Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 297

But no matter how angry he was, it was of no use now. At this moment on the border, all the resistance forces of the two empires were burned to ashes.

In just a few days, the army of the Wuhun Empire penetrated deep into the territories of the two empires and quickly controlled large areas of towns and villages.

However, Bibi Dong knew that simple military conquest was only the first step. In order to truly consolidate her rule, she had to stabilize the civilians as soon as possible and gain their support. So she issued a series of orders to appease the people and restore order.

First, Bibi Dong sent a large number of logistics troops into the occupied towns, which brought sufficient supplies, including food, medicine and other necessities of life.

They set up several supply distribution points in town squares and distributed supplies to civilians for free.

The medical soul masters of the Wuhun Empire also actively provided treatment to the civilians injured in the war.

These medical soul masters used powerful healing soul skills, and soft rays of light enveloped the wounded, causing their wounds to heal quickly and their pain to be alleviated.

When the civilians saw that the army of the Wuhun Empire did not brutally plunder or harm them after conquering them, but instead provided them with help, the fear and hostility in their hearts gradually decreased.

In order to further stabilize the situation, Bibi Dong also selected a group of highly respected and experienced officials from the Wuhun Empire to go to the occupied towns and villages to manage them.

The first thing these officials did after arriving in the towns and villages was to post notices to reassure the people.

The notice detailed the ruling policies of the Wuhun Empire, emphasizing that the basic rights of civilians would be protected, that excessive taxes would not be levied arbitrarily, and that efforts would be made to restore the economy and order in towns and villages.

In the process of governance, these officials were impartial and selfless and actively dealt with disputes and conflicts among civilians.

Officials will also register civilian families who suffered losses in the war and provide certain compensation.

In order to restore order in towns and villages, the army of the Wuhun Empire has stepped up patrols.

They patrol the streets and alleys of towns and villages continuously to prevent crimes such as robbery and theft.

Once any lawbreakers are found, they will be arrested and punished immediately. In addition, the Wuhun Empire has also established temporary public security agencies in towns and villages, with local civilians assisting the army in maintaining public order.

These measures led to a rapid improvement in the public security situation in towns and villages, and the lives of civilians gradually returned to their former peace.

In addition to material comfort and restoration of order, Bibi Dong also tried to make civilians accept the rule of the Wuhun Empire ideologically.

She sent a group of soul masters who were good at spiritual martial spirits to go deep into various towns and villages.

These spiritual soul masters use their soul skills to convey the power and beauty of the Spirit Empire to the civilians, and preach that the rule of the Spirit Empire will bring peace and prosperity to Douluo Continent.

The subtle influence of spiritual soul masters, coupled with the fact that the Wuhun Empire has existed for a long time, is different from the two great empires where interests are deeply bound to high-level dignitaries. The foundation of the Wuhun Empire has always been the common people.

Even in the two empires, only 90% of the civilians benefited from the Wuhun Empire.

Most of those who hated the invasion of the Wuhun Empire were corrupt high-ranking officials and nobles.

Therefore, after receiving proper arrangements and being comforted by spiritual masters, many civilians were no longer afraid. Instead, they felt fortunate that the war had ended early and their lives were gradually getting better.

In this way, the areas controlled by the Wuhun Empire developed a sense of identity with the Wuhun Empire's rule.

Under a series of effective measures taken by the Wuhun Empire, the occupied towns quickly settled down. The civilians gradually adapted to the new ruling order and began to return to normal production and life.

Farmers can be seen working hard in the fields again, and the market has returned to its former bustling scene.

After consolidating its rule over these towns, the Wuhun Empire took a series of effective measures and after half a year of recuperation, its rule over the occupied areas gradually became more stable, and the land seemed to have quietly become its possession.

When everything was ready, the ambition of the Wuhun Empire expanded again, and the army, like a hungry beast, launched another large-scale attack on the heartland of the two empires.

Blood Demon Douluo and Shadow Douluo were still in the lead. Relying on the powerful and strange power of their martial spirits, the armies of the two empires were defeated wherever they passed, and a large amount of territory fell one after another.

This offensive, like a dark cloud pressing down on one's head, made the new emperor Xue Beng of the Tiandou Empire and the old emperor of the Xingluo Empire feel an unprecedented crisis.

Xue Beng, the young emperor of the Tiandou Empire, was extremely anxious in the face of the Wuhun Empire's relentless pressure, knowing that the empire had reached a critical moment of life and death.

