Douluo Continent: I Have a Nameless Law

"put!!"

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

With the general's command, a deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, completely drowning out the sound of the drums.

Rumble!!

The cannonballs landed on the city wall, instantly sending up countless fragments of stone. The defenders hit by the cannonballs were blown to pieces, and the nearby defenders were also blown away.

Under the intense artillery fire, several gaps were blasted into the city wall, and the heavy city gate was blown open by a single cannon shot, scattering the soldiers behind it.

"What?! What kind of weapon is that?!"

Dai Hao and his ministers stared wide-eyed as the incredibly thick city wall was breached, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief.

"rush!!"

After a volley of fire, the Spirit Hall army pressed forward and charged into the city gate. Before they could even enter, the Cloud Cavalry unleashed a barrage of fire from their rapid-fire rifles at the Star Luo defenders who were waiting in full battle array.

Before they even got close, the Xingluo garrison suffered heavy casualties.

"They're Soul Masters! They're all Soul Masters! Run!!"

It's unclear who shouted that, but it immediately triggered a butterfly effect, causing the Xingluo garrison to crumble in an instant.

"Don't run! Take them back!"

Dai Hao's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared repeatedly. However, the army was in complete disarray. If a few shouts could bring back the terrified troops, it wouldn't be a complete collapse.

"Your Majesty, the situation is hopeless, retreat immediately!"

Seeing this, Duke Youming quickly pulled Dai Hao into the chaotic army.

The observant dimensional consciousness was dumbfounded, stammering, "This, this, this is completely different from my plan! Shouldn't the Spirit Hall have taken advantage of the chaos in the Heavenly Dou realm to seize the entire Heavenly Dou territory? Why did they come here and attack the Star Luo Imperial City?"

"Well, although Xingluo's fate is not yet over, it has suffered a great loss of vitality this time, so it can be considered as part of the plan."

The concept of destiny, though ethereal, is not without its traces.

Luck is very difficult to explain, and there are many reasons that contribute to it.

Whether people are united, whether the military is strong, whether the national treasury is full, whether the domestic affairs are stable, and whether there is an absolutely powerful figure backing them are all external factors that also contribute to the fortune of the nation.

At this time, the Star Luo Empire was backed by a god, and a first-level god at that. It would not be easy to truly destroy it.

However, the Star Luo Empire suffered a great loss of vitality after this battle, and it will probably take several generations of effort for it to recover.

Because, in His eyes, the Spirit Hall had already achieved its great power, and only needed to rest for two or three years before it could dominate the world.

When Xingluo City fell, some of the nobles fled with the army, while others were captured.

"Unfortunately, the most important one got away."

Gu Han and his group stood above the Star Luo Imperial Palace. Below, the outer perimeter of the plaza was filled with soldiers in armor, their expressions solemn. In the center of the plaza, a dense mass of people knelt, dressed in various styles of clothing, but without exception, all of them were dressed in extraordinary attire.

"Junior brother, what should we do with these people?"

Bibi Dong turned to look at Gu Han. These people were all noble soul masters from Xingluo City, with extremely complicated positions. Many of them had their families flirting with the Spirit Hall, seemingly interested in joining, but due to the Star Luo royal family, they could only secretly curry favor.

Now, however, it's a good opportunity to recruit them.

Gu Han didn't mince words. He stepped forward, channeled his soul power, and said succinctly, "Gentlemen, will you surrender or not? I'm giving you a choice. Don't worry, even if you don't want to surrender, our Spirit Hall will treat prisoners well."

The crowd below looked at each other, and finally an old man stepped forward.

"We have long admired the Spirit Hall. Now that the Spirit Hall's divine might has descended, we should serve the Spirit Hall with utmost loyalty."

"Very good. Those who are willing to belong to my Spirit Hall, please stand on the left."

As Gu Han finished speaking, most of the crowd moved to the left side of the square, with only a few people remaining in place.

Chapter 328 Emptying Star Luo City

Although plans can't keep up with changes, everything is still under control. The Star Luo Emperor is still alive, just on the run, and the Star Luo army is still there, so the Star Luo Empire cannot split up.

There were quite a few prisoners this time, and quite a few surrendered as well. Of course, there were also a few stubborn ones. Gu Han did not make things difficult for these loyal and brave people. He sealed their soul power and sent them to the Martial Soul City prison.

As for those who surrendered, Gu Han neither let them be idle nor gave them important positions, keeping them out of politics but still allowing them to maintain the status that a Soul Master should have.

Gu Han did not destroy the Star Luo Imperial Palace; all the buildings within the city were still there. He simply moved all the valuables, books, and other items away.

"Gu Han, why don't you just burn down Xingluo City?"

Dugu Bo asked, "Since we've already captured it, and our current forces can't hold it, why not just burn it down?"

"We've already taken what we were entitled to. Besides, even if we burned down Xingluo City, who would rebuild it? It certainly wouldn't be Dai Hao and his group."

In these chaotic times, the people of both countries have already suffered enough. If Star Luo City is burned down, the ensuing construction boom will only bring more hardship to the Soul Masters.

Besides, he didn't belong to Xiang Yu or Dong Zhuo.

Their operation is not over yet. Once he finishes everything, he doesn't believe that Dai Hao, who is so stubborn, would dare to return to Xingluo City to establish his capital.

In this way, it makes no difference whether Xingluo City is destroyed or not, and the benefits of not destroying it outweigh the benefits of destroying it.

"Besides, we have other things to do now."

