Chapitre 866: Chapter 217 United_1
Inside the Imperial Palace Hall, Xu Jiawei remained silent for a long time.
He slowly sat back down on his throne, his eyes filled with bewilderment, as if his thoughts were wandering far away.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
After who knows how long, a series of calls finally brought Xu Jiawei back to reality.
"Dean Yan."
Xu Jiawei's gaze fell on Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe said, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to be lost in thought. I think you should issue orders and react."
"How should I react?"
Xu Jiawei asked subconsciously.
Yan Shaozhe replied, "Of course, by marshaling the army and launching a direct attack on the Sun-Moon Empire. At the same time, send word to the Douling Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire. The three great empires are in the same boat; they thrive together and suffer together. If war breaks out, they won't be spared from calamity either."
"Launch a direct attack on the Sun-Moon Empire? But we are not ready yet..."
Xu Jiawei was very hesitant.
And that was the truth.
To them, the Sun-Moon Empire was a colossal entity. No matter how loudly they boasted about going to war with the Sun-Moon Empire, when it actually came down to the day of battle, they lacked confidence.
The Sun-Moon Empire's ability to challenge the three great empires single-handedly wasn't just talk.
It was solid strength.
Asking the Xingluo Empire to initiate war still made him flinch.
"Your Majesty, how can you still hesitate at a time like this? If you don't attack them, they will soon deal with us. Besides, with the support of our Shrek Academy, it's not that we are without a fighting chance!"
Yan Shaozhe continued to tempt him.
Despite his calm appearance, inside, he was in fact going mad.
Completely mad!
His sole desire was to destroy the Sun-Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult, regardless of how heavy the price, something he hadn't even considered.
But now, with Shrek Academy severely weakened, he could only seek powerful allies.
The Xingluo Empire was the best target.
"Shrek Academy?" Xu Jiawei asked with furrowed brows, "I wonder how many experts Shrek Academy still has at its disposal now?"
Yan Shaozhe had anticipated Xu Jiawei would ask this, and he answered without hesitation, "There are hundreds of Soul King level experts, about 200 at the Soul Emperor level, 50 at the Soul Douluo Level, and 5 at the Titled Douluo Level. This is just the current lineup of experts at Shrek Academy. As more people learn of Shrek Academy's plight, even more powerful individuals will come."
After hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, Xu Jiawei's eyes flickered.
There's truth in the saying that a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
He hadn't expected that Shrek Academy could still gather so many experts after such a major upheaval.
"Your Majesty, are you still going to hesitate?" Yan Shaozhe said, "Strike first to gain the upper hand. If we wait for the Sun-Moon Empire to initiate the war, the three major empires will be put in a passive position. By then, it will be too late to turn the tide."
"Moreover, this battle is inevitable. If we go all out, we may not win, but if we shrink back, we are certain to lose. The outcome of failure is not something you can bear."
As Yan Shaozhe spoke to this point, Xu Jiawei's eyes gradually became determined.
He was right about one thing.
The war was inevitable, and if they didn't fight, they were bound to lose.
As for the fate of the losers, it was too ghastly to contemplate.
The downfall of the nation, the extermination of their home, and as the once royal family, the Xu family would undoubtedly be annihilated.
In other words.
The gamble was not just for the sake of Shrek Academy.
It was also for himself.
"Dean Yan is right."
Xu Jiawei nodded firmly, "I will immediately assemble the army and launch an attack on the Sun-Moon Empire!"
A look of joy appeared on Yan Shaozhe's face, "Good! Congratulations on making a wise choice, Your Majesty. If we can win and defeat the Sun-Moon Empire, our Shrek Academy will wholeheartedly support you in unifying Soul Land, making the Xingluo Empire the only empire on Soul Land!"
"Really!"
Xu Jiawei's eyes shone with astonishing brilliance.
At that moment, he was moved.
Although Yan Shao Zhe's proposition seemed far too grandiose, it did not prevent him from entertaining such fantasies.
After all, as a person,
one must have dreams. What if they come true one day?
...
Meanwhile,
at the Hao Tian Clan,
as several chimes of the bell echoed, Sect Master Niu Tian was jolted awake from the secret chamber.
"The bell chimes nine times; something significant must be happening. Could it be that we are under attack by a formidable enemy!"
"That's impossible. Who in this world could be an opponent for Hao Tian Clan? If they dare to launch a surprise attack on Hao Tian Clan, they are courting death!"
Niu Tian scoffed coldly, and his figure vanished in an instant.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Sect Main Hall.
At this time, several figures were already gathered inside the hall.
Each one of them looked ragged.
Their faces were etched with deep exhaustion.
Undoubtedly, they were the elders and Titans of Hao Tian Clan who had come to support Shrek City.
"Titan?"
Niu Tian stood outside the Sect Main Hall and couldn't help but call out.
Upon hearing him, everyone turned around in unison and respectfully greeted, "Sect Master."
It was indeed an interesting situation.
The foundation of the Hao Tian Clan was the Hao Tian Hammer.
The previous generations of sect masters were always the strongest in the Hao Tian Clan.
Now, the sect master of the Hao Tian Clan was actually two shape-shifted soul beasts.
It was sheer disgrace.
However,
when the situation is stronger than the person, even though many disciples of the Hao Tian Clan have great grievances about this, they can only seethe in silence.
"What has happened?"
Niu Tian couldn't help but ask.
"Big brother, this is a long story,"
Titan shook his head.
Not wanting to be stalled, Niu Tian said, "Then give me the short version."
"We were attacked by evil Soul Masters!" Titan thought for a moment and chose a few critical pieces of information, "Among the evil Soul Masters was a Level 99 powerhouse. I was no match for him, and I had no choice but to retreat with the strong members of the Hao Tian Clan first.
As for Shrek Academy, I believe it has completely disappeared from Soul Land. It is very likely that it will become a part of history..."
"What?" Niu Tian was greatly shocked after hearing Titan's account, "How could this happen?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect this to happen either... You know, I had helped Shrek Academy repel an attack by evil Soul Masters before, but I never anticipated they would return with even stronger forces," Titan said, shrugging helplessly.
"Big brother, what should we do? Should we mobilize all the forces of Hao Tian Clan to eradicate the evil Soul Masters?"
Hearing Titan's suggestion, Niu Tian immediately shook his head, "No, this matter is beyond our handling now.
From this moment on, nobody leaves the Hao Tian Clan. I'll go and consult with 'that person' to see how he decides..."
'That person'? Titan's eyes lit up, "Alright!"
