Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 154 War Breaks Out

Jerry returned to Wuhun City to rest for a while.

However, an unexpected piece of news came.

The Heaven Dou Empire has actually declared war on the Star Luo Empire, and the Martial Soul Gazette is now updating with the latest battle situation.

The people in Wuhun City are now discussing the war between the two countries the most. Many are glad that they left early, otherwise they would also be in the midst of war.

Jerry went directly to the Information Department and obtained information about the war between the two countries.

This war was initiated by the Heaven Dou Empire because the Empress of the Star Luo Empire also had another identity: she was a member of the Spirit Hall.

Furthermore, the Spirit Hall's assistance to the Star Luo Empire has led to many people living on the border secretly fleeing to the Star Luo Empire.

The Heavenly Dou Empire had been biding its time, but recently the tide has suddenly turned.

Now, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has led its entire clan to surrender to the Heavenly Dou Empire. Moreover, Avalanche has given them a promise they cannot refuse: after the war, a region will be designated as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's fiefdom, and the eight nearby cities will all be handed over to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan for management.

And so, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan directly pledged allegiance to the Heaven Dou Empire. Through the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's connections, they made contact with the Clear Sky Sect, and the elders of the Clear Sky Sect readily agreed to the same conditions.

After so many years of recuperation, the Haotian Sect has developed quite well, except for the disappearance of its patriarch. So now it is thinking of re-emerging, but it has been waiting for an opportunity. This time, the Tiandou Empire has given it a lot of face and offered it an opportunity, so it readily agreed.

Previously, the Clear Sky Sect secretly sent someone to bring Tang San back to the sect, and Tang San learned about his background. With the sect's abundant resources, Tang San is now over level 60. He learned that because of his parents, the Clear Sky Sect was forced into seclusion by the Spirit Hall, and his father was forced to leave the sect, which led to his hostility towards the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, after joining the Heaven Dou Empire, Tang San immediately manufactured many hidden weapons and equipped the Heaven Dou Empire's army with them. Because of these hidden weapons, the Star Luo Empire's army was initially defeated and suffered repeated defeats, losing eight cities in just half a month.

Moreover, after revealing his identity, Tang San also took the opportunity to subdue the four single-attribute families.

The Min clan gathers intelligence, the Li clan forges weapons, the Po clan provides medicine, and the Yu clan builds fortifications. With an army equipped with hidden weapons, the Star Luo Empire is now truly difficult to resist.

"Report, Lord Jerry, we've just received the latest battle report!" the soldier said, handing the report to Jerry.

After reading the latest battle report, Jerry was furious.

Before the Avalanche War, the Heaven Dou Empire declared that if Empress Xingluo was willing to marry Zhu Zhuqing, she would immediately be made empress, the two countries would be united forever, and the war would end.

Avalanche, you've really gotten too big for your britches, thinking you've lived too long.

It appears that the Heavenly Dou Empire initiated the war, and even claimed that the Star Luo Empire was imprisoning citizens of the Heavenly Dou Empire. How many of these events were actually orchestrated by various sects? The Heavenly Dou Empire was merely a scapegoat pushed out by these sects.

Avalanche, you're incredibly stupid, being used as a pawn without even realizing it.

"Why didn't our Spirit Hall mediate this war?" Jerry asked.

"This war has only been going on for a little over half a month. In fact, the Spirit Hall was prepared to intervene from the very beginning, but Zhu Zhuqing has been bearing it all on her own and hasn't asked the Spirit Hall for help. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo did go, but the others won't move without the Grand Elder's orders. The Grand Elder received a letter before, was very happy, and then went out to visit a friend. He hasn't returned yet," replied Ghost Leopard Douluo, the Minister of Information.

What a coincidence! Bibi Dong went into seclusion, the Grand Elder went out to visit friends, and then the war broke out. There was no one who could mobilize the Spirit Hall's army. How much scheming was behind this?

After receiving the letter, the Grand Elder went to visit his friend. The only person the Grand Elder considers a friend is Poseidon from Poseidon Island. Only if Poseidon wrote a letter would the Grand Elder personally go there. Grand Elder, you have fallen for the enemy's honey trap!

Poseidon's help was likely due to the Haotian Sect's scheming; it was probably because of Tang Chen's connection that Poseidon intervened.

