Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 644 The Time of Surrender of the Two Great Empires

Gu Yuena said, "We've already tried our best to overestimate the Tang Clan, so how come they still have so many good things hidden away?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Even a centipede dies but does not fall down. The Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have accumulated tens of thousands of years of experience, and their foundation is probably no less than that of the Spirit Pagoda."

"Let's slowly wear down the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy's resources. After this war, they will lose the strength to rise again."

Gu Yuena asked, "Huang'er, are you really not going to participate in this war?"

As the ruler of all soul beasts, Gu Yuena's mindset is still stuck in the stage where the commander-in-chief personally goes to the battlefield.

Qian Gu Huang Yu laughed and said, "Gu Yue, this is a holy war that only happens once every ten thousand years. How could I possibly be absent?"

"But the main character always has to wait until the very end to make their appearance!"

As she spoke, Qian Gu Huang Yu leaned against the railing outside the window, looked up at the starry sky, and sighed, "I am now the Prime Minister of the Sun and Moon Federation, at the pinnacle of power in the entire country. I can no longer act as casually as before."

Gu Yuena said, "Huang'er, why is that? If you can't help but want to take action, then just do it."

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "No, I am now at the pinnacle of power, the answer to this plane. I need to cultivate my power atmosphere now."

"Power atmosphere?" Gu Yuena asked rhetorically.

“Yes,” Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded slightly. “Simply put, if others feel despair when facing you and have no desire to fight.”

"When you're facing someone else, and you feel like you can still give it a shot, that's a completely different level of difficulty in dominating them."

"Therefore, whenever I make a move, I must win, and win big. Only in this way will others not even have the thought of resisting me in the future."

Gu Yuena said, "So that's why you're making your move at the last minute?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded slightly. "Yes, and at that time, not only will I go by myself, Gu Yue, you should come with me too, and invite Di Tian along as well."

"And the high-end combat power of the Spirit Pagoda. Since I am personally taking action, there can't be the slightest problem."

...

Star Luo Empire, Royal Palace.

With the start of the war, Xue Chaoyang naturally returned to the Douling Empire to take charge of the overall situation.

Without needing a special announcement, Enci walked straight into the main hall, her face grave as she looked at Dai Lingxun, who sat high on the throne, and said:
"Your Majesty, our navy at the front... has been completely wiped out."

Enci's voice even trembled slightly as he finished speaking, even though he knew that the combined forces of Xingluo and Douling Empires could not possibly be a match for the Sun Moon Federation fleet.

But he never expected that they would all be wiped out in just one day.

Upon hearing Enci's words, Dai Lingxun's movements visibly slowed for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal.

If even she, the emperor, loses her composure now, then the Star Luo Empire is truly doomed.

Dai Lingxun sighed and asked, "Grand Preceptor, how is the evacuation of the people in the coastal areas going?"

Enci was taken aback, then realized that Dai Lingxun was planning a border offensive and defensive war, and quickly said, "Currently, all citizens living in coastal cities have been evacuated."

Dai Lingxun said, "Alright, we must accelerate our strategic deployment in the coastal areas and do everything we can to slow down their advance."

"In addition, we should transfer the soul guidance industrial line that we previously seized from the Tang Sect to the rear as soon as possible."

"Although we are no match for the Sun and Moon Federation in terms of national strength, at least we are fighting on home ground."

"Moreover, the Star Luo Continent is vast enough to have excellent strategic depth. Once they invade our homeland, if they want to occupy the entire Star Luo Empire, they will have to divide their forces."

"Once their main force disperses, we will launch a guerrilla war against them by mobilizing the people. Once they are engulfed in the vast ocean of people's war, our opportunity will come."

Enci asked with some concern, "Your Majesty, how should we seize the opportunity?"

What Enci was referring to here was when they could surrender to the Ancient Phoenix Feather in order to bring the least damage to the Star Luo Empire and the highest post-war status.

Dai Lingxun said, "I will first go and find out what Qian Gu Huang Yu thinks. The Imperial Advisor can wait for further instructions."

Although Dai Lingxun and Qian Gu Huangyu spent very little time together, they still maintained contact with each other.

Although Qian Gu Huang Yu was under pressure from a certain Silver Dragon King, he always ignored her messages.

...

The Imperial Palace of the Douling Empire.

