Douluo Continent: I Have a Nameless Law

Chapter 297 The Holy Cult Emerges, Star Luo Declares War on Heavenly Dou

The current situation on the mainland made Gu Han increasingly uneasy.

Chaos has emerged on the mainland, and now a new evil soul master force capable of annihilating the three major sects has appeared.

They will inevitably take advantage of this chaos to plunder refugees everywhere.

Moreover, these people are not so easy to find.

Gu Han had a premonition that a great era of chaos was about to begin, and that in the future, the Spirit Hall would inevitably have to confront this mysterious evil spirit master force.

The appearance of the evil spirit master at this time is definitely not a coincidence.

Of course, the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan still caused a huge earthquake in the Soul Master world. However, the situation on the continent is becoming increasingly ambiguous, and everyone is unwilling to do anything and is trying to protect themselves.

Gu Han's worries came true. At Yu Xiaogang's suggestion, the Evil Soul Masters, under the guise of the Holy Church, became the state religion of the Star Luo Empire and declared war on Tian Dou.

With the Holy Church joining the fray, and a level 99 being present, Dai Hao's confidence grew. If not now, when?

"This continent will ultimately belong entirely to my Star Luo Empire!"

-

"Elder Judge, just three days ago, the Star Luo Empire issued a declaration of war against the Heaven Dou Empire, and now it has begun to mobilize its army and is pressing towards Heaven Dou."

"The Heavenly Dou Empire is also mobilizing a large army to prepare for battle."

Gu Han sat in his elder's chair, listening to the report from his subordinates in the Supervision Department, and waved his hand.

"I see, you go down."

"Yes."

The man responded and slowly withdrew from the Papal Palace.

"It seems that surprise attacks don't exist in this world. They even issued a challenge in advance."

Gu Han shook his head. He had expected a war between the two great empires, so he wasn't surprised.

At the same time, he secretly complained to himself, "But then again, wars in this world are basically won by high-end combat forces, so military strategy is naturally lacking."

He had indeed never seen any books on military strategy, but he had heard that Tang San's strategy of intercepting supplies was extremely clever.

It's not that intercepting supplies isn't a good strategy; in fact, it's the most practical military tactic. The fact that Tang San's astonishing wisdom in intercepting supplies shows that the idea of ​​cutting off enemy supply lines had never been considered in previous wars in this world.

The level of warfare is still at the level before the advent of Sun Tzu's Art of War, where one country issues a declaration of war to another, and then the two countries set up their formations and fight each other in a certain place.

However, compared to the situation within the Star Luo Empire, the internal rebellion in the Heavenly Dou Empire is much greater. The Heavenly Dou Empire has to quell the internal unrest while also dealing with the Star Luo Empire's attacks from the outside. This is a pressure that the Heavenly Dou Empire cannot bear.

If they can't handle it, they will inevitably need external help, and what Xue Xing thought of were naturally the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a national sect, and the Spirit Hall has many interests in the Heaven Dou Sect.

He didn't believe that Qibao and the Spirit Hall wouldn't help.

"almost."

Gu Han muttered to himself, then said, "Bring Tang De and Shi Dong here."

"Yes."

The guard outside the door responded and then went to inform Tang De and Shi Dong.

Shi Dong is now seventeen years old and has reached the Soul King level. With only 0.1 innate soul power, it is extremely extraordinary for him to have reached the Soul King level at this age.

It should be noted that even the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall in the original novel were only this age.

Although it consumed some cultivation resources and improved his innate talent, it was mostly due to his hard work in cultivation.

In the path of cultivation, resources, companions, methods, and environment are all extremely important.

A good master is naturally very important, especially one who can provide cultivation resources and ensure that one has no shortage of Dharma teachings.

Regardless, Shi Dong did not steal or rob; he achieved his current success through Gu Han's legal and financial assistance, coupled with his own hard work.

Otherwise, no matter how much Gu Han helps, it will be useless.

In the army, Shi Dong did very well. Even without Gu Han as his master, he had won over many people, and almost none of his soldiers disobeyed him.

He is now the deputy general of the Cloud Cavalry.

The two soon arrived together at the Papal Palace.

The evil spirit was absent today, and the two bowed to Gu Han.

"Master."

"Elder Judge."

"Well, no need to be polite."

Gu Han waved his hand, then looked at the two men and said, "Tang De, Shi Dong, I'm giving you a task now. Each of you will lead 10,000 men to block the only road between Xingluo and Wuhun City. Set up cannons, and if they dare to say they want to pass, just attack them. You don't need to report to me."

"Yes!"

The two men excitedly agreed, finally able to try out their new weapon, something they had been looking forward to for a long time.

Although Xingluo's military campaign is aimed at Tiandou, we still need to be wary of that guy making a foolish surprise attack.

Although he didn't believe the other party had the brains, he still had to be on guard.

As for the Heavenly Dou Empire, let them fight it out with the Star Luo Empire for now.

As for the Spirit Hall's interests in the Heavenly Dou realm?

