Douluo: The Second Lady of the Worship Hall, decisive in killing

Ghost and Bloodthirst, after charging through the army for a while, withdrew from the army and stood in mid-air, their eyes scanning the army.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Sigh of Ice and Snow".

Ye Xi's sixth spirit ring flashed once again.

A ring of extreme cold emanated from her body, spreading outwards. As the rain washed over the city walls of Jialing Pass, ice quickly formed. The rainwater passed through the extreme cold, turning into hail and crashing down on the Star Luo Empire's army.

Even in many large armies located in extremely cold regions, the armor on their bodies began to freeze at a visible speed.

For a moment, the sounds of clattering and banging could be heard continuously.

The general of the Star Luo Empire's army stared blankly at the scene before him.

"This……"

"How come this even includes weather modification?"

"How can we attack the city like this?"

The general's lips twitched slightly.

In large-scale battles, the role of a Title Douluo is limited, since soul power is constantly being consumed. Once the soul power is exhausted and the Title Douluo is worn out, it is possible to use an army to surround and kill them.

However, wide-range soul skills are very effective.

The army is mostly composed of ordinary people. As long as their soul power level is slightly higher, they can use wide-range soul skills to kill anyone who touches them or injure anyone who grazes them. But this weather modification is a bit outrageous.

The city walls were covered in ice, making it difficult to even get close to the city, let alone attack it. The rainwater had turned into hail and was falling down.

"His Majesty."

"That angelic martial soul that has activated its true form needs to be restrained. It was already difficult to attack it, but if it is not restrained, it will be too difficult to force a siege."

The general approached the Star Luo Emperor and pointed at Ye Xi in mid-air.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xingluo glanced in Ye Xi's direction, his eyes filled with helplessness.

How can I restrain them?

"If I could have fought my way up and held her back, I wouldn't be in the army right now, but on the walls of Jialing Pass."

Emperor Xingluo glanced at his injuries, thought for a moment, and his gaze darkened slightly.

"try again!"

"A siege regardless of the cost."

"No, we'll retreat!"

The Star Emperor's tone was full of determination.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The general agreed and continued to command the army to attack the city.

Even though the Star Luo army disregarded their own lives, the effect was already minimal.

The cannonballs from the Soul Guidance Cannon kept bombarding the Star Luo Empire's army. If they got too close, the soldiers would freeze, turning into ice sculptures or shivering from the cold.

Even those lucky enough to brave the cold and reach the foot of Jialing Pass were met with a hail of arrows. In the end, the Star Luo Empire's army left tens of thousands of corpses beneath the walls of Jialing Pass before beginning their orderly retreat.

After the Star Luo Empire's army withdrew, Ye Xi withdrew his martial spirit.

"Clean the battlefield."

"Calculate the losses and provide triple the compensation to the fallen soldiers."

After giving his instructions, Ye Xi headed towards his temporary residence.

……

And on the other side.

After Emperor Xingluo returned to the city with his army, he ordered his men to take stock of the losses.

After the losses were tallied, Emperor Xingluo smashed the table in front of him.

"Such heavy losses in the first battle."

The Star Luo Emperor's voice was filled with rage.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"Our losses are significant, but completely within acceptable limits."

"We currently have enough food supplies in the city to feed our army for about half a month. Once the next batch of supplies arrives, we will attempt to attack the city again."

"The most urgent task now is to figure out how to capture Jialing Pass."

The general knelt on one knee and reported truthfully, "We have captured Jialing Pass."

"Does the General have any good ideas?"

Emperor Xingluo propped his head up with his hand and stared at the Great General.

"Your Majesty, we are now fighting a war of attrition. We will see whose resources and treasury will give out first. There are 700,000 troops and 100,000 Soul Master Legion troops guarding Jialing Pass."

“The daily consumption at Jialing Pass is no less than ours.”

"Why don't we try cutting off their supply lines?"

The general slightly raised his eyes and asked tentatively.

Emperor Xingluo did not answer immediately, but instead considered the feasibility of the matter in his mind.

……

And on the other side.

Within the Black Tiger Sect, located within the Star Luo Empire.

The Black Tiger Sect Master looked at Zhu Zhuqing, Huo Yanbao, Feng Bailong, and the Sparrow Bee Sect Master before him, and unfolded a map.

"According to the information gathered by our Black Tiger Sect, there are only tens of thousands of Imperial Guards in Xingluo City now, with only the Xingluo Empress in charge."

"All the Soul Masters from our four sects combined number over two thousand. I believe that with our strength, taking over Star Luo City shouldn't be a problem."

After the Black Tiger Sect leader finished speaking, he glanced at everyone present, his eyes full of questions.

"I think it's okay."

"If we can take Xingluo City, the army there will inevitably fall into chaos."

Feng Bailong nodded in agreement.

"Although the Star Luo Queen is not weak, she is only a Soul Douluo after all. With four of us against one, there is no way there will be any problems."

The sect leader of the Beehive Sect reached out and lightly tapped Star City on the map.

"When do we act?"

Fire Leopard glanced at the group and asked a question.

"Don't rush."

"According to the information I received, someone will be escorting grain and supplies to the border the day after tomorrow. Let's seize this batch of grain and supplies first. This will relieve the pressure on Jialing Pass and weaken the strength in the palace. Then, our four sects will attack the palace from different directions."

The leader of the Black Tiger Sect tapped his finger lightly on the map.

The Fire Leopard, the Wind White Dragon, and the sect leader of the Sparrow Bee Sect nodded in agreement.

"Forehead……"

"What do you think I should do?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the four of them and asked a question.

"Stop fooling around, we're discussing serious matters."

"You can just stay here, you don't need to do anything."

“If we can’t take Xingluo City, you can come with us.”

"The Soul Emperor's strength is such that having one more or one less makes no difference."

The Black Tiger Sect leader glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and then looked away.

"Yes, stop messing around."

"Just stay here and handle some business."

The sect leader of the Sparrow Bee Sect waved to Zhu Zhuqing.

Hearing their words, Zhu Zhuqing gave an awkward but polite smile.

“I’m sorry.”

"We can bring Zhu Qing along."

"Empress Xingluo and the current Crown Princess are both from the Zhu family. If we take Zhuqing with us, we might gain something extra."

Feng Bailong stroked his chin, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
