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

Chapter 370 Locking the Army to the Border
The others also turned their attention to Zhu Zhuqing, their eyes filled with thoughtful expressions.

Zhu Zhuqing blinked her eyes a few times, looking somewhat confused.

"Alright, let's write a letter to Miss and inform her of the news."

"The operation will officially begin the day after tomorrow."

As Feng Bailong spoke, he wrote down the things they had discussed.

After writing the letter, Feng Bailong summoned a carrier hawk, tied the letter to the hawk's body, and then released the hawk into the air.

After doing all this, the group exchanged glances and went off to prepare.

……

One day later.

On the city wall of Jialing Pass.

Ye Xi was inspecting the defenses in various locations, while Ling Yuan remained half a step behind him.

A cry rang out in the distance.

Ling Yuan looked up and, upon seeing that it was a carrier eagle, she reached out and let the eagle land in her hand.

"Miss, news has arrived."

Ling Yuan took the letter out of the envelope and handed it to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi reached out and took the letter, quickly glancing at it before a thoughtful look appeared in his azure eyes.

"Summon all high-ranking officials to the main hall for a meeting!"

A surge of soul power emanated from Ye Xi's hand, shattering the envelope in his hand into pieces. He then strode towards the foot of the city wall.

Ling Yuan, on the other hand, went in another direction to notify all the high-ranking officials to go for a meeting.

Enter the main hall.

Ye Xi sat down in the main seat, propping her head up with her hand, her silver hair falling naturally, her eyes slightly closed, quietly waiting for the arrival of the senior executives.

Before long, the high-ranking officials, led by Guang Ling, entered the main hall and took their seats on either side.

Ye Xi opened her eyes at that moment.

"Gentlemen, we have just received news."

"My men, whom I've placed behind the Star Luo Empire, will seize the grain and supplies being transported from Star Luo City to the border tomorrow night, and then attack Star Luo City."

“I have an idea. If they can successfully capture Xingluo City, how many troops will be needed to defend Jialing Pass to ensure its safety? The rest of the troops will bypass the border of the Xingluo Empire and block the retreat route of the Xingluo Empire’s army.”

"So that the Star Luo Empire's army can be locked up here?"

Ye Xi asked softly, but kept her gaze on the Templar Knights.

The defense of Jialing Pass was the responsibility of the Templar Knights, so he would have a better understanding of the city's defenses.

“Miss, if the people you have placed in the Star Luo Empire can really capture Star Luo City and cut off the Star Luo Empire's army's food and supplies, then completely locking the army at the border is entirely feasible.”

"If it's just about defending the city, with 200,000 people possessing soul tools, I can guarantee the safety of Jialing Pass. Moreover, our Martial Soul Empire can spare at least 300,000 more people to defend Jialing Pass."

"But all of this is predicated on the fact that the people stationed in the Star Luo Empire must successfully capture Star Luo City. Otherwise, even if we bypass the border quietly, the army will not be able to resupply."

"By then, it won't be us locking them down, but them locking down our army."

The Templar Knight recounted the story in detail.

Ye Xi nodded softly, looking in the direction of the Star Luo Empire, calculating how far he could open the spatial rift.

"I have a way to send the army silently to the rear of the Star Luo Empire's border. As for Star Luo City, we can just wait for news."

"Let someone prepare it first."

"The army at Jialing Pass has 700,000 troops and nearly 100,000 Soul Master Legion soldiers. Leave 300,000 to defend Jialing Pass, and divide the rest into two parts. If they successfully capture Xingluo City, I will send them to the rear of the Xingluo Empire's border."

Ye Xi got up from his seat and walked out of the main hall.

The other senior executives also got up at this time to make preparations.

I returned to my residence.

Looking at the languid-looking miniature version of the Evil-Eyed Saint King, Ye Xi sat down, draped his legs over the king's shoulders, and pondered deeply. "It's been so long."

"I wonder how my sister and Aunt Dong's assessments went."

Ye Xi thought to herself silently, reaching out to support her head.

Because Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong are both focused on passing the assessment, the Spirit Hall is currently being managed by Qian Daoliu, while Ye Xi has entrusted Ye Qingxue with handling the affairs of the Spirit Empire.

She herself was stationed at Jialing Pass.

Just as Ye Xi was deep in thought, the Evil Eye Saint King gradually raised his head, glanced at the leg draped over him, and at Ye Xi who was deep in thought.

Then they acted as if they were ignoring what had happened.

Ye Xi is my future boss, so I might as well team up with him.

Moreover, the Evil Eye Saint King had a premonition that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ye Xi's ninth soul ring would be itself.

Although Ye Xi's eighth spirit ring was a divinely bestowed spirit ring from the Angel God, its age was already infinitely close to a million years. Therefore, the Evil Eye Saint King never imagined that there were cultivators on the continent with a cultivation age of over a million years.

Of course, the lower reaches of the Lake of Life don't count.

Just as Ye Xi was deep in thought, a drink was handed to her.

"Xiao Xi, what are you thinking about?"

Hu Liena sat down next to Ye Xi.

"nothing."

Ye Xi shook his head slightly, took the drink Hu Liena offered, and took a sip.

"Once the matters concerning the Star Luo Empire are resolved, we'll be able to relax a bit."

Hu Liena leaned back in her seat, gazing at the azure sky.

"The Star Luo Empire?"

"If the plan goes smoothly, it should be resolved in about a month, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

"If things don't go smoothly, just wait patiently."

Ye Xi smiled nonchalantly.

Hu Liena glanced at Ye Xi and nodded as if she understood.

……

And on the other side.

Within the Star Luo Empire.

In a somewhat quiet forest, the sect leaders of the Fire Leopard, Wind White Dragon, Black Tiger Sect, and Sparrow Bee Sect, along with their respective disciples, arrived and laid an ambush.

"Is the news accurate?"

Feng Bailong turned his gaze to the sect leader of the Black Tiger Sect.

"Don't worry, it will definitely not go wrong."

"If I make a mistake, I will personally go before His Majesty to accept the punishment."

The Black Tiger Sect leader patted his chest, indicating that there would be absolutely no problem.

Upon hearing this, the Fire Leopard and the sect leader of the Sparrow Bee Sect gently raised their hands, and their respective disciples hid and waited quietly.

The same applies to the disciples of the Wind Sword Sect and the Black Tiger Sect.

sunset.

Night gradually fell.

The once quiet woods were now filled with the sound of orderly footsteps.

Hidden in the shadows, the Fire Leopard, the Wind White Dragon, and the leader of the Sparrow Bee Sect glanced at the leader of the Black Tiger Sect and then quietly made a hand gesture, waiting for them to enter the encirclement.

Before long, a heavily armored army appeared before everyone's eyes, escorting supplies.
