Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 487 Tang San Goes All In

"Senior, since Ye Liangchen has taken the Asura Demon Sword, and he is my enemy, let's join forces to deal with him and help you retrieve the divine artifact."

Through this incident, Tang San had determined that Ye Liangchen was very powerful, perhaps about the same as himself, so he took the initiative to offer Sword Douluo a lucrative opportunity.

"good!"

Sword Douluo nodded, determined to obtain the Asura Demon Sword, and thus agreed to cooperate with Tang San.

"That's right. Now we have a common enemy, so we must work together and unite against them, instead of fighting amongst ourselves."

"If we allow them to grow stronger, our Heavenly Dou Empire will be swallowed up sooner or later..."

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang walked over and gave everyone a long talk.

"Third brother, why don't you help me reclaim the throne first? My elder brother's White Tiger Legion has reached 300,000 men. With us in tow, it's enough to overthrow the Zhu family."

Seeing that Tang San had gained control of the conversation, Dai Mubai immediately came over and proposed to reclaim the throne.

"Can!"

"Mu Bai, Skono, Wu Meng, you must immediately gather the strongmen of Rakshasa Island and return to the southern part of Star Luo Kingdom to join Davis's White Tiger Legion."

Now that Tang San is back, it's time for the soul masters of Rakshasa Island to fight their way back to the mainland.

"We'll get on it right away." Dai Mubai and the other two immediately flew towards Rakshasa Island.

"Launching a war is no small matter. Let's return to Tiandou City first and gather all the forces to discuss it."

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and suggested to Tang San that once a war was launched, everyone's fate would be at stake, and it should not be taken lightly.

"right!"

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately rushed to the Heavenly Dou Imperial City to discuss with Emperor Xue Beng. To launch such a large-scale war, they needed to make comprehensive preparations, as it was not something that could be accomplished with mere words.

Two days later, Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiao led a group of Title Douluos to the Heaven Dou Royal Family.

"Tang San, why did you do that back then?"

When Tang Xiao, Tang Lie, and the others saw Tang San, they were immediately enraged. This guy changed the name of the Haotian Sect to the Hammer Sect a few years ago, which was simply disrespectful to their ancestors.

"Uncle, I had no choice. The eighth test that Rakshasa God set for me was to destroy the Haotian Sect. If I didn't do it, you would all die."

"I went to great lengths to save your lives and finally passed the Rakshasa God's test."

Faced with the accusations from the Clear Sky Sect members, Tang San had no choice but to recount what happened back then, but he was extremely displeased: "I am now a high and mighty god, and you are just mortals. What right do you have to criticize me? If I hadn't used the power of the Clear Sky Sect to take revenge, how could I have allowed you to live until now?"

"you……"

Seeing Tang San's indifferent gaze, Tang Xiao and his group were immediately enraged and summoned their hammer spirits, preparing to fight.

"Sect Leader Tang, please stop. Xiao San is not lying. If he doesn't do that, the Haotian Sect will truly perish."

"We can all testify."

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiaogang immediately stepped between Tang San and Tang Xiao to prevent them from fighting.

"Alright! Let's put that aside for now. Tang San, did you kill Yuehua?"

Tang Xiao thought of his younger sister, who had been missing for a long time and might have been killed by Tang San long ago.

"It wasn't me. After I completed the eighth assessment, Ye Liangchen and Bibi Dong suddenly appeared in front of me. I was no match for them and could only run away."

"My father and aunt were definitely killed by them."

Tang San quickly pulled Ye Liangchen and Bibi Dong out to take the blame, since he couldn't admit to doing the job himself.

"Brother Tang Xiao, the matter between the Clear Sky Sect and Tang San is a family matter, which can be resolved behind closed doors."

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and advised Tang Xiao not to get angry.

"Yes! Sect Leader Tang, everything should be done with the greater good in mind."

Others also tried to persuade them, saying that with a formidable enemy at hand, their own side was already fighting amongst themselves, so how could they possibly fight a war?

"Tang San, listen to me carefully. We will never forgive you for the harm you have caused to the Clear Sky Sect."

Tang Lie, the Fiery Sun Douluo, had a conflict with Tang San, and was also short-tempered. He couldn't stand Tang San, even if he became a god, he was still a beast who betrayed his master and ancestors.

"Old man Tang Lie, are you ever going to stop?"

"Buzz..."

Unable to bear Tang Lie's aggressive attitude, Tang San summoned the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, unleashing its divine power and pressing all the Title Douluos of the Clear Sky Sect to the ground.

"Whoosh..."

Immediately afterwards, Tang San swung the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, piercing into Tang Xiao and the others' bodies, using Rakshasa divine power to transform their martial souls into bamboo shoot hammer martial souls.

"The mistress..."

"Third Brother..."

"Third Young Master..."

Yu Xiaogang, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Tailong and the others were immediately shocked. They were already preparing to kill their own people before the war had even started. This was too absurd.

"Everyone, please stop talking. I know what I'm doing."

While using his divine power to change the martial souls of Tang Xiao and the others, Tang San also used his divine sense to control their minds, so that these old guys would no longer be hostile to him.