"Sound the alarm for the highest levels of government! I need to call an emergency meeting!" Jerry said.

"Lord Jerry, this alarm bell can only be rung with the order of the Grand Elder," Elder Ghost Leopard said.

"Elder Ghost Leopard, you should have heard the Grand Elder say that after Bibi Dong emerges from seclusion, I will be appointed as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. Isn't that enough of a Holy Son?"

"Although these words have been spoken, the investiture has not yet been formally granted. To exercise the rights of a holy son now is somewhat against the rules!"

"Then instead of sounding the alarm at the Supreme Council, can't I just convene a council of elders?" Jerry said angrily.

"That's fine!" Elder Ghost Leopard then went to inform everyone.

It took half an hour for all the elders to arrive one after another. Honestly, if the Grand Elder had given the order, they would all have arrived within ten minutes.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, I'd like to know what everyone thinks about this war," Jerry said, wanting to hear their opinions as well.

"What do you think? This fight has only just started. No Title Douluos have been deployed yet. It's just a small skirmish!" Elder Golden Crocodile said dismissively.

"The Spirit Hall's responsibility has always been to maintain peace on the continent and minimize wars between the two empires. I think the Spirit Hall should step in to mediate," said Yu Shu, Minister of Education.

"Mediation? Haha, Elder Yu Shu, perhaps you haven't experienced enough. Every few decades, two empires will break out into war. As long as the reason is reasonable, our Spirit Hall cannot interfere. What is the reason for this war? The Heaven Dou Empire accuses the Star Luo Empire of imprisoning their people! From the very beginning, the Heaven Dou Empire has been placed on the side of justice!"

"Imprisoning citizens? That's utter nonsense. It's just that the Star Luo Empire is developing better now, and the citizens of the Heaven Dou Empire can't make a living, so they secretly run away to the Star Luo Empire."

"That's what they say, but the pretext of imprisoning the people has already spread throughout the Heavenly Dou Empire, directly inciting public anger. Now, the people of the Heavenly Dou Empire are very supportive of the empire, especially after the victory in the past few days, their support rate is getting higher and higher!"

"It seems there's a clever person behind the Heavenly Dou Empire!" Jerry said.

"So now the Spirit Hall can't really get involved!"

Jerry is very angry now. Most of the elders are conservative and unwilling to interfere without orders. Only a few elders that Jerry later promoted spoke up to mediate the war.

Who is the one who instigated this war? The Haotian Sect, with its few incompetent elders, could never have come up with this plan. And the only change in the Haotian Sect recently was bringing Tang San back to the sect. Tang San, was all of this your scheme?

"Quiet down!" Jerry didn't want to listen to the elders anymore; they were talking for ages without getting to the point.

"I was busy with some things a few days ago and was not in Spirit City, so when the war broke out, I did not make a response plan immediately. Now, I announce that the Spirit Hall will begin to intervene in this war!" As soon as Jerry finished speaking, the elders below began to speak.

"Lord Jerry, this is against regulations, and the Spirit Hall will not mobilize its troops without an order from the Grand Elder or the Pope."

"I don't care about any rules. I'll just say this: I want to get involved in this war. Who agrees and who disagrees?"

"This is against the rules!" Apart from the people Jerry promoted who agreed, some others disagreed, while others neither agreed nor disagreed. They were a bunch of old hands, all just watching and waiting.

"Elder Jin'e, besides being a member of my inner cabinet, you are also the second elder of the Elder Hall. The First Elder is away visiting friends and is not in Wuhun City. Can't you make a decision at this time? Also, hasn't the First Elder said more than once that he would appoint me as the Holy Son once Bibi Dong comes out of seclusion?" Jerry said, looking at Elder Jin'e.

"Only the Grand Elder and the Pope can issue orders for war. Even if you are now the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, you do not have that authority," Elder Golden Crocodile said.

"Alright! If that's the case, then let me rephrase my question. I personally want to get involved in this war. Raise your hand if you're willing to help me." As soon as Jerry finished speaking, the elders he had promoted all raised their hands.

After waiting for a while, none of the other elders raised their hands.

Jerry has finally seen through these people. When they need his help, they beg him every day, but when he needs help himself, they pretend not to hear!
