance with them.
"Brothers of the Star Luo Empire, don't worry, Seagod Island is here to lend you a hand!"
"The Spirit Hall is the same!"
Before the Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall and Seagod Island could finish speaking, they attacked the Title Douluos of the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
Their target was very clear: the weakest figure in the sky, Zhu Zhuqing.
In an instant, the few remaining Title Douluos around Zhu Zhuqing were also restrained.
Because of this, Dai Mubai found an opportunity to rush towards Zhu Zhuqing.
A glint of madness and excitement flashed in his eyes as he roared, "You harlot, prepare to die! Today is your death day!"
