Chapter 306: Frozen River in July

Chapter 306: Frozen River in July
The inner hall fell silent for a moment. Just as Dai Tianyu believed in the herald, Dai Qianyuan also believed in Dai Tianyu. As an emperor, he would never fool him with such things.

After a long time, Dai Qianyuan sighed solemnly.

"Whether it was accidental or man-made, we don't have time to dwell on it now. I'm going to Xilan River first. You guys quickly gather more troops."

"Ancestor, I have already sent people to mobilize the garrisons of Dadagar and Donghamor, and all the imperial guards of Xingluo City have also been transferred there."

"Well, the situation is urgent. I will leave first. You should think of some countermeasures on your own. These troops alone are definitely not enough."

"Yes, thank you ancestor."

Dai Tianyu and Zhu Xianwei both breathed a sigh of relief and their expressions eased a lot when they heard that the ancestor agreed to take action, but the situation was not yet under control and they did not dare to be careless.

He quickly sent someone to summon several generals to the hall.

"The troops near Xingluo City alone will not be able to completely resist the beast tide. You should set off immediately and go to the Kingdom of Nili and the Principality of Eureka to draw troops back to Xingluo City."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two generals set out immediately after receiving the order and rushed to some vassal states farther away from Xingluo City, while Dai Tianyu still had a frown on his face, tapping the armrests of the throne with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

The queen obviously understood what her husband was struggling with, and consoled him:
"Your Majesty, the border cities can at most be temporarily recaptured by Xue Qinghe. He has just ascended the throne and his foothold is not stable yet, so he dare not easily invade the border of our Xingluo Empire. It is better to withdraw the large number of garrisons there as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, the fall of Xingluo City is not something that can be compared to a few border cities."

Dai Tianyu certainly understood this logic, but it was really uncomfortable for him to spit out the meat he had just eaten.

But after listening to his wife's advice, Dai Tianyu gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement, then ordered the remaining generals:

"You guys should rush to Ahakuwa and Fullerton to withdraw the garrisons there. Move quickly. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The remaining generals dispersed one after another, and Dai Tianyu and the queen were the only ones left in the hall again.

"Now it's time to do our best and leave the rest to fate. Don't let me know who started this beast tide, or I won't let him off."

Just as the Xingluo Patriarch said, Dai Tianyu also confirmed that this beast tide was man-made, otherwise so many ten thousand year old soul beasts would not be able to gather together.

But when he thought that the enemy was a being that could mobilize a large army of soul beasts, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Based on the other party's methods, what could he do to him? When did he offend such a being?

Ning Bei: You didn’t offend me, but you offended my wife!
On the other side, Ning Bei headed westward, spreading the elixir fragrance along nearly a thousand kilometers along the way, until a river nearly a thousand meters wide stopped him.

"Hmm? There is such a wide river in the inland of Xingluo?"

Ning Bei took out the star map from his arms, glanced at it and found this eye-catching river, and suddenly he understood.

"So this is the Xilan River, the mother river of Xingluo."

Looking at the calm river, Ning Bei understood that this was also the origin of the river's name. After thinking for a moment, he also guessed Dai Tianyu's intention.

After such a long time, the news of the beast tide must have reached the other party's ears, but he did not find any trace of the army along the way. This shows that the other party has determined that this beast tide is not something the army can resist, so they want to rely on the natural barrier of the Xilan River to block the soul beast troops.

Thinking of this, Ning Bei's mouth curled up into a wicked smile.

"It's a good idea, but it happened to me. Don't even think about it next time."

Then, Ning Bei slowly walked to the river and reached into the water with one hand. "Ice Age!"

"Crack" "Crack" As Ning Bei's voice fell, the Xilan River in front of him froze at a terrifying speed. Within a few dozen seconds, a three-kilometer-wide ice road ran through the entire Xilan River and reached the other side.

Ning Bei stood up and clapped his hands, his eyes full of pride.

"Ningda pioneers the way, builds roads through mountains and bridges over rivers, and everything is done."

"It's up to General Qiu'er now."

Then, Ning Bei bypassed Xingluo City and rushed towards the border of Tiandou, wanting to see if the garrison there had received the order to retreat, so as to notify Qian Renxue to send troops to prepare to break through Xingluo.

The next day, the third and fourth royal priests Dai Tianming and Dai Tiange, who had assembled nearly 100,000 troops from the Xingluo imperial capital and the nearest city Dadagar, rushed to their destination in a hurry.

The two of them looked at the ice surface that stretched for miles in front of them with a look of confusion on their faces.

Dai Tiange looked at the thin clothes he was wearing, then looked up at the scorching sun in the July sky, and then rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Third brother, it's summer now, right? This, this, this, this..."

Dai Tiange's trembling fingers showed the unrest in his heart. The Xilan River, which had never frozen in the cold winter, had now turned into a thick layer of ice in this hot summer season.

Dai Tianming's face was very gloomy, and he ignored the words of the fourth priest Dai Tiange. He had the same idea as Xingluo Patriarch and Dai Tianyu from the beginning, believing that this beast tide was man-made. Now, looking at this obviously unreasonable ice surface, he was even more convinced of this idea.

"Damn it! He was able to make such adequate preparations in the heart of Xingluo."

Compared to Dai Tianming's cleverness, Dai Tiange's brain was obviously not so sharp. After listening to the other party's gnashing of teeth and muttering to himself, he looked at him in confusion.

"Old Third, what are you talking about? I'm asking you why the Xilan River is frozen in the middle of summer."

"Nonsense, of course someone did it on purpose! Otherwise, do you think God is so bored that he wants to make things difficult for us Xingluo?"

"Ah! Impossible? Who has the ability to mobilize a tide of tens of thousands of soul beasts?"

Dai Tianming was speechless and choked. He really didn't want to pay attention to this idiot. He jumped onto the ice and felt the thickness of the ice. After frowning slightly, he used his soul power with his right foot to stompush hard on the ice.

"boom"

A dull bombardment sound was heard, but the thick layer of ice remained motionless. Dai Tianming's expression became even uglier.

"Old Three, what are you doing? Is it time to play with ice now?"

"I'm kidding you. If you don't break the ice, are you going to use your face to catch the beasts? Can you use your brain?"

Dai Tianming roared angrily at the four priests behind him, and his heart sank to the bottom. With his level 85 Soul Douluo cultivation, he couldn't do anything about the ice layer. The strength of the hidden enemy could be imagined.

"Ah? Then. Then. Let's quickly break the ice."

"Come on, come on."

Dai Tianming pointed at the ice surface unhappily and said, "If it can be broken, would you need to say anything?"

Upon hearing this, even though Dai Tiange was slow to react, he understood that there was something fishy about the ice. Unconvinced, he jumped onto the ice and stomped his feet like Dai Tianming had just done.
