Chapter 288: The Great Pass
In a luxurious villa in Wuhun City, Mo Bai was lying comfortably in a small pavilion in the backyard to escape the summer heat. In front of him was a large artificial lake with fish playing in the water. He was enjoying a leg and shoulder massage from several beautiful maids. His life was so comfortable.

After becoming a god, one needs divine power to upgrade. There is not much meaning in practicing in the mortal world, so Mo Bai chose to give up. Suddenly, a beautiful woman in the Pope's clothes appeared in front of him. Needless to say, he knew that this was the queen.

Waving her hand to signal the maid to leave, Qian Renxue handed Mo Bai two battle reports, then walked naturally behind Mo Bai and massaged his shoulders.

"Sir, here is the battle report you requested."

Because of the upcoming war, the two had not had an in-depth exchange for some time. How could Mo Bai not know Qian Renxue's resentment? However, he chose to ignore it directly and pretended to look through the intelligence.

The battle report came from Xie Yue and Yan. After taking a casual look at it, Mo Bai threw it directly on the stone table with a smile on his face.

"These two guys have really made a lot of progress recently. Yan, let alone, has already picked up a big bargain. Xie Yue had the most difficult time, but he still bought us a few days, he deserves a reward, and Feng Xiaotian has also performed well. Your Holiness, what do you think?"

Feeling the increasing force on his shoulders, Mo Bai had to ask the people behind him for their opinions, but this was not what Qian Renxue wanted, so she lowered her head and whispered in Mo Bai's ear:

"Others have received rewards, but has the High Priest ever considered me? I've been working very hard lately, so shouldn't you give me a reward as well? Haven't you noticed that I've lost weight recently?"

As the actual controller of the Spirit Hall, the reason why Mo Bai can live such a carefree life is inseparable from the contribution of his virtuous wife Qian Renxue.

However, knowing is one thing, but the reward makes Mo Bai a little embarrassed. After all, there is always a cow that is worked to death, but there is no land that is plowed to death. This is also the reason why he hid in Wuhun City.

Facing Qian Renxue's coquettish tone, Mo Bai's whole body suddenly became stiff, and he could only smile awkwardly but politely.

"Xue'er, stop messing around, let's talk business now."

Qian Renxue knew that Mo Bai was guilty. In fact, she was just teasing Mo Bai. Now the entire Spirit Hall affairs were on her head, and she didn't have much time to make love with Mo Bai.

Of course, if Mo Bai agreed, she would not refuse. After all, she also wanted to have a child of her own, but her stomach had not responded for such a long time.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. So what do you think we should do next?"

Seeing Qian Renxue return to normal, Mo Bai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He turned around, hugged Qian Renxue on his lap, and gave her a big kiss as a reward.

"Now is the time to start the decisive battle. Let Yan bring back a legion to garrison, and let the other legions be handed over to Commander Xie Yue. In addition, the three Poison Douluo also come back to defend the city and clear the main road to let the Xing Luo army in.

As long as Lingyun Pass cannot be captured for a long time, the Xingluo army will definitely be in turmoil. At that time, Xieyue will cooperate with Davis to capture Jiayu Pass for me and completely cut off the supply of Xingluo Empire. "

Lingyun Pass is the name Mo Bai gave to the outer pass of Wuhun City, which means lofty ambitions. This move of cutting off the source of food is extremely cruel. The food consumed by an army of one million people is as much as a small mountain every day. As long as there is no food supply for three days, the army will have a hard time sustaining itself.

Qian Renxue also knew about Davis' affairs. When Mo Bai ascended the throne as Pope, he reached an agreement with him. With his past prestige, he should be able to take control of the situation quickly.

"The follow-up issues have been resolved, but what about the present? You don't really think that three soul master corps can stop a million-strong army, after all, they are all the elite troops of the Xingluo Empire." "Don't we still have 200,000 surrendered soldiers available? The combat effectiveness of the Barak Kingdom's army is still good. With the steepness of Lingyun Pass, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"It's not that I don't trust them, but the time is too short. If a rebellion occurs, we will regret it."

"So, I helped these noble lords to settle their families."

Qian Renxue was now completely speechless. She had opposed Mo Bai in the beginning, but she didn't expect that Mo Bai had already set a trap for that group of nobles. Now that Mo Bai had made up his mind, as his wife-to-be, she naturally had to support him.

"Then what are you going to do, Tang San? He has offended you so badly. If we don't kill him, there will be endless troubles."

"Of course we have to kill Tang San, but there is no rush, otherwise it may affect the glorious image of Your Majesty the Pope. I have my own arrangements for this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."

Yan quickly received Mo Bai's order and immediately led his Second Legion to rush towards Lingyun Pass. The rest was left to Oscar to lead to meet Xie Yue.

In the battle of the canyon, Oscar's performance impressed Mo Bai, so he gave him this important task. As for whether he would rebel, Mo Bai was not worried at all.

Xie Yue also opened the road, and without any obstacles, the Xing Luo army finally arrived at Lingyun Pass a few days later, and Tang San and Yu Xiaogang also caught up with their families.

In order to cover up his incompetence, Yu Xiaogang attributed all the reasons for his failure to the collusion between the Tiandou nobles and the Spirit Hall. The Xingluo Emperor did not say anything. Instead, he and the Crown Prince Dai Mubai warmly received them. As for what the generals below thought, no one knew. Anyway, none of them took the Tiandou National Master seriously.

In the next few days, the Xingluo army did not rush to attack, but entered a state of rest. The generals certainly would not be idle, and they also began to survey during this time. However, the more they observed, the more frightened they became.

Mo Bai is not short of money, so Lingyun Pass was naturally built at great expense. The total length of the city wall is about thirty miles and fifty meters high. Excluding the base, the top of the city wall alone is thirty meters wide, which shows how solid it is.

Not to mention the supporting facilities, all that can be used have been moved into the city, and the main feature is its grandeur. It is not an exaggeration to say that Lingyun Pass is now a military fortress.

Moreover, the location of Lingyun Pass is impeccable. It is surrounded by cliffs and ordinary people cannot cross it at all. If they want to bypass it, they can only go through the Xingdou Great Forest.

There are so many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that it is difficult for a large army to move forward, and a small force would be seeking death. It can be said that Mo Bai has blocked all roads. If one wants to enter the Wuhun City, the only way now is to attack head-on.

Faced with such a fortress, not to mention the Xingluo generals, even the Xingluo Emperor, who was a Titled Douluo, felt nervous.

At the critical moment, the number of troops that can be seen is at least hundreds of thousands. If he really storms, even if he succeeds, it is estimated that there will not be many of his million-strong army left. How can he face the subsequent Wuhun City and Holy City?
He could not afford the loss of a forced attack, but if he did not fight and retreated in disgrace, there was no need for him to continue being the emperor. Helplessly, Emperor Xing Luo could only take his men back to discuss a strategy.

Three days later, Emperor Xingluo finally issued a declaration of war to the interior of the country.
