Douluo: Qian Renxue’s Road to Defeating the Gods

Chapter 518: Border Storm (Part 518)

The atmosphere on the battlefield was extremely tense. Xue Qinghe had just promised to fight the avalanche to the end and also promised not to participate in issuing orders, but...

But Ge Long was troubled when he saw the soldiers who had no fighting spirit and only wanted to go home. Could they really go home as they wished? How could Xue Beng sleep well if he and His Highness were not dead?
"You are all warriors of the empire, loyal fighters. Let me ask you one question. Do you really believe what Xue Beng said? I am an unfaithful and unfilial person who killed my own father and colluded with the Spirit Hall?"

The soldiers shook their heads. Xue Qinghe had been the crown prince for so many years and had participated in many political affairs of the Tiandou Empire. He was a loyal person and lived a simple life. More importantly, even when there was a war with the Xingluo Empire, he did not increase taxes. After the war, he was the first person to propose living in peace with the people and reducing taxes. He was well-known in the Tiandou Empire.

"Your Highness is definitely not that kind of person. In fact, everyone of us knows that all of this is just Xue Beng's rhetoric. In our hometown, almost even three-year-old children know that His Highness Qinghe is a truly wise king, and Xue Beng's decadent and promiscuous life has become a popular topic after dinner."

The soldiers are the most honest people. Their words are undoubtedly the most truthful and their eyes are sharp. However, years of oppression have made them lose the will to resist, and confusion is their real state.

"Since everyone thinks so, do you think that if I don't die, Xue Bian will let you go home? If I don't die, he will definitely organize a large army to destroy me and Marshal Ge Long again, and then there will be a war with the Spirit Hall. Do you think everything will be fine after you go home? No, after you go back, Xue Bian will definitely force you into the army again, fight me again, and fight the Spirit Hall again. And I'm afraid that not only you, but even your brothers will be forced into the army by Xue Bian."

Xue Qinghe's words were powerful and made the soldiers realize that their so-called return home was just a wishful thinking.

"Since everyone wants to go home, Qinghe doesn't want to stop them, so please bring my head to Xue Beng to help you all. As long as you have my head, Xue Beng will definitely not make it difficult for you to join the army again. This can be regarded as the last thing Qinghe does for everyone."

Xue Qinghe wanted to draw his sword and kill himself, but just as his sword reached his neck, Ge Long swung his sword and deflected it. He grabbed Xue Qinghe's arm and glared at him: "What are you going to do!"

"For everyone's sake, this is all I can do."

"you!!"

Ge Long gritted his teeth and looked at Xue Qinghe, but the scene that followed shocked him deeply.

The soldiers were deeply moved. Seeing is believing. Now they saw that Xue Qinghe could use his life to exchange for their peace. How could they watch Xue Qinghe die? And Xue Qinghe was right. If Xue Qinghe didn't die, how could they go home? Even if Xue Qinghe died, there would be another war with Wuhun!
"Only His Highness Qinghe is the future of the Tiandou Empire. Xue Beng is the disloyal and unfilial person. Are we going to sacrifice ourselves for that disloyal and unfilial person?"

"Yes, if His Highness Qinghe became the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, it would not become like this!"

"We are not leaving. Your Highness Qinghe, please lead us back!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers knelt down before Xue Qinghe and swore their loyalty. Ge Long stared at the soldiers under his feet in amazement. He didn't understand why the soldiers who were about to leave suddenly decided to stay and even counterattack Tiandou!

Aren't they afraid that Xue Bian will threaten their families? No, that's not right. Xue Bian's army is already very few. If he chooses to persecute them, it will definitely cause greater chaos. Before, it was because Xue Bian still had 100,000 soldiers that His Highness released the 80,000 soldiers. Now that Xue Bian's 100,000 soldiers have been sent out, there are only a few soldiers left in the country, and they are no longer able to threaten their families.

"Okay, okay, okay, Qinghe hereby promises that if the counterattack is successful, we will definitely give everyone a bright future, a new era without oppression, where everyone is happy and everyone has a smile on their face! There will be no so-called nobles, no so-called common people, and everyone is equal!"

After he finished speaking, everyone was excited. People cheered and jumped for joy, their eyes filled with longing for the future. They believed in Xue Qinghe, the kind-hearted prince, and he could definitely do it!
"Marshal Ge Long, Qinghe doesn't understand military affairs, please give the orders!"

"…Uh, okay, okay, pass on my order! Enter the city, everyone rest!"

Then the army entered the city. Xue Qinghe had just taken off his armor in the city when he suddenly realized there was someone behind him. He knew who it was when he smelled the familiar scent. "Your subordinate greets His Holiness the Pope!"

Bibi Dong in the shadows smiled and nodded slightly, "Well done."

"No, it's all your Majesty's credit. Ying was just following your Majesty's plan!"

Ying lowered his head. In the past, the person he admired most was Qian Renxue, who went deep into the Tiandou royal family alone and fought alone. Not only did she win Xue Ye's trust, but she also became the crown prince!
And now, there is one more, that is Pope Bibi Dong, who is in charge of all matters, and it seems that things always develop according to her ideas.

"I wonder when Your Majesty intends for me to launch a counterattack against Tiandou?"

"Don't worry. The gifts for you are on the way. It won't be too late when they arrive. Besides, the 80,000 soldiers you released have not yet taken effect. When they take effect, it will be time for you to counterattack."

Bibi Dong revealed a confident smile. The matter on the Tiandou side was finally finished. After that, it would be the matter of the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Empire. Haotian Alliance, let me see how you guys will deal with my layout.
"Gift?"

"You will understand later, Ying. Everything from now on depends on you. I believe that the person who is chosen by my daughter must have extraordinary abilities. She believes in you, and I believe in you too. Don't let her and me down..."

"Your Majesty and Young Master, please rest assured that Ying will never fail in his mission!"

"it is good!"

"Farewell, Your Majesty."

Bibi Dong left. A few days later, when the emperors of the five principalities arrived with their armies, Xue Qinghe finally understood what Bibi Dong's so-called gift was.

The emperors of the five principalities of Tiandou brought their respective domestic armies to gather with Xue Qinghe and expressed their loyalty to jointly fight against Xue Beng!

Inside the big tent, only Xue Qinghe and Ge Long were sitting inside.

"Humph, you didn't help us when we were in the most difficult time. Now you come here, obviously because you think we have won and are valuable, so you come to help us. You have evil intentions!"

"Well, although the five duchies are our vassal states, they are also a country. It is understandable that they have such thoughts. But what they said is very interesting." Xue Qinghe smiled faintly.

"You mean, they think that Your Highness is the orthodox one. If you want to mobilize them, you must announce to the world that you will fight against Xue Beng. Otherwise, they will go back immediately. What do they mean by forcing Your Highness to fight against Xue Beng? Do they think Your Highness does not want to fight against Xue Beng?"

Goron expressed the doubts in his mind.

"Maybe I let 80,000 soldiers go and caused them to misunderstand. Never mind. Having their help is a good thing. Now, I'm afraid Avalanche won't be able to sleep well!"

"That's true, haha..." Ge Long and Xue Qinghe laughed heartily. Just as they thought, Xue Beng's eyes were red and he hadn't slept for several days.
