Chapter 417: The Sun-Moon Empire is demoralized, Xu Tianran is dumbfounded

As the news spread, the atmosphere within the Sun and Moon Empire became extremely heavy.

Xu Tianran's men, the counselors and generals who were once loyal to him, have now lost their fighting spirit one by one, and their hearts have become disorganized.

In every corner of the empire, soldiers whispered to each other and discussed the uncertainty of the future.

Many of them began to doubt whether it was really wise to follow Xu Tianran against Shrek Academy and Lei Dong.

The power displayed by Lei Dong was so amazing that even the bravest warriors began to feel fear.

In the main hall, Xu Tianran's advisers sat together, but their discussion became lifeless.

Where once they advised for the good of the Empire, now their words are filled with hesitation and uncertainty.

"Your Highness, although our army is strong, do we really have a chance against an opponent like Lei Dong?"

There was a clear tremor in the voice of one of the counselors.

Another general shook his head in frustration.

"Our soldiers have begun to lose confidence. If we don't believe we can win, then we have already lost this war."

Xu Tianran sat on the throne and listened to their conversation, his heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

He knew that if a solution was not found soon, the entire empire would be thrown into chaos.

"We have to find a way, a way to counter the thunder."

There was a trace of despair in Xu Tianran's voice.

However, his counselors and generals could only respond with silence.

In the face of an existence like Lei Dong, any conventional tactics and strategies are useless.

At Shrek Academy, Lei Dong knew the internal situation of the Sun and Moon Empire very well.

Xu Tianran's power has begun to waver, and this is the opportunity he has been waiting for.

"Lord Lei Dong, the morale of the Sun and Moon Empire has been low. Should we take advantage of the opportunity to take action?"

Moon asked, determination flashing in his eyes.

Lei shook his head, with a hint of depth in his eyes.

"No, now is not the time. What we need is a complete solution to the problem, not just winning a battle."

Moon nodded, he understood what Lei Dong meant.

"So, what should we do next?"

Lei Dong stood up and looked through the window into the distance.

"We need to formulate a plan, a plan that can completely change the structure of Douluo Continent."

In the Sun and Moon Empire, Xu Tianran sat alone in the main hall, his heart full of anxiety.

He knew that he had to act quickly, otherwise the entire empire would fall into irreversible crisis.

"Come here, convey my order and summon all loyal generals and counselors. We must discuss countermeasures immediately."

There was a hint of determination in his voice, even though he was still filled with unease.

Xu Tianran sat in the empty hall, waiting for the arrival of loyal generals and counselors.

Time passed minute by minute, and the hall was still empty, except for his shadow, which was lengthened by the candlelight.

He began to feel an ominous premonition, and the anxiety in his heart gradually turned into uneasiness.

"Somebody come!"

Xu Tianran's voice echoed in the hall, but no one responded.

He called again, with a hint of trembling in his voice, "Here comes someone! Why is no one answering?"

Still, there was only silence.

Xu Tianran stood up, his hands clenching the armrests of the throne, his knuckles turning pale from exertion.

He began to pace in the hall, feeling increasingly uneasy.

"Could it be..."

Xu Tianran's voice was low, and he did not dare to continue thinking.

He began to realize that he might actually have become separated from his family.

He once thought that with his own power and means, he could control everyone, but now, he found that he was wrong.

Xu Tianran walked out of the hall and came to the courtyard outside.

The night was dark and the stars were dim, as if even the sky was laughing at his helplessness.

He looked around and found that the soldiers who were supposed to be guarding here were also missing.

"How is this possible?"

Xu Tianran murmured to himself, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.

He began to search around, hoping to find even one loyal subordinate, but the entire palace was empty, only the sound of his footsteps echoed.

Finally, Xu Tianran stopped, his eyes becoming empty. He realized that he had lost everything.

Those who once surrounded him, those who once obeyed his orders, have now left him.

"Why is this happening?"

There was a hint of despair in Xu Tianran's voice, he could not accept this reality.

He was once the controller of the Sun and Moon Empire, but now he has become so lonely.

Xu Tianran sat dejectedly on the steps, his head buried deeply between his hands.

He began to reflect on what he had done, and how ridiculous and empty his former ambitions and desires now seemed.

"Perhaps I brought all this on myself."

There was a hint of bitterness in Xu Tianran's voice. He finally accepted the reality and the fact that he had betrayed all his relatives.

At Shrek Academy, Lei Dong, Moon and others learned about the situation of the Sun and Moon Empire. They knew that Xu Tianran's rule had come to an end.

"Lord Lei Dong, it seems that Xu Tianran has lost everyone's support."

Moon said, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Lei shook his head, with a hint of depth in his eyes.

"This is the path he chose and now he has to face the consequences."

Moon nodded, knowing that Lei Dong was telling the truth.

"So, what should we do next?"

"No rush!"

Lei Dong stood on the high tower of Shrek Academy, his gaze penetrated the night sky, as if he could see the turmoil of the Sun and Moon Empire in the distance.

His posture was calm, like that of an angler, patiently waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Lei Dong was full of curiosity about Xu Tianran's possible next move.

"Xu Tianran, what path will you choose?"

Lei Dong whispered to himself, with a hint of playfulness in his voice.

Moon stood beside Lei Dong, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Lord Lei Dong, Xu Tianran has no way out. Will he jump over the wall in a hurry?"

Lei Dong smiled slightly, his eyes shining with wisdom.

"When a dog jumps over the wall, sometimes it will reveal its flaws. Let's just wait and see how he struggles."

Moon nodded, he was confident in Lei Dong's judgment.

"Yes, Lord Lei Dong, we all obey your arrangements."

Lei Dong's eyes looked into the distance again, and he knew that Xu Tianran's mood must be very complicated at the moment.

A once-high ruler suddenly loses everything. This gap is enough to drive anyone crazy.

"Xu Tianran, will you choose to fight back, or will you choose to escape?"

Lei Dong thought to himself. (End of chapter)
