Chapter 566: Breaking the conspiracy, Orange’s frustration [10,000 words]

One of the soldiers said respectfully: "My lord, what do you call me?"

Qian Chaoguang waved his hand and said concisely: "My name is Qian Chaoguang, Du Buxie is my teacher, I'm here to find him."

"Master Qian, please come with me."

The soldier who spoke suddenly became more respectful, motioning to his colleagues to take his place, and he led Qian Chaoguang towards the camp.

As a result, before they could reach the place, the tall Du Bu Shou was already striding towards the outside of the military camp before they took two steps into the camp.

"Chaoguang?"

He had already seen Qian Chaoguang from a long distance away.

A smile appeared on the originally gloomy face.

"You brat is finally here, and you're moving pretty fast! How's the battle going in the Mingdou Mountains? Did that brat Xu Jiawei listen to my advice?"

After the previous four-party meeting, Huo Yutong followed Jin Peng back to the Noumenal Sect, and naturally brought back Qian Chaoguang's action plan for the next few days.

Qian Chaoguang exchanged fists with his teacher and said with a wry smile: "The situation is not optimistic. Xu Jiawei cannot say that he didn't listen at all. He probably listened to half of it. He still mobilized all the main troops."

"On the way to the Heavenly Soul Empire, I received news from my subordinates that Dai Hao organized a sneak attack and destroyed more than three decades of the Sun-Moon Empire at the cost of more than twenty Soul Douluo and two Titled Douluo dying in battle. Two-thirds of the high-altitude detection soul guides tore a hole on the border."

"And they have also confirmed that Death God Douluo Ye Xishui is now personally in charge of the Mingdou Mountains, and the Death God Tower stands on the main peak of the Mingdou Mountains."

"If there are no strong men who are also Extreme Douluo, the Mingdou Mountains will still be an insurmountable barrier for the Star Luo Empire."

"Now Xingluo is trying to send some elite soul masters into the Sun-Moon Empire, in order to put some pressure on the other side and involve some of the energy of the Sun-Moon Empire's senior officials. As for the specific number, I don't know."

"The Dou Ling Empire's reinforcements have changed their route to the north and are now heading towards Tiandou City. They should arrive within half a month."

Du Buushi sighed: "Then those soul master legions in Xingluo are just gathering dust on the edge of the Mingdou Mountains? This guy Xu Jiawei isn't such an idiot, is he?"

"That's not true." Qian Chaoguang shook his head, "According to the news I learned, Xu Jiujiu personally led five soul master legions northward along the border. Judging from that, he might want to bypass the Death God Fight. Luo, break through the blockade from the middle. In addition, Xing Luo has also sent out the last two soul master legions at the bottom of the box, and they are marching towards Tiandou City."

"Half a month, half a month."

Du Buushi sighed deeply again, with a look of melancholy on his face.

Qian Chaoguang's face tightened: "Is the situation of the Tianhun Empire very bad? Didn't the Tianhun Empire listen to my suggestion and pull the main force to the border for defense? It can't be like this."

He was embarrassed to say the words straw bag and waste.

According to Qian Chaoguang's calculation, no matter how useless the Tianhun Empire is, it can at least last a few days longer than in the original work, right?

Hundreds of thousands of troops guarded the border. Could it be that they were defeated in two days?

Du Buushi shook his head: "Not only is it bad, after two days and one night of fighting, just last night, the Sun Moon Empire army had breached the border, and the number of casualties among the Tianhun defenders exceeded 100,000."

"Now the Tianhun defenders are retreating while building defense lines along the way, trying to intercept the footsteps of the Sun and Moon Army. If they hadn't bought thousands of Zhuge God Ballistae from you, they would have been defeated even faster."

Qian Chaoguang: "."

Okay, it seems that my hopes for the Tianhun Empire are still a little high.

The co-writing lasted less than two days longer than the original work.

Du Buushi glanced at the Imperial Guard soldiers who were practicing in the distance, and sighed for the third time: "You're here just in time, so come with me to the Tianhun Palace. It's time to go to court."

