Chapter 142 The Tian Dou Empire collapses and retreats to Tian Dou City.
"Grand Preceptor, why has the army retreated without a fight?!"
Avalanche gazed at the routed legion, saying in disbelief.
These were a full 100,000 archer cavalrymen, how come they started retreating after less than an incense stick's time on the field?
Looking at the countless fleeing soldiers, a look of astonishment flashed across Yu Xiaogang's face.
It should be noted that the entire Tang family army was involved in this charge, and they were able to kill at least a thousand Soul Kings.
But with the army's defeat undeniable, Yu Xiaogang knelt on one knee and firmly stated:
"Your Majesty, please organize the army and prepare for battle."
At this moment, Avalanche was still in a daze. His army of 100,000 had been driven back just like that?
He almost collapsed into his seat, on the verge of a mental breakdown.
He was only an emperor who had been on the throne for less than a year, and he did not yet have the mental fortitude to accept everything before him.
"Imperial Advisor, where is my teacher?"
Now that things have come to this, Xue Beng is pinning his hopes on the Haotian Sect.
The Haotian Sect has seven Title Douluos. If they were to take action, they would definitely be able to stop Bibi Dong's attack.
"Well, King Lan Hao's whereabouts are unpredictable, so I don't know the specifics either."
Yu Xiaogang feigned doubt.
Of course he knew where Tang San was; he was definitely training in the Star Dou Great Forest right now.
The mistress has been making rapid progress lately, and is now almost at the level of Contra.
At this critical juncture, he absolutely refused to let the mistress get involved.
Xiao San was his most prized disciple. It would be best if the Heavenly Dou Empire wasn't destroyed; if it was, they could simply relocate to the Star Luo Empire.
"What should we do?!"
The avalanche was filled with despair and anxiety.
Without Tang San, he couldn't possibly command the Haotian Sect members.
Although the Haotian Sect had already deployed many people to garrison the royal city, he did not want to be the ruler who guarded the city.
The Heavenly Dou Army has been wiped out; what use is there in defending the royal city?
On the other side, the routed army had already fled back to the encampment of the million-strong army.
They went with 100,000 people, but less than 30,000 returned.
The Holy Dragon Legion did not foolishly continue the pursuit; no matter how strong they were, they could not defeat a million-strong army.
Avalanche walked out of the camp in a sullen mood, and looking at the group of defeated soldiers, his mood became even more depressed.
After scanning the area, he still couldn't find the person.
He looked at Goron's adjutant and asked sternly:
"Where is Marshal Goron?"
The officer lowered his head when questioned, then said in near despair:
"Marshal Goron has fallen."
"sacrifice?"
Avalanche felt as if his brain had exploded, leaving him with no energy to think.
"Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice."
He muttered to himself for a long time, looking as if he had aged ten years.
That was the Grand Marshal he had personally appointed, yet he died so hastily because of a single charge.
"All soldiers, heed my command! Follow me into battle!"
The avalanche roared.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"
Seeing the avalanche's impulsive actions, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly spoke up to stop it.
Avalanche is merely a Soul King; if he were to actually go into battle, he would be instantly killed by the enemy.
Without a leader, the Heavenly Dou Empire might be engulfed in internal strife.
"Imperial Advisor, what should I do?!"
The avalanche, like a helpless child, cried out for help to Yu Xiaogang.
But what ideas did Yu Xiaogang have? He was proficient in martial spirit theory, not military strategy.
"Your Majesty should remain calm. Our Heavenly Dou Empire has countless powerful warriors, and there are certainly soldiers who can rival Marshal Golong."
Yu Xiaogang could only continue to offer words of comfort.
"From this moment forward, you are the Marshal of my Heavenly Dou Empire."
Avalanche turned his gaze to the adjutant from before and said solemnly.
The adjutant was stunned.
The title of marshal is not a reward, but a death warrant.
He was just a lowly military officer, yet he risked his life to command a million-strong army.
"Su Mo, are you alright?"
Hu Liena rushed over with 80,000 heavily armed soldiers, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Su Mo.
"I am a peerless Douluo, how could anything happen to me?"
Su Mo put his arm around Hu Liena's shoulder, his tone very relaxed.
"Still being stubborn! How weak is your soul power?"
Hu Liena hugged Su Mo with heartache, as she could sense that Su Mo had already exhausted most of his soul power.
"What, want to help me replenish my soul power?"
While teasing Hu Liena, Su Mo gave her a quick pat on the buttocks.
"Hate!"
Hu Liena blushed slightly and nervously looked around.
Fortunately, the army was busy advancing and no one noticed Su Mo's little trick.
"Grand Preceptor Su, it seems your plan is working well."
Qian Daoliu appeared beside Su Mo at some point, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Great Venerable One, is that what you've come for?"
Su Mo seemed to have anticipated Qian Daoliu's appearance, and simply said calmly.
"Yes, how is she now?"
Qian Daoliu asked cautiously.
When he mentioned her, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
"She's fine, but it's impossible for her to leave Poseidon Island."
Su Mo said.
"really."
Qian Daoliu's disappointment was palpable.
But for him, the most important thing is the Spirit Empire and the inheritance of the Angel Clan.
In any case, he could not leave the mainland and live on Poseidon Island forever.
But soon, his expression returned to normal, and he smiled faintly:
"It's time to end this war!"
With a wave of his hand, six elders suddenly appeared.
This move left Su Mo dumbfounded.
Does Qian Daoliu possess some hidden power? Where did these six people come from?
"Gentlemen, follow me into battle! It's time to warm up our fists and feet."
Qian Daoliu shouted.
The six retainers agreed repeatedly and marched toward the army together with Qian Daoliu.
Tang Chen is dead, and no one in the Heaven Dou Empire can rival him.
At Su Mo's call, the entire army of the Spirit Empire was mobilized, and even Bibi Dong led the elders in a fierce attack on the Heavenly Dou.
Countless titled Douluo pressed in, and the Heavenly Dou Army was forced to retreat in defeat, all the way back to the royal city.
"Imperial Preceptor, are you still unable to find a teacher?"
Xue Beng sat in the palace, looking worried, and asked.
"Your Majesty need not worry. All the titled Douluos of the Clear Sky Sect are already stationed in Heaven Dou City. The Spirit Empire will definitely be kept out of the city."
Yu Xiaogang said respectfully.
"Um."
The anxiety in Xue Beng's heart did not dissipate.
The Heavenly Dou Empire has been passed down for so many generations, is he really going to become the ruler of a fallen kingdom?
After several days of fighting, most of the million-strong army had been wiped out, and many towns and villages that originally belonged to the Heaven Dou Empire actually surrendered and chose the Martial Soul Empire.
"From this day forward, there will be no need to pay agricultural tax for five years. In accordance with the old Spirit Hall regulations, everyone can enjoy free spirit testing, and all spirit masters can receive subsidies from the Spirit Empire."
"Long live the Spirit Empire!"
The villagers cheered with joy.
They had expected to be met with an even more brutal rule, but to their surprise, the Spirit Empire was so considerate of the people's plight, directly exempting them from taxes for five years and even providing free spirit testing.
