Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 627: Douling Royal Family
"Interesting. I didn't expect they could use this method."

Nan Fusheng looked at the information in his hand with a hint of interest in his eyes.

A day ago, the Holy Spirit Church suddenly took control of a federal soul-guided television station and announced that it was responsible for the attack on the East China Sea Fleet. For a time, an uproar broke out among the media.

The doves took the opportunity to launch a public opinion offensive. How can they resist foreign aggression if they are not at peace at home? The threat posed by the Holy Spirit Church is so great that it has reached an imminent level. Urge the Federal Parliament to pass a decree as soon as possible to suppress the Holy Spirit Church.

Although in fact, it is not easy to encircle and wipe out the Holy Spirit Church due to its secrecy, at least this can divert attention to a certain extent.

The public's attention also changed from supporting the war to worrying about the Holy Spirit Church. The change in public opinion had a certain impact on the military.

The doves launched a series of attacks on the hawks, mocking the hawks for being unable to fight against the Holy Spirit Church internally. Once the military goes on an expedition, how will the Holy Spirit Church take the opportunity to cause sabotage within the federation?
The doves' argument can be regarded as a roundabout way to save the country. They no longer oppose the war, but simply tell the people how terrible the Holy Spirit Church hidden within the federation is.

For a while, public sentiment was surging, and the doves finally gained the upper hand temporarily.

Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie publicly declared war on the Holy Spirit Church, and began a large-scale cleanup of the Holy Spirit Church, starting from Tianhai City.

Under such circumstances, war is obviously impossible to happen in the short term.

"And Gu Yuena, she seems to be heading to the other two continents as well." Nan Fusheng thought of what Gu Yuena had said to him not long ago. It seemed that the other party was also going to visit the Spirit Pagoda on the Douling Continent.

As a new Spirit Messenger, it seems quite normal to show up to the Spirit Messenger staff in the other two continents, right?

However, Nan Fusheng knew very well that showing up was just an excuse. Gu Yuena's real purpose was to confirm the matter of the artificial ten-thousand-year souls in the other two continents.

After all, can't something like showing one's face be done using ultra-long-distance soul communication?

Moreover, when Gu Yuena became one of the four great spiritual messengers, her information would probably also be transmitted to the persons in charge of the other two continents. At most, it was just because of the distance that the time was slightly off.

The artificial ten thousand year soul is the most important part of Gu Yuena's soul beast revival plan, and it is her reliance on it to control a large number of soul masters.

If she were to take action and control a large number of soul masters in Douluo Continent, but fail to control the soul masters in the other two continents, then things would get serious.

What Gu Yuena wants is to take over Douluo Star without bloodshed. If the human soul masters are forced into a corner, then the remaining soul masters on Douluo Continent will directly take those technical personnel to cooperate with the other two continents, and things will be troublesome.

Even if it can be successfully suppressed in the end, Douluo Star, which is already short of resources, will probably suffer even greater trauma.

This is not what Gu Yuena wants to see, so the soul promotion in the other two continents must be carried out simultaneously.

"It seems that the situation in Abonya is almost going through. I hope they won't start a fight by then."

……

Douling Continent.

Douling Empire, Imperial Palace.

Xue Yuntian looked at the report in his hand with a frown on his face. As the emperor of the empire, his life was not easy.

Ten thousand years ago, the descendants of the former Douling Empire migrated here. At that time, the descendants of the Douling Empire had reached the end of their rope, and the total number of people who were able to come to this continent alive was less than 10,000.

The resources they brought were few and far between. Most importantly, there were not enough talented people.

This is much worse than the later discovery of the Xing Luo Continent by the Xing Luo Empire, which led to its active migration and a large-scale transfer of millions of people.

Therefore, even though Xingluo Continent was developed much later than Douling Continent, it actually developed much faster than Douling Continent. After all, at that time, Xingluo Empire was able to bring too many resources and talents.

The Douling Continent was originally barren, and everything had to be started from scratch. Apart from the fact that the soul beasts were somewhat similar to those on the Douluo Continent, there were not even any indigenous humans on this continent. This was also the reason why the Douling Empire had difficulty in developing.

After the royal family came here, they changed their surname to Xue, which meant starting all over again. Finally, the country was thriving and developing gradually.

But after its development, certain problems emerged in the Douling Continent, that is, the nobility!