Qian Chaoguang was slightly startled: "Isn't this inappropriate? The most Xiaotong and I can do is appear here as your disciples, and then go to the palace with you, okay?"

"Humph, what's inappropriate? The emperor boy of the Wei family is probably eager for you to go and put out the fire for him. At least that's what the little girl Wei Na must be thinking."

Du Buushi snorted, his face full of dominance and indifference.

"If you hadn't warned him in advance more than a year ago, the border defense might have been broken even faster, and by now we might have reached the very feet of Tiandou City."

Weijia

This surname is also quite weird.

Co-author Wei Na’s last name is actually Wei.

"Okay, let's go."

Qian Chaoguang murmured in his heart, and instead of refusing to be poisoned, he followed him out of the Imperial Guard camp and walked towards the palace of the Tianhun Empire.

It has to be said that Douluo Continent is indeed quite extraordinary in the area of ​​building materials.

It is said that the current palace of Tianhun Empire is still the same one where Emperor Tiandou Xueye lived ten thousand years ago.

After so many years of ups and downs and wars, it has been completely preserved until now, allowing the Wei family to live in a second-hand house.

The master and apprentice went straight to the main hall of the palace without any obstruction.

The guarding soldiers had no intention of stopping or asking questions.

When he saw that he was poisoned, he immediately bowed respectfully.

In other countries, the existence of poisonous immortality may be something that the military and soul masters would be shocked to hear, and it may be able to stop children from crying at night.

However, in the eyes of the informed soldiers of the Tianhun Empire, Du BuShu and Noumenon Sect were national heroes, heroes fighting on the front line against the Sun and Moon Empire.

Leading the sect to surprise Mingdetang and retreating unscathed, how domineering and powerful is this?

Probably many ministers of the Tianhun Empire also have a full sense of crisis.

Qian Chaoguang originally thought that he and Du Bushui had arrived early enough, and it was just dawn.

Unexpectedly, when they stepped into the main entrance of the hall, all the civil servants and generals were already in place, waiting for the imperial master to arrive.

Sitting on the emperor's throne is a tall, middle-aged man with starry eyes and sharp eyebrows. He is of extraordinary heroic nature.

Wearing a bright yellow robe with snow lotus patterns and a white gold crown on his head, he sat there with an aura of calmness and authority.

The inherited martial spirit of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family is the Snow Lotus, which is naturally symbolized by the Snow Lotus.

Qian Chaoguang raised his eyes and saw that beneath the handsome and resolute face of the emperor, there was a trace of deep worry and sorrow hidden.

"His Majesty."

Du BuShu drank lightly.

"Teacher, you are here."

The meditating emperor looked towards Du Bushui and Qian Chaoguang, a glimmer of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared in an instant.

When Du Bushui and Qian Chaoguang came closer, he showed a smile and asked gently: "I wonder who this little friend is?"

"Your Majesty, this is one of my close disciples. His surname is Qian and his given name is Chaoguang."

The poisonous eyes suddenly became proud, and the soul power carried the voice and reached everyone's ears.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Qian Chaoguang. You have met Huo Yutong, my other close disciple before. Chaoguang is Xiaotong's brother."

"Chaoguang is not only my disciple, but also the disciple of the late Dragon God Douluo Munn, the future master of the Poseidon Pavilion appointed by Shrek Academy, and the undisputed number one genius of the younger generation in the mainland."

"In the previous Soul Master Competition, Chaoguang single-handedly singled out seven members of the Holy Spirit Cult and killed them all, directly shattering the Sun Moon Empire's conspiracy to win the competition through dishonorable means."

"The reason why Xuanzi is now the acting pavilion master of Poseidon Pavilion is precisely because of Chaoguang's existence. When his cultivation reaches the level of Titled Douluo, he will automatically become Shrek without any formalities or certifications. The supreme leader."

"Even now, Chaoguang is the main decision-maker in the Poseidon Pavilion meeting. The secret letter that came out of the Poseidon Pavilion a year and a half ago was written by him himself after seeing through the conspiracy of the Sun and Moon Empire. The former Mingdu That beheading operation was also planned by Chaoguang."

