Douluo: Qian Renxue’s Road to Defeating the Gods

Chapter 517. Border Storm (Part 517)

"Pull it down for me!"

The deputy general made all the generals fall into silence, and then left the tent after receiving the order. Tang Long leaned against the tent, imagining the beautiful dream of defeating Ge Long and capturing Xue Qinghe alive tomorrow.

The generals who left had complicated thoughts, they knew that if they continued fighting like this they might not be able to take the city even if all their men were killed, but what happened to that deputy general... well, he was a soul master from the Haotian Sect, the number one sect in the world, how could he look down on these soldiers? In their eyes, how could a soldier's fate be decided?

The generals came to the camp and listened to the painful cries from time to time. Their moods all sunk to the bottom. The enthusiasm for promotion had faded, and now looking at the countless dead and wounded soldiers made them sober.

"In the battle tomorrow, we will surely defeat the rebels and return home with honors! Tomorrow!"

"General, we don't want to be promoted, we just want to go home, but I think it's impossible for me to see my family again. I asked someone who can read to write a letter, hoping that the general will have mercy and send the letter back home."

The soldiers were in low spirits, and the general quickly ordered the messenger to collect all the letters in their hands and send them back home. He knew that they would also end in a miserable defeat tomorrow, but they could not say it, after all, the head of the previous example was already hanging at the gate of the camp.

On the second day, Tang Long came to the city gate in high spirits. This time he planned to take part in the battle himself. In sharp contrast, there was no trace of spirit in the eyes of the soldiers of the Tiandou Empire. Ge Long saw all this.

"Damn Tang Long! He really doesn't care about the lives of Tiandou soldiers!"

Ge Long was extremely angry, but with only 20,000 soldiers, he did not support him to go out of the city to meet the enemy and kill Tang Long to incorporate this group of troops. He could only stay in the city and kill these loyal soldiers with his own hands. He felt very sad.

"Marshal, now there are less than 10,000 soldiers left out of the 20,000 troops, and Tang Long has already put on his armor and is ready to fight. I'm afraid he has made up his mind. This should be the last battle."

"Yes, brothers, it's the last battle. I intend to go out of the city to meet the enemy. You protect His Highness and leave here." Ge Long was confused. He could not surrender, otherwise he would be betraying Xue Qinghe, but he did not want to kill people from the Tiandou Empire, so he had to choose to die on the battlefield.

"Qinghe disagrees." All the generals looked back and saw Xue Qinghe wearing armor and coming to the city wall.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this!"

Ge Long was a little surprised. Could it be that Xue Qinghe was going to put on armor and go into battle? This was too dangerous.

"Marshal Gelong, Qinghe has not been able to sleep well these days. In the past, because of my cowardice, I let the soldiers go home. My original intention was for the empire, but I didn't expect that it was also because of this that more Tiandou soldiers died. The blame lies with me. It is only now that Qinghe has figured out that fighting is the only way to stop the war. A big mistake has been made. Qinghe is sorry to everyone. I just want to kill that bastard in this last battle to comfort the heroic souls of the Tiandou soldiers!"

Ge Long looked at Xue Qinghe steadily, and finally sighed, "Okay, but since you choose to fight in the army, you must obey my orders, understand?"

"Yes, Marshal!"

"Order, open the city gates. Today's battle goal is only one, and that is to kill Tang Long!"

"Kill Tang Long!" The soldiers roared, and their fighting spirit had reached its peak!
"Brother Long, they are coming out!" Tang Hu pointed, and Tang Long squinted and saw that the city gate was slowly opening. Are they surrendering?

But when he heard the army roaring to kill Tang Long, he smiled contemptuously, "Want to kill me? Stupid, but they don't choose to be cowards. This is a good opportunity, kill them!"

At Tang Long's command, the Tiandou Empire army also began to charge, but when the generals rushed to the opposite side, they saw that the leaders, Ge Long and Xue Qinghe, were a little hesitant. "Hurry up and retreat, our only target today is Tang Long and Tang Hu!" Ge Long roared, and the leading generals and soldiers were also at a loss for a moment, they also hated Tang Long and Tang Hu.

The soldiers were the first to react and quickly made way for them. When the generals saw the soldiers doing this, they shouted, "All soldiers, pay attention! Cut off their way back to the city. Don't fight them!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers ran towards the city gate one after another, and Tang Long couldn't help but nod his head in affirmation as he watched this scene, "Good, smart, cut off Ge Long's retreat, so that they can't return to the city! Haha... Not bad, not bad..."

Just when he was feeling complacent, Tang Hu seemed to have discovered something strange. This Ge Long actually marched straight in, unstoppable. The soldiers on his side didn't even have the energy to resist him, and his target...

"Oh no, Brother Long! They are coming for us!"

"Ah?" Tang Long was stunned. He looked carefully. How could it come so fast? It was almost rushing to his face!
"Damn, get out!"

Tang Long knew very well that Ge Long was a genuine Soul Douluo, and he was just a Soul Emperor and could not resist him at all.

"The eighth soul skill!"

Seeing that the two brothers Tang Long and Tang Hu had entered his attack range, Ge Long immediately activated his martial soul's true body and cast his eighth soul skill, smashing towards Tang Long. The deputy generals, who were also at the Soul King level or above, also smashed their soul skills towards the two of them.

"Someone, stop them... stop them..."

But their shouting did not attract anyone to help, and the generals all watched the scene with indifference. Perhaps before they died, they felt a little regretful that they had not been nicer to those generals and soldiers.

With a loud explosion, the two men turned into a wisp of green smoke, leaving no trace!
"Ha ha…"

Ge Long and others laughed heartily. They finally got rid of this bastard, which also comforted the heroic souls of the dead Tiandou soldiers!
"Marshal." Xue Qinghe walked to Gelong. The next step should be to lay down his weapon, right?

The most unexpected thing happened. The generals of the Tiandou Empire knelt down one after another and asked for surrender to Golong.

"You are doing this. Your family is still in the Tiandou Empire. Why are you doing this?"

"Marshal, we have never believed what Xue Beng said about His Highness Qinghe killing his father and colluding with the Spirit Hall. Moreover, from Xue Beng's various actions, we have discovered that he is just a puppet of the Haotian Sect. Only His Highness Qinghe can truly lead the Tiandou Empire to prosperity. He is a truly wise ruler, so please accept our surrender."

Gelong was silent. At this time, the soldiers surrounded him one by one and asked, "Marshal Gelong, Your Highness Qinghe, we don't want to fight anymore. Can you let us go home, just like you treated those soldiers before?"

"Do you... all want to go home?" Xue Qinghe looked at these soldiers in a trance, their faces full of desire to go home.

"..." Xue Qinghe looked at the group of soldiers with a serious face, his mind full of mixed feelings.
