Douluo: Starting from the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing.

At the break of dawn.

A solemn atmosphere shrouded Zhennan Pass.

Nearly 300,000 troops of the Wuhun Empire lined up in order, their fighting spirit high, their armor and weapons reflecting a cold glow under the sunlight.

"Your Highness, the Wuhun Empire has come out in full force. If we lose today, the Heaven Dou Empire will lose its last gateway. The empire will be destroyed at any moment. Your Highness and your sect will have nowhere to go. In today's battle, we must unite all our forces and must not fail."

From the majestic Zhennan Pass, overlooking the Wuhun Empire's army, Marshal Ge Long was shocked. He then looked at the handsome young man in front of him and said indifferently.

The man in front of him was naturally the current regent, His Highness King Lan Hao Tang San.

Since Tang San took power, he has been constantly eliminating dissidents in an attempt to completely control the Tiandou Empire.

Several major elemental academies and many nobles in the empire took a confrontational attitude, causing Tang San to fly into a rage and blood to flow in the imperial capital. Because of this, Tang San's control over the Tiandou Empire became unprecedentedly strong, but the purge of opposition forces never stopped.

However, now that we are faced with a powerful enemy, this is definitely not the time to attack our own people!

Hearing Marshal Ge Long's blunt words, Tang San did not get angry.

With his hands behind his back, he looked at the army of the Spirit Empire carefully, with purple light surging in his eyes, as if he wanted to see something from the army of the Spirit Empire.

With three hundred thousand elite soldiers, plus the laborers who transport baggage and equipment, the total number of troops of the Wuhun Empire is probably no less than one million!
The Wuhun Empire is coming with all its might!

After a moment, he slowly replied:

"Marshal Ge Long is overthinking. I have never attacked my own people. I was entrusted by the only bloodline of the empire, Empress Xue Ke, to take charge of the empire's government. It is legitimate!"

“But some people in the empire were bewitched by the Spirit Hall and started a rebellion, trying to overthrow the empire’s government. They are a group of traitors! If the Spirit Hall takes advantage of the opportunity to seize Zhennan Pass, they will never be able to atone for their sins even if they die a thousand times!”

Immediately, he slowly turned around, looked coldly at the Imperial Marshal whom he had to rely on, and said dimly:

"Marshal Ge Long, don't be deceived by those guys. You are the marshal of the empire, shouldering the responsibility of the empire. If you want to be like those guys, who can Queen Xue Ke rely on?"

Marshal Ge Long was startled and quickly knelt on one knee, saying in a panic:
"I dare not!"

Being stared at by Tang San's cold gaze, Marshal Ge Long seemed to see a sea of ​​blood and corpses. The cold murderous aura made his hands and feet go cold.

It was a little hard for him to believe. Although King Lan Hao was quite powerful, he was also a Soul Douluo-level warrior after all. How could he have such an absurd feeling?
Tang San helped Ge Long up with both hands. If it weren't for the fact that these soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire only recognized Ge Long, he would have replaced them with his own people. Only by replacing them with their own people, the Heaven Dou Empire would be able to work together and have a chance to stop the attack of the Spirit Empire and finally defeat the evil Spirit Hall.

This was also the case in the original novel. The original God Realm Council, the two great gods and the three commissioners eventually became the property of his Tang family.

The God of Destruction Tang Wulin, the God of Life Gu Yuena, and the Sea God Tang San who occupies the Shura throne, the strength of the God of Goodness Lieyan and the God of Evil Ji Dong are not enough to threaten Tang San's power.

Even the Dragon God that came later became a member of his Tang family.

"Marshal Ge Long, don't think too much. You are the pillar of the empire. We have to rely on you in this battle."

Tang San smiled gently, making people feel like spring breeze. Marshal Ge Long was a little dazed. It seemed that only by obeying King Lan Hao could the Heaven Dou Empire be saved.

"Your Highness, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Ge Long did not stand up, but knelt on one knee and said solemnly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ge Long stepped back with his sword in hand and began to inspect the defenses of Zhennan Pass.

"Xiao San, the Wuhun Empire is coming with great momentum, and it feels like we have to win everything in one battle. Although we have the advantage of terrain and have summoned all the top forces of the Tiandou Empire, according to the current strength shown by the Wuhun Empire, it is not enough to break through Zhennan Pass, but I always feel a little uneasy in my heart."

Seeing Ge Long leaving, Yu Xiaogang frowned and reminded him.

When Yu Xiaogang was speaking, Haotian Sect leader Tang Xiao and four Title Douluo-level elders all looked at Tang San. Even the Seventh Elder who had fallen from the Title Douluo realm and Tang Hao, who had lost his hands and feet, stood aside and were summoned to deal with this war.