"I've met your Majesty, I've met you all." Qian Chaoguang also bowed his hands towards everyone and Emperor Tianhun, "It's just a false name, not worth mentioning."

"Wow!"

As soon as Du Bushu said this, many civil servants and generals in the court immediately started talking, and even ignored the etiquette of the court and started whispering to each other.

Being the sole heir to the master of Poseidon Pavilion, what kind of trust and honor is this?

In the ten thousand years of Shrek's inheritance, there has never been such a situation where a heir has been appointed so far apart from one generation to the next.

This even skipped the previous Shrek Dean Yan Shaozhe!

That was the founding disciple of the late Dragon God Douluo Muen.

Even the junior brother of Dragon God Douluo Mu En, the current acting master of the Poseidon Pavilion, and the ninety-eighth-level Taotie Douluo Xuan Lao, were all jumped over.

Becoming a member of the Poseidon Pavilion and becoming the main decision-maker at the age of less than twenty years old is enough to show Qian Chaoguang's genius.

His talents and talents must be terrifying to the extreme.

Emperor Tianhun, who originally had a worried look on his face, suddenly became energetic and looked at Qian Chaoguang with eagerness in his eyes.

This was not the first time he heard the name Qian Chaoguang!

Most of the current strategic layout of the Tianhun Empire was laid out with reference to the secret letter given by Qian Chaoguang.

"It turns out to be little friend Chaoguang. My name has always been familiar to me. When I saw you today, it turned out to be extraordinary. A hero comes from a young boy!"

Emperor Tianhun even stood up, and the smile on his face was even more sincere.

He waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Whoever comes, quickly give me a seat and place it next to the Imperial Master."

The meaning of this sentence is self-evident, and it directly elevates Qian Chaoguang to the same position as Du Bushui.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qian Chaoguang cupped his hands again and sat down together with Du Bushai uprightly.

Although theoretically speaking, Qian Chaoguang's status and strength on the mainland can be regarded as equal to that of the Emperor of the Tianhun Empire.

Even with his current status, no one can say anything about him even without being polite.

But Qian Chaoguang has always been polite and courteous, making it impossible for anyone to find fault with him.

This well-behaved behavior immediately made all the civil and military officials in the court, as well as Emperor Tianhun, feel more favorably.

The ministers who already admired him were full of praise for Qian Chaoguang and kept throwing complimentary words at him.

Especially the small group of high-ranking ministers.

They knew very well that the Tianhun Empire's ability to hold on for nearly two days and two nights on the border was largely due to Qian Chaoguang's advance prediction and the Zhuge Divine Ballista he provided.

Without his advance layout and a large number of fixed soul-guided artillery shells, I am afraid that the border defenders of the Tianhun Empire would be defeated in one blow.

After a brief business exchange, the Tianhun Empire's early dynasty finally got down to business.

The border of Tianhun Empire was breached. This was news a few hours ago.

The soldiers in charge of intelligence along the way used a large number of short-distance soul communicators and used the stupidest and most primitive method to deliver the news to Tiandou City by word of mouth.

As for the current situation of the defenders, no information has been received from the front line.

This gave Emperor Tianhun a very bad premonition.

It was unclear at the moment whether there was no intelligence to send, or the intelligence transmission channel that relied entirely on manpower had been cut off by the other party.

It would be fine if it were the former.

If it's the latter.

That's really not good.

Emperor Tianhun also held a very unoptimistic attitude towards the defense of his own army.

The four soul master legions have already piled up on the border defense line, and they will definitely not be able to withdraw for a while.

As they are fighting on the front line, it is still unknown how many people will be left even after the border is breached.

At present, Wei Na has set off to go south to receive the reinforcements from the Dou Ling Empire, preparing them all to gather in Tiandou City.

On Xingluo's side, it is said that there are two groups of soul masters who have headed towards Tiandou City as quickly as possible.