He quickly summoned important officials in the court, top spirit masters and elite members of the royal family, and put all his efforts into gathering the final strength of the Tiandou Empire.

The old emperor of the Xingluo Empire, although he has experienced many vicissitudes of life, is not completely insane when the country is in crisis.

Despite his old age and frailty, he personally took to the battlefield, commanding the core forces of the Xingluo Empire, vowing to fight a decisive battle with the Wuhun Empire.

At this critical moment, both sides turned their attention to a strategic location - Tianyan City.

The city is located between towering mountains and is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The terrain is dangerous and a narrow passage is the only way into the city. It can be said that "one man guarding the pass can stop ten thousand men."

Xue Beng and the old emperor of the Xing Luo Empire knew very well that if they could successfully resist the attack of the Wuhun Empire here, they might be able to turn the tide and buy a chance for the two empires to catch their breath.

Of course, the premise is that the Pope of the Wuhun Empire will not take action. It is rumored that he has now broken through the boundaries of Titled Douluo and become a new generation of god.

The specific situation is unknown, and they have doubts in their hearts, but no matter whether it is true or not, Bibi Dong is at least a level 99 Extreme Douluo.

The only chance of victory for their two empires now is that Bibi Dong pays attention to public opinion and wants to win by conventional means of warfare on the continent. In this way, they still have a glimmer of room for resistance.

Otherwise, once Bibi Dong takes action personally, all their resistance will be in vain.

With a hope in their hearts, the monarchs of the two empires each led their armies and rushed to Tianyan City day and night.

On a cloudy morning, the gate of Tianyan City slowly opened. Xue Beng, riding a snow-white horse and wearing golden dragon-scale armor, was the first to enter the city.

Behind him was the mighty army of the Tiandou Empire. The soldiers were dressed in neat armor, holding sharp weapons, and were well-equipped, but there was a sense of cowardice in their eyes.

Obviously, the previous disastrous defeat of the imperial army on the border had cast a heavy shadow on them, causing their morale to be extremely low.

On the other side, the army of the Xingluo Empire also arrived, and the old emperor rode a majestic war lion.

The soldiers behind him marched in step. Perhaps because of the martial spirit of the Xing Luo Empire, the previous defeat did not have much impact on them. Each of them was imposing and their fighting spirit was surprisingly high.

The armies of the two empires met in the city. For a moment, the streets and alleys of Tianyan City were filled with soldiers, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Xue Beng and the old emperor of Xing Luo Empire met in the City Lord's Mansion of Tianyan City. Both of them had solemn expressions on their faces, and even showed precautions and vigilance. But now at such an important moment, it is obvious that they can no longer be suspicious of each other.

Avalanche spoke first.

"Now that the Wuhun Empire is coming at us aggressively, we have nowhere to retreat. Tianyan City is our last hope, and we must do our best to defend it."

The old emperor of the Xingluo Empire nodded slightly, looked deeply at the young monarch, and then said.

"That's right. This time I brought the most elite spirit masters and troops of the Xingluo Empire. We are determined to fight to the death with the Wuhun Empire."

Afterwards, the two began to discuss in detail how to defend against the enemy. They first conducted a comprehensive inspection and reinforcement of Tianyan City's fortifications. At the entrance of the narrow passage, they set up a large number of spike traps and boulders.

Countless crossbows and catapults were added to the city walls, and the arrows and stones were soaked in kerosene to maximize their lethality in battle.

At the same time, they also organized the top soul masters of the two empires and divided them into several combat teams, each responsible for the defense tasks of different areas.

Everything was ready, just waiting for the arrival of the Wuhun Empire's army. A few days later, a cloud of dust rose on the distant horizon, and the Wuhun Empire's army surged in like a black torrent.

Blood Demon Douluo and Shadow Douluo rode on huge magical beasts and were at the forefront of the army. They saw the fortifications of Tianyan City from afar, and a solemn look flashed in their eyes.

Now that they have received the news, the two empires are probably coming out in full force this time.

This made the Blood Demon Douluo, who had originally disdained the two empires, have to admire the decisiveness of the two empires.

But he couldn't say that, and still maintained an arrogant and unruly look, looking at the towering city standing on a dangerous pass in front of him with disdain.

"Humph, with just this little bit of defense, you think you can stop the progress of our Wuhun Empire? You are simply trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm!"

Afterwards, he held the bloody knife in his hand and went to Tianyan Pass to command the army to launch an attack.