"Ahhh..."

Tang Xiao and the others were corrupted by the power of the Rakshasa God and screamed in agony. Then, their bodies were filled with black energy, and the Clear Sky Hammer transformed into a bamboo shoot-shaped hammer spirit. Tang San then controlled their minds and turned them into tools.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I can't let you cause internal strife."

After Tang San dealt with Tang Xiao and his group, he pretended to apologize. He said that if the time was right, he would destroy the Haotian Sect directly, but for now he still needed their power to take revenge, so he would only use this method to control these old guys.

"Uncle Jian, you did something a bit unnecessary back then."

"Feng Zhi, I can only save him for a while, not forever. Those guys from the Clear Sky Sect are arrogant and proud. They definitely won't be able to stand being treated like that by Tang San."

"Forget about them for now, let's deal with them after the war!"

Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi secretly used their soul power to communicate, discussing the people of the Clear Sky Sect. The two wanted to step forward to stop them, but when they thought that the Asura Demon Sword was still with Ye Liangchen and they still needed to use Tang San, they had no choice but to give up.

"Alright! Let's begin discussing the war!"

Tang San signaled Xue Beng to convene a meeting. Now that he was in the Heaven Dou Empire, he could be considered the one who made the decisions, and everyone had to listen to him. This feeling was really great.

"Lord Tang, please accept me as your disciple!"

Seeing Tang San's extraordinary abilities, Xue Beng immediately knelt down and begged him to take him as his disciple.

The reason Xue Beng did this was to restrain Ning Fengzhi. The royal family had now become a puppet of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and he needed to find a stronger backer to prevent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from becoming too arrogant.

"Your Majesty Avalanche, why are you doing this?"

Tang San looked at Xue Beng with arrogance, feeling that this guy was like a dog, and was a bit disgusting.

"Young mistress, why don't you take him as your apprentice?"

Yu Xiaogang quickly persuaded Tang San to agree, saying that as long as he took the Heaven Dou Emperor as his disciple, he could better control the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Alright. Then I'll take you as my apprentice."

Tang San immediately understood Yu Xiaogang's meaning, and thus agreed to accept Xue Beng as his disciple.

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, who were not far away, saw Xue Beng's actions and a cold glint flashed in their eyes, but they concealed it well and did not show it.

"Imperial Tutor, our Heavenly Dou Empire currently has an army of 200 million, which is sufficient. Which faction do you think we should attack first?"

"Mills City is only 200 miles away from Tenglong City. We have stationed 30 troops there, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time. On the other side, we are attacking Jialing Pass, which is controlled by the Spirit Hall."

"If we want to reclaim the kingdoms of Barak and Silves, we must capture the Jialing Pass..."

At the war mobilization meeting, Marshal Golong spread out a map and explained the current situation to Tang San in detail.

Now that Tang San has become a god and is also the emperor's teacher, Marshal Ge Long can only respectfully address him as the Imperial Tutor.

"Then divide the army in two and attack Tenglong City and Jialing Pass simultaneously."

Tang San thought that the Heaven Dou Empire had 200 million troops, so he waved his hand and went all in. Once the war started, he could increase his strength by absorbing negative emotional power. As for the fate of the Heaven Dou Empire's 200 million troops, he didn't care at all.

"What are your opinions?" After making his arrangements, Tang San looked at the others.

"no comment."

Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling that Tang San's decision was not a problem, since the imperial army was large enough to fight easily.

"I will personally lead an army of 50 to join forces with the 30 troops of Mills City to attack Tenglong City together."

"Marshal Goron, you should personally deploy the troops!"

As the Emperor of Heaven Dou, Xue Beng naturally had to make a show of himself. Besides, he had now allied himself with Tang San, a great god, so he had nothing to fear.

"Your Majesty, this old minister will make arrangements immediately."

Upon seeing this, Marshal Goron immediately began to deploy his troops.

At this moment, Marshal Goron was also a little nervous. The empire was launching such a large war, it was not planning to leave any way out. The fate of everyone in the future was still unknown. However, as the Grand Marshal of the Army, he could only obey orders. But the empire wanted to open up two battlefields at once, and it was impossible to do it without a month or two of preparation.

……

When the Heavenly Dou Empire began mobilizing its troops, it caused quite a stir. Bai Chenxiang, who was hiding in Heavenly Dou City, quickly found out the news and immediately flew back to Tenglong City to bring the intelligence back.

"Lord, Grand Marshal Golong of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family is mobilizing troops and preparing to launch a war."

"They plan to divide their 200 million-strong army in two and attack our Tenglong City and Jialing Pass simultaneously."

A short while later, Bai Chenxiang flew to Tenglong Pavilion and told Ye Liangchen the latest news from the Tiandou Empire.

"They actually want to open up two battlefields at the same time? They've got quite the appetite!"

Ye Liangchen knew that war would break out after Tang San returned, but he didn't expect that guy to go all in, which was simply leaving the Heaven Dou Empire no way out.

"Xiao Chen, what should we do? The three elemental cities only have 30 troops in total. Adding the 30 troops from the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, that's only 60. The enemy is going to use a million troops to attack Tenglong City. It's a bit too late to transfer troops from the Barak Kingdom now."