But he no longer expected Xu Jiawei to do anything to help him, or even that his own army could really stop the menacing Sun and Moon Army.

After the fight actually started, he discovered that the gap between the two sides had actually widened to such a large extent within thousands of years.

The soul master army has almost no meaning in front of the soul master army.

It is unrealistic to just stop the Sun and Moon Army.

The few soul mentor legions in the Tianhun Empire had already assembled around the capital Tiandou City a long time ago, and a large number of elites were also arrayed here.

The emperor knew this very well.

To the west of the Tianhun Empire is the vast Great Plains of Lima. There is no natural barrier that can be relied upon to defend the Sun and Moon Army.

Simply, don’t stop doing one or the other.

Under the advice provided by Qian Chaoguang, he once again chose unconditional trust and chose a more radical decision: strategically abandoning the entire Western Territory and implementing a scorched-earth strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country.

While the cities in front of the battle line were unable to escape, they tried their best to gather the people and resources. All the granaries in the city were emptied, leaving no room for the Sun and Moon Empire.

The remaining rear cities quickly dispatched troops and concentrated all their main forces in Tiandou City.

Strive to use Tiandou City as a bridgehead to temporarily contain the offensive of the Sun and Moon Army.

It is absolutely impossible to defend, the only way is to fight.

Only by taking the initiative and making a game to trap the main force of the Sun and Moon Empire here can there be any hope of winning.

As long as the resources carried by the Sun and Moon Army can be exhausted, the Emperor of the Sky Soul Empire believes that he can definitely win this journey.

At least it will give me more than ten or twenty years of breathing space.

Once the army of the Sun and Moon cannot withstand the logistical pressure and begins to rob the people of food, it will sow the seeds of their future rule and inspire strong resistance among the people, making the unification plan of the Sun and Moon Empire more and more difficult.

It has to be said that the Tianhun Emperor's choice was undoubtedly the right one.

This is how a strong man cuts off his arms and sells his blood to find the rhythm.

Nothing can be broken or established.

Without strategic giving up, what awaits Tianhun will always be chronic death.

Qian Chaoguang only gave him two choices.

Or, according to the traditional method, each city is garrisoned with a large number of troops and defended layer by layer, leaving a lower limit.

Or, perform a stud according to the method he gave and win a maximum limit.

Although stud has a huge gambling component.

But if the bet is successful, judging from the paper strength in the original work, it may be possible to temporarily contain the Sun and Moon Empire's offensive for a period of time.

Before the creation of legion-level high-energy compression array soul guides and high-energy compression milk bottles, the Sun and Moon army had not yet shown an indestructible and invincible posture.

If all the armies of Xing Luo and Dou Ling were to come out in full force, and with Shrek's help, it would even be possible to trap the 300,000 troops of the Sun and Moon Empire here.

Just like Eagle Sauce who was caught in the quagmire of the Vietnam War, he was forced to have no choice but to withdraw his troops forcefully due to the ubiquitous Viet Cong.

But unfortunately, Qian Chaoguang had to pour cold water on the emperor.

That is the factor of Beast Tide and Extreme Douluo.

Shrek's strong man was crucified in Shrek City and could not rush to rescue.

The reason why the ninth-level custom-installed soul-guided artillery shell is called a strategic weapon is because it has a power comparable to a single attack of Extreme Douluo.

Just this attack is often enough to change the direction of the battle.

Then a true Ultimate Douluo, this is a walking humanoid strategic weapon.

The poison alone can't kill one person, but it can't stop two Ultimate Douluo.

Not to mention the two of them, even if they faced Long Xiaoyao with full firepower alone, the only outcome would be defeat if he was not poisoned to death.

What's more, Fengling and the other Super Douluo from the Holy Spirit Sect were watching eagerly.

Two fists are no match for four hands.

Unless the Heavenly Soul Empire also has dozens of level nine custom-installed soul-guided artillery shells, there is absolutely no possibility of victory.

