Chapter 233 Breaking the Queen

"Don't underestimate the enemy. Although the people in that legion are just ordinary people and not soul masters, the murderous aura in the sword is very difficult. It's not a big problem when they are facing each other individually, but once they gather together, the murderous aura becomes one, even if the soul master will be affected.

And as the battle continues, more murderous intent will be aroused from the sword, and even those soldiers will fall into madness and fear of death. We have suffered from this in the past. "

A serious reminder that Dai Tiehu had never underestimated the strongest legion of the Tiandou Empire.

Although soul masters are powerful, they are few in number, and soul masters with powerful talents are even rarer.

Even though the soul master legion he brought out this time only had three thousand people, the war would still be dominated by legions composed of ordinary people.

Moreover, once those people in the Xuefeng Legion go crazy and kill low-level soul masters, they will also be a big threat to the soul master legion.

"Grandpa, you haven't let the Tiger Roar Legion participate in the war, just to deal with the Snow Front Legion?"

Dai Xueyi looked at the 200,000 Tiger Roar Legion stationed outside the city. Who would have guessed that his grandfather asked the Tiger Roar Legion to recharge their batteries in order to annihilate the Xuefeng Legion. This was too cautious.

The Tiger Roaring Legion is the strongest legion in the Star Luo Empire. The legionnaires are formed by selecting the strongest soldiers from the national army. The horses they ride also have part of the soul beast bloodline, which is equivalent to the soul beasts that are decades old.

Coupled with the sophisticated heavy armor and lance, he is almost invincible on the battlefield.

But now, in order to deal with a 100,000-sized legion, the 200,000-strong Tiger Roaring legion was allowed to recharge to such a situation.

You must know that in this month's war, their losses were not small. If the Tiger Roar Legion was allowed to participate in the war, the battle losses would be reduced by at least 50%.

"When you see that legion, you will know how difficult they are. To fight them, you can only fight them quickly and quickly. The longer it is delayed, the more and stronger the murderous intent they can arouse."

After speaking briefly, Dai Tiehu looked at Prince Xingluo, who had been silent.

"Your Highness, Jialing Pass will be left to you."

This battle was so dangerous that even he didn't have much confidence. Naturally, he couldn't take the risk with the prince. It was just right for him to lead the remaining 100,000 troops to sit at Jialing Pass to guard their most important retreat.

"Until the general returns in triumph, Jialing Pass will never be lost."

With a solemn look on his face, Prince Xingluo solemnly promised.

Nodding, Dai Tiehu knelt down and touched the head of the blond young lady. He smiled kindly and said, "Little Weiss, you need to grow up quickly. The future belongs to you."

The changes brought about by the changes in the world are getting bigger and bigger. Each generation of soul masters is getting stronger than each generation, and all the major forces in the world are also undercurrents. A glorious but cruel era is brewing, which will inevitably bring about earth-shaking changes.

That is a crisis and an opportunity.

"I will definitely become a titled Douluo."

Clenching his small fists, Davis said forcefully.

Following his father along the way, he witnessed the cruelty of war, which made him more and more thirsty for strength and power. He not only wanted to become the future Emperor of Star Luo, but also became a titled Douluo.

Dai Tiehu smiled, ruffled the little guy's hair, and immediately stood up to look at the city wall that was being dismantled and destroyed by the soldiers.

Yes, they are demolishing Jialing Pass now.

Jialing Pass is the last defensive barrier of the Tiandou Empire and is of vital importance. Once it is recaptured and blocked by the Tiandou Empire, their retreat will be cut off, which is very dangerous.

After all, they didn't know whether the Haotian Sect would intervene. If the Haotian Sect's people came to attack, the 100,000 troops left behind would not be able to defend them at all.

Therefore, it is best to dismantle Jialing Pass and fill in the moat outside the city. Even if the Tiandou Empire takes this place away, they can break through the blockade and return to the empire.

Not to mention Jialingguan, there was a lot of noise in Tiandou City.

Originally, the Star Luo Empire's rapid invasion caught them off guard. Although they quickly mobilized an army to go south for support, they could not quench their thirst far away.

The march of the army is not that simple. The preparation work alone takes a long time.

Moreover, the marching speed cannot be too fast, and water far away cannot quench the thirst nearby.

They thought that things would get better if they just hold on, but who would have thought that Xingluo's army would take Jialing Pass in one breath, and now that there would be no obstruction to Tiandou City, how could they not be impatient?

Although the city defense of Tiandou City is not bad, it is still inferior to that of Jialing Pass, a special city built according to the terrain.