Yes. Even until now, there are still nobles in Douling Continent. Although the royal family is still supreme, these nobles also divide the royal family's rights to a certain extent.

It has developed, but not fully developed. This probably applies to the Douling Continent.

Coupled with the tacit suppression of the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda, the development of their soul guide technology was even slower.

The Tang Sect is the Douling Empire’s number one weapons supplier, and almost all high-end weapons technologies are sold to the Douling Empire by them.

But in fact, in order to avoid speeding up the technological development of the Douling Empire and causing resources to become scarce quickly, the Tang Sect has been very conservative and rhythmic in completing transactions with them over the past few thousand years.

"What should we do? The Spirit Pagoda is unreliable, but we don't have any other plan except the Tang Sect. I never thought that the rise and fall of a country would depend on a sect." Xue Yuntian thought bitterly.

When I heard that the Douluo Federation intended to start a war, it was absolutely impossible to say that I was not nervous.

As the emperor of the empire, Xue Yuntian often couldn't sleep at night. He knew very well that with the might of the Douluo Federation, if the war really started, the army of the Douluo Empire might not be able to stop it for even ten days. The gap in military strength between the two sides was too great.

As the weakest existence among the three continents, Xue Yuntian attaches great importance to intelligence.

According to statistics, the total population of the Douluo Empire is currently around 260 million, which is approximately one-tenth of the Douluo Continent and one-third of the Xingluo Continent.

It has a standing army of 400,000, including 100,000 logistics personnel. There are a total of ten main combat corps, two of which are naval. Its equipment level is far different from that of Douluo Continent.

According to military estimates, the three armies of the Douling Empire only have about 10,000 mechas combined, and the number of large soul-guided weapons is relatively small.

If the war really starts, even if there is only one mothership battle group on the Douluo Continent, it will be able to resolve the battle in a very short time. The 300,000 Douling Empire troops are equivalent to the strength of the 50,000 elite troops on the Douluo Continent.

The only advantage of the Douling Empire is probably the right time and right place. Compared with the Douluo Continent, they are more familiar with this continent, that's all.

The current strategy is that when the war starts, they will directly let the federal army enter the Douling Continent and fight with the federation on the continent, thereby delaying the war for a longer time, and then try to cut off the federal army's supplies and delay the war.

In addition, some people advocated that everything should be destroyed, saying that they would directly install high-explosive soul bombs on the cities and resource points of the Douling Continent, and then explode them directly when the federal army came. Even if they died, even if they exploded the Douling Continent, they could not let the federation gain any benefits from them.

Xue Yuntian of course rejected this kind of mutual destruction approach immediately, but there were still many people in the military who agreed with this idea.

In addition, there is a third, weaker voice that advocates peace talks.

The idea of ​​the peace talks faction is to advocate ceding territory and paying compensation to the federation, so that the federation will agree not to touch their interests and instead develop other places.

Anyway, the Douling Continent is so big, and they still have a lot of undeveloped areas, so a little bit of this won’t make a difference.

Damn, this idea is even more outrageous.

Xue Yuntian not only rejected this idea, he even secretly wrote down the little noble who proposed this idea, and planned to find time to deal with the other party after surviving this war.

Damn, the relationship is not yours, so you don't feel bad, right? If you dare to cede the land now, will you dare to cut off the emperor's head tomorrow and then go to please the Douluo coalition.

Of course, those who come up with this idea are basically the low-ranking nobles in the Douling Empire. They only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and as long as it doesn't threaten their own little piece of land, they won't care about anything.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Douling Empire was an empire, the surrender faction would probably occupy the majority, because they knew very well the gap between them and the Douluo Federation. This was qualitative and irreparable.

But what the imperial states worry about most is the interruption of the inheritance of their power, so they will never compromise with the federation under any circumstances.

Those nobles of high status also have a negative attitude towards peace talks because they are too deeply tied to the empire and have too much interest in it.

"Now we can only hope that the Tang Sect can be more reliable, otherwise the Douling Empire will be really finished." Xue Yuntian couldn't help but clench his palms tightly, and his nails pierced deeply into his palms.

Although the Xingluo Empire had formed an alliance with the Douling Empire a long time ago, the two continents were too far apart, making it very difficult to help each other.

In terms of the navy, this is also where the gap between the two empires and the federation is the greatest. It is not too difficult to cut off their connection with each other.

