Two thousand people can't make any waves on a battlefield where there are often tens of thousands of people between countries.
However, it is completely different if there are two thousand young and middle-aged soul masters.
No country dares to ignore the military strength of two thousand soul masters.
The gap between soul masters and ordinary soldiers is like a chasm.
These two thousand people are all composed of elites from the five families of Li, Min, Po, Yu, and Black Tiger Sect.
It can be said that this is their only combat power.
When they walked out of Black Cloud Valley and stepped onto the spacious official road, the people wandering outside Black Cloud Valley all looked nervous.
These two thousand men were not as uniform as the regular army, and their costumes were at least fifteen different.
Even soul masters from the same family have different attires due to different levels.
Although the formation looks neat, it is still far behind the regular troops.
From a distance, you can see that their long queue is twisted and twisted, and the few high-level disciples of the Black Tiger Sect riding soul beasts make it even more messy.
As the sect leader, Yu Tianyan accepted Hu Pohai's kindness, and his mount was a three-thousand-year-old black tiger whose body was wrapped with golden patterns.
Other titled Douluo also don't have to walk because of the existence of the Black Tiger Sect.
The Black Tiger Sect has had a tradition of raising soul beasts for hundreds of years, and the disciples of the sect never kill the black tigers they raise to use as soul rings.
Therefore, these spirit beasts are not so hostile to humans and are good companions for the disciples of the Black Tiger Sect.
However, due to the disturbance of Hu Qianxing's remnant party, a large number of the soul beasts raised died, and now there are less than eighty black tigers left. The three-thousand-year-old black tiger that Yu Tianyan sits on is already the one with the highest cultivation level.
Due to the large number of people and the huge difference in speed among the various races, they could only slow down their progress.
Set up camp before sunset and continue setting off at dawn.
Each of them only brought thirty days' rations. If the war could not be ended within thirty days, even eating would be a problem.
The slow march also caused their troops to be sent back by the eyes of all the forces in the mainland.
Inside Tiandou Palace
The messenger knight reported about the Holy Word Sect's dispatch of troops and the monstrous flames and soul power fluctuations.
All the princes and ministers fell silent, and no one made any suggestions at this time.
They all understood that the prince was connected with the Holy Word of the Seven Treasures. If His Majesty said nothing, they would just pretend they knew nothing.
Xue Ye was secretly shocked when she heard this. She had long thought that there were more than just three titled Douluo in Holy Word Academy.
Now that they are about to start a war with the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family, as the supreme ruler of the empire, he must consider what the empire can do, what it gains, and what it loses in this war!
This is also what he hopes Prince Xue Qinghe can learn.
His eldest son is good at everything, but many times his methods and decisions are not in the interests of the empire, which is why he insists on sitting in the high position and dare not let go.
Now, he wanted to know the choice of the heir and said loudly, "What does the prince think of this matter?"
All eyes in the palace were focused on Xue Qinghe.
Prince Snowstar and Avalanche are also on the list.
Xue Qinghe thought for a moment and adjusted his posture before speaking: "Father, I think that the current energy of Holy Word Academy is only stronger than that of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family. This war will end with the victory of Holy Word Academy."
Hearing this, most of the princes and ministers present nodded in approval.
However, there are still a few people who feel from the bottom of their hearts that the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, cannot be shaken by an academy that has been established for less than a century.
His judgment was also Xue Ye's inner judgment, but what he wanted to hear was not the result, but what they should do? Should they stand still or join forces with one of them to establish friendly relations.
Seeing that Xue Ye was still staring at him, Xue Qinghe cupped his hands and continued, "I think even if Holy Word Academy can win, it will not be easy, and there is no guarantee that Wuhun Palace will not interfere."
"That's why I thought we didn't need to pay attention to their war. It's very likely that it will turn into a three-way war."
"If our royal family rashly participates, no matter who we help, it will inevitably lead to the practice of the other two parties."
"Such a war may help us make good friends with the Holy Word Academy or the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, but it will definitely break up our relationship with one of them and the Spirit Hall~"
"Therefore, I feel that there is no need for us to participate in this war. No matter what the outcome of the war is, the worst that can happen is that the Wuhun Palace will win~"
The palace fell into a brief silence. Xue Qinghe's words were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and considered everything.
Some veteran ministers looked at him/her with supportive eyes, as if they were looking at the famous monarch they would be loyal to in the future.
Emperor Xueye showed a satisfied smile, waved his hand and said, "That makes sense, just do as the prince said and withdraw from the court~"
He is in a pretty good mood now, and his son's perspective has finally changed.
"Best farewell to Your Majesty~" Everyone in the palace saluted in unison.
As Emperor Xue Ye left, Xue Qinghe walked out of the palace with a cold look hidden in his eyes, surrounded by close ministers.
Xue Xing patted Xue Beng, who had a gloomy face next to him, and said softly, "We can't control this matter. No matter which party it is, it's not easy to mess with~"
Xue Beng gritted his teeth and stared at Xue Qinghe's back, his clenched fists losing their color due to too much force.
Thunder Dragon Nine Peaks
The hills and mountains to the west of Nine Peaks are ten times larger than the nine peaks combined.
It is said that it is a mountainous area, but the distance between each other is as steep as a cliff and the unstable land makes it impossible to build or plant.
Therefore, although the terrain is vast, it is desolate and uninhabitable.
Some special medicinal materials grow here, and usually there are children of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family who come here to collect medicinal herbs to temper their bodies.
In the mountain col not far away, Dugu Bo saw a dozen black-clothed soul masters patrolling.
Looking inside, I saw countless men in black stationed here.
Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo decisively chose to set up the poison array at the location that Yu Tianyan had chosen, but before that he had one more thing to do.
There was a cruel and fierce light in his eyes, and he felt the moisture on the ground and slowly came to a cliff.
There were several men in black fetching water here, but the insidious Dugu Bo didn't bother them, and completely hid himself behind the rocks to block his breath.
After the men in black got water and left Dugu Bo, they slowly walked out.
He reached out and touched it on his waist, and a round gray ammunition the size of a fingernail appeared in his palm.
This was a unique elixir that he and Yang Wudi worked together to refine after more than ten days without eating or drinking.
It can save people from dying and kill people invisibly.
With a flick of his finger, the pill flew into the underground river.
The gray pills turned into powder and dissipated the moment they came into contact with running water.
"Hehe, set up the formation~, this is not much more useful than setting up the formation, hehe~"
He muttered to himself and disappeared in an instant.
Compared to when he poisoned a city in the original time, this time he just poisoned the water, so he was three points more merciful.
His reputation as Dugu Bo is not good on the mainland. He is synonymous with insidiousness and cruelty.
If you don’t pay your debt on May 22nd, you will continue on May 23rd.
