Douluo: Shark Hunting Blade, Lurking in the Dark!

His words were like a sharp sword, piercing the deepest fear in everyone's heart.

Although Lan is powerful, the defense of Tiandou City is by no means useless.

Although the coalition forces of the two empires were defeated, they still had a force that could not be underestimated.

Yang Wudi's words eased the atmosphere in the palace a little.

His calm and firm voice seemed to inject a shot of adrenaline into everyone.

Some people began to rethink that perhaps they were not completely without a chance of winning.

After all, Tiandou City still has strong defensive capabilities, and the coalition forces are not completely powerless to fight back.

Bai He, Niu Gao and Tai Tan also stepped forward and expressed their positions.

Their voices were firm and powerful, as if adding weight to Yang Wudi's words.

With Yang Wudi's words, the originally depressing atmosphere in the palace was finally relieved.

"What Patriarch Yang said is true."

Emperor Xue Ye looked serious and spoke slowly, "If we give up surrendering now, Spirit Hall will definitely unify the continent, and we, our families, and friends will not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed!"

His voice echoed in the palace, carrying the majesty and heaviness of an emperor.

Then, he looked at Yang Wudi, Niu Gao and the other four people with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "However, do the four clan leaders have any ideas about the specific plan?"

Hearing this, Yang Wudi slowly said, "I, the Po Yi clan, can naturally break Dugu Bo's poison, but this is only relative."

However, these words made everyone present hold their breath.

Dugu Bo's poison is one of the most terrifying weapons of the Spirit Hall. If it can be cracked, it will undoubtedly add a glimmer of hope for the coalition forces.

After hearing this, Emperor Xingluo frowned slightly and said, "Patriarch Yang, if you have any concerns, please speak up."

Yang Wudi nodded and continued, "Although Dugu Bo's snake venom can be broken, it is spread in the form of mist after all."

"We, the Poyi Clan, can only protect a part of the area from the harm of snake venom. As for the other areas outside the protection, Your Majesty, please make a choice."

His voice echoed quietly in the palace, as if announcing an unavoidable reality.

Tiandou City will not be destroyed by Dugu Bo's snake venom, but casualties are inevitable.

Now, the crucial choice must be made by Emperor Xue Ye.

When it comes to choices, there are actually only two directions.

The people in Tiandou City are currently divided into three main groups: soldiers, soul masters, and civilians.

Emperor Xue Ye must make a choice among these three groups.

"This"

Emperor Xue Ye's old body trembled suddenly, and his heart began to beat violently.

Soldiers, soul masters, and civilians. Under the current situation, there is no doubt that the best solution is to abandon the civilians in the city.

After all, soldiers and soul masters are the key to their breaking through the Spirit Hall army!
If the soldiers and soul masters were poisoned to death, they would have no chance of getting out alive.

But Emperor Xue Ye is the emperor of the Tiandou Empire!
If he, the emperor, personally abandoned the millions of people in Tiandou City, it would be a shame in the history of Tiandou, not just in the history of the continent!

The atmosphere in the palace became solemn again.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Emperor Xue Ye, waiting for his decision.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and every second seemed extremely long.

Emperor Xue Ye slowly closed his eyes, and the faces of the people in Tiandou City appeared in his mind.

Those innocent civilians may not understand the cruelty of this war.
But they were destined to become victims of this war.

As an emperor, he should have protected his people, but now, he has to make such a cruel choice.

Emperor Xingluo seemed to see through Emperor Xueye's thoughts.

As an emperor,

He understood Emperor Xue Ye’s current situation.

Emperor Xing Luo looked at Emperor Xue Ye, and a sharp look flashed across his face.

He did not try to persuade Emperor Xue Ye earnestly.

He just said lightly, "History is written by the victors."

Hearing the words of Emperor Xingluo,

Emperor Xue Ye's expression suddenly trembled.

His inner voice also quieted down at this moment.

After a while,

Emperor Xue Ye opened his eyes, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Pass the order down, concentrate all forces to protect the soldiers and spirit masters. As for the people, we can only leave it to fate."

His voice was low and hoarse, as if every word carried a heavy weight.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the palace fell silent.

They knew what this decision meant.

Millions of people in Tiandou City will become victims of this war.

Yang Wudi nodded and said nothing more.

This is the only option at this time.

War has always been cruel, and in this war that concerns the fate of the continent, sacrifice is inevitable.

The atmosphere in the palace became oppressive again.

Emperor Xue Ye's decision seemed to cast an even heavier shadow over the war.

However, the war continues and they must move on.

"Send the order and prepare the entire army for war!"

The voice of Emperor Xue Ye sounded again, carrying with him the majesty and decisiveness of an emperor.

.........

Outside Tiandou City, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the dark clouds seemed to be about to crush the entire city.

The atmosphere between heaven and earth was heavy and depressing to the extreme, as if even the air had solidified, making it hard to breathe.

A few pale flashes of lightning flashed across the distant sky, accompanied by low thunder.

Immediately afterwards, a few raindrops slowly fell from the sky and hit the dry ground.

Dugu Bo stood at the foot of the city wall, looking grimly at the towering walls of Tiandou City.

His figure seemed particularly lonely in the rain, yet there was a heart-pounding chill in it.

"Half an hour has passed. They are determined not to surrender."

"It seems that I am looked down upon."

Dugu Bo muttered to himself.

He glanced at the soldiers on the city wall and found that not only had their numbers not decreased, but they were even more than before.

on the city wall,
The soldiers were armed with spears, bows and crossbows, ready for battle.

Dugu Bo frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought that with his own poison skills and Lan's powerful deterrence, Tiandou City would choose to surrender under pressure.

But the other party seems to be fearless.

It was as if he was completely ignored.

"Since you are determined to seek death, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

Dugu Bo murmured in a low voice, his voice filled with cold murderous intent.

He slowly raised his hand, and a faint green light appeared on his fingertips. That was his unique Green Phosphorus Snake King Poison!
Yue Guan and Gui Mei stood on both sides of Dugu Bo, protecting him at all times.

"Old Poison, I never thought that one day we would fight side by side."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei on the side spoke slowly.
