Huo Yuhao: Picked up a copy of Peerless Tang Sect at the beginning

Chapter 238 The war is about to begin

The news that Huo Yuhao was selling soul guides in the three empires soon reached Xu Tianran's ears.

Huo Yuhao had never thought that Xu Tianran would know about this matter so quickly.

In fact, even though he knew it now, Huo Yuhao also understood that it would be unlikely if he didn’t know it.

After all, if it was just a simple sale of soul guides, Xu Tianran, who was thousands of miles away, would never have known about it. However, as the three empires began to continuously form new armies, recruit soul guides and other actions, Xu Tianran, who was thousands of miles away, was eventually alarmed.

"That means our things have fallen into the hands of the three empires, and they are now actively preparing for war, ready to attack us?" Xu Tianran said with a gloomy face.

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to the information we have gathered, we can be sure that the three empires are now organizing their armies, and all the soul-saving devices have fallen into the hands of the three empires." The ministers under his command answered tremblingly.

How could he not know the seriousness of this matter?
Today, the Sun-Moon Empire has lost so many war resources, and its development before this has been interrupted many times.

This is not important. If it were just this, the Sun-Moon Empire should seek a longer period of peace to ensure the development of its own empire.

But the problem now is that as time goes by, the Xingluo Empire, Tianhun Empire and Douling Empire are constantly developing their own soul guide technology.

In addition, they now have so many finished soul guides, which makes Xu Tianran feel a little uneasy.

"Pass the order down, summon all the ministers, and prepare for mobilization immediately. Within a month, I want to see the Sun-Moon Empire fully prepare for war and start the war immediately."

Xu Tianran couldn't wait any longer. If time continued to pass, the strength between the Sun-Moon Empire and the other three empires would only get closer and closer.

If this is the case, what the Sun-Moon Empire should think about in the future is not how to unify the continent, but how to avoid being destroyed by the other three empires.

In this situation, the Sun-Moon Empire had no other choice. If it did not want to go to war, it could only watch as the national strength of the three empires continued to surpass its own, and it would become a country that could be bullied at will by others.

How could this be possible for a proud man like Xu Tianran?
Therefore, Xu Tianran had no choice but to start using it immediately. Now the three empires have not yet formed a qualified soul guide army, and those soul guides have fallen into the hands of the three empires and have not been fully used. Soul guides have not developed between the three empires.

In this situation, fighting starts immediately, and at the same time it is also a way to divert conflicts externally.

In this situation, everyone had to obey the emperor's orders, and resisting orders at this time was not as serious as resisting orders in peacetime.

Even those royal relatives who usually opposed Xu Tianran did not dare to say anything against him at this time.

Following Xu Tianran's order, the war hawks, who had been eager for war, immediately stood up and became supporters of this war.

The terrifying war machine of the Sun-Moon Empire began to operate.

Countless soldiers and food supplies were transported, and a large number of soul guides were also arranged.

Such a big commotion naturally cannot be concealed.

Soon, other countries knew about the actions of the Sun-Moon Empire.

But any war can never be completely airtight.

After all, a war often involves hundreds of thousands of people. In this case, once a country shows signs of preparing for war, other countries can often see it.

The only thing that cannot be seen is when and where the war will be launched, and this is often the most critical part of a war.

Upon learning that the Sun-Moon Empire was about to launch a war, the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire on the border were the most nervous.

There is a direct border line between the three major countries and the Sun-Moon Empire.

As the Sun-Moon Empire took action, the Sky Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire also sent large numbers of troops to garrison the border.

Even several Title Douluo came to the border.

As a member of the Tianhun Empire’s army, Orange naturally came here as well.

What Juzi didn't know was that in the original story line, this war was supposed to be led by her, and the relationship between him and the Tianhun Empire should not be that of colleagues, but enemies.

But now everything has changed. Orange has joined the Tianhun Empire.

But the enemy he had to face was the army of the Sun Moon Empire. Everything changed thanks to Huo Yuhao's efforts.

In fact, on the first day that Orange led the army, they were attacked by the Sun and Moon Empire.

