Chapter 1256: Poseidon’s power?
“Yes, when they disappeared, they obviously went out to sea.
However, this time, they had some great adventure from overseas, and their overall strength skyrocketed.
Now they have made a comeback, taking advantage of the chaos within the empire to seize entire provinces.
According to my observation, all the bad elements of the nobles were strangled, and most of the nobles were overthrown. Now the province is ruled by a completely different political system. "
When Emperor Xue Ye heard that it was an invasion by a foreign regime, his entire brain froze and he was unable to digest this information quickly.
“Don’t they know the situation on the mainland?
How could we, who are blessed by the gods, be invaded by foreign enemies without reason?"
Since the news had not been leaked, he could not imagine that there would be a force invading the Tiandou Empire.
Dugu Bo replied solemnly: "I don't know the specific reason, but I think there must be another god behind this.
Perhaps, Senior Tang Chen’s disappearance may have a lot to do with the forces behind them.”
Dugu Bo revealed some of his own guesses.
This immediately caused all kinds of speculations from Emperor Xue Ye.
"god?
Quan family, Hanhai City.
"The Vast Ocean"
The words come to mind and connect with each other.
Emperor Xue Ye suddenly raised his head and said, “Sea God.
Could it be that the power of the sea god is hidden behind the Quan family?"
Dugu Bo was surprised at Emperor Xue Ye's unusually quick reaction.
"Oh, how do you say this?"
Emperor Xue Ye said with an unpleasant expression:
"Does the guest still remember the Vast Sea Universe Cover?"
"I remember."
“According to the secret of the royal family, this artifact came from the sea, and the name of Hanhai City was also derived from this artifact.
Although I didn't believe this rumor before, based on my experience over the years, it may be true.
Poseidon, that artifact is most likely a gift from Poseidon."
Information about Poseidon is recorded in the ancient royal books.
In addition, they also have people sailing on the ocean, and they have also heard some of the legends of the sea god circulating on the ocean.
Now Dugu Bo pointed this out to him, making him instantly aware of the existence of the Sea God.
"Could it be that someone in the Quan family has achieved the status of Sea God, and then, seeing the chaotic situation on the continent, wants to intervene and gain more faith?
But they have the help of gods, and can obviously invade on a large scale.
After all, the fact that the Asura God's protection no longer exists should have been exposed to them."
Emperor Xue Ye's brain was working rapidly, gradually approaching the "truth".
"The sudden disappearance of Shura God, and the sudden invasion of the Sea God's forces.
Perhaps something happened between the two gods that we cannot know.
Could it be that the two gods were unable to overpower each other and reached some kind of stalemate or agreement, allowing their forces to attack each other?"
Dugu Bo also admired Emperor Xue Ye for being able to figure out so many things in such a short time.
What's more terrifying is that some of them are indeed as he speculated.
At least he did guess right that the Quan family had a new sea god.
He recalled his communication with Quan Li. He didn't expect that in just less than a dozen years, the little girl would actually become the god of the sea.
That’s right, after completing the first eight tests, Quan Niu quickly accepted the ninth test to inherit the Sea God, successfully inherited the throne of Sea God, and became the new Sea God.
In fact, Quan Niu became the first one among the Quanhuo families to achieve the status of a god.
Back to the point, Dugu Bo followed the words of Emperor Xue Ye and responded: "Then how can we confirm this speculation?"
Emperor Xue Ye smiled and said, “It’s very simple, the guest official has confirmed this speculation for us.
If there is divine intervention, the guest officials will never be able to evacuate safely.
Just like how all our exploration personnel for the Wuhun Empire were pulled out by Qian Renxue, even if we are guest officials, we will never be able to escape unscathed when facing the Sea God."
They had similar experiences, so they knew very well what it felt like to be forbidden to peek at the gods.
Dugu Bo suddenly realized.
"Yes, I forgot that.
If there were a god watching over me, I would definitely be discovered.
Now that I can return to Tiandou safely, it must be because the gods are not here, or as Your Majesty said, an agreement has been reached between the two gods."
Emperor Xue Ye was in high spirits as his inference was recognized, and he deduced the subsequent possibilities.
“Since God Shura is not missing, then he is doing this because he believes that we have the ability to fight back.
The threat from Hanhai City must not be very big.
Finally, if you want to completely confirm the accuracy of the speculation, there is no more effective way than to actually send troops.
Keqing, based on your investigation, how strong is the Quan family?"
Dugu Bo originally wanted to use the name of God to persuade Emperor Xue Ye to retreat, but he didn't expect it would come to this.
Dugu Bo, who felt the power of destiny at work, did not persuade them, but said truthfully: "Very strong, at least one of them is a peerless expert of the same level as me.
In terms of high-level combat power, there is not much difference between the two sides."
"We should have an absolute advantage in terms of middle and lower-level combat power."
This is easy to understand without further explanation.
"Well, I will gather all the ministers and seriously consider sending troops."
Emperor Xue Ye was so anxious to send troops, besides recovering territory, there was a more important reason.
That is to transfer internal conflicts to the outside world through war.
The conflict between the internal nobles and the sect forces became increasingly intensified.
He himself could most clearly feel the sect's power gradually drifting away from the center.
Lately, even the aristocracy has begun to feel dissatisfied with him.
In particular, this restless group that was seeking to expand its power and influence also saw the discord between the sect forces and the royal family, and began to use this as an excuse to put more pressure on Emperor Xue Ye, or to demand more benefits.
Now, in this situation, if the Quan family appears, it will give him the opportunity to reunite his forces and regain power.
Therefore, even though he knew that there were great risks in coming into conflict with forces associated with the God of the Sea, he still had to take the risk.
This political beast is only thinking about its own power and has never given a thought to the lives of the lower classes.
Soon, all the high-level officials in charge gathered together after a long absence, and under the chairmanship of Emperor Xue Ye, began to discuss the crusade against the Quan family.
When the aristocratic forces heard that there was a chance to make military achievements, or even to get their hands on this territory that had been completely wiped out of the original aristocratic forces, their eyes flashed with greedy green light.
In comparison, the sect forces are slightly different. Apart from the victory rewards promised by Emperor Xue Ye, they cannot refuse the righteous cause of resisting foreign enemies.
The reason why they were able to gain their current support and status was because they jointly resisted the Wuhun Empire, the biggest external enemy.
If they refused this, they would be digging their own graves. Not only would they be ridiculed by the nobles, but the status of the sect would also be shaken.
Furthermore, they also sensed a certain distance between each other and wanted to mend their relationship.