It would be a huge loss to confront the Star Luo Empire head-on for the sake of Heavenly Battle.

However, he wouldn't just watch Tian Dou fall, so naturally he would provide some support.

However, Heaven will have to pay a price for this.

Although it's taking advantage of someone's misfortune, I believe Xuexing won't refuse.

As expected, the envoy from the Heaven Dou Empire soon arrived in Wuhun City.

"Your Holiness the Pope, Elder of the Judgment, as long as the Spirit Hall is willing to help the Heaven Dou Empire defeat the Star Luo Empire, whatever you want, as long as Heaven Dou has it, our Emperor will surely grant it."

Gu Han raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Oh, really? What if we wanted the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs and the City of Sirius in the Kingdom of Sylvester?"

"This"

The envoy choked for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking."

“I’m not joking. Go back and tell Xue Xing that if she wants the Spirit Hall to send troops, there are only two conditions. If she doesn’t agree, she can deal with Xing Luo herself.”

Gu Han's eyes were cold and stern as he made an outrageous demand.

Although even if Xue Xing didn't want to give it, their Spirit Hall could still get it; it would just make them more famous.

If Xue Xing disagrees, then the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom and the Sylvis Kingdom will also rebel and become vassal states of the Spirit Hall.

These two duchies, and even the royal families of the Barak Kingdom, had secretly pledged allegiance to the Spirit Hall over the years. Now, Gu Han was giving Xue Xing face by letting them hand it over themselves.

As for the Barak Kingdom, it borders the Star Luo Empire. If it were to join the Spirit Hall now, the Spirit Hall would truly be standing between the two great empires in every sense of the word.

At least a place should be left for the two countries to fight. If the Barak Kingdom also joins the Spirit Hall, then it would be better to simply establish a country and then wage war on two fronts at the same time against the two countries.

This doesn't align with Gu Han's plan, and launching a two-front war would forcibly bring Xingluo and Tiandou together.

Although Heavenly Dou is now almost like a puppet, why not avoid trouble if it can be avoided?

In any case, the Spirit Hall will not suffer any losses.

Chapter 298 Yu Xiaogang's Army Approaches

"Please allow me to report to Your Majesty."

Before the envoy arrived, he had been told that the Spirit Hall could grant him whatever he wanted. But this was a duchy and a provincial capital! The conditions were too great. It was impossible for an envoy to really make decisions for the Heavenly Dou and give up such a large territory.

Therefore, he would rather be scolded than be branded a traitor and sent to the guillotine after the war.

“We’re not in a hurry; the envoy has plenty of time to report,” Gu Han said with a smile.

The messenger responded and then withdrew. Naturally, he would not return directly but would instead communicate by letter.

"Junior brother, will Xue Xing agree?"

The evil incarnation glanced at Gu Han and asked.

Gu Han chuckled and shook his head: "Whether he agrees or not, it won't have much of an impact."

"Ok."

The embodiment of evil nodded slightly, looking somewhat disappointed; he had thought he could have some fun.

Gu Han understood the meaning in the other person's tone and secretly shook his head. This evil incarnation inherited his senior sister's playful and combative personality, so it was not surprising that he showed such an expression.

More than a hundred miles away from Wuhun City, an army of 50,000 men marched to this place, and the army was in good formation.

To the flank of the main army was a cavalry force of several thousand men.

Dust billowed wherever the army passed.

These soldiers were all dressed in armor and wore iron masks.

At the front of the army stood a man with a buzz cut, his gaze icy and filled with a bloodthirsty aura.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the 50,000-strong army behind him, then glanced at the valley that appeared more than ten kilometers ahead, and thought to himself.

"Once we cross the valley, we'll be at the foot of Wuhun City. Gu Han, Bibi Dong, you could never have imagined that I would lead troops to launch a surprise attack on Wuhun City, could you?"

Yu Xiaogang was in high spirits at this time. After fully absorbing the energy of all his clansmen, his level had reached the peak of level 97. Then, with the blood of refugees in the Star Luo Empire, he was able to reach level 98.

Now he is very confident that he can sweep through the Spirit Hall and completely defeat Gu Han and Bibi Dong to avenge the grudge of that palm strike from back then.

Unbeknownst to Yu Xiaogang, an army had already set up camp on both sides of the valley in front of him.

The person leading this army was none other than Tang De, who had come to carry out the order.

In the camp where Tang De was stationed, a soldier dressed in camouflage and in charge of reconnaissance walked into the camp.

"Report: An army of tens of thousands has been spotted about a hundred miles away. Due to the large number of troops, it is impossible to determine the exact number. Judging from their equipment, they are elite troops from the Xingluo border."

Fifty thousand people—many people may not have a concept of this number, but at least they have all gone to school. A junior or senior high school usually has about three to five thousand people. Gathering these people together, equipping them with weapons and equipment, and then replicating them tenfold and spreading them out would create a spectacular and extremely oppressive scene.

Even excluding the civilians and logistics accompanying the army, a mere 50,000 elite troops would have been enough to dominate a region and become a regional lord in ancient times.
