Chapter 2882: Evacuation_1

Looking at the evil Soul Masters, they were continuously releasing soul skills, launching broad-range attacks on the area ahead. In just a few seconds, they had claimed the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of soldiers...

However, this did not stir their emotions in the slightest. Instead, it further incited the murderous intent in their hearts...

"Hahaha, what a powerful force. The ants of the Douling Empire stand no chance against us, they are but lambs to the slaughter!"

"Yes, with just a casual strike, you can hear those delightful screams, it's so wonderful!"

"Die! All of you go to die, and then become a part of my body, making me even stronger!!!"

"It's a pity that the Sect Hierarch's command is to destroy the Douling Empire Imperial Palace, otherwise, I would have drained every single drop of blood from these dead soldiers dry!!"

As soon as these words ended, another large group of soldiers turned to ash under these horrific attacks, not even leaving a complete corpse behind...

Standing atop the high wall, the commander of the Douling Empire, who had witnessed this scene with his own eyes, looked extremely distressed...

"Damn it, what should we do now??"

For him, this was not a battle; it was a unilateral massacre!!

There was no chance of victory at all!

The soldiers standing beside him couldn't help but speak up, "Damn, if this continues, the defensive line won't last much longer. How about letting our soldiers retreat?? Maybe we can preserve part of our forces!"

"Yes, with the way things are going, no amount of people will be enough for these evil Soul Masters to kill!!"

"Hmph, Emperor Xue Yuntian sends us soldiers to die, while he hides inside the imperial palace, surrounded by so many powerful Soul Masters. I am not content with this!"

"Right, an emperor like this isn't worth risking our lives for. We might as well leave the Douling Empire after the war!!"

"Sir, I implore you to order a retreat, we can't keep fighting like this!!"

Having heard their pleas, the commander clenched his fists tightly...

Then, suddenly, he released them...

Perhaps these soldiers were right; continuing the battle would only lead to needless sacrifice!

There was no need to go to such lengths for a cowardly emperor!!

With this thought, he immediately gave the order, "Convey my command, everyone retreat immediately. I will bear all the consequences that arise from this!"

He couldn't bear to watch all the soldiers of the Douling Empire die at the hands of evil Soul Masters!!

Upon hearing this decree, the soldiers' faces brightened with joy, and they began shouting to their comrades with all their might, "Soldiers of the Douling Empire, heed the order, retreat, retreat immediately!!"

Those soldiers, already in disarray, heard the command and without any hesitation, fled desperately toward the rear...

In an instant, the entire battlefield was left desolate, none of the soldiers willing to resist any longer...

Noticing the change, the dissatisfied evil Soul Masters said, "Dammit, these soldiers of the Douling Empire are trying to escape, chase them, kill them all!!"

"How can we let the food in our mouths escape!!"

"I was counting on devouring their essence to enhance my strength, how can we just let them go!!"

However, the leading Super Douluo level evil Soul Master glanced at them coldly and said in an icy tone, "Shut up, have you forgotten the Sect Hierarch's command?"

"Our true mission is to destroy the imperial palace, not to slaughter these soldiers who have no fighting power!!"

"If the plan is delayed, you will bear the consequences!!"

At these words, the complexions of the evil Soul Masters changed drastically...

No one was unaware of the fact that the Ghost Emperor could bestow them with great power but also take it away!

Seeing their reaction, the foremost one continued, "Now, keep pushing forward, and try to destroy the Douling Empire Imperial Palace before nightfall!!"

Although the evil Soul Masters were somewhat unwilling, surprisingly no one objected, and together they said, "Yes!!"

...

Not long after, the Daijin responsible for reporting the situation once again burst into the great hall...

With an anxious expression, he said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, this is bad, very bad!"

He even forgot about the status difference between them!!

Xue Yuntian covered his forehead and sighed, "What has happened now? Don't tell me the evil Soul Masters have already reached the imperial palace??"

The worst outcome he could imagine was just that!

The former shook his head, "No... not that, the current location of the evil Soul Masters is still quite a distance away from the imperial palace!"

Xue Yuntian froze, then said again, "If they haven't yet reached the imperial palace, why are you so panicked!"

The former hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, here's what happened: the soldiers sent to the front lines to stop the evil Soul Masters seem to believe there is no chance of victory, so... they've withdrawn on their own!"

"And when the soldiers at the rear learned about this situation, they also chose to withdraw!!"

"In other words, on their way to the imperial palace, those evil Soul Masters won't encounter any obstacles!!"

In simpler terms, the arrival of the evil Soul Masters at the imperial palace was just a matter of time!!

Upon hearing this, Xue Yuntian felt a headache starting again, "What about the reinforcements from Shrek Academy and the Xingluo Empire?"

The very situation he feared most had still occurred!!

This Daijin shook his head, "So far, we have not received any news from them; I'm afraid they are still on their way!"

"Or perhaps, the Xingluo Empire and Shrek Academy have not sent any reinforcements at all!"

Xue Yuntian said with an almost certain tone, "Impossible, I'm not sure about the Xingluo Empire, but since Shrek Academy has accepted the distress call from the Douling Empire, they can't go back on their word!"

"You, don't make wild guesses!!"

The former quickly lowered his head, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After a pause, he went on with caution, "But how should we deal with those evil Soul Masters? The soldiers of the Douling Empire are all unwilling to fight them!!"

Xue Yuntian forced himself to calm down and waved his hand, "Don't worry, when the time comes, the strong ones within the imperial palace will take action!!"

This Ghost Emperor, he still hasn't launched an attack on the imperial palace!

Could it be that from the very beginning, he never intended to do so?

If that were the case, sending out so many soldiers would have been nothing but a pointless sacrifice!!

However, what's done is done, and nothing said now could change that!!

He immediately issued his final order, "You, convey my command, let all the Soul Master strong ones in the imperial palace prepare themselves for a fight to the death!!"

This Daijin opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but then swallowed his words, "I understand, Your Majesty the Emperor!!"

He had already perceived the intent to face death that the former had displayed!

So, he had no intention of offering any words of consolation...

It wasn't until the former left that Xue Yuntian stood up from the throne, murmuring in a low voice, "Yun'er, if you hear the news, please don't come back to the imperial palace..."