Qian Chaoguang brought Huo Yutong to participate in the battle to defend Tiandou City, just to fulfill his master-disciple relationship and delay the Sun Moon Empire for a while. He didn't even think about helping the Tianhun Empire win.

It would be nice to be able to keep most of the Noumenon Sect disciples from retreating and save a few people from dying.

At least Long Aotian will not die, and those titled Douluo of the Noumenon Sect who fell in the original work will not die.

This is a gap in hard power.

Unless Qian Chaoguang gets hot-headed and brings the undead army to use mechanical deity to directly launch the undead natural disaster, otherwise this war will really be unsolvable.

When the gap reaches a certain level, it is no longer a problem that can be solved by strategy.

Not to mention the same sentence.

Qian Chaoguang wanted to see the Sun and Moon Empire unify, but he didn't want the Sun and Moon Empire to unify so smoothly.

Returning to the barracks of the Imperial Guard, the brother and sister who had been separated for a few days met again.

Qian Chaoguang finally met Long Aotian, the young master of the Noumenon Sect.

Originally, the two of them agreed at the end of the Soul Master Competition to compete again in the future.

As a result, not only did they fail to learn from each other, the two of them lived and practiced together in the Noumenon Sect for more than a year without even meeting each other.

It can only be said that the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

The defense line of Tianhun Empire's western border.

An overwhelming barrage of soul-guided artillery shells roared through the air, and fireworks exploded one after another on the defense line of the Heavenly Soul Empire army.

Countless soul masters fought bloody battles, fighting to the death against powerful soul tools.

Circles of soul rings erupted with dazzling light, transforming into soul skills one after another, releasing the final glory of the ancient profession of soul master on the battlefield.

As the Tianhun Empire inherited the legacy of the Tiandou Empire, they could not be said to be completely unprogressive.

But their blind trust in soul masters ruined too many development opportunities for them.

Countless soul masters and soldiers fought bravely and fought bravely without fear of death.

But so what?

A soul master had just released his soul skill and charged forward with a roar.

Before attacking the opponent, countless soul-guiding rays have already been fired at him.

A hundred meters apart, before the soul skills were released, the people had already become a hornet's nest.

Ordinary soldiers are even more miserable.

They formed an ancient military formation, holding shields and spears, shouting slogans and advancing forward.

Such a formation often results in saturated attacks from countless soul cannons.

After a round of shelling, only twisted metal fragments and non-human-shaped stumps and broken arms were left on the ground.

Occasionally, there were soldiers who did not die directly, but most of them only had half of their bodies left. They could only be fixed in the completely melted metal armor, moaning and wailing constantly.

This is the Douluo Continent version of The Last Samurai.

This is the last glory of the cold weapon era.

The brave warriors were not afraid of death and charged bravely towards the position composed of Maxim heavy machine guns.

What awaits them is only ruthless slaughter and death.

The Sun and Moon Empire didn't even bother to calculate the battle loss ratio, and Orange had already ordered everyone to fire freely.

Several soul mentor groups and four beast king-level soul mentor groups advanced together, fully demonstrating the soul mentor's dominance on the battlefield.

The Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group has left, and the stronger Sun and Moon Royal Soul Mentor Group has arrived.

If we say that elite soul masters can defeat at least three times more soul masters in one-on-one situations.

So if the two sides form a square formation and start a war, the soul masters can defeat at least ten times their own soul master army.

And it will be a one-sided massacre.

This war is coming to an end in a very short period of time.

Countless evil soul masters roared past the battlefield, grinning almost madly, and used various methods to contain the death energy and absorb souls.

War is a feast for evil soul masters and a carnival for evil martial spirits.

The more soldiers who died in battle and the more strong men who fell, the more beneficial it would be for their cultivation.

It can be said that as the war progresses, the power of the Holy Spirit Cult will also grow.

Therefore, the strategy set by Emperor Tianhun was actually very effective.

If you don't resist vigorously, you can run away if you can't beat them, or you can retreat to a nearby city and start another city defense battle.

The remaining army gradually retreated towards Tiandou City, striving to suppress the death toll to a minimum and not give the Holy Spirit Cult a chance to snowball.

