Douluo Dalu: I Have a Soul Beast Clone.

Chapter 248: Eight years of changes.

"Why are these soldiers like this?" As the princess of the empire, Xue Ke keenly sensed that something was wrong. Or in other words, given the current situation, anyone could see that something was wrong.

"Let's go into the city first."

Li Changan said: "It has the word 'Wuhun', so it should be related to the Wuhun Hall. It won't be too late to investigate after we enter the city."

Dugu Yan also said: "The kingdoms and principalities belonging to the two empires have always had an ambiguous relationship with the Spirit Hall and are loyal supporters of the Spirit Hall. It is also because of the Spirit Hall that the two empires dare not act rashly against these kingdoms and principalities. It seems that a lot of things have happened on the continent in the eight years since we left."

As the three of them were talking, they walked out of the remote corner and came to the street.

The streets in the city all look similar, with shops lining both sides of the roads. Overall, Xilu City is very prosperous, and pedestrians walk at a relatively fast pace, which is obviously due to the pace of life.

At this time, Xue Ke whispered: "Brother Changan, where should we go to inquire? The City Lord's Mansion?"

Li Changan shook his head and said, "Spirit Hall has made such a big move. I'm sure that what happened is no secret to ordinary people. If you ask anyone on the street, you can probably find out almost everything."

During the conversation, Li Changan glanced around and locked his eyes on an old man who was walking towards him. This man was dressed in ordinary clothes. Even if he was not a noble, he must not be an ordinary citizen. He definitely knew a lot.

Li Changan took the two women and went forward to block the other party's way.

"Old man, may I trouble you to ask something?" Li Changan was gentle and courteous, and his attitude was modest, enough to make people like him at first sight.

The old man was stunned at first, then he smiled and said kindly, "Young man, what do you want to ask?"

Li Changan said, "We just returned from overseas and haven't been to the mainland for a long time. We found that the soldiers at the city gate seemed to be a little strange. May I ask if anything has happened in the mainland in recent years?"

"I see. I just came back from overseas. No wonder you didn't know." The old man suddenly realized what he said, and then said with a smile: "If we talk about the major events that happened on the continent, we have to talk about the establishment of the Wuhun Empire."

"Spirit Empire?!" Dugu Yan and Xue Ke were full of doubts, and subconsciously asked: "Could it be related to the Spirit Hall?"

"good."

The old man glanced at the two women, nodded, and said, "There is no Spirit Hall on this continent anymore. There is only the Spirit Empire!"

"When it comes to the establishment of the Spirit Empire, we have to mention the grand event of the spirit master world more than three years ago, the re-election meeting of the seven major sects..." The old man seemed to be a chatterbox. Before the three people asked questions, he spilled the beans and told them everything he knew. It turned out that three years ago, the Spirit Hall hosted the re-election meeting of the seven major sects, and the new seven major sects were formed. Without exception, these seven major sects were the most loyal supporters of the Spirit Hall. There was no one in the two empires who could compete with them. Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect still had the strength to compete, it did not participate in this meeting for protection reasons.

In this way, when the re-election of the seven major sects was completed, the reputation of Wuhun Hall immediately reached its peak. Next, the seven major sects simultaneously submitted a letter stating that the soul masters in the world respected Wuhun Palace and requested that Wuhun Palace better control it. The group of soul masters.

Three months later, Wuhun Palace announced the founding of the country and changed its name to Wuhun Empire. All Wuhun Palaces in the two former empires were closed and the soul masters withdrew. The scope of the Wuhun Empire was based on all the kingdoms and principalities of the two original empires. The horizontal link between the two empires completely cut off the connection between the two empires. With the combination of more than ten kingdoms and principalities, the total area of ​​the Wuhun Empire was not inferior to either of the two empires after the split.

From a geographical point of view, the Wuhun Empire is obviously extremely unfavorable. There is the Tiandou Empire in the north and the Star Luo Empire in the south. However, since the Wuhun Palace was changed to the Wuhun Empire, it has expanded in both directions at the same time. In a few years , already occupying the area of ​​two provinces in each of the two empires. And this was when the three armies did not engage in large-scale fighting.

Judging from its overall strength, the Wuhun Empire is made up of more than a dozen small countries. Its total military strength is naturally far less than that of the two empires, and its command cannot be completely unified.

However, the power of the soul masters controlled by Wuhun Palace is too powerful. The destructive power that a soul master can produce in a war is far beyond that of the army. A team of soul masters consisting of a thousand people is enough to compete with an army of tens of thousands.

At the same time, the Spirit Empire issued an order to call on all soul masters on the continent to join. Those who did not join would be regarded as heretics. With the influence of the seven newly promoted sects, the Spirit Hall almost controlled more than 70% of the soul master power on the continent. And there were many strong people. There were more than ten Title Douluo.

Such a mighty power forced the two empires to accumulate strength and not dare to fight head-on. Otherwise, once they were defeated, they would have no chance.

Pope Bibi Dong of the Wuhun Palace was the first emperor of the Wuhun Empire. She ruled the empire as a woman. After a short period of outward expansion, she began to integrate the empire, eliminate dissidents, and train the army.

The financial resources accumulated by the Wuhun Palace over the years have become a solid backing for the development of the empire. In just a few years, the Wuhun Empire has become a powerful empire that stands side by side with the two great empires of Tiandou and Xingluo, and is stronger than any other empire. empire.

There are more than 20,000 soul masters in the armies stationed on both sides of the empire. And it was personally led by the Titled Douluo from the Elder Hall.

But the temporary non-expansion does not mean that the Wuhun Empire is satisfied. Once Bibi Dong fully grasps and integrates the strength of these kingdoms and principalities under her, it is conceivable that a war will be inevitable.

Fundamentally speaking, the main reason why the Spirit Empire was able to gain an advantage after its founding was the original team of the Spirit Hall, which had tens of thousands of spirit masters. The three major sects of the former top three sects that could barely compete with it, the Haotian Sect, retired, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was completely destroyed, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was also greatly weakened, and there was no force that could compete head-on.

The more powerful the spirit master, the more terrifying he is in war. A Title Douluo-level warrior is enough to defeat thousands of troops. Of course, the two empires are not without the ability to fight. They have been established for many years and have a large number of elite troops in their hands. With the spirit masters loyal to the royal family, if they fight to the death, the Wuhun Empire will definitely suffer heavy losses.

This is probably why Bibi Dong is not in a hurry to expand. She wants to stabilize the internal situation first and will only start a war when she is absolutely sure.
