Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 197, A Bold Plan

Headless corpses fell one after another, and blood flowed like a river.

"The rest of them had their left little fingers cut off and were assigned to the vanguard Soul Master unit to atone for their crimes through meritorious service."

At Meng Bei's command, the little fingers of everyone else were chopped off, including Huo Zhen's.

Meng Bei then used his soul skill to permanently freeze the severed little fingers and had them collected.

"If any of you perform great deeds in the future, you can come to me to redeem your fingers. I will arrange for an eighth-ring healing soul master to reattach your severed fingers."

Upon hearing this, much of the resentment that had arisen in everyone's hearts due to the severed finger vanished.

After all, Meng Bei said that as long as one performs meritorious service, there will be a chance to reattach the severed finger in the future.

After the matter was over, Meng Bei prepared to return home.

He had done a lot that day and needed a good rest.

Let's relax!

By the way, his current residence is the former royal palace of the Kingdom of Silves.

On the way, a subordinate came to report that there was a person named Feng Xiaotian in the Soul Master Alliance who wanted to see him.

After thinking for a moment, Meng Bei basically guessed why Feng Xiaotian had come to find him.

Previously, Chenxiang had complained to him that Feng Xiaotian had deliberately let Huowu go during the battle, and now it seems that this was for that reason.

Meng Bei pondered for a moment, then instead of going to see Feng Xiaotian, he instructed his subordinates to convey the message:

"Tell Feng Xiaotian that Huo Wu is not dead, but needs to atone for her sins. Only by making great contributions can Huo Wu regain her freedom."

The men took the order and left.

Soon, Meng Bei's words reached Feng Xiaotian's ears.

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian clenched his fist and secretly vowed in his heart:

"Fire Dance, wait for me, I will definitely get you out of here!"

The palace was brightly lit.

Queen Sylvester and her daughter, one older and one younger, were kneeling on the ground dressed as maids.

Huo Wu followed beside her, holding a similarly revealing maid outfit, which she hesitated to put on.

"Fire Dance, think it through. You don't want to drag your family into this, do you?"

"Despicable, scoundrel!"

Huo Wu gritted her teeth tightly.

But thinking of her brother and grandfather, Huo Wu finally gave in.

"You won't get away with this!"

Huo Wu lay on Meng Bei's shoulder and bit him hard, but she couldn't break through his skin.

Then came the princess, and the queen...

Afterwards, Huo Wu, with tears of humiliation, repeatedly rinsed the filth from her body with clean water.

"Am I that dirty?"

Meng Bei walked in at some point.

Huo Wu glared at him.

"Dirty! Dirty! Dirty!"

Meng Bei turned and left.

Huo Wu's words made him feel a little insecure.

After thinking for a moment, he used a teleportation talisman to bring Xiao Wu over.

"It's not dirty, Xiao Wu loves to eat it!"

Xiao Wu looked at Meng Bei with her bright, sparkling eyes.

Meng Bei smiled and hugged Xiao Wu in his arms.

"My little Wu is the best!"

In the time that followed, Meng Bei's task was to wipe out all the remaining forces in the Silves region, as well as the small and medium-sized sects that had left the alliance like the Burning Flame Sect.

These former rebels will all be incorporated into the advance force, which, to put it bluntly, is to wear down the troops and contribute to the cause of the Alliance.

However, Meng Bei didn't need to do these things himself.

He has two talented subordinates.

One is Feng Duo, who is strong, tactful, and efficient, and is one of his most trusted lieutenants.

The other person is Yang Wudi. He is stubborn and, although not as smooth as Feng Duo, he will complete any military order given by Meng Bei meticulously. In some ways, he is more useful than Feng Duo.

The two worked together to sweep through the Silvis region, conquering the entire region within a month. Although the nobles of the Silvis region had outwardly submitted, they had not paid any substantial price.

Now, Yang Wudi and Feng Duo, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, have swept through these people and squeezed out assets worth a full 90 million gold soul coins, as well as 338 elite soul masters and 145 junior soul masters with innate soul power exceeding level five.

These people will all be added to Mengbei's current power structure as fresh blood and strength.

In addition, officials from the Empire’s exclusive dispatch were forcibly placed in the official positions of the cities in the Sylves region. In the future, the Sylves province will be directly under the Heavenly Dou Empire, just like other provinces of the Empire, and will pay taxes to the Empire.

Thus, the era of the Kingdom of Sylves was over, and the Heavenly Dou Empire officially launched an internal purge.

A month after King Sylves was executed, Windlord led 100,000 cavalry and a vanguard of Soul Masters in a brazen attack on the Kingdom of Barak, shattering the peace within the empire.

If the previous attack on the Kingdom of Sylves could be considered to have some justification, then this attack is pure aggression.

Of course, from the empire's perspective, it was about subjugation.

A week after Fengduo launched his campaign, two cities of the Barak Kingdom had already fallen. Only then did Xue Qinghe slowly issue an edict explaining the reasons for the campaign.

The reason for the military action was that King Barak's fourth wife was King Silvis's sister.

Clearly, this is a lame excuse.

The royal family wants to take action against these countries.

The other three countries absolutely cannot tolerate the Barak Kingdom being destroyed by the Empire like the Silvis Kingdom.

If we continue to sit idly by this time, they will be the ones attacked next.

The neighboring kingdoms of Sylves and Barak, Hagendas, immediately dispatched troops to aid the Barak kingdom.

The reinforcements deliberately avoided the area bordering the Silves region, choosing instead to enter the Kingdom of Barak from below the Sword Mountain Range to aid King Barak.

Unexpectedly, Meng Bei had anticipated this, and thus dispatched Niu Gao to lead 50,000 infantrymen to guard Jianshan, blocking the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Haagen-Dazs.

Meanwhile, Windbell relentlessly pursued the Kingdom of Barak, and relying on its overwhelming strength, quickly breached the kingdom's capital.

Huo Zhen fought extremely hard during the siege, and his eighth soul skill, Fiery Meteor, smashed open the city gate, allowing the army to enter.

Afterwards, Meng Bei returned the severed finger to Huo Lie and arranged for someone to reattach it.

The only regrettable thing is that the king of Barak was not captured again.

The king was quite shrewd; sensing something was amiss, he escaped in advance on a golden lion, fleeing to the city of Soto.

In the end, Windbell only captured King Barak's queen, princess, and prince, but not the king himself.

After fleeing to Soto, King Barak immediately gathered nearby nobles and ministers to regroup. He believed that as long as he held on, other countries would find a way to rescue him.

The war continued.

During this time, Häagen-Dazs' reinforcements were blocked by Niu Gao at Jianshan.

However, this was not the entirety of the reinforcements.

The Kingdom of Gulei and the Duchy of Tianshuang, which are relatively far apart, also sent a large number of troops to provide support.

These two support forces joined forces with Häagen-Dazs' second support force, forming a three-nation alliance. They decided to advance from the Ice Soul Grassland and directly attack the city of Silves!

They planned to take advantage of Meng Bei's troops being out on the front lines and his weakened position to send troops directly to the enemy leader. Once they killed Meng Bei, the Imperial Marshal, the entire battle line would collapse without a fight.

In the eyes of the Three Kingdoms, this was not impossible. Although Meng Bei was very strong and could rival a Title Douluo, as long as there were enough troops, even a Title Douluo could be overwhelmed!