Together with the golden triangle, the Tiandou Empire also has six Titled Douluo-level fighters.

"I feel the same way, Xiao San."

Tang Xiao took a step forward and said with a heavy face:

"In the past few days, I and several elders attacked the military camp of the Wuhun Empire at night, but we were all blocked by those people from the Wuhun Empire. But what is very strange is that they did not hold back in these battles, and seemed to be trying their best to keep us, not caring about their own consumption at all."

"Not only did our several night raids fail to achieve any results, but everyone was exhausted. Today's battle has added another variable."

"All these anomalies are telling us that this attack by the Wuhun Empire is extraordinary and will be unprecedentedly fierce!"

After hearing the reminders from his two elders, Tang San did not look back, but instead stared at the army of the Spirit Empire in a daze.

He could vaguely guess the reason why the Wuhun Empire took this risky attack.

The beast tide has started, and the Wuhun Empire must make a choice between continuing to attack the Tiandou Empire and returning to defend the Xingdou Great Forest. This risky attack is the last attempt made by the Wuhun Empire before leaving.

If this attack fails, the army of the Wuhun Empire will retreat, and it will be difficult to launch an attack like today for many years.

By then, after years of recuperation, the Tiandou Empire will regain the ability and opportunity to fight the Wuhun Empire. If he can seize this opportunity, he may be able to overthrow the evil power of the Wuhun Empire! Capture Dai Yao and find Xiao Wu again...

However, all of this is based on the premise that he successfully blocks the attack of the Wuhun Empire today.

"Teacher, what other cards do you think the other party has hidden?"

Tang San said slowly.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment and said firmly:

"According to the current situation, the Wuhun Empire needs to deploy one or two Titled Douluo in the direction of the Xingluo Empire. In Wuhun City, because of the fight between the Pope Palace and the Worship Palace, Bibi Dong will never dare to leave easily. She should also be accompanied by one or two Titled Douluo."

"In the past few years, the Pope's Palace has seen an endless stream of Titled Douluo. There are at least twelve Titled Douluo in existence."

"Therefore, there should be at least eight Titled Douluo in front of Zhennan Pass. But it is tantamount to a fool's dream for only eight Titled Douluo to suppress five His Majesties with Clear Sky Hammer spirits. Therefore, I infer that there should be ten Titled Douluo in front of Zhennan Pass."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, obviously agreeing with Yu Xiaogang's inference.

Even Tang San couldn't find any faults with Yu Xiaogang.

He is worthy of being the legendary Corner of Wisdom—Master Yu Xiaogang.

"Teacher, what you said is absolutely right. It's exactly what I thought, but I still have a concern."

Tang San exhaled slowly, then turned his head and looked towards the mountains in the west, as if he had crossed endless mountains and rivers and saw the distant seashore. A cold light flashed in his eyes.

Everyone was a little confused. Yu Xiaogang was slightly stunned, and immediately understood Tang San's concerns. He said uncertainly:

"Xiao San, you are not talking about Hanhai City, are you?"

Everyone suddenly remembered that there were two huge monsters hidden in Hanhai City.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, once the second-best sect in the world, and the rising star Qinglian Sect. Both are very powerful, with Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Poison Douluo, as well as the world's number one auxiliary spirit master Ning Fengzhi, and a Yang Wudi who can rival a Titled Douluo.

The strength of the high-level spirit masters is not weaker than that of their Tiandou Empire.

Once it joins one side, the situation on the mainland will be turned upside down.

More importantly, there is a taboo in the Qinglian Sect that no one wants to mention - Dai Yao.

Not long ago, he suddenly appeared in Tiandou City, and several Title Douluo joined forces, but they were unable to do anything to him. Although he was still at the Soul Douluo level, his terrifying strength was enough to keep even the 96th level Tang Xiao on guard.

Not only Dai Yao, but also the women around Dai Yao made them feel deeply afraid.

Only Tang San could match that terrifying potential. In a few years, when Dai Yao and his women all enter the Titled Douluo realm, and five or six top Titled Douluos attack together, how should they respond? Although Hanhai City claims to be absolutely neutral, how can there be neutrality in this world?

Now that the Wuhun Empire is powerful, Hanhai City's neutrality is an indulgence of the Wuhun Empire and standing on the side of the Wuhun Empire. Not to mention, there is an intractable grudge between Dai Yao and them!
When they thought of this, their scalps went numb!

If Hanhai City takes action, then they will not be dealing with ten Titled Douluo, but the combat power of nearly twenty Titled Douluo!

