Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 409 Supply Line

Upon opening the envelope, the war agreement spoken by the soldier came into Bibi Dong's view.

The agreement was not made of paper, but of smooth silk brocade; and the contents were not written on, but embroidered with gold thread.

The only handwritten signature is on the left two of the four signatures at the bottom of the agreement, with the large characters "Lin Rong" and "Yu Yuan" written on them.

Two faint auras of divine power emanated from the two signatures, thus preventing the possibility of forgery or denial afterward.

The agreement is in duplicate.

Besides the copy in Bibi Dong's possession, there was another signed agreement in the letter.

After Bibi Dong and Jin E sign the two agreements, they will keep one copy for themselves and return the other to Tian Dou.

Each party retains a copy of the agreement to maximize its fairness and impartiality.

Jin E also saw that there was another copy in the letter, so he stretched out his right hand, and the remaining agreement in the letter flew into his hand on its own under the control of his mental power.

The content of the war agreement was very simple:
During the war between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, combatants of god-level or higher are not allowed to interfere in secular wars.

That was all the content of the agreement; Bibi Dong and Jin E only glanced at it before reading it.

This agreement is nothing special; it's just a simple literal agreement. Its only binding effect is that the two empires have the same number of god-level combatants.

If the balance of power on one side is broken, the agreement will naturally become invalid instantly.

Behind Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang craned his neck to read the contents of the agreement and exclaimed that it was unfair:

"The number of God Inheritors in the Heavenly Dou Sect far exceeds that of us. We are currently at a disadvantage in terms of the number of Title Douluos, and we are also at a disadvantage in terms of the number of God Inheritors in the battlefield. This is simply unfair. We will only be gradually devoured by them until we have nowhere left to retreat."

"But by then, it would be too late to resist!"

Jin E glanced at Yu Xiaogang, his expression a mixture of disdain and disgust, and retorted:
"It's unfair. Why don't you go and fight those two from Tiandou and force them to change this agreement?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang slump down and not daring to speak, Jin E added disdainfully:
"Hmph! If you don't have the ability, don't interrupt!"

Instead of complaining here, you should focus on cultivating. Whichever force first possesses the fifth god-level combat power in the world will be able to completely break the balance, end the era of chaos, and unify the continent.

"Enough!" Bibi Dong roared, glaring at the Golden Crocodile with an unfriendly expression.

"Xiao Gang is my man. Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner!"

Upon hearing this, Jin E wasn't angry. Instead, he seized upon a loophole in Bibi Dong's words and added insult to injury:
"So you mean Yu Xiaogang is your dog?"

"If that's the case, I really shouldn't argue with a dog, after all, it would be beneath my esteemed status as the Second Elder of the Offering Hall."

"You!" Bibi Dong gritted her teeth and quickly looked at Yu Xiaogang beside her, explaining:
"Xiaogang, don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant."

"It's alright, Dong'er, I believe you." Yu Xiaogang replied seemingly nonchalantly, but the rapid pounding of his heart betrayed his inner turmoil.

"Bah, adulterers!" Jin E thought viciously to himself, but didn't show it on his face. Instead, he urged:
"Hurry up and sign the agreement and send it back. Don't let others think that you, the once decisive and efficient pope, have become a hesitant old woman!"

As he spoke, Golden Crocodile had already signed the agreement in his hand and reached out to take the copy from Bibi's hand as well.

……

After a stick of incense.

A signed agreement, bearing the names of four individuals, passed through numerous checkpoints and arrived at a tent in the center of the Heavenly Dou Army camp. Lin Rong sat on a wooden chair, glanced at the four divine powers contained within the four signatures on the agreement, and then casually put it away.

"How is the army's assembly progressing?"

On the right side of the tent, Xu Pan, sitting next to Ma Hongjun, thought for a moment and immediately gave his answer:
"Your Majesty, 1.2 million of the two million troops have been assembled, and the remaining 800,000 troops will arrive at the border fortress in the coming days, with the last batch arriving in about half a month."

"Currently, the military has enough supplies to sustain two million troops for half a month, and the remaining supplies are being transported in batches."

"The most recent batch of supplies should arrive at the military camp in about two days."

"The latest batch of supplies will arrive in two days..." Lin Rong listened to this and, as if remembering something, gave the order:
"In war between two armies, the supply of materials is of paramount importance."

"Based on my understanding of Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall must have sent out a Spirit Master force to bypass our army and disrupt our supply lines."

"Don't they always complain that the war hasn't even started yet and they have nothing to do?"

"Then let a few of them lead a small team of Soul Masters to wipe out the Spirit Hall raiding team that is trying to sabotage our army's supplies."

"Remember, each team must have at least one Title Douluo-level fighter."

"Understood, I will make the arrangements immediately." Xu Pan stood up, bowed, and turned to leave the tent.

He knew that the "them" His Majesty was referring to was that group of divine inheritors who had nothing to do before the war and found themselves extremely bored.

In fact, Xu Pan himself was also busy, but he was far from idle. As the deputy of the Grand Marshal Ma Hongjun, he was very busy.

……

Military camp at the border fortress of the Star Luo Empire.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei stood side by side behind Bibi Dong, bowing and listening to her commands:

"I plan to send several elite squads composed of Soul Masters to bypass the Heaven Dou Fortress and sabotage their supply lines."

“A significant portion of the elites of my Spirit Hall perished in the explosion a year ago. As a result, we lack the high-level combat power to lead the elite squads. Therefore, we are in a difficult position to have you two each lead a squad to complete this mission together with the other four squads.”

After hearing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, and then habitually replied:

"Yes, Your Holiness, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished."

Having served as model workers in the Spirit Hall for so many years, they were already used to Bibi Dong assigning them all sorts of strange and unusual tasks from time to time.

After leaving the camp, Ghost, the fastest among them, immediately rushed to Tiandou Fortress and personally reported the information to Lin Rong.

"Yes, I know."

Lin Rong nodded with a straight face, showing no surprise whatsoever.

"Your Majesty, may I ask how long Juhua Guan and I will remain undercover in the Spirit Hall?"

Ghost mentioned the matter in a low voice.

He was thinking that it would be best to end the undercover mission after this one.
