Chapter 2876: Dead End_1
On the other side, as Xue Yuntian issued his command, the soldiers from the imperial palace received the news and began to pour out...
The powerful ones of the Douling Empire who noticed this situation all showed expressions of confusion...
They could not help but discuss among themselves, "What are these soldiers doing? Why aren't they guarding the imperial palace? Instead, they are all leaving, and His Majesty the Emperor is still here!"
"Yes, what are they up to, staging a rebellion? Or are they planning to flee??"
"No... It's not that simple; look carefully, there's something off about these soldiers' expressions, as if they are prepared to face death!!"
"Hiss... It does seem to be the case. Could it be that these soldiers have received orders from His Majesty the Emperor to evacuate the imperial palace??"
"What's the use of discussing all this here? Just grab a soldier and ask, and we'll know the truth!"
The Soul Douluo who spoke immediately intercepted one of the soldiers and demanded, "Stop right there, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry??"
Upon hearing this, the soldier responded with a pained expression, "Sir... His Majesty the Emperor has just given us orders to immediately proceed to the frontline!!"
The Soul Douluo Warrior frowned, "To the frontline? What are you soldiers going to do on the frontline??"
It was known that among these soldiers, there weren't many Soul Masters, and even if there were, their soul power ranks were pathetically weak!
Going to the frontline, aside from being human shields, they had no other use whatsoever!!
The soldier answered truthfully, "It seems the defensive line at the front has been breached again, and the Evil Soul Masters are advancing towards the imperial palace. His Majesty the Emperor has commanded us to stop them!!"
The Soul Douluo Warrior became even more puzzled, "If we're going to confront those Evil Soul Masters, why haven't we been notified??"
Including himself, it seemed that not a single Soul Master above the rank of Soul Douluo had received His Majesty the Emperor's orders!
Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor has no intention of sending Soul Masters to face the enemy?
The former shook his head, "Sir, that... I do not know!"
With that, he did not wait for a response and left the imperial palace, gripping his weapon...
And other powerful Soul Masters also witnessed this scene...
In their hearts, a common question emerged...
His Majesty the Emperor, what exactly are you planning to do??
...
Xingluo Empire!!
One of the Daijin bowed slightly and reported, "Your Majesty, just now, the Douling Empire's Xue Yuntian has sent another call for aid!!"
Dai Yueyan, sitting on the throne with a slightly haggard look, said in a complex tone, "One request after another for aid, this is not in Xue Yuntian's character. It seems the Douling Empire is at the end of its rope!!"
Hearing this, the other Daijin also expressed their suggestions...
"Your Majesty, I believe we cannot ignore the plight of the Douling Empire. If the Ghost Emperor slays Xue Yuntian, it will have a serious impact on our Xingluo Empire!"
"That's right, if the Douling Empire falls under the control of the Ghost Emperor, with his God Rank strength, I fear that the Holy Spirit Cult will resurface in a short time, bringing disaster to the entire Human Plane!!"
"For this reason, we should send reinforcements!!"
"Your Majesty, I disagree! With a terrifying existence like the Ghost Emperor, even Shrek Academy has not been able to kill him. Sending warriors from the Xingluo Empire is tantamount to sending them to their deaths!"
"You're right, the Douling Empire has always been wary of us, the Xingluo Empire. Why should we spend such a huge price to support them?"
"Besides, if the Douling Empire is destroyed, won't all those rare resources end up in the hands of our Xingluo Empire??"
Dai Yueyan glanced at them, "It's easy for you to say, but if the Douling Empire falls, the entire Continent's Soul Masters will be turned into Evil Soul Masters by the Ghost Emperor, at least tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands!!"
"If so many evil Soul Masters launch an attack on our Xingluo Empire, it won't be easy to hold them off!"
One of the Daijin swallowed hard and cautiously inquired, "Does this mean, Your Majesty, that you agree to support the Douling Empire?"
Dai Yueyan did not answer, but instead countered, "What about Shrek Academy? Have they decided to send Elders from the Sea God's Pavilion to assist?"
The former was stunned, but quickly recovered...
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it seems that Shrek Academy has already decided to provide assistance. As for how many Elders from the Sea God's Pavilion will be sent, that is currently unknown!"
Dai Yueyan sneered, "How many Elders? It's already good enough that Shrek Academy is willing to help the Douling Empire!"
Those Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, with the lesson from last time, will definitely not send out all the Elders with great strength!!
Therefore, the most likely to be dispatched are the Shrek Seven Monsters!
Especially that Xie Xie, who seems to have saved the life of Xue Yuntian from the hands of the Ghost Emperor!
Immediately, he ordered, "You, go and invite the State Preceptor here now!!"
The former naturally did not dare to object and responded before leaving the imperial palace...
It wasn't long before En Ci, exuding an aura of light, walked in with his head held high...
Instantly attracting everyone's attention!
He saw him salute with a fist, "Your Majesty the Emperor!"
Dai Yueyan gestured slightly, "State Preceptor, there's no need for formality, please take a seat!"
In the entire Xingluo Empire, the only man who could sit with him was the one right in front of him!
En Ci nodded slightly, then firmly took his seat beside the throne...
"Your Majesty, may I ask the reason for your summons?"
Dai Yueyan explained, "The Ghost Emperor, after the last great battle, fled to the Dou Spirit Empire and has transformed a portion of powerful evil Soul Masters!"
"He is currently ordering them to launch attacks on the area where Xue Yuntian is located, breaching the defense lines multiple times and causing a crisis in the Dou Spirit Empire."
"Therefore, Xue Yuntian has requested assistance from our Xingluo Empire, and I wish to hear your opinion, State Preceptor!"
Upon hearing this, En Ci's expression turned thoughtful...
He had heard about these matters too...
But the idea that the Dou Spirit Empire is in crisis raises a significant doubt!
With this in mind, he finally said with a grave face, "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, the Dou Spirit Empire also has many powerful Hyper Douluo and even Ultimate Douluo!"
"With them present, the Dou Spirit Empire should not have been pushed to this extent!!"
Dai Yueyan pursed his lips, "Hmm, I remember you telling me about this matter before, but as it stands, those powerhouses of the Dou Spirit Empire have not made a move!"
"Could it be that they have been killed by the Ghost Emperor?"
En Ci gave him a look and affirmed, "We cannot dismiss that possibility, after all, the Ghost Emperor has broken through to God Rank, and his strength has exceeded the scope of Soul Masters; he cannot be judged by ordinary standards."
If it were himself, he too would not dare to guarantee survival in the face of the Ghost Emperor who had become a God!!
With affirmation, Dai Yueyan once again asked, "Then, State Preceptor, do you think we should provide support to the Dou Spirit Empire?"