"Don't worry, everyone. Although I am worried about Hanhai City, I am not worried that Hanhai City will send people to Zhennan Pass. Although Dai Yao is overbearing and flamboyant, he always keeps his word and will not break his promise to send people from Hanhai City out of the mountains."

"I'm just feeling a little emotional."

Everyone's anxious hearts were finally put at ease.

Tang San had been Dai Yao's opponent for so long, and although he had been defeated repeatedly, his familiarity with Dai Yao was undoubtedly the highest among all. Since Tang San was so confident, there was no need for everyone to worry.

Tang San knew everyone's reactions without even looking and sighed softly. What he was worried about was something only he knew.

“A million troops, 300,000 elite soldiers, and 30,000 spirit masters, this is indeed the Spirit Hall. Its strength far exceeds that of the two empires. Di Tian, ​​the survival of the two empires, and the victory between Dai Yao and I, is in your hands…”

Tang San was no longer looking at the army of the Spirit Empire, but was looking towards the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.

As long as the beast tide breaks out, the army of the Wuhun Empire will collapse without a fight! At that time, it will be time for their Tiandou army to counterattack!

······
thump -- thump -- thump --

The sound of drums beating like thunder rang out, and everyone's faces changed drastically. They hurried to the city wall and looked outside Zhennan Pass.

When they saw the scene clearly, their faces turned extremely pale. The sound of the drums seemed to hit them heavily in their hearts.

Outside Zhennan Pass, the Wuhun Empire army, which had been silent and solemn, suddenly became noisy and began to rush towards Zhennan Pass like boiling water. Among the dark army, three vanguard units were separated, all of which were tall and burly warriors wearing iron armor and experienced in many battles.

The two armies, each with more than 10,000 people, covered the other armies with only a few thousand people, clearing the obstacles on its way forward.

The soldiers of this unit were extremely strong, like mountains of flesh. They carried battering rams with a diameter of several meters on their shoulders. They lifted them as if they were heavy and rushed towards the Zhennan Pass gate at a high speed.

Not only that, the soul rings on these hundreds of people were surging, and they were actually a team composed entirely of soul masters.

The person in the front, with eight shining soul rings around him, was Hu Yanzhen, the patriarch of the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the three sects in the world.

This team is naturally the clan force of the Xiangjia Sect!

As soon as they saw the Elephant Armor Sect's troops, everyone at Zhennan Pass was shocked. They realized that the Wuhun Empire's determination was beyond their imagination when they sent out such an ace troop at the first opportunity on the battlefield.

"Get on the wall! Defend against the enemy!"

Marshal Goron drew his sword and shouted angrily.

Nearly 10,000 Tiandou soldiers stood by the city wall, holding sharp blades, with kerosene and rolling stones piled up beside them. Once the enemy reached the attack range, Marshal Ge Long gave the order and the battle would officially begin. Behind them, a line of defense composed of the Tiandou Imperial Guards was ready.

If the army of the Wuhun Empire climbs up the city wall, they will be greeted by the Tiandou Guards and other armies composed of soul masters!
By bringing all the Imperial Guards to Zhennan Pass, Tang San had reached the end of his rope and was ready to give it all.

Tang San turned around and gestured to Yu Xiaogang. Yu Xiaogang instantly understood what Tang San meant, nodded, and hurried to the back of the city wall, shouting:

"Soul Master troops, assemble!"

In a few breaths, nearly ten thousand figures rushed over and lined up in front of Yu Xiaogang. However, compared with a real army, they were still a little scattered.

These were the real elites of the Heaven Dou Empire, gathering all the soul masters that Tang San could muster. The first thirty or forty were all Soul Douluo-level masters; after them, there were three or four hundred Soul Saint-level masters; as for the nearly ten thousand at the rear, they were Soul Emperors and below.

These soul master troops were the trump cards that Tang San had finally put together in order to deal with the advantage of the soul masters in the Spirit Hall.

Coupled with the geographical advantage of Zhennan Pass and its commanding position, it should be able to eliminate the numerical advantage of the Spirit Hall's soul masters, right?

Tang San himself wasn't sure.

There was silence at Zhennan Pass. Everyone was staring at the Spirit Empire troops slowly advancing below Zhennan Pass, as if they could feel their own violent heartbeats.

Heavy footsteps stomped on the battlefield, stirring up countless dust. When the Elephant Armor Unit was about to step into the attack range of the Tiandou Army, a beautiful purple figure slowly appeared from the direction of the Wuhun Empire, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Bibi Dong, why is she here?! Doesn't she want the Spirit Hall anymore?"

Marshal Goron said in shock.

Yu Xiaogang stared at the distant figure, his lips moving and his eyes unclear. Liu Erlong stood aside, watching Yu Xiaogang's reaction, and could only sigh deeply.