In desperation, Xue Yuntian could only turn to the two most powerful organizations in the world, the Spiritual Pagoda and the Tang Sect, hoping that they could help. The Tang Sect agreed, but the Spiritual Pagoda had an ambiguous attitude and took the opportunity to blackmail him.

Undoubtedly, they all wanted the resources on the Douling Continent. However, the Tang Sect was relatively open and aboveboard, saying that they would exchange resources for weapons, while the Spirit Pagoda wanted resources for nothing, and was only willing to promise that after obtaining enough resources, the Federation could temporarily suspend its military deployment.

After constant discussions with the top officials of the empire, Xue Yuntian still believed that the Tang Sect's plan was more desirable. At least, what the Tang Sect offered was visible and tangible.

The Spirit Pagoda was too vague. It was just a promise, but could such a promise really be useful in a war between nations? Even though the Spirit Pagoda had a huge influence, Xue Yuntian didn't dare to believe it!
But there is no list of what the Tang Sect can provide so far. It is only said that the Tang Sect leader will visit in person and bring what is needed.

Not long ago, the news of the attack on the East China Sea Fleet had been reported. It was said that the war could start at any time. Xue Yuntian was already extremely anxious. But the support from the Tang Sect had not arrived yet, so how could he not be anxious?

"Should I seek help from the Revelation Church?" This thought flashed through Xue Yuntian's mind, but he quickly rejected it.

The Revelation Religion is a new religious sect that emerged in the Douling Continent in the past two years. It advocates guiding mankind onto the right path, but the top leaders within the sect are unknown.

It was said that this sect had a method that could allow ordinary people to become soul masters, but only devout believers could get this opportunity. Therefore, this sect really attracted a large number of ordinary people to join.

Xue Yuntian was actually quite curious about this new sect and its novel doctrines, and he had personally met the Saint of the Revelation Church: Aponia.

At that time, the royal priest had seriously told him that the woman named Aponia was extremely powerful, at least stronger than him.

The one next to Xue Yuntian at that time was the strongest of the Douling Royal Family's worshippers, a Super Douluo with a cultivation level of 98. He was even stronger than that one, could he be an Extreme Douluo?

Such a strange super strong man suddenly appeared under the rule of the Douling Royal Family. Logically speaking, the Douling Royal Family should at least investigate.

Xue Yuntian did the same, but in the end he found nothing. This sect and this powerful man seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Of course, although the opponent is indeed very strong, for the Douling Royal Family who need strong support, it doesn't matter if the background is a little blurry. There are more than one or two worshippers with blurry backgrounds in the royal family, so as long as they are not evil soul masters, it doesn't matter.

At that time, Xue Yuntian had proposed that the saint girl could join the Douling royal family and become one of their worshippers.

But the other party smiled and shook his head, and only made a request: I hope that the Douling Royal Family can help them spread their doctrines and regard them as the state religion. In this way, they will naturally stand on the side of the Douling Royal Family.

No resources, just want to become the state religion? !

Although he was somewhat puzzled as to why the other party made this request, Xue Yuntian finally decided to agree. After all, he could bring along an Extreme Douluo, which was not a loss.

But unfortunately, in the end, due to the strong advice from the Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect, the plan was left unresolved.

These two major organizations seemed to have an inexplicable tacit understanding and took repressive measures against this emerging sect.

Among them, the Tang Sect had the biggest reaction, while the Spirit Pagoda's attitude in recent years has been somewhat ambiguous.

Xue Yuntian understood that these two major organizations must have information that he was not aware of, which was why they had dealt such a severe blow to this emerging sect, but he was unfortunately unaware of it.

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Xue Yuntian couldn't help but sigh. In order to avoid offending the two major organizations, he never contacted the Apocalypse Cult again.

He is not the first emperor to live such a miserable life, and he probably won’t be the last.

Since the establishment of the Douling Royal Family, the emperors of all dynasties have lived in such a miserable way. But it doesn't matter, he can't contact them, but his subordinates can.

Although the Apocalypse Cult was severely attacked by the Tang Sect, it was still alive and well. This may have been secretly instructed by Xue Yuntian.

According to what he has learned now, the famous nobles and even several princes in the empire often have private contacts with the Revelation Church.

"Could it be that they really have a method that can turn ordinary people into soul masters, and the two major organizations are suppressing them just to obtain this method?" Inexplicably, this thought flashed through Xue Yuntian's mind.