"How could this be? How could this be? How could my army be wiped out in a single day?"

Xue Chaoyang slammed his fist on the table in anger as he looked at the battle reports sent back from the front lines.

"Lord Huyan, don't you have anything to say?" Xue Chaoyang suddenly looked at a tall, middle-aged man standing in the middle of the hall and said coldly.

Hu Yanxiao is the tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower of the Douling Empire and also the highest-ranking person in charge here.

Previously, in order to avoid being troubled by the Douling Empire or causing a situation where the Spirit Pagoda was besieged, Hu Yanxiao had always said that he would communicate with the Spirit Pagoda headquarters of the Sun Moon Federation.

However, it is clear that his excuses cannot slow down the deployment of troops.

Hu Yanxiao said with some difficulty, "Your Majesty, I have been reporting this to the Tower Master for a long time, but she does not listen to my advice. I really have no other choice."

Xue Chaoyang waved his hand with some annoyance and said, "That's enough, get out of here."

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Spirit Pagoda controlled the extremely sensitive soul spirit business, the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire would have already taken action against the Spirit Pagoda.

However, even though the two great empires did not take action against the Spirit Pagoda, the quality of the souls it provided to them was getting lower and lower.

Although Huo Yuhao, the ancestor of the Spirit Pagoda, revealed the method of transforming soul beasts into soul spirits 20,000 years ago.

However, nowadays, wild soul beasts are few and far between, and most soul masters use artificial soul spirits.

As for artificial souls, only the Spirit Pagoda can reliably provide them, which is why both empires dislike the Spirit Pagoda but are powerless to do anything about it.

After all, although the current master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Huang Yu, wants to destroy the two great empires, it would be difficult to expel the Spirit Pagoda directly from the country at this time.

Without the spirits provided by the Spirit Pagoda, the spirit masters of the two great empires would lose their chance to advance, and it would probably be chaotic before long.

...

After leaving the palace, Hu Yanxiao wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. With the formal outbreak of war, his situation had become quite delicate.

"Luckily, I secretly sent my family back to the Federation beforehand, otherwise it would have been difficult to escape later."

"What exactly does the Tower Master want to do? Does he really not care about the lives of those of us in the Douling Empire?" A month has passed since the combined fleet of the Star Luo Empire and the Douling Empire was completely annihilated.

In order to complete the mission of the Eternal Phoenix Feather, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy fleets had to split into two groups.

In order to deal with Enci, the only Limit Douluo of the two great empires, Yun Ming was responsible for leading troops to attack the Star Luo Empire.

Because the Star Luo Empire was more powerful than the Dou Ling Empire, Yun Ming also took the Thousand Hands, which served as the mothership, and two-thirds of the Tang Sect's mecha force with him.

The fleet heading to the Douling Empire was led by Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi.

In order to monitor the armies of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, the Federation fleet split into two groups: Qian Renxue led a team to the Star Luo Empire, while Chen Hanyu went to the Douling Empire.

Although the armies and people of the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire fought desperately to protect their homeland.

However, they were still quickly defeated by the powerful soul masters and soul-guided weapons of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.

In just one month, the Douling Empire lost more than two-thirds of its territory, while the Xingluo Empire, although stronger than the Douling Empire, also lost half of its territory.

...

Star Luo Empire, Beidou City, the front line of war.

"Damn Tang Clan members, they actually became lackeys of the Sun Moon Federation. I was blind to have idolized Tang San, the dead ancestor of the Tang Clan."

In a frontline military camp, a soldier who had just finished his guard duty returned to his barracks and cursed at his comrades.

"That's right! They even invited me to join the Tang Clan back then. Luckily, I didn't agree, or I would have almost become a traitor!"

"Damn Tang Sect! Not only did they sell us defective products, they also told the Sun Moon Federation about the weaknesses of their weapons!"

The insults directed at the Tang Clan instantly garnered a response from others. If the people of the Star Luo Empire had previously shown more respect to the Tang Clan...

Now that the war has progressed this far, the people of the Star Luo Empire only feel a deep-seated hatred for the Tang Sect.

"Fortunately, the Tang Clan's advance on the front lines has finally slowed down, otherwise our retreat speed might not even be able to keep up with the speed of the frontline's retreat."

At the beginning of the war, Yunming faced the Star Luo Empire's defenses in order to preserve as much of his strength as possible.