The battle officially began. The defenders of Tianyan City immediately ignited the crossbows and catapults, and the arrows and stones with blazing flames rained down on the enemy. The soldiers of the Wuhun Empire raised their shields to resist, but many were still hit and screamed.

Seeing this, Blood Demon Douluo's eyes widened with anger, and he suddenly released his martial spirit body. His body instantly expanded several times, and his whole body was covered with a thick layer of blood-red armor, and a pair of huge blood-red wings grew from his back.

He flapped his wings, and a powerful blood-red energy wave swept towards the wall of Tianyan City. Part of the fortifications on the wall were destroyed in an instant, and many soldiers were blown away.

Shadow Douluo was not to be outdone. He flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, he appeared on the city wall, the shadow blade in his hand flashing with strange light, and he madly slashed at the soldiers around him. Just as Shadow Douluo was killing, those powerful Title Douluo elders who came with the monarch arrived in time with the soul master team.

One of the Wind Eagle Douluos shouted loudly and controlled the strong wind to wrap up Shadow Douluo, greatly restricting the movements of the two.

Other wind-type soul masters also used their soul skills, and sharp wind blades shot towards Shadow Douluo.

Shadow Douluo had to stop attacking and resist with all his strength.

At the entrance of the passage, the elite troops of the Xingluo Empire and the vanguard troops of the Wuhun Empire engaged in a fierce close combat. The soldiers of both sides fought hard and the blood dyed the ground red.

The soldiers of the Xingluo Empire temporarily resisted the attack of the Wuhun Empire with their tenacious fighting spirit and superb martial arts.

However, the troops of the Wuhun Empire continued to pour in, and the situation gradually became unfavorable to the coalition forces of the two empires.

Xue Beng and the old emperor of the Xing Luo Empire were in the city lord's mansion, listening to the battle situation coming from the city gate, both of them had extremely solemn expressions.

Xue Beng was extremely anxious, as he knew very well that if this continued, the coalition forces would be in dire straits. Once the city gate was lost, the fate of him and the old emperor of the Xing Luo Empire would be predictable.

Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of a way to break the impasse. He turned and said to the old emperor.

"We can't be passively defensive like this any longer. I plan to lead an elite force to flank the Spirit Empire's army and launch a surprise attack from the rear to disrupt their deployment. What do you think?"

The old emperor was originally considering whether to let the royal priests take action in advance and directly kill Blood Demon Douluo and Shadow Douluo in front of the formation.

After all, no matter how terrifying the battle records of these two are, they are ultimately just two newly promoted Titled Douluo at level 91.92 or .

But in this case, his Xingluo Empire would be at a loss. It was obvious that the two empires were joining forces to defend the city. If the Xingluo Empire had to do everything, then what was the point of the alliance?

Just when he was undecided, after hearing Xue Beng's words, a light flashed in his cloudy eyes. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said.

"Although this plan is risky, it may be able to turn the tide of the battle. We will each send out a team of troops. To be on the safe side, we need to send out a Titled Douluo."

Xue Beng felt the old emperor's gaze, understood what he meant, and immediately smiled bitterly.

"My Heaven Dou Empire no longer has any extra Title Douluo. We can only send out three Soul Douluo for this sneak attack. As for the Title Douluo, Your Majesty Xing Luo may need you to think of a solution."

Upon hearing this, the old emperor pondered for a moment and thought that since Tiandou had produced three Soul Douluos, it would not be a big loss for Xingluo, so he nodded in agreement.

In this situation, there is no need to worry too much about small gains and losses.

After both parties reached a consensus.

They selected an elite force consisting of royal knights and top soul masters, as well as three soul douluos and a titled douluo, and quietly set out from the flanks of the city.

They followed the mountain path and carefully went around to the rear of the Wuhun Empire army.

At this time, the army of the Wuhun Empire was attacking Tianyan City with all its might, and was completely unaware of the danger in the rear.

With the command of the commander, the royal knights rushed towards the enemy like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the soul masters also released powerful soul skills. For a moment, the rear of the Wuhun Empire army fell into chaos.

Blood Demon Douluo and Shadow Douluo were shocked when they learned that the rear was attacked. They had to send some troops to provide support.

Seeing this, the defenders of Tianyan City were greatly encouraged and took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. Under the pincer attack from both sides, the army of the Wuhun Empire gradually fell into trouble.

The battle lasted for a whole day and night, and both sides paid a heavy price. In the end, the army of the Wuhun Empire had to retreat temporarily, and the crisis in Tianyan City was temporarily resolved.
