Douluo: Tang Hao kills me, the son pays for the father's debt

Chapter 291 Yan's Protection Oath
After such an intense battle, every soldier who survived on the top of Lingyun Pass was injured. Those who could still move began to support each other and barely gathered together, waiting for the healing soul master to send down the holy light. Those who could not move could only lie quietly in a pool of blood waiting to be discovered by the destined person.

As the supreme commander of Lingyun Pass, Yan had already become a bloody man, with blood dripping from his body, some of it his own, but more of it coming from the soldiers of the Xingluo Empire.

With 70% to 80% of his soul power consumed, he didn't know how he had managed to hold on until now. He was still standing completely relying on his unyielding will, or rather, anger.

After this great battle, Yan has regarded everyone as his most trusted comrades. Many people did not actually need to die, but Mo Bai had not sent any reinforcements, which led to this consequence.

Seeing that the survivors were properly resettled, Yan finally let go of his worries and turned to walk towards the city. He couldn't let these good brothers die in vain.

Arriving at the Spirit Hall, Yan forced his way in despite the obstruction of the knights guarding the hall. He did not intend to rebel, but wanted an explanation.

Mo Bai had been paying attention to the battle on the city wall. He had been worried all the time and only now did he feel relieved. Qian Renxue brought him food, but Yan arrived shortly after he sat down.

Seeing the couple having a meal, and thinking of the bodies of his brothers still lying on the top of the city wall, Yan's eyes immediately turned red. He walked closer, knelt heavily, and said loudly:
"Lingyun Pass Guard, Yan, has successfully completed the guard mission and has come to report to His Holiness the Pope."

Yan deliberately did not salute Mo Bai. His heart was full of grievances, but he did not dare to vent, so he could only express his dissatisfaction in this way.

"General, you have worked hard. No need to be polite. Please stand up."

Mo Bai did not express his opinion, so Qian Renxue had to stand up. This title of general was also her reward and affirmation to Yan. From this moment on, no one could shake Yan's position in the Spirit Hall.

Seeing that the wounds on Yan's body were still bleeding, Qian Renxue took the initiative to activate her martial soul to heal him. There were not many people in the entire Wuhun Hall who could receive such treatment, and now there was one more.

Yan did not obey Qian Renxue's instructions. Instead, he stretched his body straight and looked at Mo Bai with an unwilling look. Such behavior was considered disrespectful in the Spirit Hall and would be severely punished.

Qian Renxue did not blame him. She understood Yan's grievances. In fact, even she was a little puzzled, so she took this opportunity to start attacking Mo Bai.

"Explain it, my great worshiper."

Seeing Qian Renxue starting to act like the Pope, Mo Bai could only smile helplessly, then turned around and started scolding Yan.

"You have no respect for your parents. Have you forgotten the rules? Go out and get twenty lashes yourself."

The Spirit Hall cannot be without rules. If anyone who has been wronged comes to him to cry, he will be annoyed to death. Twenty lashes are not painful to Yan, it is just a small punishment,

Yan is now a meritorious contributor to the Spirit Hall. Qian Renxue was worried that Mo Bai's treatment would chill his feelings, and was about to object, but Yan happily accepted the order, thanked the emperor, and pretended to listen.

Qian Renxue was a little confused. She was happy to be punished for her meritorious service? She didn't know that this was Mo Bai's unique way of education. It wasn't that Mo Bai had to do this, but this kid really didn't learn from his mistakes and was less intelligent than Xie Yue.

"There are two ways to fight a war. One is tactical, which is limited to a certain area, and winning or losing does not affect the overall situation. The other is strategic, which controls the overall situation, and a single battle can determine life or death.

Why don't you jump over the Lingyun Pass and look into the distance? You should know where Xie Yue is, but have you ever thought about what he is doing?

If you understand this, you will know why I have to hide my strength. It is not decent to just make a fuss all day. This is also the reason why you are not as good as Xie Yue. "

"You mean Jiayuguan."

Yan is not stupid, he knows that Mo Bai never does meaningless things. When Oscar led his troops to the border of Xingluo, he actually had a guess in his heart, but he was distracted by the war in front of him. After understanding what Mo Bai meant, Yan suddenly felt that the situation was clear. With a million troops leaving the border, the rear of Xingluo must be empty. Xie Yue took the opportunity to enter at this time, and Jiayuguan could do a lot.

With the food supply cut off, the Xing Luo army will certainly come back for support. Every day we delay will cause more casualties to the Xing Luo Empire, and the pressure on Xie Yue will be less when facing a counterattack.

As long as they can hold out until the Xing Luo army runs out of food and supplies, and then the army can move forward and cooperate with Xie Yue to attack from both sides, then the entire Xing Luo Empire will be finished.

Thinking of this, Yan knew why Mo Bai did not allow the Titled Douluo to be dispatched, nor did he send reinforcements.
Facing a fortress like Lingyun Pass, no one can deal with it calmly. If I were in the position of Commander Xingluo, I probably wouldn't even have the mind to fight.

The Xing Luo Empire finally started the fight, but it was mostly meant to test the enemy. If they see no hope, they will probably withdraw their troops immediately, and there will be no follow-up.

Yan thought he understood Mo Bai's plan, so he scratched the back of his head awkwardly. When he took his hand down, he saw that it was covered in blood. He wanted to wipe it with his clothes but found that there was no clean spot.

Just when Yan was at a loss, Qian Renxue handed over her handkerchief. Mo Bai shook his head. What use could this small piece of cloth have? However, this was his wife's good intention, so he could only pretend that he didn't see it.

"I know why you are here. War will inevitably lead to death. Even gods cannot change this situation. You are the commander of this army, so I can understand your sympathy.

However, if you want to be a qualified commander, you should be kind and not be swayed by emotions. Only in this way can you deal with each war more rationally and ensure that more brothers are alive.

Moreover, you have to learn to think about how to use limited resources to create the greatest benefits, how to use them, when to use them, and where to use them.
This seat and the Pope will go to the God Realm one day. This seat hopes that after we leave, you and Xie Yue can take on the responsibility of protecting the Spirit Hall and don't let our family break up. Do you understand?"

Yan was so moved by the heartfelt words that his eyes filled with tears. He was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. He could only kowtow three times to Mo Bai.

"I swear that I will live up to the high priest's trust and protect our common home. If anyone attacks the Spirit Hall in the future, Xie Yue and I will chase them to the ends of the earth and destroy them."

Seeing that Xie Yue was represented by Yan, Mo Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but this was also a vow between men, and he thought Xie Yue would not object.

"Get up. I believe in you. The brothers have worked hard all day. You can arrange for them to rest for a few days. Let the remaining troops take turns to guard the city. Just treat it as training.

Tell the brothers that anyone who survives this battle will be a hero of our Spirit Hall. After the war, they can bring their families to live in Spirit City. If they have made great contributions, I will grant them a mansion."

"Thank you for the great tribute."

Yan knelt down again and kowtowed respectfully. This time he was expressing his gratitude to his brothers. Mo Bai did not stop him. After he stood up, he said:

"You've been tired all day, let's eat something together."

After hearing what Mo Bai said, Yan did feel a little hungry, but as his body was covered in blood, he was too embarrassed to sit down, so he quickly refused.

"Thank you, great priest. I still have some punishment to receive, so I'd better go get whipped first."

After saying that, Yan turned around and ran away, not giving the Mo Bai couple a chance to keep him.