Without saying a word, I immediately activated the Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell!

After a thorough sweep with various soul-guided weapons, mech units and soul master legions are sent in to clean up the battlefield.

However, as they conquered more and more territory of the Star Luo Empire, their battle lines stretched longer and their forces became more and more dispersed, and their advance slowed down.

...

A military conference is being held in the military camp of the Sun and Moon Federation.

Sitting in the main seat was naturally Qian Renxue, the overall commander of this campaign against the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire.

Yun Ming, as the biggest filler and the chosen worker, sat in the first seat to Qian Renxue's right.

Besides, there are many generals gathered here; those who can appear at this table must be at least major generals.

Incidentally, after Qian Gu Huang Yu reorganized the Federation army, Qian Gu Dong Feng, who was the Army Marshal, and Chen Han Yu, who was the Navy Marshal, were both promoted to the rank of General.

As the Marshal of the Three Armies, Qian Renxue enjoyed the customized military rank service of the Eternal Phoenix Feather, and as the Supreme Commander of the Sun and Moon Federation, she commanded all the armies.

Although Yun Ming did not hold a military rank, no one present questioned his status, not even the notoriously hot-tempered Wolf Douluo Dong Zi'an.

Because of his outstanding contributions during the war, Dong Zian was immediately entrusted with important responsibilities after Qian Gu Huang Yu returned.

He is not yet forty years old, but he has already become a major general in the army, and is considered one of the confidants of the then army marshal Qian Gu Dongfeng.

Yun Ming said, "Given the current situation, I suggest we use a decapitation strike tactic. I will directly storm into Xingluo City, the capital of the Xingluo Empire, kidnap Dai Lingxun, and force them to surrender."

Although the Sun and Moon Federation held an absolute advantage in combat power, Yun Ming easily defeated Enci.

However, Qian Renxue, being very proper, stated that Limit Douluo should not interfere in the battles of mortals, and demanded that Yun Ming not attack anyone else after defeating Enci.

With two super-powerful fighters banned, the Sun and Moon Federation's advance on the front lines has been extremely slow.

Moreover, the losses were also significant. The deaths of Shrek Academy teachers and students, as well as those from the Tang Clan, in the past month have caused Yun Ming immense grief.

The Sun-Moon Federation's military provides all support from the rear except for actual assistance.

That's why he proposed to capture the leader first.

Qian Renxue said, "No, I understand your desire to end the war, but this tactic is too opportunistic."

"Even if the Star Luo Empire surrenders, they will not be truly convinced. Once we take over the entire Star Luo Empire, there will inevitably be many riots."

"Instead of expending effort to suppress riots throughout the Star Luo Empire later, it's better to crush them once and for all now."

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Yun Ming sat down with a gloomy expression. [That sounds nice, but isn't it just about weakening Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect?]

[Not only are they not allowed to use decapitation tactics, they also won't let me interfere too much in the battle. Aren't they just going to watch the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect members all die?]

By this point in the war, Yun Ming had long realized that Qian Gu Huang Yu was making no attempt to conceal its intention to weaken Shrek Academy and Tang Sect through various means.

But he was helpless about it, which made him very annoyed.

Seeing Yun Ming's sullen expression, a general couldn't help but say, "Sect Master Yun, there's no need to worry too much. Aren't we already helping you?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming was even more furious. The help that the general was talking about meant that after the battle lines were set up, they would lead the troops to attack the weakly defended areas in exchange for credit.

However, they still unanimously threw the toughest challenges to the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, which is why the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy suffered such heavy casualties.

"Alright, that concludes the meeting for now. His Excellency the Prime Minister is still waiting for our good news in Mingdu. Let's all keep up the good work."

Qian Renxue gave the general a warning look and ended the meeting with a single sentence.

Back at her camp, Qian Renxue looked at the uninvited blonde woman before her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "Sister Huangyu, why did you come here in person?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu laughed and said, "How can we grasp the situation on the front lines and find the most suitable time to make our appearance if we don't come here in person?"

By this point in the war, both the Sun-Moon Federation and the two great empires knew that surrender was only a matter of time.

Therefore, for Qian Gu Huang Yu, who wanted to boost his prestige by showing off in front of others, finding a suitable opportunity was especially important.

Therefore, she did not hesitate to come over in person to check the situation.