Tang San stared at Bibi Dong's figure. In his calculations, Bibi Dong could not come to Zhennan Pass. Something must have gone wrong. Bibi Dong's appearance here meant that all the main forces of the Wuhun Empire were gathered here, and even enemies that were several times larger than themselves.

A bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

Will Di Tian’s plan go so smoothly?
In front of Zhennan Pass, the army of the Wuhun Empire looked at the legendary pope in silence. Under the inviolable majesty, everyone couldn't help but feel a strong sense of reverence. Under the gaze of everyone, Bibi Dong looked at the towering Zhennan Pass, and then gently waved the scepter in her hand!
"kill!"

A cold word came out from Bibi Dong's red lips.

In an instant, tens of thousands of people released their soul rings at the same time. Dense yellow, purple and black soul rings instantly filled the entire earth. A tsunami of soul power rushed towards Zhennan Pass frantically!
"Spirit Feather Guards! Attack!"

With a sharp whistle, nine soul rings soared into the sky, and Lingyuan Douluo turned into a giant bird, leading more than 5,000 soul masters to fly high into the sky, directly above Zhennan Pass. Not only that, the tens of thousands of troops were divided into 5,000 people, and the 5,000 people were divided into two. As the soul rings flashed, accompanied by one after another light cry, the birds flew towards the mountains on both sides of Zhennan Pass.

They want to take the commanding heights on both sides of Zhennan Pass!
The number of avian soul masters in the Wuhun Empire alone is equivalent to the number of all soul masters in the Tiandou Empire!
Immediately afterwards, the soul masters on the ground also took action. More than 200 soul douluos were the spearheads, each with more than 100 soul masters, and countless soul rings flashed as they rushed towards the gate of Zhennan Pass!
It was like a torrent of colors, crashing into the city that had stood for tens of thousands of years.

These tens of thousands of soul masters actually joined forces with ordinary soldiers to carry out the most dangerous siege mission together.

This kind of attack method has never been seen before! Because there has never been a force that has so many soul masters, and there has never been a force that dares to use soul masters so wastefully.

It is a waste of precious soul masters to use them to fill in the gaps!
Nearly 100,000 people rushed to Zhennan Pass, including tens of thousands of soul masters. This magnificent scene made people dazzled and terrified, and even made people feel cold all over. Even the news of Bibi Dong's appearance was unconsciously ignored, and the city wall fell into a deathly silence.

What's worse, he actually started to tremble.

"All soul masters, activate your martial souls!"

Tang San looked at the soul master circling in the sky and made a prompt decision.

He first ordered two thousand men to support the commanding heights on both sides to ensure that the commanding heights were not lost, and then another eight thousand men came to the front of the city wall, attacking the spirit masters of the Wuhun Empire who occupied the sky while supporting the soldiers of the Tiandou Empire to defend the city.

Nearly ten thousand soul masters released their soul rings at the same time, and Zhennan Pass suddenly sparkled with various colors.

Countless soul skills in the sky hit the top of Zhennan Pass like a torrential rain. The soldiers of the Tiandou Empire had never seen such a number of soul masters. Even with the assistance of the soul master troops, they were caught off guard and suffered many casualties!
Seeing the densely packed flying soul masters flying overhead, occupying half of the sky over Zhennan Pass, Huyan Zhen's face lit up with joy, and then he let out a loud roar, and his seventh soul ring shone, transforming into a giant diamond mammoth.

Not only him, dozens of people behind him also used their martial souls. Under the cover of the flying soul masters, the elephant armor troops were basically not attacked by any decent attacks. Their speed increased dramatically and they crashed into the gate of Zhennan Pass!
thump—

Accompanied by a deafening roar, everyone at Zhennan Pass seemed to feel a violent tremor.

One hook after another was thrown onto the top of the city wall and then stretched straight. A strong chill surged into everyone's heart. Many people rushed to the top of the city wall frantically and threw rolling stones, kerosene, and other things down below.

But under the cover of more than 5,000 flying soul masters, these attacks are bound to be ineffective!

Tang San gave the order again without hesitation:

"Uncle, hurry up! Have all the Haotian Sect disciples go up to the city wall as a reserve force! Marshal Ge Long, have the palace guards go up immediately! Teacher, have all the Tang Sect disciples bring the Zhuge Crossbow to assist in air defense! Also, have them be ready to support the city wall at any time!"

"At all costs, we must withstand the enemy's first wave of attack!"

"Nearly 40,000 spirit masters from the Wuhun Empire are coming at us without reservation. They want to defeat us in the first attack. As long as we can hold off the first wave, the opponent's offensive will weaken, and we will have a chance to turn defeat into victory!" (End of this chapter)