According to the plan, the people in the suburbs all converged into the city, strictly implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, and at the same time closed the city and did not leave.

Now that the autumn harvest has passed, the fields are empty.

The few livestock were also taken away.

According to Orange's fighting method and the previously set rule plan, even if the Sun and Moon Army does not need such a thing as a supply line, they will continue to be hindered by nails one after another.

Why don't they go around it, you ask?

Because what the Sun and Moon Empire wants is rule, territory, population, and cities.

What's the use of just conquering Tiandou City?

What the Sun Moon Empire wants is to gradually encroach on the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire and annex it into its own.

Only by knocking down the city, replacing the rulers with one's own people, and transforming the people into one's own people can it be considered as being included in the territory.

Therefore, no matter how rubbish the small town is, the Sun and Moon Empire can only pull it out one by one.

The plan Qian Chaoguang provided worked.

This extremely effectively slowed down the advancement of the Sun and Moon Empire.

In the original work, the Heavenly Soul Empire was completely led by the Sun and Moon Empire.

Retreat, dare not retreat.

Fight, but dare not fight.

Emperor Tianhun, who lacked information, did not have the courage to drag the entire empire into ruins.

But it's different now.

With Qian Chaoguang as the leader and the strength of the whole country, the Tianhun Empire brought huge trouble to the Sun and Moon Empire and seriously hindered the speed of breakthrough.

They were originally scheduled to take down Tiandou City in half a month, but now it is the tenth day since they broke through the border of Tianhun Empire, and they have not even taken down half of the western border.

Except for a few cities near the border that were too late to react, the Tianhun Empire's enthusiasm in fighting the invaders was unprecedentedly high, and they were extremely cooperative.

Every time the army of the sun and moon arrived, no village could provide them with supplies. All the villagers had withdrawn into the city with their livestock, supplies and production means.

Even now, Orange is already considering whether to activate the supply force that was prepared in advance.

There is no way around this.

After entering the city, they even discovered that the granaries in various cities had been cleared out in advance.

Probably all of them were distributed to the people.

If they wanted to continue this war by relying on war to support war, they would either rob the people of their food rations, or they would have to attack wealthy nobles.

This damaging move was naturally proposed by Qian Chaoguang to Emperor Tianhun, and he specially gave various nobles in the city a large share of supplies.

Don’t you, the Sun and Moon Empire, want to win over the nobles and the people with the help of soul guides in order to achieve the assimilation of conspiracy and boiled frogs in warm water?

Well now, it’s your choice.

Should you choose the nobles and sect families with a very small number of people and seemingly strong strength, or the people with a large number of people but seemingly low strength?

Choose the people, and you have a problem that you need to worry about now, and your rule will suffer a huge backlash.

If you choose Noble, you will have a huge long-term hidden danger that will explode at some point.

This difficult decision made Orange feel frustrated.

The conspiracy that was originally unsolvable was suddenly broken in half, and even defeated her army.

Of course, there is a reason why Qian Chaoguang knew the script in advance.

But in the final analysis, what makes Orange uncomfortable lies in the execution ability of the people at the bottom.

Even Qian Chaoguang himself, who proposed the idea, did not expect that the people of the Tianhun Empire could cooperate to this extent.

A large number of livestock were killed at will.

If you go to the city, you can go to the city, and you can live in whatever housing is assigned to you.

Even the owners of the assigned houses rarely show up to express their opinions.

It can only be said that the cohesion and patriotic sentiment of the people of the Tianhun Empire are quite good.

Without this cohesion and execution, even if Qian Chaoguang proposed a solution, it would be a complete joke - it would not be implemented at all, so what's the use of the solution no matter how good it is?

In just a few days, the entire Tianhun Empire was like a giant hedgehog.

After waking up in a very short period of time, they all shrank back into their impregnable shells covered with spikes.

The Sun and Moon Empire is like the leopard that forces the hedgehog into a corner.

You can eat it easily, but it's very irritating.

