Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law

Chapter 324 The Heavenly Struggle Ends in Defeat, the Siege of Wei to Rescue Zhao

Although news of events in the Heavenly Dou court did not reach Xingluo, the disasters and upheavals occurring in various places could not be concealed. Upon receiving this news, the Xingluo Emperor was overjoyed.

"Hahaha, Heaven is on my side! Issue my decree: launch a full-scale attack, capture Soto and Barak in one fell swoop, and march on Jialing Pass!!"

Dai Hao hadn't heard such good news in a long time, and he felt refreshed. He immediately set up a banquet to celebrate in advance.

At the banquet, the ministers all flattered Dai Hao, praising his wisdom and prowess.

After a barrage of flattery, Dai Hao felt elated, and the resentment he had accumulated from his previous defeat at the Spirit Hall vanished completely. He seemed to already see himself destroying the Heavenly Dou and sweeping across the universe.

Wuhun City.

Gu Han stood on the city wall, looking at the bustling traffic outside the city. Compared with the outside world, Wuhun City was a paradise.

A carrier pigeon flew to Gu Han's side, and Gu Han reached out and took the letter from the pigeon's leg to examine it.

The text on it was short, but it contained all the major events that had happened in Tiandou, including Xuexing's serious illness and coughing up blood.

Gu Han wasn't worried about Xue Xing's physical condition; he was more concerned about the situation on the front lines. He had considered that Tian Dou would be defeated, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

“It’s really useless.”

Gu Han silently complained to himself, no wonder Dai Mubai said in the original work that if it weren't for the Spirit Hall's interference, the Heavenly Dou would have been wiped out by the Star Luo long ago.

"We may lose in a battle against the heavens, but we must not lose so quickly."

Gu Han thought to himself, but if they were to face the enemy head-on, even if the Spirit Hall had firearms, there was still a risk of heavy casualties against the Star Luo army, which was in high spirits.

However, troops still need to be sent out, but Gu Han does not intend to go to the main battlefield. Instead, he plans to use a strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao".

Since the Star Luo army is on the main battlefield, its domestic defenses must be weak. When the army presses on the Star Luo capital, the front lines will inevitably be in chaos, forcing them to come back to Star Luo's aid. If Tian Dou is not foolish, he can quickly launch a counterattack, capture the captured cities and passes, and rebuild the defenses, thus allowing the war to continue in a stalemate.

In this way, the Spirit Hall will have more time to conserve its strength and wait for the right opportunity to destroy the two great empires in one fell swoop.

Although he had already made a decision, Gu Han still convened a meeting of elders to solicit opinions from the worshippers and elders.

Although the Spirit Hall at this time could be said to be a one-man show by him and Bibi Dong, that was the result of the full support of the Qian family's Hall of Worship. Although the outcome of such a major event was predetermined from the beginning, nothing that needed to be done could be omitted.

We must give the Elders' Hall and the Offering Hall enough respect in order to avoid a lot of obstacles when getting things done.

Imagine you are one of the major shareholders of a group, but when the current president makes a major decision, he doesn't even hold a meeting. How would you feel?
Even if he was overthinking it, Gu Han still chose to give all the worshippers and elders a sense of participation.

"Elder Judgment's plan is excellent, I agree." Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded slightly and was the first to express his opinion.

Qian Xunji nodded: "Since the power of the Spirit Hall has been handed over to the Arbitration Elder, this matter shall proceed according to the Arbitration Elder's plan."

"Raise your hands if you agree."

With the support of these two individuals, the rest of the people naturally had no objections, and it passed unanimously without any suspense.

"Elder Judge, proceed according to your plan. You may also freely mobilize the other retainers and elders."

Qian Xunji's words implied that all the combat forces of the Spirit Hall, including the enshrined members and elders, must unconditionally cooperate with Gu Han's command.

"Yes."

Gu Han nodded and said, "This matter only requires three people. I will trouble Elder Qianjun, Elder Jiangmo, and Elder Du to come with me. The other elders can each perform their duties."

"Okay, I can loosen up my muscles again."

Since returning to the Spirit Hall, Demon-Slaying Douluo had been feeling uneasy, constantly looking for someone to fight and stretch his muscles. When Gu Han invited him, he naturally had no objections, his eyes gleaming with excitement. In contrast, Thousand-Pound Douluo was much more composed, his heart heavy with worry.

On this trip to Xingluo, we will inevitably encounter that Limit Douluo of the Holy Sect, as well as the Holy Sect's possible trump cards. We absolutely cannot be careless.

Although Dugu Bo hadn't expected that he was involved, he still nodded in agreement.

Since Gu Han helped him resolve the backlash from the poison, his cultivation of poison techniques has progressed at an accelerated pace. In addition, Ju Hua Guan had previously used him as a test subject for a new drug, accumulating a considerable amount of energy within his body. Now, his strength has reached level ninety-five.

Without these, Dugu Bo felt that he would probably have remained at the bottom of the Title Douluo ranks for the rest of his life.

From then on, he never refused any of Gu Han's or Juhua Pass's requests.

"Just in case, I'll send my evil incarnation with you."

Bibi Dong then spoke up. As the Pope, she naturally couldn't be absent from the council of elders. She spoke immediately after Gu Han finished selecting the people.

"it is good."

Gu Han did not refuse.

And that's how the matter was settled.

The saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach," meaning that logistical needs must be met before setting out.

Especially since this attack is on Xingluo City, the number of troops required is by no means small.

A total of 70,000 people were mobilized, including 10,000 cloud cavalry and 60,000 fully armed elite leather armor soldiers.

We must ensure food security.

For this attack, Gu Han did not bring Shi Dong or Dongfang Lingyun, but instead had them lead 10,000 troops to monitor Hadrian's City and guard Jincheng Mountain Pass.

The purpose of this military campaign was to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao. The operation was not concealed, nor could it be concealed.

With an army of 70,000, plus logistics support, they claimed to number 200,000. They marched out of the Jincheng Mountains, ignoring the garrison of Hadrian's City, and headed south along the Yangtze River, their spearhead aimed directly at Xingluo City.

Hadrian's city tried to send troops to stop them, but was driven back by the cannons of the Cloud Cavalry.

The sight of such weapons for the first time terrified the garrison commander of Hadrian's City and the duchy's king, but thankfully the army did not continue its attack, which relieved them.

Star Luo City.

"The Spirit Hall! It's the Spirit Hall again!!"

Having just finished his victory celebration and barely had two days to celebrate, Dai Hao slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly when he learned that the Spirit Hall had dispatched 200,000 troops to advance on Xingluo City. Veins bulged on his forehead.

"Damn the Spirit Hall, why are they always going against me?!"

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to mobilize the army to resist the Spirit Hall's army."

Seeing that Dai Hao's temper had subsided, Duke Youming stepped out from the ranks of his ministers and began to discuss serious matters.

"Hmm, how many troops are still available for deployment in the country?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Hao asked.

The Minister of War calculated with his fingers, stepped out of the ranks, and said, "Your Majesty, apart from the front lines, there are also garrison troops and militia in the more distant areas that can be deployed in time, totaling about 30,000 men."
