"Your Highness."
"How is the condition of the Body Douluo, Your Excellency?"
Inside the command tent, Xu Jiujiu furrowed her brows tightly, looking toward the soldier before her.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Body Douluo, Your Excellency, only suffered from excessive exhaustion and has no serious injuries. News from the Body Sect side says he should recover by tomorrow morning."
Xu Jiujiu nodded upon hearing this, but her expression did not improve much.
In the battle during the day, the three great empires had been practically defeated by a single person. Although the Sun Moon Empire had not pursued too deeply, without a countermeasure, tomorrow the three great empires could only continue retreating in defeat.
"Does the Body Douluo, Your Excellency, have no method to deal with the opponent?"
"None."
Xu Jiujiu shook her head somewhat disappointedly. "What about Shrek Academy? Have they sent any reply?"
"None as well."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu raised her head and looked at the others inside the tent.
The Star Luo Empire still had to guard against the southern battlefield near Yuming City and had not sent many Title Douluo here, but most of the experts from the Dou Ling Empire and Heavenly Soul Empire were concentrated in this place.
"I wonder who can take the field tomorrow, and what method there is to resolve our predicament?"
"This…"
The people exchanged glances with one another, their eyes constantly sweeping over the others, yet no one dared to speak at this moment.
Against an opponent whom even Du Busi, after using his second awakening, could not defeat, it was even less likely for anyone else to think of a way to cope.
"Your Highness, the opponent's strength is unfathomably profound; even the Body Douluo Your Excellency is no match. The only way to deal with him now is to rely on numbers. If several experts act together, perhaps they can hold him back."
"That would not be appropriate."
Just as one Title Douluo spoke, someone beside him interrupted. "Everyone has already seen that person's methods clearly today. Even if the Body Douluo Your Excellency managed to hold him, the undead army on the ground showed no sign of dispersing."
"Even if we all rush him together, I'm afraid we still wouldn't be able to completely pin him down. Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire has other experts. Once our people get held up by the opponent instead, the other fronts will also be doomed to defeat."
"What's more, everyone felt that person's strength during the day. Apart from the Body Douluo, Your Excellency, even if all of us attacked together, how long could we possibly hold him? In my opinion, perhaps only if Shrek Academy's Taotie Your Excellency and the Body Douluo Your Excellency act together would there be a chance."
"Hmph." Someone nearby let out a cold snort. "Undead is merely an evil soul master who only knows how to rely on external forces. The Sun Moon Empire is cooperating so openly with an evil soul master. I think it won't be long before chaos erupts within them."
At this point, anger appeared on many faces. Although they were not soul engineers, they could more or less see that during the daytime battle, the soul guidance devices on Lin Xiao's body had played a significant role.
However, among the three great empires, there were no ninth-level soul engineers. Even if someone could discern the secrets of Lin Xiao's soul guidance suit, with their level, they could not determine exactly how much that set of soul guidance devices had boosted Lin Xiao's strength.
The sound of arguing continued in his ears, yet Xu Jiujiu, seated in the main position, remained silent for a long time.
Although she was young, she had already accomplished much on the battlefield. She had even united the Heavenly Soul Empire and Dou Ling Empire to form a three-nation allied army, using the same tactics as Ju Zi back then, launching a counteroffensive in the south while breaking through the northern defense line, advancing all the way to the walls of Tiandou City.
But in the face of absolute strength, one person's power was an insurmountable chasm they could never cross.
Some Title Douluo gradually began to understand. Although they had always looked down on soul engineers who relied on external tools instead of fighting with their own strength.
In a real battle, this kind of "external force" was also a form of strength.
In the past, the Sun Moon Empire had simply never produced a Super Douluo, which led countless soul masters to believe soul engineers were far inferior to soul masters.
But now, quite a few people's convictions were beginning to waver. After reaching the Title Douluo realm, their strength had not improved for a long time. Perhaps using soul guidance devices was also a way to elevate one's power?
"Report—"
Inside the tent, some were cursing in low voices, others were sitting in silent contemplation. At that moment, another person rushed into the tent.
Xu Jiujiu's eyes lit up. "Is it news from the spies in Tiandou City?"
But the expression on the reporting soldier's face was somewhat strange.
"Or is the mission not going well?" Xu Jiujiu also realized something.
"Your Highness, our spy has returned safely, but his movements have already been discovered by the Sun Moon Empire."
"What did you say?" Xu Jiujiu's expression changed slightly. Even she could not immediately guess why, if the Sun Moon Empire had discovered the spy's movements, they would still let him return.
"Bring him in."
"Yes."
In an instant, the entire tent fell silent. Not only Xu Jiujiu, but everyone else also wanted to know what the current situation inside Tiandou City was like.
Soon, a figure with absolutely no cultivation entered the tent. The Sun Moon Empire's detection soul guidance devices could detect soul power fluctuations on soul masters. Since the three great empires had no way to counter the detection devices, they could only send ordinary people into the city.
"How were you discovered?"
At this point, Xu Jiujiu skipped all other pleasantries and immediately asked the question she cared about most.
"Reporting to Your Highness, this subordinate is originally from Tiandou City. After entering the city, I tried to contact old acquaintances to inquire about the situation inside, but unexpectedly, I was betrayed by an old acquaintance."
"Did the Sun Moon Empire use some kind of method?"
"No." The soldier shook his head, his face even more bitter. "Reporting to Your Highness, the Tiandou City of today is already completely different from before…"
As he spoke, he recounted everything he had seen and heard after entering Tiandou City, and also explained that the current Tiandou City was no longer a place where everyone hoped to return to the rule of the Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial family.
After the Sun Moon Empire entered Tiandou City, the lives of ordinary people had actually not been greatly affected; in fact, they had become much more convenient than before. For most ordinary people, Tiandou City had merely changed hands to a different group of rulers.
"In the end, the people from the Sun Moon Empire allowed me to return and tell others everything I had seen and heard."
"Did you manage to find out any other information?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, I did. The expert from daytime is precisely the current State Preceptor of the Sun Moon Empire. His name is unknown, but others call him the Catastrophe Douluo."
Xu Jiujiu listened, and suddenly it was as if all her strength had been drained; she leaned back against the chair. "You may go down first. Rest well these next few days and do not meet with outsiders."
"Yes."
The soldier's body stiffened slightly, but he still responded and slowly withdrew.
The tent instantly became completely quiet.
Whether it was Xu Jiujiu or the surrounding Title Douluo, the name "Catastrophe Douluo" was not particularly useful information. What truly disheartened them was that the Tiandou City of today was no longer the same Tiandou City that had once been under the rule of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
