"Hear my command!"
All the ministers immediately became serious.
"My Heaven Dou Empire's hundreds of thousands of troops, plus thousands of Spirit Masters, will begin establishing the Jiayuguan Defense Line. We will also send diplomatic personnel to the Star Luo Empire to negotiate and jointly defend against the Heaven Dou Empire."
"The First Legion will go to Fasinuo Province to defend the Xiling Mountain Range."
"The Second Legion will go to the Northern Province to defend the Jintie Mountain Range."
"The Third, Fourth, and Fifth Legions will go to the Lingdou Plains to establish three defense lines."
"The remaining Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Legions will head to Jiayuguan!"
"The Ninth and Tenth Legions will serve as logistics legions!"
"All Spirit Masters will be dispersed among the various legions, with Jiayuguan being the most important. If Jiayuguan falls, the Spirit Hall can directly target Heaven Dou City."
Listening to Qian Renxue's orders, everyone was inwardly startled, not expecting that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also had a rather good strategic view.
At this moment, a military general stepped forward.
"Your Highness, the Jiayuguan Defense Line is very good, but are we not defending Fasinuo, Barak, and Silves?"
Qian Renxue shook her head: "You also know that most of these three places are plains. The Spirit Hall's strength is immense, and we simply cannot defend them; it would be a futile sacrifice."
"It's better to give up a part. Most of the Spirit Hall are Spirit Masters and do not have many administrative personnel, so they lack the ability to manage these three areas."
"As long as we can withstand the Spirit Hall's attack and launch a pincer attack with the Star Luo Empire, we can still reclaim them later."
Everyone nodded.
Although there was their Baocheng City to the north of Spirit City, Baocheng City could not withstand the Spirit Hall's attack.
Breaking through Baocheng City and bypassing the Sword Mountain Range, it would truly be a flat plain, with no ability to stop them.
Their Heaven Dou Empire had hundreds of thousands of troops, but they were all ordinary people; it was too difficult.
Therefore, this Jiayuguan Defense Line was still very good.
It was composed of the Xiling, Jintie, Tianling, and Hongyu mountain ranges, along with Jiayuguan.
The attack routes were relatively fixed, greatly reducing defensive pressure.
The greatest defensive pressure should be Jiayuguan and the Lingdou Plains.
These two places were closest to Heaven Dou City.
"Your Highness, what about the Sunset Forest? The Sunset Forest can also directly enter our Heaven Dou Plains, which is not far from our Heaven Dou City."
As this person spoke, he was met with rebuttals from some people.
"Are you joking? With so many Spirit Beasts in the Sunset Forest, how difficult would it be for the Spirit Hall's army to pass through?"
"Exactly, there are even Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts inside. They aren't fools."
"But the Spirit Hall is now cooperating with Spirit Beasts on the spirit soul system," that person continued.
Qian Renxue shook her head: "As far as I know, although the Spirit Hall cooperates with Spirit Beasts on spirit souls, it is only for spirit souls. One of their conditions for cooperation is not to enter the Spirit Beast forest."
"Therefore, they will not come to Heaven Dou City through the Sunset Forest."
Everyone nodded; this made sense.
If the Spirit Hall's people could still enter the Spirit Beast forest, wouldn't that mean they could still kill Spirit Beasts at will? How could there still be cooperation then?
But they did not know that the cooperation between the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Beasts was larger and more extensive.
"Alright, that's it."
...Star Luo Empire.
"I didn't expect the Spirit Hall's speed to be so fast. In just a few days, they've wiped out both the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"They truly are ruthless." Star Luo Emperor said in a deep voice.
"Father Emperor, now that the Spirit Hall has made its move, we cannot just wait idly," Dai Weisi said.
"That's right, if I'm not mistaken, people from the Heaven Dou Empire will be here soon."
"Why?"
"Of course, to cooperate with our Star Luo Empire. They alone cannot withstand the Spirit Hall's attack." Star Luo Emperor smiled.
"Is this a joke? How much hatred is there between our Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, and they still want to cooperate with us?" Dai Weisi frowned.
"No! We need to cooperate with the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Father Emperor!" Dai Weisi looked at him in disbelief.
"Although our Star Luo Empire is strong, a one-on-one fight would definitely not be a match for the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall's strength, with the help of that person Xiao Ze, has grown by more than just a notch."
"The emergence of spirit cores and spirit souls has made the Spirit Hall of this era the strongest!"
"Therefore, we need the Heaven Dou Empire's help."
"Our Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire are now in a situation where we prosper together or suffer together."
"You should understand the principle of 'when the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold'."
Dai Weisi lowered his head: "I understand, but I'm afraid many people will not allow Father Emperor to do this."
"Hmph!" Star Luo Emperor's eyes revealed killing intent: "Do I need to discuss what I want to do with them?"
This was the Star Luo Emperor's confidence.
One must know that the emperors of the Star Luo Empire basically rose to power by killing their brothers; each one was extremely strong, with no weak ones.
Coupled with the Star Luo Empire being founded on martial prowess, its overall strength is now considerably higher than that of the Heaven Dou Empire.
His imperial power was also very stable, so he was not afraid of those ministers at all.
If these ministers refused, there would be others who would!
"Alright, go prepare, and firmly grasp the legions in your hands. Do not let those generals overstep their authority."
"Yes."
After Dai Weisi left, Star Luo Emperor's expression was troubled.
After the Spirit Empire's last military action against the Clear Sky Sect, there had basically been no large-scale actions afterwards, only minor skirmishes.
But this time, they were truly serious.
They directly annihilated two of the Upper Three Sects.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, due to Xiao Ze's relationship, was still on good terms with the Spirit Hall, even to the point of being in cahoots.
Then their two great Empires could basically only rely on themselves; there was no one to help.
Those hidden aristocratic families would also not bother with such matters.
Because they always avoided worldly affairs like these, they only wanted to cultivate well.
Furthermore, facing the Spirit Hall, very few aristocratic families had the courage to oppose it.
Currently, the Spirit Hall likely had dozens of Titled Douluo.
Such an enemy was too terrifying.
He himself had no confidence in his heart. Even if the two great Empires combined had a million troops, could these million troops truly withstand the Spirit Hall's attack?
"Alas... It's a time of trouble. I hope it comes a little later."
..."Finally back. Things will get busier and busier from now on," Xiao Ze said.
"Mm, in a while, the Spirit Empire will be established, and we'll go to war against the two great Empires," Bibi Dong nodded.
"That fast? Have the matters of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire been resolved?" Xiao Ze asked.
Bibi Dong placed her leg on Xiao Ze's thigh, letting him massage her.
"Almost. Heaven Dou Empire's Xue Ye has fallen, Qian Renxue has taken power. The message said that she established the Jiayuguan Defense Line."
"Although it looks like a formidable defense line, it has a fatal weakness."