If Xingluo's army can quickly capture Jialing Pass, they can naturally capture Tiandou City as well.

"Do you want to find out how the Xingluo army broke through Jialing Pass?"

Sitting on the throne, Emperor Xuesheng asked with a gloomy expression.

He was not a fool, so he could naturally tell that something was wrong. The Xingluo army's offensive was too strong and too fast. It took just over a month to reach Jialing Pass and capture it. The empire's military defense seemed to be in vain.

You must know that Jialing Pass is the last barrier of the empire. The defense there is stronger than that of Tiandou City, and there is no way it can be captured quickly.

There must be a reason for this. If it is not figured out as soon as possible, this battle will not be fought at all.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. They didn’t know what to say. They were also confused.

There was no way, they only knew that Jialing Pass had been breached, but no one inside had escaped. The news was completely blocked, and there was no way to know it in a short time.

"Father, the speed of the Xingluo army's advance is very abnormal. I suspect that they may have dispatched a large number of high-level soul masters, and they may even have used titled Douluo."

Xue Zhan expressed his own analysis. He only thought of this possibility, otherwise there would be no way to explain it.

"Title Douluo."

Nodding slightly, Emperor Xuesheng also guessed the same thing, but he still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Father, you haven't slept for a long time. Your health is very important. I'm afraid the next situation will be even worse. You'd better rest for a while to better lead us through this difficulty."

Xue Ye suggested with concern. Everyone looked at Emperor Xue Sheng's bloodshot eyes with worried expressions on their faces, and even looked at the brothers Xue Ye and Xue Zhan.

The current situation in the empire is not good. If Emperor Xue Sheng has some shortcomings, the two brothers Xue Ye and Xue Zhan may have to fight for the throne before they can drive out the Xing Luo army.

At that time, the empire was truly hopeless.

"Everyone go down first, do a good job in defending the imperial capital, and appease the people in the city. There must be no mistakes."

Tiredly pinching the bridge of his nose, Emperor Xuesheng did not hold on and waved for everyone to leave.

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

Everyone stood up and left, and in the end only Emperor Xuesheng and his son were left.

"Father, the Xingluo army is approaching fiercely and the situation is not good. We should prepare a retreat. If the imperial capital falls, we will not completely collapse."

Xue Ye handed over a cup of tea and suggested in a low voice.

"It is indeed unsafe in Tiandou City. Father, please retreat to the old capital first. There are sons and ministers guarding Tiandou City."

Xue Zhan on the other side agreed and looked at his brother Xue Ye at the end.

"Brother, you should also go with your father. If I fail to defend Tiandou City, the empire will rely on you and my father in the future."

"Xue Zhan you..."

Xue Zhan's decision shocked Xue Ye. He really didn't expect that at such a critical moment, his brother, who had always been against him, would make such a decision.

With the current situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is little hope of Tiandou City being defended. Xue Zhan's choice to stay is tantamount to death.

And he also asked himself to follow his father to retreat. This was to give up the fight for the throne with him.

"No, it's yours. If you have the ability to attract and destroy the main force of the Xingluo army, I will change with you immediately. It's a pity that you are too incompetent."

Before Xue Ye could say anything else, Xue Zhan retorted and gave him an undisguised look of disdain.

"you……"

Xue Ye's face turned red due to the rebuke, and she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. The emotion she felt just now was instantly gone.

Emperor Xuesheng remained silent, struggling in his heart.

Naturally, he knew that staying would be a disaster, but if Xue Zhan was not allowed to stay and use the characteristics of the Xuefeng Legion to destroy the main force of the attacking Xingluo army, even if they fled to the old capital, it would be of no avail.

"Ye'er, has there been any reply from Sect Leader Tang?"

Turning to look at his eldest son Xue Ye, Emperor Xue Sheng hoped to persuade the Haotian Sect to take action.

"Sect Master Tang has taken people to the Royal Academy outside the city to rest, but the Haotian Sect has long had an ancestral instruction not to intervene in the imperial war. It can only escort us out of Tiandou City to a safe place."

Xue Ye didn't want the Haotian Sect to get involved immediately after telling Tang Zhen what he had discussed a long time ago.

"Where is the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect?"

Continuing to ask, Emperor Xuesheng could only place his hopes on the Qibao Glazed Sect.

If he had the assistance of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, he would now be able to unleash combat power comparable to that of a titled Douluo. The same could be said for the elders of the royal family, who would still be able to compete.

As long as it takes about ten days, the assembled army will reach Tiandou City and will have no fear of the Xingluo Empire's army.
