Chapter 117: The Real Surprise Attack - The Heavenly Dou Army Deepens into Star Luo!

Outside Longya Pass, the stench of blood filled the air.

Zhao Zilong's five thousand Snow Dragon Cavalry, like a pack of hungry wolves who had just eaten their fill, stood silently in formation a hundred feet outside the pass, their black armor reflecting the cold sunlight.

On the wall, Dai Tianli's face was so gloomy it looked like it could be wrung out of water.

He personally led 50,000 elite White Tiger Divine Guards, originally with the ambition of capturing a key town on the border of Tiandou in one fell swoop and firing the first shot in the counterattack.

Who would have thought that the 20,000 White Tiger cavalry sent out by the vanguard would be overwhelmed by the enemy's mere 5,000 cavalry in almost a single encounter, suffering heavy casualties.

The remnants of the defeated army fled back into the pass. Upon taking stock, including the troops previously stationed at Longya Pass, his total forces besieging the isolated pass had been reduced to less than 30,000.

Those five thousand Snow Dragon Cavalrymen are simply devils!

The strength of each knight made him tremble with fear.

"Your Majesty, what do we do now?" a lieutenant general, covered in blood, asked in a trembling voice. His arm was wrapped in thick bandages, and blood was still seeping out.

Dai Tianli gripped the hilt of the White Tiger Battle Blade at his waist tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He forced himself to calm down.

"Issue the order: close the gates tightly and the entire army must defend to the death! No one is to engage in battle without my command!"

He knew that going out to fight again now would be tantamount to suicide.

The combat strength of the enemy cavalry was beyond his comprehension.

We can only pin our hopes on the fortification of Longya Pass and reinforcements from within the country.

Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei stood beside Dai Tianli, his crimson eyes seemingly seeing through Dai Tianli's bluster and cowardice.

A barely perceptible smile curved the corners of his lips.

Everything was within his calculations.

Zhao Zilong stood guard outside the pass, spear in hand, but he did not rush to attack the city.

Xue Lingxiao's order was to flatten Longya Pass and take Dai Tianli's head within three days.

Now, Dai Tianli is trapped like a turtle in a jar.

"General, should we attack the city immediately?" a lieutenant asked.

Zhao Zilong shook his head: "No rush. First, surround Longya Pass, cut off its supplies, and eliminate its external support. I want Dai Tianli to wait for death in despair."

Five thousand Snow Dragon Cavalrymen quickly dispersed, forming a giant black net that firmly sealed off all the exits of Dragon Tooth Pass.

Scouts were continuously dispatched to monitor all movements in the surrounding area.

The atmosphere inside Longya Pass was extremely oppressive.

The soldiers of the Star Luo Empire huddled behind the city walls, watching in terror as the black cavalrymen, like ghosts, roamed beyond the pass.

They seemed poised to rush up at any moment and tear this formidable pass to shreds.

Time passes bit by bit.

For Dai Tianli, every moment was torture.

He kept sending messengers to the country for help, but all the messengers he sent out disappeared without a trace.

He was unaware that most of these messengers were precisely hunted down by the Snow Dragon Cavalry shortly after leaving the pass.

Meanwhile, in the heart of the Star Luo Empire, far from Dragon Tooth Pass.

Two massive armies are tearing through the Star Luo Empire's defenses at an astonishing speed.

Wearing fiery red armor, Feng Ling led 200,000 elite troops of the Heavenly Dou Empire to form the left flank army.

She was like a blazing flame, and wherever she passed, cities fell.

Her Evil Phoenix Martial Soul displayed earth-shattering power on the battlefield.

"The Day of the Evil Phoenix!"

A colossal, sun-like evil phoenix descended from the sky, easily breaching a sturdy city wall.

The soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire, their morale soaring, followed closely behind and stormed into the city, unleashing a merciless massacre and occupation.

Feng Ling's target was clearly the major grain-producing regions and important industrial and mining cities in the eastern part of the Star Luo Empire. She wanted to completely destroy the Star Luo Empire's war potential.

On the other side, Harosa, dressed in a gray robe, led a right flank army of 200,000 men.

The Hades sword in his hand exuded a chilling aura of death.

His army moved silently, like a legion of death from the deepest hell.

Harosa's attack method is completely different from Fengling's burst.

He prefers to undermine his enemies from within.

Upon arriving at a city, the Shadow Guards and assassins under the command of the Straw-Clothed Man would infiltrate first, spreading panic, assassinating the garrison commander, and creating chaos.

When the city's morale is low and defenses are relaxed, Harosa's army will surge in like a tide and easily capture the city.

His Hades Sword was the nightmare of all the powerful figures in the Star Luo Empire.

Anyone whose sword is pointed at, no matter how high their soul power, will instantly lose all vitality and have their soul completely annihilated.

"The Road to the Underworld".

With just a flick of the Hades Sword, Harosa could completely shatter the resistance of an entire city.

Countless black chains surged from the ground, binding the Star Luo Soul Masters who tried to resist, constantly draining their life force and soul power, causing them to die in despair and fear.

Scorpion Tiger Douluo wandered like a ghost through every corner of the Star Luo Empire.

He led the assassination squad meticulously trained by the Straw Raincoat Man, specifically targeting nobles, wealthy merchants, and local officials who supported Dai Tianli.

"Twelve Beast Masters!"

The twelve phantom soul beasts, exuding the aura of Contra, turned each target mansion upside down under his control.

"Scorpion tail needle!"

His highly venomous scorpion stinger appeared and disappeared unpredictably, accurately reaping the lives of one important person after another.

Within just a few days, war broke out across the Star Luo Empire, and the country was in dire need of help everywhere.

Dai Tianli was trapped at Longya Pass, and a large number of elite troops were dispatched to reinforce Longya Pass, resulting in a weakened domestic defense.

This gave Fengling and Harosa an opportunity.

They were like two sharp knives, piercing the heart of the Star Luo Empire.

One city after another fell.

One noble family after another was wiped out.

The ruling order of the Star Luo Empire is collapsing at a visible speed.

Xue Lingxiao's strategic intentions are now crystal clear.

He had no intention of engaging Dai Tianli in a prolonged battle at Longya Pass.

Zhao Zilong at Longya Pass was merely bait, a distraction.

The real killer move is the combined forces of Feng Ling and Halosa, along with the assassination attempt by Scorpion Tiger Douluo.

He wanted Dai Tianli to watch helplessly as his empire gradually crumbled while he was trapped in a remote and isolated place.

This caused him more pain and despair than killing him outright.

Inside Longya Pass.

Dai Tianli finally received news from China.

But it wasn't good news of reinforcements arriving; instead, it was a flurry of urgent dispatches.

"Your Majesty! The important eastern city of Luoshui has fallen! General Wang, the garrison commander, has been killed in battle! Fengling's troops are advancing towards our core grain-producing area!"

"Your Majesty! The southern commercial center, Golden Radiance City, has been breached by Harosa! Lord Li, the city lord, and his entire family have been slaughtered! Harosa's army is advancing towards the capital!"

"Your Majesty! Urgent report from the capital! Several high-ranking officials, including the Minister of the Treasury, Minister of Military Affairs, and Minister Liu, were assassinated in their residences by unknown assassins last night! The capital is in a state of panic!"
