Douluo Continent: The Evil Tiger Subdues the Eight Desolations, and Marries Zhu Zhuqing

White Tiger Pass, City Lord's Council Hall.

The frontline generals of the Heavenly Dou Empire gathered together, their faces beaming with the joy of victory.

Grand Marshal Xiao Zhan sat in the main seat, looking down at the generals below, feeling extremely pleased.

This battle was so exhilarating, it felt like a dream.

"Gentlemen, our success in breaching White Tiger Pass this time is entirely due to the divine prowess of Captain Lin and his wife!"

Xiao Zhan stood up, raised his wine glass, and said loudly,

"Come, let's raise a toast to Captain Lin!"

"Captain Jinglin!"

All the generals stood up and looked at Lin Ye with reverence.

Lin Ye sat to Xiao Zhan's left, his expression indifferent, and merely symbolically raised his glass.

He disliked these kinds of occasions, feeling they were a waste of time.

After everyone finished their drinks and sat down again, Xiao Zhan cleared his throat and said:

"White Tiger Pass has fallen, and the Star Luo Empire's gates are wide open. Next, we'll rest for three days, then proceed steadily and cautiously, step by step, striving to completely conquer Star Luo within a year!"

In Xiao Zhan's view, a year was already a very aggressive plan.

After all, the Star Luo Empire has a vast territory, and even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ye put down his wine glass with a soft sound.

All eyes were on him.

"A year?"

"Too slow," Lin Ye said calmly.

The hall fell silent instantly.

All the generals looked at each other, thinking they had misheard.

A year is too slow?

Xiao Zhan was also stunned. He looked at Lin Ye and asked cautiously:

"Captain Lin, what do you mean?"

Lin Ye stood up and walked to the military sand table in the center of the hall.

On the sand table, the entire territory of the Star Luo Empire is on full display.

"The current Star Luo Empire is nothing but a heap of loose sand." Lin Ye's fingers traced across the sand table, his tone icy.

"Dai Shan is dead, Dai Tianfeng is dead, and we have decimated their most elite armies. Their high-level combat power has been almost completely wiped out, and their morale has plummeted."

"At a time like this, why bother playing the cautious, methodical game with them?"

Lin Ye turned around and looked at all the generals present with a sharp gaze.

"Strike while the iron is hot! We don't need to rest; let's set off tomorrow, launch a full-scale attack, and sweep through the enemy lines!"

"Within three months, we will bring our army to the gates of Xingluo City and force the Xingluo Emperor to kneel and submit!"

"What?!"

"Three months?!"

"This...this is impossible!"

All the generals stood up, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

One of the lieutenants couldn't help but speak up:

"Captain Lin, forgive my bluntness, but this is far too reckless! Although the Star Luo Empire has suffered heavy losses, they still have countless cities and local garrisons. If we advance straight in like this, our supply lines will be stretched too long and could easily be cut off by the enemy!"

"Yes, Lieutenant Lin, we're deep in enemy territory. What if we get caught in the middle of a war?" another veteran said worriedly.

Listening to these people's comments, Lin Ye sneered inwardly.

A group of ordinary people, their vision is short-sighted.

"Logistics? Supplies?" Lin Ye's voice rose a few decibels.

"What more supplies do we need? We'll just fight to sustain the war! We'll use the resources of every city we capture! Their food is our food, their weapons are our weapons!"

"As for the vast ocean of war, that's a complete joke!"

Lin Ye's aura suddenly erupted, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire hall.

"Faced with absolute power, all schemes and tricks are nothing but paper tigers! Anyone who dares to resist, I will kill! I will kill them until they tremble with fear, until their legs go weak at the mere mention of my name, Lin Ye!"

Lin Ye's gaze swept over everyone. Those generals who had been questioning him just moments before trembled at his look and quickly lowered their heads.

The entire hall was completely silent.

Xiao Zhan looked at Lin Ye, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

He now felt that he was not facing a young man, but a ferocious beast that would devour anyone it wanted.

"A madman... he's a complete madman..." Xiao Zhan screamed inwardly.

"But...why do I feel like what he said makes so much sense, and even makes me a little excited?"

He recalled Lin Ye's previous achievements: killing a Soul Saint in one move, smashing down a city wall with a single blow, and chasing down tens of thousands of soldiers all by himself...

Perhaps it is a mistake to try to understand this monster using conventional war thinking.

"Damn it, I'm betting!"

Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth and slammed his hand on the table.

"Alright! Let's do as Commandant Lin says!" Xiao Zhan announced loudly.

"Pass on my order: the entire army must prepare for battle. Tomorrow morning, a full-scale attack will commence! Target: Xingluo City!"

"Grand Marshal, please reconsider!"

"That's too risky!"

The generals wanted to try to persuade them again.

"Shut up, all of you!" Xiao Zhan roared.

"This is a military order! Anyone who dares to utter another word will be court-martialed!"

The generals dared not utter another word and could only helplessly accept the order.

Seeing that Xiao Zhan was so cooperative, Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good," Lin Ye said.

"Now that the plan is set, the overall command will be handed over to you, Marshal Xiao."

Xiao Zhan was taken aback: "Lieutenant Lin, aren't you coming with us?"

Lin Ye shook his head and said, "I have some personal matters to take care of, so I need to leave for a few days."

He glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside him and continued:

"My girlfriend's sixth spirit ring is still not settled, so I have to take her to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"What? You're leaving now?"

This time, not only Xiao Zhan, but everyone was stunned.

We just finalized such a crazy plan, and you, the backbone of the organization, are already going to back out?

We're worried about what will happen to you now that you're gone!

"Don't worry," Lin Ye said calmly, noticing their concern.

"Xingluo doesn't have many strong fighters left. As long as you don't overextend yourselves, you can easily push through them."

"Moreover, when I return, we will have another powerful Soul Emperor on our side."

After saying that, Lin Ye stopped explaining, took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and turned to walk out of the council hall.

All that was left was a room full of dumbfounded and bewildered generals.

Xiao Zhan watched Lin Ye's departing figure, opened his mouth, but could only shake his head with a wry smile in the end.

"Did I just invite a great deity, or a patriarch...?"

After leaving the council hall, Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing went directly back to the villa.

"Shall we set off now?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"Of course, the sooner the better." Lin Ye nodded.

"The sooner you get the spirit ring, the sooner you can break through and come back to continue reaping rewards."

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lin Ye as he talked about war like it was child's play, but she felt sweet inside.

She knew that Lin Ye was in such a hurry because he wanted her to become stronger.

"Alright." Zhu Zhuqing said no more and directly activated the soul bone in her left leg.

"Left Leg Soul Bone Skill, Netherworld Thousand Shadow Steps!"

A flash of purple light appeared, and Zhu Zhuqing grabbed Lin Ye's arm.

The next second, the two figures vanished from their spot.