In this city where the war had just ended, the army of the Sun and Moon Empire began to take over the work in an orderly manner after cleaning the battlefield.

The original defenders on the city wall were accepting prisoners of the Sun and Moon army in an orderly manner.

Yes, you heard it right, taking prisoners in an orderly manner.

Qian Chaoguang's idea for Emperor Tianhun was this: after the city defense battle begins, throw out all the long-range weapons that can be used to delay as much time as possible.

Wait for the Sun and Moon Empire to open the city gates and then surrender directly.

Ordinary people and sporadic soul masters should just give up when facing the soul master army. They should not suffer unnecessary casualties and save their lives as much as possible.

The more people who survive, the more troublesome it will be for the Sun and Moon Empire to rule.

The more troops they dedicate, the smaller the main force will be.

Maybe after the 300,000-strong army reaches Tiandou City, only a few hundred thousand will be left?

Therefore, these city-defending soldiers no longer held on after firing long-range weapons.

Instead, they followed the instructions issued from above and simply waited for the city to surrender, thus minimizing casualties and preserving their strength.

The military strength of the Sun and Moon Empire cannot maintain the rule of every city, and it must rely on the original defenders to maintain order.

The more soldiers who defend the city are left, the more soldiers the Sun and Moon Army will dedicate to maintain order.

In addition, what they need is the population and the city itself, not a bare dead land.

Therefore, even if the city is broken, the Sun and Moon Empire troops will not massacre, burn, kill, and loot the city—unless their brains are kicked by a donkey, or they just want to fight and run away.

Under such circumstances, after ten days of fighting, they had left tens of thousands of soldiers behind to guard and manage the captured city.

Orange arrived at the city lord's mansion surrounded by a group of senior generals.

The three great protectors of the country, the Imperial Dragon, the Fire Phoenix, and the Terror Claw, as well as the most powerful Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group, were among the leaders and deputy leaders of the four soul engineer groups.

Nearly half of the originally luxurious City Lord's Mansion was reduced to rubble in the aftermath of the battle.

Many engineers from the Sun Moon Empire and evil soul masters from the Holy Spirit Sect were busy on the ruins.

One party cleans the battlefield and clears away garbage.

One side recycles corpses and devours souls.

in a sense

The battle with the participation of the Holy Spirit Cult prevented the occurrence of the plague.

The main hall of the City Lord's Mansion has not yet collapsed.

Now, sitting on the main seat in this hall is a middle-aged man with an old and resolute face.

Nearly half of the soul guide armor on the middle-aged man's body had been shattered, and his body was covered with wounds of all sizes.

Several soul engineers pointed their soul guides at him, and they could know his life at any time.

"Are you the lord of this city?" an officer asked.

The middle-aged man raised his eyes and glanced at him, his eyes full of ridicule, and turned his head to the side.

Orange waved his hand directly.

The soul engineer on the side suddenly understood and pulled the middle-aged man out.

Then there was a buzz of soul-guiding rays outside the hall.

We have seen this kind of situation too much, and it will happen in almost every city we go to.

The defenders may surrender, but the city lord will not.

They either died outright in battle or were captured without saying a word and had to be disposed of.

At this time, a soldier ran in in small steps: "Report, Marshal, all the officials in the city have disappeared, and the granaries in the city are empty."

Although Orange had already expected this situation, he still clenched his fists and felt aggrieved.

Every time he visited a city, most of the city's leadership would disappear without a trace, leaving only the city lord and a handful of officials.

It is not known whether the disappeared person is dead or has escaped, or is hiding in the city without showing up.

This situation forced the Sun and Moon Empire to allocate more energy and send officials to take over matters in the city.

What is even more annoying is that the Tianhun Empire even burned down the household registration department, archives and other places in the city, leaving no files for the Sun and Moon Empire.

What is left to the Sun-Moon Empire army will always be an "empty BC city" without any information.

This move really made the officials of the Sun and Moon Empire who came to take over later feel like they had no idea where to start, so they could only start from the beginning bit by bit.