It was called an attack, but when Orange looked at those ordinary soldiers who were forced to come here by the supervision team, there was only numbness and fear in their eyes, and they did not look like soldiers at all.

Orange immediately understood that these people were not regular troops, but ordinary people who were forcibly recruited from the civilian population by the empire.

They are not soldiers, but cannon fodder.

Their lives are not worth mentioning in the eyes of those in power. The nobles who enjoy the support of the empire hide behind and control the war with wine glasses in hand, while the people at the bottom of society are forced to fight a war they do not want to fight at all.

At this moment, Orange thought of his father.

He wondered if his father was also like these cannon fodders thrown out at that time?
He was thrown onto the battlefield by the nobles as a chess piece that could be used to vent their anger and kill anyone.

Hundreds or even thousands of lives were thrown out by them, and the purpose was only to test the strength and attitude of the Tianhun Empire.

Orange instinctively commanded his troops to defeat these people, and then he captured a captured middle-aged soldier.

The middle-aged soldier was thin and did not look very strong. He squatted on the ground trembling all over, not daring to say a word.

They are not soldiers at all, but cannon fodder who were forcibly captured.

In just a moment, Orange understood his identity again.

"Release all these people." Orange suddenly shouted loudly.

The people under his command looked at each other, and after hearing what Orange said, they all wondered if they had heard it wrong.

There is no reason to let the enemies go directly on the battlefield, even if they are prisoners.

"Let all these people go." Orange shouted angrily.

Even though these people under his command had not followed him for a long time, they all obeyed Orange's orders. Therefore, although he was a little puzzled, he still released these people one by one.

Orange knew that such an order was unreasonable, and if he was a qualified war general, he should have imprisoned these people. But Orange was also a human being, he also had his own thoughts and his own pain.

When he saw these people, he thought of his father. If it was his father who followed them today, what would happen to him?
It may seem like a matter of life and death for just a few thousand people, but in fact it concerns the life and death of a few thousand families.

The life and death of one person is related to the lives of several other people.

How could you give up so easily?
Afterwards, the marshal from the Tianhun Empire came over to reprimand Orange, but fortunately with Princess Vina as a background and Orange having a good attitude of admitting his guilt, the matter was finally left unresolved.

After this day, the Sun-Moon Empire and the Sky Soul Empire were pulling each other on the border, with small armies fighting each other.

There was no direct start of a large-scale battle.

But the situation on the other side of the Xingluo Empire battlefield was far different.

On the other side, the situation faced by Dai Hao, the commander of the Western Army of the Xingluo Empire, was completely different from that faced by Orange.

To be honest, the soldiers of the Sun-Moon Empire were like ants, not caring about life and death, and rushed towards the camp of the Star Luo Empire with the simplest weapons.

At the same time, several flying soul guides in the sky were controlling their flying soul guides to continuously scout the situation in the air.

Higher up in the sky, the strong men from both sides were fighting without caring about their lives.

From time to time, a bloody rain would fall from the sky, followed by a corpse being thrown down.

On the first day of the war alone, tens of thousands of people died on both sides.

After this result came out, Dai Hao was completely at a loss as to what to do.

"The Sun-Moon Empire attacked too quickly. They seem to have something to rely on, or do they really want to take over from the Xing Luo Empire's imperial guards?"

This is the idea of ​​the commanders on the western battlefield of the Star Luo Empire.

In their opinion, the most likely reason why the Sun-Moon Empire attacked the Star Luo Empire so hastily was that it wanted to conquer the Star Luo Empire first, and then turn around and destroy the Tianhun and Douling Empires after integrating the support of the Star Luo Empire.

The current situation of the Sun-Moon Empire is consistent with their speculation.

They would rush forward against the Sun-Moon Empire regardless of life or death, and as for the Sky Soul Empire, they would just deal with it in a general way, not seeking to defeat the Sky Soul Empire, but only to hold it there.

But the experienced Dai Hao has a different opinion on this idea.

Dai Hao's status as marshal was not so glorious and noble. Without the support of the previous generation, how could Dai Hao reach this position at this age?
But even so, there is no need to doubt Dai Hao's talent, and his military strength in the Xingluo Empire was also absorbed by others.

