Douluo Continent: I Have a Nameless Law

Dugu Bo responded and urged the poisonous fog to spread.

The soldiers below looked at the poisonous fog looming overhead and couldn't help but show puzzled expressions.

"It's getting foggy?"

"Green fog?"

"Could it be poisonous miasma?"

"That's impossible. This valley has been developed; it's impossible for it to have such a large amount of poisonous miasma."

Some of the more senior soldiers shook their heads, indicating that it was impossible for poisonous miasma to occur here.

"Ugh, it hurts so much."

Suddenly, the soldier who was the first to come into contact with the poisonous fog clutched his own neck as if suffocating, foaming at the mouth and collapsing to the ground.

The general's pupils contracted violently.

"Oh no, this fog is poisonous!!"

"Quickly, rear guard become front guard, retreat out of the valley!!"

However, it was too late. Orders take time to be transmitted, especially for such a large army with a long distance between the front and rear. Before the orders were delivered, the poisonous fog had already spread throughout the valley and pressed down on the army outside the valley.

Wherever they went, cries of agony filled the air, and the army collapsed in droves, like dominoes falling from the sky, poisoned.

These people did not die; the poison used by Dugu Bo was not lethal enough.

"In the end, it wasn't as ruthless as in the original story."

Gu Han thought to himself, in the original story, Dugu Bo's poison killed everyone in the entire city, including the people. In an ancient city, the number of people killed was more than a million.

Currently, the Xingluo army numbers only 300,000, and Dugu Bo has not yet committed any killings.

Or rather, Gu Han gave Dugu Bo a way out, and Dugu Bo took a half-step back accordingly.

If Gu Han insists on having Dugu Bo slaughter the entire army of 300,000, Dugu Bo will do it, even though he may feel reluctant.

However, this meant that Dugu Bo would live the rest of his life in guilt, dreaming of this hellish scene every night, and eventually died in despair.

However, if a person is not poisoned to death but only loses the ability to move, they can be treated if they are willing to surrender. In this way, Dugu Bo will feel much better.

Of course, this is not because Dugu Bo is kind-hearted. He has killed many people, but they were basically all people who had offended him, and the number would not be so large. Killing so many people all at once would cause psychological problems even for the most ruthless person.

The poisonous fog spread, covering the entire army. Even the powerful Soul Saint generals were not exempt from foaming at the mouth and collapsing to the ground unconscious.

Only now did Dugu Bo release his Martial Soul True Body. Even though the poison he released wasn't very powerful, releasing it over such a large area and controlling it to prevent people from dying still took a lot of effort.

"call"

With a light breath, Dugu Bo returned to Gu Han's side: "I have fulfilled my mission. Although most people did not die, I was powerless to help those who were close to the Soul Masters."

Soul Masters are Soul Masters after all, and their poison resistance is naturally higher than that of ordinary soldiers. Especially those Soul Emperors and Soul Saints, Dugu Bo has to strengthen the poison to specifically target them in order to poison them. As a result, he can't control the ordinary soldiers around them, and they are poisoned to death by the Azure Scale Serpent Poison.

"No problem, leave the rest to me."

Gu Han waved his hand. He wasn't an unreasonable person, nor did he have any obsessive-compulsive disorder. Human strength has its limits, and he could naturally understand Dugu Bo's difficulties.

After speaking, Gu Han's figure rose slightly, and the scattered green light spots, like countless fireflies, evenly and perfectly entered each person's body.

This is the life tide of the Emerald Swan Soul Bone. Under Gu Han's deliberate control, this life tide can only wake up these soldiers without any danger to their lives, but they have no power to resist.

Whether generals or soldiers, they all slowly awoke at almost the same moment. They tried to get up, but found that they had no strength at all. The same was true for the soul masters, who could not circulate their soul power at all.

The general raised his head, his gaze fixed on the blurry figure in the sky. The green lights entering his body made him feel a little better, but at this moment he could only speak and could do nothing else.

Who are you?

"I am an elder of the Spirit Hall's Judgment Committee, and I have been waiting here for a long time."

"What!?"

The general opened his eyes wide, clearly understanding everything.

"Your families have now been taken back to Spirit City by me. If you are willing to surrender and serve my Spirit Hall, we will provide you with five years of free education, and the policy of free Spirit Awakening every year will still be retained."

Gu Han's words were not directed at the generals, since these generals were themselves from Soul Master families, and they could awaken martial souls for their descendants, so education was insignificant.

His words were addressed to the ordinary soldiers, who came from humble backgrounds and for whom free education and free martial spirit awakening were of utmost importance.

Just like this year, the Spirit Hall withdrew from the Spirit Awakening Ceremony in the Star Luo Empire. If their children want to awaken their spirits, they can only ask local spirit master families for help, and these spirit master families do not awaken their spirits for free.

It requires at least ten gold soul coins, which is a considerable sum. Many families would have to save up for several years, and some families simply cannot afford the awakening fee.

Moreover, most of the awakened spirits are useless spirits that cannot be cultivated. It's a huge loss to spend ten gold spirit coins to awaken only one useless spirit that cannot be cultivated.

This has led some parents of children who haven't yet awakened their martial souls to consider giving up on awakening their children's martial souls. Rather than gambling that their child is one in ten thousand with a mutated martial soul, they'd rather save their money and live a good life.

Some of these children awakened martial souls, but were forced to join the soul master family, or they would not be allowed to leave alive.

These are the better ones; at least joining them can save their lives. However, some girls awaken special martial souls, which results in them retaining the characteristics of their martial souls. These girls are commonly known as "beast-eared girls" and are directly captured and sold to powerful and wealthy people with special fetishes.