As for the granary

Orange sighed: "Let everything continue as usual, don't attack the civilians, ransack the homes of the nobles in the city, and use them as supplies to replenish the army's consumption."

In the end, she chose to take action on the noble.

Think about it, if you take advantage of the nobles, you can offend the fewest people and accomplish the most things.

In addition, Orange himself was born as a commoner and had no favorable impressions of nobles.

It is reasonable to make such a decision.

The Heavenly Soul Empire's move to stop the movement with silence has already involved nearly twice as much energy from the Sun and Moon Empire as originally planned.

Now, based on the idea that doing more is worse than doing less, Orange is focusing all its energy on how to advance this matter quickly.

"yes!"

The messenger loudly agreed and left quickly.

After the messengers left, a close confidant of Orange came forward and asked in a low voice: "Marshal, if we keep doing this, I'm afraid it will have an impact on the future rule. If it continues like this, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the country."

Orange glanced at him and asked calmly: "Then do you have any better solution? The Tianhun Empire left this mess to us, but we have to continue."

"Without plundering the nobles, the army will be unable to move forward. By plundering the civilians, the hidden dangers of future rule will be even greater! I have to say that the person who formulated this strategy really gave us a huge problem."

As she spoke, she looked at the officer in charge of intelligence and asked, "What's the situation inside the city we occupied earlier?"

"Not very optimistic." The intelligence officer had a heavy look on his face. "The nobles and sect members have all been temporarily under guard as per your request, but they showed great resistance."

"Because of this, our work of integrating sects and big families is progressing very slowly. They are worried that we will kill the donkeys. Except for a few, no sect has turned to our side yet."

"Hmph! These idiots."

A flash of evil spirit suddenly flashed across Orange's face.

"Pick a few of the tough ones who are pretending to be tough, and kill them directly to scare the monkeys. The real tough ones have long since died along with those city lords, but they just want to get more benefits. Do you really think that the Sun and Moon Empire is doing this? Isn’t it charity?”

"But Marshal, doing this may further intensify the conflict."

The intelligence officer replied somewhat worriedly, with a full look of sadness on his face.

As the person in charge with first-hand information, he is naturally the person who knows the current situation best.

"I just received news from the country that the nobles in the country have shown a certain degree of fear towards our actions. If we continue, I'm afraid."

"You don't need to worry about that."

An evil female voice drifted in from outside the door.

A graceful figure floated in, carrying a large amount of bloody aura and bursts of coldness.

Who is Fengling, the deputy leader of the Holy Spirit Religion?

"Our holy religion will naturally take care of those idiot nobles in the country. The marshal only needs to do what he wants. Your Majesty and the leader are both waiting for good news from the marshal."

Fengling's words were ordinary and her tone was very flat.

But just this simple sentence made everyone present feel shuddering.

A fierce murderous aura seemed to disappear from the house.

Just because of this simple sentence, I don’t know how many heads have fallen to the ground.

"Report."

At this moment, another soldier ran over quickly.

Compared with the previous soldier, this soldier was obviously not so anxious and seemed much more calm and leisurely.

Orange said calmly: "Speak."

"Reporting to the marshal, as you expected, the mysterious Eternal God Religion has appeared again. Their followers are generally ordinary people, and the few followers are not very high in cultivation."

"The behavior pattern of the churchgoers we encountered in other cities is the same. They are not afraid of our soldiers and are still helping us appease the people."

"Apart from."

"Except they still won't tell us where the officials and the food are?"

Orange sneered, already mentally prepared for this.

"Yes, Marshal." The soldier nodded, "Even if we threaten them with death, they just show a weird smile and say that their life is eternal and will always be shrouded in light. Even if they die, You will also receive eternal life in the Kingdom of God.”

Orange waved his hand: "Okay, don't pay attention to these nagging guys. Urge the members of the collection team to complete the supply replenishment and troop division as soon as possible. We need to speed up."

"Yes!" the soldier replied loudly.

(A fever of 40 degrees, no sun, I spent the whole day in discomfort and confusion, and there were not a few chapters left to save, so I was numb)