"What is it?" Dugu Bo asked.

"Judging by the time, the Xingluo reinforcements will arrive in just a few days. If we want to truly weaken Xingluo, it's better to annihilate an entire army than destroy a city."

Gu Han calculated the time: it would take the army about a month to travel from Soto City to Xingluo City, or about twenty-five days if they marched at full speed.

At this point in time, the Star Luo army should be arriving soon.

He had to deliver a ruthless blow to the enemy before news of Xingluo City's fall reached the returning generals.

"Senior Dugu, this time, we're counting on you."

"I?"

Dugu Bo was initially puzzled, but then it dawned on him. His eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed, "You want me to..."

“That’s right. There are quite a few Xingluo reinforcements. Although we have guns and cannons, the enemy’s numbers are still a factor. Once a battle breaks out, the casualties are still unknown. Therefore, I need your poison, Senior Dugu, to wipe out this reinforcement army.”

"Isn't this a bit too cruel?"

Although Dugu Bo was naturally aloof, he was not so cruel.

Seeing Dugu Bo's resistance, Gu Han was not angry. After thinking for a moment, he said, "In battle, there is only life and death, not cruelty. If you, Senior Dugu, cannot bear it, you can reduce the poison and only render the army unable to move."

After a moment's thought, Dugu Bo finally nodded, a solemn look flashing in his eyes: "Alright, then let this old man meet the so-called invincible Star Luo army."

"Then do you know where the Star Luo Army is now?"

Dugu Bo asked, "Although I have decided to take action, I still need to find the enemy's location first."

"Not urgent."

Gu Han waved his hand, then looked at Bibi Dong and the others not far away, walked over, and gave them a few brief instructions.

"Junior brother, are you and Senior Dugu really compatible?"

"Don't worry, although Senior Dugu is not good at fighting one-on-one, when it comes to dealing with large-scale armies, even a level 99 Limit Douluo may not be able to beat Senior Dugu."

"real or fake?"

Qianjun and Jiangmo exchanged a glance, then looked at Dugu Bo with disbelief. Although Dugu Bo was already level 95, either of them could easily beat him up. How could he be stronger than a Limit Douluo in Gu Han's eyes?

"Ahem, although these words might hurt Senior Dugu's feelings, I still have to say them." Gu Han pondered for a moment before speaking, "In one-on-one combat, Senior Dugu might not even be able to defeat a powerful attack-type Title Douluo who is lower than his own level, but his poison can leave only Title Douluos on both sides."

Qianjun and Jiangmo's faces twitched as they thought of Dugu Bo's poisonous mist. That poisonous mist had no effect on Title Douluos, but it was completely unstoppable for those below Title Douluos, including Soul Douluos. In that case, it was indeed a great weapon for clearing out soldiers.

"By the way, Junior Brother, you just asked me to take Qianjun and Uncle Jiangmo to the Holy Sect's location, but it's already deserted, as if it vanished into thin air."

Just now, Bibi Dong led Jiangmo and Qianjun to the Holy Sect's location, but when they arrived, the place was already deserted, and even valuable supplies had been taken away. How could they have evacuated so cleanly and efficiently in such a short time?

Gu Han frowned slightly, then relaxed again: "These evil soul masters are different from those we have encountered before. It is not surprising that they have some special methods. Right now, the most important thing is to deal with Xingluo's loyalist army and take away the people near Xingluo City."

"These matters will be left to Senior Sister and the two Venerable Ones."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Bibi Dong nodded without saying anything more.

Although Gu Han did not intend to destroy the city, he did not intend to leave the people and resources to Xing Luo; he wanted to take them all with him.

Of course, he would not treat the people he took away as prisoners or slaves. He would find them a new piece of land, build houses, and cultivate wasteland, while providing them with sufficient necessities for life.

"Senior Dugu, let's go."

"Ah."

Although Dugu Bo alone was enough, Gu Han still took five thousand people with him.

With the existence of the Yang God's God-like perspective, finding such a large target as the army is quite easy.

By this time, the Xingluo army had already crossed Gengxin City and approached Shengwangjiang. After crossing the river, they would reach the Huwei Mountain Range, and then they would be able to see Xingluo City.

Gu Han, along with Dugu Bo and 5,000 troops, waited early in the valley opposite the Holy King River. This was the only way for the reinforcements to reach Xingluo City, unless the enemy general had a brain fart and led his army into the steep mountains.

However, this is impossible. Such a large army would be exhausted just climbing a mountain, not to mention the baggage.

The fact is, the Star Luo general did not lose his mind; he led his army into the valley as usual.

The army marched in great numbers, but the valley was exceptionally narrow, and it would take a considerable amount of time to cross it.

But Gu Han didn't have the patience to wait. After confirming that the entire army had crossed the river, he looked at Dugu Bo and said, "Senior Dugu, it's up to you now."

"it is good."

Dugu Bo nodded, and rings of spirit rings rose up beneath his feet.

"The seventh soul skill, Martial Soul Avatar."

Chapter 329 Azure Scales Display Their Power, 300,000-Strong Army

Dugu Bo transformed into a giant python tens of meters long. He did not make a grand appearance in front of the army, but instead hid in the valley and dense forest like a venomous snake.

Under Dugu Bo's control, the green poisonous miasma spread out in an overwhelming manner.

Gu Han summoned the Xuan Shuang Sword and unleashed his second soul skill, enveloping the entire army of five thousand he had brought. He secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "Senior Dugu, go ahead and do your thing. I'll handle this."

"it is good."