Therefore, Dai Hao could tell something was wrong at a glance.

"It shouldn't be like this. If the Sun Moon Empire wants to unify the continent, then shouldn't the best approach be to first defeat the smaller Heaven Soul Empire and Douling Empire. Then integrate the resources of these two countries, and then go to war with the most powerful Xingluo Empire."

Dai Hao knew clearly that the Xingluo Empire and the Tianhun Empire did not have much resistance against the Sun and Moon Empire.

But at the same time, there is no shortage of resources between the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire.

If the war against the Xingluo Empire was declared after the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire were defeated, the flags of the cities and towns of the Sun and Moon Empire would be raised to an icon that others could not imagine.

At the same time, with the help of the destruction of these two countries, Xu Tianran can also use this to enhance his prestige and consolidate his position.

Little by little, eliminate those who threaten your position.

But the situation before me is completely different from what I had imagined.

Dai Hao guessed that this was most likely a conspiracy of the Sun-Moon Empire, ostensibly an attack from the Star Luo Empire.

He made everyone think that he wanted to attack from the Trans-Moon Mountains of the Xingluo Empire, but in fact, there was a hidden force hiding behind, ready to launch a sneak attack on the Tianhun Empire at any time.

"Immediately send someone to tell the Sky Soul Empire that the Sun Moon Empire is likely to break through from the direction of the Sky Soul Empire. Tell them to strengthen their defenses to prevent the Sun Moon Empire from breaking in."

Although Dai Hao sent people to deliver a message to the people of the Sun-Moon Empire in time, given the distance between the two countries, by the time he passed the information to the Sky Soul Empire, it would be too late.

In fact, it's too late now.

In the early morning of that day, the people of the Astronomical Empire thought that today would be just like any other day, with both sides just practicing Tai Chi to kill time.

However, what the Marshal of the Tianhun Empire did not expect was that the army of the Sun and Moon Empire suddenly changed its appearance and completely defeated his army.

The army of the Tianhun Empire didn't even make it through the first part. They couldn't imagine that the people who had been playing so well with them these days were actually the enemies who killed their people.

Although the emotions of these people are in place, the distance between the two sides makes it impossible for them to continue and be a balance.
Just as the Tianhun Empire’s army was about to disperse, Huo Yuhao and the people in his original body suddenly appeared here.

In fact, Huo Yuhao and others had already guessed the plan of the Sun Moon Empire.

All they could do was hide behind and wait for the opportunity to completely destroy Xu Tianran's ambition.

After the top fighting force represented by the Body Sect appeared here, the people of the Sun-Moon Empire showed a little panic, and the two sides once again started a killing spree by all means.

As the intensity of the war continued to increase, new helpers appeared on the side of the Sun-Moon Empire. For the first time, evil soul masters led by the Holy Spirit Church appeared in this war in groups. Now no one could say that the Holy Spirit Church had not united with the Sun-Moon Empire.

The individual strength of these evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church was originally stronger than that of normal soul masters. In addition, they came in groups and were surrounded by dozens of armies. The whole Sun-Moon Empire fell into ecstasy. They felt that this battle would be a sure win.

But at this moment, the Titled Douluo of the Body Sect rushed here one after another. The Body Sect was the guardian sect of the Tianhun Empire. Du Bu Si knew very well that if the Tianhun Empire was destroyed, the Body Sect would not benefit either.

Therefore, Du Bu Si came out in full force and brought out all the Titled Douluo to appear here, but at this time no one expected that the Holy Spirit Sect Leader and the Supreme Elders Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, who were supposed to appear in the later stages of the war, all appeared here, and the three Super Douluos besieged Du Bu Si together.

It was originally just a small war, but it developed directly from a war between ordinary people to a war between Titled Douluo. This is simply unimaginable.

The brutality of the war forced Orange and others to evacuate, and they have now become bystanders of the war.

There was not much difference in strength between the two sides, both were at the Titled Douluo level, so after fighting for a while, the Titled Douluos had to leave one after another, and the war finally ended in peace.

But judging from the outcome of the war, it was the Tianhun Empire that blocked the attack of the Sun and Moon Empire this time.
