"During the assessment, I will not use the power of the Sea God Hall, nor will I use my last two Spirit Abilities," Bo Saixi said, her gaze calm as she looked at Xu Nianshuang and the others.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nianshuang and the others' expressions subtly changed, but their determined eyes remained unwavering.
Seeing this, Bo Saixi nodded to herself and said, "You have three days to rest and recuperate. Three days from now, you will undergo my assessment."
After speaking, Bo Saixi's figure floated upwards, disappearing like a red cloud in an instant... Star Luo Empire, Imperial Palace.
Dai Tianfeng sat on the throne, his face gaunt, while below, a multitude of officials gathered, exchanging uneasy glances, none daring to speak.
Ever since the news spread across the Douluo Continent that the Spirit Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire had successively sent troops to attack the Star Luo Empire, although they quickly devised countermeasures, they were still repeatedly defeated on the battlefield.
Coupled with the slow progress in requesting the Sun Moon Empire to send troops to counter the two Empires, the Star Luo Empire, from its noble Sects down to its common people, was gripped by panic.
Especially the high-ranking officials of the Star Luo Empire, whose political acumen was naturally keen. Seeing the Star Luo Empire on the verge of collapse, many of them had already secretly contacted people from the Spirit Empire, Heaven Dou Empire, and even the Sun Moon Empire, beginning to covertly plan for the future.
"Your Majesty, the two great Empires are attacking ferociously, and the marshal's resistance on the front lines is ineffective. A large number of merchants have already begun to sell off their assets. Now, the entire Empire is in a state of panic. What should become of the Empire? Please make a decision, Your Majesty…" The Duke of Zhu, who was Dai Tianfeng's father-in-law, knelt on the ground, his expression desolate.
Who on the Douluo Continent didn't know the relationship between their Zhu Family and the Dai Family? It could be said that anyone in the Star Luo Empire might betray them, but his Zhu Family was the one who least wanted the Star Luo Empire to lose.
The Hell Civet was merely a high-tier Spirit. It was only by relying on the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, the Hell White Tiger, that they occupied such a pivotal position in the Star Luo Empire. If they were in another place, their Zhu Family would likely plummet from grace.
As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
"Hoo…" Hearing his father-in-law's sorrowful voice, Dai Tianfeng took a deep breath, clenching and then unclenching his fists.
"Bang!!!"
Suddenly, Dai Tianfeng kicked and shattered the imperial desk in front of him, veins bulging on his neck, his eyes bloodshot, glaring fiercely at the trembling ministers kneeling below.
"You all are going too far, aren't you?!"
"The Empire has not yet reached its end, and you are already secretly planning to sell the Star Luo Empire for a good price? Are you worthy of your ancestors who fought bloody battles for the Star Luo Empire? Are you worthy of the soldiers on the front lines?"
Dai Tianfeng's furious roar echoed through the hall. Overlooking his officials, a hint of madness suddenly flashed in Dai Tianfeng's eyes.
Selling?
Can you sell more than I can?
I will deliberately not let you have your way, a cold sneer flashed across Dai Tianfeng's face.
"From this moment on, all ministers shall accompany me to the front lines to oversee the battle. Any defiance will be dealt with by military law."
The Empress of the Star Luo Empire stood resolutely behind Dai Tianfeng. The Hell Civet and Evil Eyes White Tiger Spirit phantom in the air were connected by their aura, and a giant Hell White Tiger appeared, its gaze chilling as it looked down at the many ministers below.
The chilling killing intent made everyone dare not offend the somewhat frenzied Dai Tianfeng at this moment.
Soon, Dai Tianfeng, who had caught many ministers off guard, led everyone towards the front lines.
The current standoff between the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Empire was on a plain. Some areas of the plain were raised, like small scattered hills, but they did not affect the overall flat terrain.
"Da da da…"
Dense footsteps echoed across the plain as hundreds of thousands of troops advanced towards the pass. The vast plain was densely packed with people, like a black cloud moving across the ground, a spectacular sight.
The armies of the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Empire were arrayed, facing each other from a distance. In front of the military formations, spirit tools were set up, ready to fire at any moment.
It could be said that the intervention of the Sun Moon Empire's spirit tools indirectly changed the original war situation on the Douluo Continent.
"Woo woo woo—"
Accompanied by a heavy horn blast, from within the Star Luo Empire's formation, over ten thousand light cavalry moved, tens of thousands of horses galloping, charging towards the flank of the Spirit Empire's formation.
The Spirit Empire side reacted swiftly as well; two heavy infantry legions quickly converged, using their massive shields to block the Star Luo Empire's cavalry.
Under the gaze of countless people, that light cavalry unit, after a round of volley fire, did not linger. Using their horse speed, they directly swept past the flank and returned towards their own side.
In the center of the main army, Bibi Dong, who had personally arrived, frowned and asked, "Do our light cavalry possess such skill? What was their intention just now?"
The generals of those light cavalry legions standing behind Bibi Dong were all silent, none daring to utter a sound.
"Hmph!" Seeing this, Bibi Dong already had her answer and let out a cold snort, "The Star Luo Empire truly lives up to its reputation as the Douluo Continent's foremost military power; it is indeed far stronger than the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Teacher, the Star Luo Empire's move is intended to disrupt our army's formation and observe if there are any opportunities to exploit," Hu Liena stepped forward and speculated.
"Nana's words are not without reason, but since I am personally overseeing the army, the Star Luo Empire's move is simply child's play. This war should come to an end," Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena, a subtle softness flashing in her eyes.
After a period of military training, Hu Liena had also matured.
"Order the spirit tool legion, do not be stingy with spirit tool shells, hit them hard! Holy Dragon Legion, release your spirit rings, attack from the flank of the Star Luo Empire's formation."
Brilliant light instantly shone from the Spirit Empire's side. Ten thousand Spirit Masters simultaneously releasing their Spirits was an absolutely magnificent sight.
Countless spirit rings flickered with white, yellow, purple, and black colors. Although they were as varied as their army, the terrifying aura that suddenly surged made the Star Luo Empire's army's breathing quicken.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
In an instant, countless gunfire flew, Spirit Abilities danced chaotically, and terrifying explosions echoed between heaven and earth. The terrifying aftershocks of the explosions were like ferocious beasts opening their bloody mouths, devouring the lives around them.
"What are you all waiting for? The survival of the Star Luo Empire rests on today! Everyone, push forward!" Just then, a sudden roar rang out, briefly overpowering the sounds of the chaotic battlefield.
Immediately after, a white meteor ascended into the sky, then transformed into a giant tiger over ten meters long.
The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Tianfeng.
Behind him, there were also hundreds of figures, all high-tier combatants of the Star Luo Empire. As they ascended, they decisively unleashed their respective Martial Soul True Body, daring not to hold anything back.
