Chapter 223 The Sun Moon Empire Declares War, Xu Jiawei's Sorrows
Time returns to the present.

The positions of the first two national advisors of the Sun Moon Empire have already been determined.

As for the remaining one, after Xu Tianran and Jing Hongchen tried their best to cover it up, Xu Tianran finally said that he had accepted his fate in private, and then the matter was dropped.

Furthermore, Xu Tianran replaced most of the former officials during his reign, especially in strategically important positions, where he replaced almost all of them with his former subordinates.

This wave was indeed a major reshuffle of power within the Sun Moon Empire's royal family.

The newly appointed ministers were naturally delighted, as this was tantamount to a promotion and a raise.

The incoming ministers certainly had their opinions, but almost none of them dared to voice them.

After all, with a change of emperor, a major reshuffle in the court is to be expected.

Unless they were ministers who were originally neutral and had made great contributions, they were basically dismissed or transferred. At best, they were transferred out of Mingdu and far away from the power center of the Sun and Moon Empire.

After making arrangements at the court under Lin Qinghan's instructions, Xu Tianran issued his first order to the army.

"From this moment forward, all national resources will be directed toward the military, and a war will be launched against the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent five years from now."

Xu Tianran calmly finalized the war plan, which was the biggest news from his first court appearance.

·······
Two days later, in the imperial palace of Xingluo City, Xingluo Empire.

"Brother, have you heard? The new emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran, has openly announced that he will launch a war against the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent in five years."

At Lin Qinghan's request, Xu Tianran did not choose to hide his orders, and even publicized them extensively.

Even in the intelligence system of the medieval Douluo Continent, the message reached the Star Luo Empire two days later.

As a special princess who wields real power, Xu Jiujiu manages the intelligence network of Xingluo City on behalf of Xu Jiawei, so she was able to receive the news immediately.

"It's my younger sister. I already knew about this yesterday, and I'm currently quite worried about it."

It was early morning, far before the morning court session, but Xu Jiawei was dressed in imperial robes. Judging from his tired face, he hadn't slept all night.

"The new emperor of the Sun Moon Empire seems very young and acts quite aggressively. Brother, will we be able to fight back in five years?"

Xu Jiujiu was also dressed in very formal attire. Although she wore light makeup, her face did not show any signs of fatigue, but her eyes were filled with anxiety.

Because of the death of Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger in recent years, the army of the Sun Moon Empire has become much more aggressive on the battlefield in the Mingdou Mountains.

Later on, even the Soul Master Legion equipped with linked Soul Guidance Devices was deployed. The Star Luo Empire, which had been fighting against the Sun Moon Empire's army in the Mingdou Mountains, now experienced the power of the Sun Moon Empire firsthand.

They simply cannot contend with that small Sun Moon Empire Soul Master Legion unless they send at least fifteen Soul Saints or at least three Soul Douluos.

A low-level Soul Master legion is like a rabbit facing a lion compared to a Soul Master legion. An army composed of ordinary people is even less of a match; even a force of ten thousand men couldn't break through the defensive range of a medium-sized Soul Master legion of the Sun Moon Empire. And how many Soul Saints and Soul Douluos does the entire Star Luo Empire have? Even if they exhausted all their national resources, they probably couldn't even muster four figures.

Moreover, even if so many high-level Soul Masters were dispatched, without Title Douluos and linked Soul Guidance Devices, they would not be able to play a decisive role in the outcome of the battle when facing the Sun Moon Empire's elite Soul Master legions.

As for Super Douluo, the Star Luo Empire only has a handful of well-known figures. Even without adding Shrek Academy, it's uncertain whether the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent could even be represented by two.

"Based on our current understanding of the Sun Moon Empire, if Shrek Academy doesn't intervene and the three original kingdoms of Douluo Continent don't unite, our chances of winning are almost zero."

As Xu Jiawei spoke, blood vessels began to appear in his eyes, and he then closed them in pain.

It was as if this emperor, who could be considered a wise ruler but was born at the wrong time, had already foreseen the tragic future of the Star Luo Empire.

"Can't even resist with the strength of a single nation? Why is the Sun Moon Empire so powerful? Is it because of the soul tools?"

Hearing his own brother, the emperor, Xu Jiawei, start saying discouraging things, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but bite his lower lip.

Even with light makeup, Xu Jiujiu couldn't hide the dejection on her face.

As a royal princess, Xu Jiujiu naturally has a strong sense of national pride. Even if we disregard that, if the Star Luo Empire were to be destroyed, her fate as a princess of the Star Luo Empire would undoubtedly be tragic.

"Little sister, you'll be turning twenty-one soon, right? We arranged for you to get engaged to Lin Qinghan back then, but Lin Qinghan is more than five years younger than you. Now, Lin Qinghan has reached the age where he can get married."

Xu Jiawei glanced at his beloved younger sister, then composed himself and changed the subject.

"As a princess of the royal family, it's already quite late for you to be unmarried. I remember you once said that you were quite satisfied with Lin Qinghan. It's time for you and Lin Qinghan to get married."

“Brother, I naturally have no objection to the marriage agreement with Lin Qinghan, but Lin Qinghan is a bit... he may not agree to tie himself to the Xingluo royal family.”

The two were originally worried about the future of the country, but unexpectedly Xu Jiawei suddenly changed the topic to his marriage. Although Xu Jiujiu was very well-mannered, she was still a little uncomfortable with her older brother changing the subject so abruptly.

Xu Jiujiu still had a deep impression of Lin Qinghan. After all, as her fiancé, he was not only handsome, but also an unprecedented genius.

In fact, given Lin Qinghan's current performance, many people are starting to wonder if there will ever be another like him.

But what she remembers most vividly is that when Lin Qinghan was in front of her, he didn't hide his relationships with other girls at all.

There was more than one three years ago, which made Xu Jiujiu remember Lin Qinghan very clearly.

Not to mention, when Lin Qinghan first met her and didn't even know who she was, she left a very deep impression on Xu Jiujiu, who was still very young at the time.

Of course, apart from being a womanizer, Lin Qinghan left Xu Jiujiu with only good impressions; otherwise, Xu Jiujiu wouldn't have said that she had no objection to marrying Lin Qinghan.
