Chapter 401 Rush to the aid of Jialing Pass

"What did you say!" Xue Ye stood up, patting the table with wide eyes.

"Say it again!" Xue Ye shouted hoarsely, looking at the messenger below.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The messenger suppressed his fear, "The Soul Burial Pass has been breached by the Wuhun Palace."

"How can this be?"

"The Soul Burial Pass is guarded by the most well-equipped army in our Tiandou Empire besides the Tiandou defenders. How could it be lost?"

"Yes, you must know that Soul Burial Pass is guarded by 200,000 elite troops. This is nearly one-fifth of our Tiandou Empire's army."

The ministers standing on both sides were talking a lot. This news was really shocking to them.

Although Tiandou is corrupt, everyone knows the importance of the Soul Burial Pass. It is the first line of external defense of the Tiandou Empire. Once it is lost, the Tiandou Empire will lose nearly a thousand kilometers of land.

"Stop arguing!" Xue Ye looked at the noisy ministers below, frowned and slapped the table and yelled.

"I ask you, when did this happen?" What needs to be clarified most now is when Wuhun Palace began to attack Soul Burial Pass.

"Half, half a month ago."

Half a month ago, just a few days after the establishment of the Wuhun Empire was announced, the Wuhun Palace attacked so quickly.

"Your Majesty." Marshal Ge Long stood up. His expression was not good-looking. The Wuhun Palace was coming fiercely. How could he let this person run back from Soul Burial Pass to deliver information to the rear?

"I request that this person be killed!"

"My lies are misleading the people and trying to disturb the morale of our army!" Ge Long said solemnly, clasping his fists at Xue Ye. As the marshal of an empire, he knew exactly what Wuhundian planned to do, in order to cause chaos in their rear areas.

When the time comes, it will be very easy for Wuhun Palace to take over the Tiandou Empire. After all, not everyone can face death calmly.

"The marshal is right." Xue Ye is not a fool. He also knows what Ge Long means. Wuhun Palace has a vicious heart!

"Come here, drag him down and kill him!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Everything I said is true!"

The messenger was dragged down by the guards.

At this time, the atmosphere in the main hall seemed a bit solemn. This was the biggest crisis for the Tiandou Empire in hundreds of years. If it was not handled well, the Tiandou Empire would become history, and they would be the kings and ministers of the country's subjugation!

"My dear friends."

"The wolfish ambitions of the Wuhun Palace attempt to subvert the legitimate rule of our Heaven Dou Empire on this land. This move should be regarded as the beginning of going against heaven and destroying the continent. Our Tiandou Palace will lead the empire to resist the atrocities of the Wuhun Empire. The entire empire will never surrender to the Spirit Empire!"

Xue Ye stood on the high platform and criticized the Wuhun Empire's atrocities, while the ministers below all showed indignation on their faces.

However, it is unclear how much of this is true and how much is just a joke.

Xue Ye looked at the courtiers below and nodded secretly in his heart. At least these people were still trying to save face.

"Gelong loves you."

"I'm here!"

"I order you to integrate the army and go to Jialing Pass. You must block the Wuhun Palace outside Jialing Pass!" Xue Ye walked down the high platform to Ge Long and patted him heavily on the shoulder. This is the person with the highest soul power in the Tiandou court, and he is also the most loyal to the royal family.

Jialing Pass is the last pass of the Tiandou Empire. If even this is taken away by the Wuhun Palace, then the hinterland of the Tiandou Empire will be completely opened to the Wuhun Empire, and even Tiandou City will be threatened.

"I swear to defend Jialing Pass to the death!"

"Come here, I have surrounded the Wuhun Temple in the city! I allow you to use all means when necessary!"

The Tiandou Empire claims to have one million troops. In addition to the 500,000 elite troops guarding the border, there are also 500,000 troops stationed in various places near Tiandou City, plus the 100,000 forbidden troops of the Tiandou royal family. Coupled with the private soldiers in the noble territories of various places, the Tiandou royal family can raise another million-strong army in a short period of time.

Xue Ye spent a lot of money this time. In addition to the imperial army and the 100,000 Tiandou garrison, the rest of the army was handed over to Ge Long. Xue Ye even ordered nobles from all over the country to contribute.

In order to ensure that these nobles can contribute, Xue Ye specifically said to them, think about the Pope's methods. If you fall into their hands, will you still have a way to survive?

After receiving Xue Ye's order, Ge Long integrated the army at the fastest speed in his life, and then marched towards Jialing Pass.

Now Ge Long can only hope that the defenders at Jialing Pass can hold on for a little longer until they arrive.

But at this time, Jialing Pass has been replaced. The Wuhun Empire captured this place a day ago and is currently resting in the pass.

As for the information that Ge Long led the army to Jialing Pass, people here have long known it. Although the Wuhun Temple was surrounded by Wuhun Temple on a snowy night, Salas had already run away with his people, but he couldn't stand the thought of others giving him the information. The Spirit Empire sent information.

"Comrades, let's eat up an army right here."

Yue Guan looked at the people beside him with his smooth chin. This is the last army with combat effectiveness in the Tiandou Empire. If it can be captured, then the Tiandou Empire will not be any threat.

"Then we will create some illusions. These people are marching in a hurry. I believe their vigilance must not be high. At that time, we can ambush some people on both sides of the road. After Marshal Gelong leads his troops into the city, we will come directly. It’s good to close the door and beat the dog.”

"Bury some flammable materials on the road, otherwise it will not be easy for so many troops to fight."

"In that case, let's get ready. After eating this army, the Tiandou Empire will be almost finished. By then, maybe we can go to Xingluo to share another share of the war effort."

The war situation in Xingluo is progressing very slowly. Even if the general is killed, the remaining troops will still not surrender. There were even suicide bombs there, the kind where some low-level soul masters blew themselves up before they died, which was very tragic.

The Wuhundian Corps' execution ability was very strong, and some people immediately came outside the city to start setting up traps. At the same time, there were dozens of flying soul masters flying towards the hinterland of the Tiandou Empire to look for Ge Long's army.

Finally, Ge Long's vanguard was seen three days later. Following these people for a few days, the flying soul master returned to Jialing Pass.

At this time, everything in Jialing Pass was ready, just waiting for Ge Long to jump inside.

"Quick! Quick! Faster!"

Ge Long stood on the chariot, constantly urging the soldiers to speed up. They were getting closer and closer to Jialing Pass. Ge Long also sent out a lot of scouts. He was afraid that a martial spirit would suddenly pop out while walking on the road. The men from the palace attacked him.

"We will arrive at Jialing Pass soon!"

"Think about your family. Once the Wuhun Palace breaks through Jialing Pass, your family will be completely exposed to the iron hoof of the Wuhun Palace. Your family will be humiliated, your family property will be robbed, and you will be punished by the Wuhun Palace. Oppression. Think of your families!"

Listening to Ge Long's words, the soldiers who were originally weak in physical strength broke out again and accelerated their marching speed again.

Getting closer and closer to Jialing Pass, Ge Long could even smell the smell of blood in the air. The faint sound of fighting came, and Ge Long's face was full of solemnity.

Jialing Pass can be defended until now, but there must not be many defenders in the city. If it had been a few days later, Jialing Pass might have changed hands directly.