Bibi Dong and Shui Lanxin turned their gazes to Ye Liangchen, wanting to hear what his plans were.

"Tian Dou City is over 1000 kilometers away from our Tenglong City. It would take the Tian Dou Empire's army at least a month to get here. In that case, we should strike first and launch a siege to lure out reinforcements."

"Senior Fire, Senior Wind, Grandpa Mercury, you must act immediately, gather your forces, 2000 Soul Masters, plus 5000 Special Forces, and rush to the outskirts of Mills City. Using the advantageous terrain, surround the 30 troops of the Heaven Dou Empire, cut off their supply lines, and do not let a single bird into Mills City. Surround them for now and do not attack."

"Bing'er, Ling'er, Huo Wushuang, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, you immediately organize 2 Soul Masters, along with 2 special forces squads, to ambush them in the dense forests on both sides of the Valo Valley between the Heaven Dou Empire and Mills City. I will then mobilize 20 troops from the Star Luo Empire and the Hagendas Kingdom, put them into a spatial barrier, and send them to the ambush site."

"Once the Heavenly Dou Empire receives news that 30 troops are trapped in Mills City, they will definitely be anxious and may send a large army to rescue Mills City. At that time, you can take advantage of the terrain in the two valleys and directly kill the Empire's reinforcements."

"As for the 30 Imperial troops in Mills City, they won't last long without food supplies. We can feed them whenever we want. If they surrender, we can simply incorporate those troops into our army."

"In battle, you should rely on the advantageous terrain, having Soul Masters coordinate with special forces to lead the vanguard and eliminate the enemy's high-level combatants, while ordinary soldiers follow up. This way, we can avoid heavy casualties among our own soldiers..."

"All the god-level experts will be responsible for guarding the battlefield. Once the other side sends out god-level experts, you will then take action, so that the Heaven Dou Empire will not accuse us of bullying them."

"Their god-level powerhouses are Tang San, Sword Douluo, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, Tailong, Inugami, and the God of Deception. I will handle Tang San and Sword Douluo; you can fight the rest as you please."

Ye Liangchen glanced at the map and then issued the battle order, preparing to wipe out the 30-strong Tiandou Empire army stationed in Mills City and catch them off guard.

"What a brilliant tactic of besieging the city and attacking reinforcements! It's absolutely ingenious."

"Valo Valley is the only way between Tiandou City and Mills City. It is more than ten kilometers long. There are jungles on both sides of the valley, which is very convenient for ambushes. Once the Empire's reinforcements step into the valley, our army will immediately block both sides, and they will become turtles in a jar."

After hearing Ye Liangchen's troop deployment for besieging the city and attacking reinforcements, everyone felt it was incredible. Such an ingenious battle method simply shattered everyone's understanding.

"When our Star Luo Empire fought against the Heaven Dou Empire in the past, the two armies lined up and attacked each other on an open plain. Now it looks like we were fools."

Zhu Zhuqing recalled the ways the two empires had waged war for countless years and felt it was all a joke.

"Zhu Qing is right. The war methods used by the two great empires in the past were really like those of fools."

"We will act immediately and ensure this battle is fought brilliantly."

"Alright! Everyone, get moving."

Shui Bing'er, Jin Ling'er, Dugu Bo, Yang Wudi, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang and his sister immediately took action, mobilizing their troops and preparing for a successful start.

"Zhu Qing, you must immediately return to the Star Luo Empire to assemble the army and prepare to wipe out Davis's White Tiger Legion. As for Rakshasa Island, I will take care of that."

After arranging the troop deployment for the attack on Mills City, Ye Liangchen felt it was time to destroy Rakshasa Island, so he asked Zhu Zhuqing to deal with Davis's White Tiger Legion first.

"Okay, Brother Chen, I'll take care of it right away."

"Whoosh..."

Upon receiving Ye Liangchen's instructions, Zhu Zhuqing flew directly back to the Star Luo Empire and began deploying troops.

"Tang San doesn't seem to care at all about the Heaven Dou Empire's army!"

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance. It was expected that Jialing Pass would become the main battlefield. As a result, the Spirit Hall had already asked the Yu Clan more than ten years ago to build this important city into a solid fortress, with the city walls alone being hundreds of meters thick.

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue then flew to Jialing Pass to begin deploying troops to deal with the army of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Xiao Chen, I'm planning to secretly relocate my father's lineage. Can you help me?"

At this moment, Liu Erlong rushed in from outside, looking travel-worn. Now, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been tied to the chariot of revenge by Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, and it was too dangerous for her father's lineage to remain in Heaven Dou City.

"Aunt Erlong, let's go!"

"Whoosh..."

After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he took Liu Erlong and flew to an altitude of 10,000 meters, heading towards Tiandou City.

When Ye Liangchen flew over Tiandou City, he saw the imperial army frantically moving grain and weapons. The scene was very chaotic. He then used his divine sense to scan the entire Tiandou City and found that Tang San, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Tailong were gathered in the Tang Sect. There were also some soldiers gathered in front of the Tang Sect, seemingly moving hidden weapons.
