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

Hearing the shout, Lin Ye finally lifted his head from Zhu Zhuqing's embrace, then revealed a smile of triumph.

"Hmph, it seems they've already discovered it."

Lin Ye kissed Zhu Zhuqing on the forehead and said:

"Alright, big kitty, wake up! The show's about to begin, it's time for us two main characters to take the stage."

Zhu Zhuqing blushed slightly, glared at him, and then quickly straightened her somewhat disheveled pajamas.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of amusement in each other's eyes.

They deliberately dawdled for a while before pretending to be startled awake, hurriedly dressing and rushing out of the tent.

As soon as I stepped out of the tent, I saw that the outside was in complete chaos.

Countless taxi drivers and generals rushed toward the command tent like headless flies, their faces filled with shock and panic.

Lin Ye grabbed a general who was running past him; this was one of the people he had bribed.

He feigned anxiety and asked, "What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"

When the general saw that it was Lin Ye, he seemed to have found his pillar of support, and his face showed just the right amount of grief and panic.

"Captain Lin! Something terrible has happened! The Grand Marshal... the Grand Marshal... he's been assassinated!"

"What?!"

Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing were both shocked, their faces showing disbelief.

With this kind of acting skill, if this were in my previous life, I would have easily won an Oscar.

"How is this possible! The commander's tent is heavily guarded. Who could assassinate the Grand Marshal without anyone noticing?" Lin Ye asked in shock.

"I don't know!" the general said in grief and indignation.

"When we found him, the Grand Marshal was already...already dead. There were no wounds on his body; it was as if his heart had been shattered by an extremely vicious method!"

Just then, more and more taxi drivers gathered around, and the murmurs grew louder and louder.

Lin Ye's spies, whom he had planted in the crowd, began to take effect.

"It must have been done by the Star Luo Empire! They knew the final assault was coming today, so they sent their top assassins to kill our Grand Marshal at all costs!" a soldier shouted indignantly.

"That's right! How despicable! Even in their dying moments, they wanted to drag our Grand Marshal down with them! Those damned Star Luo scum!"

"Avenge the Grand Marshal! Raze Star Luo City to the ground and slaughter them all!"

"Revenge! Revenge!"

Incited by those with ulterior motives, the soldiers' panic quickly turned into overwhelming rage, and they all shouted that they wanted to avenge Xiao Zhan.

Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction; the time was almost right.

Just then, another high-ranking general whom he had bribed came out of the command tent and approached Lin Ye with a solemn expression.

"Captain Lin, all the generals are waiting inside. With a formidable enemy at hand, our army cannot be without a commander for even a day. We request that you go and take charge of the overall situation!"

The moment these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.

All eyes turned to Lin Ye.

Yes, the Grand Marshal is dead, so how can we fight the next battle?

Who will command this army of 150,000?

Just then, a lieutenant who appeared to be a staunch supporter of Xiao Zhan stepped forward and loudly objected, "No! Although Lieutenant Lin has distinguished himself in battle, he is, after all, a member of the Spirit Hall. How can he command the army of our Heaven Dou Empire? This is unreasonable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up to refute him.

"What time is it? Who cares about what's reasonable or unreasonable? Besides Captain Lin, who else has the prestige and ability to lead us to break through Xingluo City?"

"Exactly! Do you want us to just sit here and miss our chance? Aren't we going to avenge the Grand Marshal?"

"I'll only listen to Captain Lin! Only he can lead us to victory!"

"Yes! We only recognize Captain Lin!"

In an instant, voices supporting Lin Ye drowned out the insignificant dissenting voices.

The lieutenant opened his mouth, but found himself powerless to refute.

Looking at his colleagues and soldiers around him, who were filled with righteous indignation, he felt a chill in his heart.

Alas, the tide has turned.

Lin Ye watched this scene with a cold smile, then took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said in a loud voice:

"Soldiers, quiet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the noisy scene fell silent instantly.

Lin Ye looked around, his gaze sweeping over the face of every soldier, his eyes firm and full of power.

"I am deeply saddened by the Grand Marshal's unfortunate assassination! The despicable acts of the Star Luo Empire are utterly outrageous!"

"However, we cannot be discouraged by this, much less retreat! What we must do is carry on the Grand Marshal's legacy, conquer Star Luo City, utterly annihilate the Star Luo Empire, and use the blood of our enemies to appease the Grand Marshal's spirit in heaven!"

"Now, I, Lin Ye, am willing to temporarily assume the position of Commander-in-Chief!"

Lin Ye's voice was strong and resonant.

"Rest assured, everyone. I, Lin Ye, hereby swear that today, I will lead you to raze Star Luo City to the ground and establish an everlasting dynasty for our Heavenly Dou Empire!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Lin Ye's words instantly ignited the passion of all the soldiers.

They raised their weapons high and roared deafeningly.

"I'd die for Marshal Lin!"

"Crush Xingluo! Avenge the Grand Marshal!"

Looking at the fervent and worshipful faces below, Lin Ye slowly raised his right hand.

"All troops, listen to my command!"

"Target: Star Luo City!"

"Set off!"

With Lin Ye's command, the 150,000-strong army of the Heavenly Dou Empire, filled with boundless rage and a thirst for revenge, launched a general offensive against Star Luo City, the last bastion of the Star Luo Empire.

The war drums beat loudly, their sound echoing across the land.

Countless taxi soldiers, carrying ladders and pushing siege engines, surged towards the magnificent city that symbolized the highest power of the Star Luo Empire.

On the city wall, the remaining taxi soldiers of the Star Luo Empire looked down at the endless, dark mass of enemy troops below, and fear filled every face of them.

Their Grand Marshal was dead, their elite army was decimated, and even Dai Tianfeng died at the hands of that devil named Lin Ye.

Their taxi business has already hit rock bottom.

Now, facing the Heavenly Dou army, whose morale is high and who are determined to seek revenge, they don't even have the courage to resist.

"Fire arrows! Fire arrows!"

The commander on the city wall roared hoarsely, trying to organize an effective defense.

A sparse rain of arrows fell from the city walls, but it did nothing to stop the advance of the Tian Dou army.

Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing stood side by side atop the towering siege tower, coldly watching the battlefield below.

This level of combat is so intense that they no longer need to lift a finger.

"It seems that this will be the end of it today," Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, watching the retreating Xingluo garrison.

"Hmm." Lin Ye nodded, his gaze passing through the chaotic battlefield and landing on the magnificent palace in the city center.

"The end of an era always needs some figures to embellish it."
