Chapter 165 Bad news on the battlefield
In addition, there is really no place in the entire Douluo Continent where the light element is particularly strong.
If such a place really exists, it will definitely become a gathering place for light attribute soul beasts. It is impossible for human soul masters not to know about such a place.
The place where the meteor fell is Douluo Star. Although Douluo Continent is the center of Douluo Star, it is not the only land.
Therefore, it is possible that the inheritance of the God of Light’s throne is outside Douluo Continent.
Lin Rong turned the Thor's Hammer in his hand and thought:
"It doesn't matter if you can't find it. The inheritance of the God of Light will appear sooner or later. If an outsider gets it, the worst they can do is snatch it away."
……
Half a month later.
Lin Rong returned to Tiandou City in a carriage rented from Longcheng.
The carriage was driving on the street. Lin Rong looked at the scene outside the carriage through the window. For some reason, he felt a sense of violation that was different from usual.
"Master, is there anything wrong with the scene outside?" Yun Hui, who had just surrendered to Lin Rong yesterday, noticed the change in his expression and asked curiously:
"This is my first time seeing such a beautiful city, but the atmosphere here seems to be inexplicably depressing."
Hearing this, Lin Rong explained to Yun Hui:
"On weekdays, during this time, there should be more than ten times the number of people on the street."
"And..."
Looking at the patrolling soldiers walking in the distance on the street, Lin Rong continued to preach:
"The laws of Tiandou City stipulate that there are five patrol soldiers in a team, but now there are actually twenty-five people in a team, and all of them are fully armed."
"For an imperial capital to restrict the flow of people and put the entire city under martial law, something big must have happened."
"The only big thing in the empire recently is the battle with those pirates in the Western Province."
"Could it be that Bo Saixi took action and caused the Empire and Spirit Hall to suffer a huge defeat?"
Lin Rong half explained and half guessed the last few words.
The carriage drove through the empty streets and soon arrived in front of the Duke's Palace.
"My lord." A chief guard guarding the door of the Duke's Palace saw Lin Rong getting out of the carriage and immediately stepped forward to salute.
"This is a letter secretly sent from the Qibao Glazed Sect. Please read it, sir."
Lin Rong took the letter from the captain of the guard, opened it and walked inside.
Behind him, the old housekeeper turned around and motioned Yun Hui to follow him with his eyes, then quickened his pace and walked to his young master's side, following him leisurely.
"Sea Soul Beast?"
Lin Rong quickly read the letter in his hand and handed it to the old housekeeper beside him.
"Because it is a war on land, we have ignored this."
"There are many large rivers in the Western Province that are connected to the ocean. Sea spirit beasts can completely enter the depths of the Western Province from the ocean."
"Although the character of the first generation Poseidon is not easy to evaluate, more than 70% of the sea spirit beasts in the Douluo Star Ocean believe in Poseidon."
"Seven sea soul beasts with at least 100,000 years of cultivation join forces with the Seven Holy Pillar Douluo of Poseidon to attack the Wuhun Palace and the nine titled Douluo sent by Tiandou."
"Except for Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei, who survived, the other five titled Douluo all died." "The Wuhun Palace lost five titled Douluo at once, and now Bibi Dong I’m afraid he was so angry that he vomited blood and died.”
But just the loss of five titled Douluo in Wuhun Palace was not enough to impose martial law in Tiandou City far north of the mainland.
This time, in addition to attacking high-end combat forces, the Poseidon Empire also launched a sneak attack on the 200,000-strong army in the Fasno Provincial Military District.
Just like last time, there was also a flood, causing the entire military camp to be submerged in the water, and no one in the 200,000-strong army was spared.
Fortunately, Jialing Pass is far away and the 100,000 troops are still on their way.
Otherwise, the 100,000 troops led by Ge Long would probably end up with the same fate as the 200,000 troops in the Fasno Provincial Military Region.
After losing two major military regions, the Western Province and the Fasnuo Province, only five of the seven military regions were left, and only one million troops were left out of the 1.4 million troops.
The Poseidon Empire also took advantage of this victorious momentum and attacked the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom.
As for why they did not continue to invade the territory of the Tiandou Empire, there were many reasons.
The Poseidon Empire has not yet fully digested the territory of the Western Province. Continuing to invade the Tiandou Empire will only make the Tiandou royal family choose to burn everything.
Attacking the Kingdom of Haagen-Dazs was different.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Although the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom is a subsidiary kingdom of Tiandou, it is essentially an independent country that has separated from Tiandou, not the territory of the Tiandou Empire.
Moreover, you have to be cautious. The Kingdom of Haagen-Dazs does not have the strength to confront the Poseidon Empire, and its territory is in line with the Poseidon Empire. Naturally, it is the best choice to expand the empire's territory.
After reading the letter, the old housekeeper sighed and said:
"Countless sea soul beasts are swimming in the major rivers of the Western Province. If we can't figure out a way to deal with these sea soul beasts, the Western Province may not be able to get them back."
"Tiandou and Wuhundian suffered heavy losses this time, and we don't know how long it will take before the next clarion call for counterattack is sounded."
This time, Tiandou and Wuhun Palace assembled a total of 300,000 troops and nine titled Douluo. As a result, the battle failed under the enemy's sneak attack before it even started.
No one in the 200,000-strong army was spared, and five of the nine titled Douluo died.
If such bad news were to spread, it would definitely cause panic and even turmoil among the people, and it would also cause the Tiandou royal family and Wuhun Palace to lose face.
Therefore, under the joint blockade of Tiandou Royal Family and Wuhun Palace, the number of people who knew the news was extremely limited. Even in Tiandou City, there were no more than ten nobles who knew the news.
Moreover, the Poseidon Empire's unreasonable sneak attack made Emperor Xueye very scared. He was afraid that the other party would carry out a beheading operation, so he traveled thousands of miles to Tiandou City to assassinate him, the Emperor.
In order to protect his own life, Xue Ye stationed half of the Royal Knights in the palace around the clock.
As a result, Tiandou City is under martial law, reducing residents' movement, and increasing the number and frequency of patrols.
When Lin Rong entered the city just now, his carriage was stopped by the city gate guard. He was required to show his hereditary duke identity token and prove his identity before he could enter the city smoothly.
He had only been out for less than a month, but the situation on the mainland had changed as if decades had passed.
Walking to the sofa in the living room and sitting down, Lin Rong took a cup of tea from the old butler and drank it in small sips.
Even though the situation in the mainland these days is unpredictable, the most important thing right now is to seize the time to cultivate your soul power to level 70.
More than half a month passed, and his soul power increased by half a level, from level sixty-eight and a half to level sixty-nine. He was only one level away from breaking through to level seventy, which he had been waiting for for a long time.
"In the next two months, even if something big happens outside the gate, I won't go out."
"Concentrate on your cultivation and wait until I break through to level 70 before doing anything else."
