Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 93 War Is About to Break Out

With the weather turning cold and the king falling, the Oran Empire is doomed.

As soon as Xu Mingxi stepped into the Oran Empire, he saw a scene of widespread suffering and misery, especially in the towns bordering the Sun Moon Empire, where the streets were dilapidated and there were traces of soul-guided bombing everywhere.

Compared to the advanced soul-guided technology of the Sun Moon Empire, the Oran Empire was a poor and remote place, at a complete disadvantage in the confrontation between the two. The people had suffered from the ravages of war, and their eyes had lost their luster.

Unable to bear seeing this scene any longer, Xu Mingxi decided to change their living environment after obtaining her ninth spirit ring.

If they had the chance to plunder the Oran Empire's treasury, their national strength would decline, and they would soon be defeated by the Sun and Moon Empire. In that case, these people could join the Sun and Moon Empire.

He's such a good person. As for whether these people become commoners or slaves after joining the Sun Moon Empire, that depends on whether they've actually tried their best.

According to the information obtained by the Grand Elder, the Moon Worshiping Wolf King appeared in the largest soul beast forest in the Oran Empire seventy years ago. This soul beast forest is called Lanto and is located at the border between the Oran Empire and the Otto Empire.

Without hesitation, Xu Mingxi and his companions plunged into the depths of the Lanto Great Forest after failing to gather information in the surrounding towns.

The information about the Moon Worship Wolf King was outdated, so they could only start searching from the place where he had been found before. Fortunately, the Lanto Great Forest was far inferior to the Demon Forest in terms of both area and the number and age of the soul beasts within it.

That Moon Worshiping Wolf King is probably the strongest being here. With the strength of the four of them, they can move around freely without much trouble, but they don't need to worry too much.

To prevent any accidents, the four of them acted together. Xu Mingxi held the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit in his arms. Every night, he would occasionally draw down a few strands of moonlight essence from the sky. This would not only help the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit grow faster, but he also wanted to see if he could lure out the Moon-Worshipping Wolf King.

As a result, the Wolf King has not yet been seen, but quite a few other soul beasts have been attracted. Their desire for the essence of moonlight has even made them lose their minds, and they are attacking the group despite the pressure of the Grand Elder, who is a Title Douluo.

There was no other way, so Xu Mingxi could only collect a wisp of saliva every few hours in different places, specifically to attract the Moon Worshiping Wolf King. As for the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit, it would have to make do with it for a while.

Meanwhile, in Oran City, the capital of the Oran Empire, a simple-looking but luxurious soul-guided carriage drove into the imperial palace.

The two guards glanced at the carriage that had just passed by, then resumed their slacking off.

"Captain, the emblem on that carriage we just saw... it looked like the emblem of the Otto Empire's royal family."

"I don't know. We'll just do our duty properly. If we do less, talk less, and do less, we'll live longer."

Calm returned to the palace gates, but inside the palace, undercurrents surged. The Emperor of the Oran Empire sat on his throne, holding a golden letter in his hand, looking down at the richly dressed middle-aged man standing below.

"Is that really what Tony thinks, or is this just your Otto royal family falsely conveying his orders?"

"Your Majesty Lance, how could we dare? His Majesty Tony is the greatest figure in our Otto Empire, and this letter was written by his own hand."

"Hmph, I'll consider it. Guards, show them out."

"Then I'll trouble Your Majesty Lance to give a reply as soon as possible. This is the best time. If we wait any longer, our two great empires will have no chance at all." As the envoy left, the hall fell silent again. Lance sat in his seat, looking at the letter in his hand again and again.

He certainly didn't believe what the Otto Empire envoy had said. Tony had long been stripped of his power by the Otto royal family, and this letter was most likely written under their pressure.

On the issue of the Sun and Moon Empire, Tony has always been a proponent of peace, but the letter he has sent now is full of intentions to start a war. Lance has reason to suspect that Tony has been completely defeated in the power struggle in the Otto Empire.

The Otto Empire wants to start a war, and it's impossible for the Oran Empire to remain unscathed. It will inevitably drag the Oran Empire into the conflict, which is exactly what Lance is currently troubling him.

Lance was unaware of the situation in the Otto Empire, but he knew about the Oran Empire. Apart from the royal family having an aging Title Douluo, they had no other capable combat force.

In terms of soul tools, the Oran Empire is far inferior to the Sun Moon Empire. If a war breaks out, the Oran Empire may be quickly destroyed. It would be better to let Lance enjoy the throne for a few more days.

I wonder what those people in the Otto Empire are thinking. Could it be that they have some kind of backing that makes them dare to start a war with the Sun Moon Empire?

It couldn't be just because two major cities on the Sun Moon Empire were destroyed and a few Soul Douluos died, Lance couldn't figure it out. However, this didn't stop him from mobilizing the forces of the Oran Empire and preparing for the upcoming war.

On the carriage leaving the Oran Empire, the Otto Empire messenger glanced back at the capital of the Oran Empire and revealed a cunning smile of triumph.

He could tell that Lance was already tempted, and he couldn't help but be tempted as well. In this way, he could complete the man's order, and after the matter was accomplished, he would surely be promoted and ennobled.

Recalling the terrifying power of that lord, the messenger couldn't help but tremble. It was no wonder he was afraid of death; that lord was definitely not someone they could withstand. Rather than waiting to die, it was better to fight back.

The powerful members of the Otto Empire's royal family gathered in the palace of Otto City, and Emperor Tony of the Otto Empire was surrounded by them, his face grim.

"Do you realize that you are hastening the demise of my Otto Empire?"

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. Your Majesty, I have already broken through to the legendary Title Douluo level. With the help of the Grand Elder, and by combining the power of our two great empires, we can definitely defeat the Sun Moon Empire completely."

"You, you, you're so confused, Toba! Do you really think only our two great empires have hidden titled Douluo? Do you really think the Sun Moon Empire has no hidden strength?"

"Brother, there's no point in saying more now. Just wait for my triumphant return, and then I'll abdicate and pass the throne to a more worthy successor."

As the crowd dispersed, Tony collapsed onto the throne. How could he not know that Toba was coveting his position and just looking for a reason to force him to step down?

However, attacking the Sun Moon Empire was also his original intention. Ever since Toba broke through to the Title Douluo level, he believed that he was absolutely no less than Xu Zilong.

The royal family members also believed that now that the Sunrise City and Moon Sheng City of the Sun Moon Empire had been completely destroyed and suffered heavy losses, even if Toba couldn't defeat Xu Zilong, he could at least hold him off. When the two great empires launched their attacks, they would surely achieve victory.

If only it were that simple. Tony sat alone in the empty palace, his sighs echoing for a long time.