In just one year, these things have taken root and flourished throughout the entire Star Luo Empire, becoming commonplace.

Among these soldiers were also victims, but they were powerless and had no choice but to swallow their anger or complain to their comrades.

Now, suddenly someone claims to be an elder of the Spirit Hall, offering to help their family members and children awaken their spirits and provide five years of free education.

You have to understand, those who can go to school are all Soul Masters, how could they not be tempted?

Many people were wavering, but no one around them spoke up, and none of them dared to be the first to speak.

Gu Han narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing the situation. The Xuan Shuang Sword shot out, transforming into countless sword shadows in mid-air, accurately striking those wearing general's armor.

“Your generals are dead; those who surrender, raise your hands.”

Chapter 330 The Relocation of the Capital of Xingluo, the Three-Way Standoff

As soon as the words were spoken, someone finally raised their hand with difficulty.

One, two, ten, a hundred

Then almost everyone raised their hands.

"Very good. I will now remove the toxins from your bodies. As long as you do not cause trouble, your lives will no longer be in danger."

After he finished speaking, the scattered tides of life spread out once more, entering the bodies of everyone, and he nailed down all those beings clad in general's armor.

Putting aside the conditions he proposed, the fact that this army of 300,000 is leaderless and cannot be commanded by anyone means that there is no need to worry about them causing trouble after the poison is neutralized. Even if that happens, it is just a matter of doing it again.

This time, he didn't need Dugu Bo to take action. He could simply unleash the Emperor's Frost Heaven and turn the entire army of 300,000 into lifelike ice sculptures.

The result was very good; none of these people caused trouble, and the five thousand men escorted the three hundred thousand-strong army back to Wuhun City in a grand procession.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Bibi Dong led millions of people to Wuhun City.

Although there are many people in Wuhun City now, don't forget that the power of Wuhun Hall is not just limited to Wuhun City.

Millions of people may seem like a lot, but a large county town is sufficient to accommodate them.

On the other side, Dai Hao and other members of the royal family, along with court officials and people from the Netherworld, suddenly appeared in a mountain range.

Along with them came the evil spirit masters of the Holy Church.

Using the Holy Church's special magic array, they leaped through space and arrived at this primeval mountain range. This was a special place created by the Rakshasa God, connecting the City of Slaughter with the Holy Church.

Even among evil spirit masters, only a few can use this spatial array.

"Damn it, what kind of weapon is the Spirit Hall using? How can it be so powerful?"

In a fit of rage, Dai Hao smashed an ancient tree, so large that it would take three people to encircle it, in half with a single punch. The tree fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Just then, a scarlet figure appeared on the spot. The person looked very weak and said, "Damn it, a mere level 97 has managed to injure me so badly."

"Master."

The evil spirit masters were overjoyed; their leader was alright, which gave them a sense of security.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to notify the returning reinforcements as soon as possible and have them meet at Gengxin City," said Duke Youming.

"late."

Duke Youming frowned slightly, but upon seeing that it was Hell Douluo who spoke, he relaxed again and respectfully asked, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?"

"Your 300,000-strong reinforcement army has been completely captured by the Spirit Hall."

"What? How is that possible? That's 300,000 people! Even 300,000 pigs couldn't be defeated so quickly!!"

Dai Hao's eyes widened in anger; he refused to believe it.

Hell Douluo's gaze turned cold. "I wouldn't stoop so low as to lie to you about something like this."

Upon seeing this, Duke Youming quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty would never lie to us. But how did Your Majesty know about this? You must know that you were taken away by the divine sword."

"I have my own way. In short, not only the 300,000 troops, but also millions of commoners have been abducted by the Spirit Hall."

"What!!"

Dai Hao's eyes widened, and he quickly asked, "What about Xingluo City? How is Xingluo City?"

"Heh, you're still thinking about your Star Luo City." Hell Douluo sneered, "You just lost an army of 300,000 men, and the Duchy of Hadrian is probably not safe anymore. Once you lose the Duchy of Hadrian, the Spirit Hall can attack Star Luo City whenever it wants. Star Luo City is no longer safe."

Duke Youming advised, "Your Majesty, the people outside the city have all been captured. If we return, it will be nothing but an empty city. For now, we can only move the capital temporarily."

Dai Hao closed his eyes and gasped for breath. Although he was unwilling, he could only nod. Hell Douluo was right. If Hadrian's Duchy was lost, then Star Luo City, which was left empty, would undoubtedly be completely exposed to the Spirit Hall's army. If Star Luo City continued to govern, it would undoubtedly be walking down the road of repeating today's mistakes.

"Very well, in the opinion of my esteemed ministers, where should we establish our capital?"

"Antonio City".

Hell Douluo calmly uttered five words.

"Why?" Dai Hao asked.

"That place is very close to the City of Slaughter. To the north, it is protected by the Carsas Mountains, the Cataclysm Mountains, and the Cataclysm Mountains. To the east is the Forging God Mountains. To the south, across the Dragon Blood River, lies the City of Slaughter. It is currently the most advantageous city to confront the Spirit Hall, and it is also the richest city in the vicinity."

“Your Majesty, it’s not just that. Antonio City is the main rear logistics base for the war against the Heaven Dou Empire. The mountains to the north are heavily fortified, and the same is true to the east. Even if the Spirit Hall wanted to attack, it wouldn’t be easy.”

The speaker was a minister who was in charge of studying the empire's terrain.

"Your Majesty, let's do it here," Zhu Tiancai also advised.

Dai Hao stared at the map in deep thought for a long time before finally nodding.

"If that's the case, then let's move the capital to Antonio City, and from then on, Antonio City will be renamed Xingluo City, while the original Xingluo City will be renamed the Old Capital."
