Chapter 1259: The Prince of a Lost Nation

"what?

Only half of the tens of thousands of troops returned."

Emperor Xue Ye stared at His Highness's two relatives in horror.

Prince Xuexing and his only remaining son.

The two of them were kneeling down with deathly faces, maintaining deathly silence.

Anger and fear, confusion and disbelief, were fiercely intertwined in his mind.

He turned to look at Dugu Bo, unable to believe that the situation could deteriorate to such a dire state with him around.

Dugu Bo sighed and shook his head, "Alas, the leader on the opposite side has the same strength as me.

In a short period of time, it was impossible to tell who was the winner between the two of us.

So, in order not to affect other people, we had to fly into the sky and restrain each other.

But unexpectedly, the legion suffered heavy losses in a very short period of time.

At this time, all I can do is continue to contain the enemy's forces and cover the evacuation of the troops."

This had been told to everyone before the war began.

However, the problem was that no one had expected that Tiandou's army would be so fragile. They were defeated just a few minutes after the battle began and had to retreat.

The reason lies not with him, but with the legion below.

Dugu Bo tactfully informed Emperor Xue Ye of this.

Dugu Bo then added: "There is also a magnetic device hidden on the opposite side that can attract metal.

Capable of knocking all the metal equipment on our side to the ground.

The arrows from Zhuge Crossbow were all knocked down by this move. We were unable to suppress the city wall, but the metal bullets they were equipped with, which were propelled out by the explosion of gunpowder, were able to tear our armored soldiers and their armor into pieces.

The former is a special and powerful military soul guide, and the latter is a conventional weapon similar to a crossbow, but with a higher firing rate, power, and distance than a crossbow.

In terms of the number and quality of troops, we definitely have the advantage, but in terms of weapons and equipment, the gap between us is too big.

It was only after the battle that I understood the specific functions of their special equipment.”

Dugu Bo shook his head in regret and explained the main reason for the failure of the war from his own perspective.

"Soul Guidance Device!

Under the throne of Poseidon, he still possesses such advanced weapons and equipment.

The Vast Sea Universe Cover was a soul guide equipment comparable to a divine weapon, and it is surprising that such high-end skills are still being passed down overseas."

Emperor Xue Ye staggered a few steps, retreated and sat on a chair, his expression becoming exactly the same as the two of His Highness's.

He forced himself to calm down and began to think about the consequences of this war.

The spillover of information is the most fatal.

Now, the entire western half of the province had learned of the defeat.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the local top leaders blocked the news immediately, and many people who didn't even know that the province had been occupied were still kept in the dark.

But this is only a temporary measure. As time goes by, the truth will eventually come out.

In addition to this, the drastic reduction in the power of the nobles made it impossible for him to give an explanation to the remaining nobles.

At the same time, the resulting weakening of the overall strength of the nobility will completely disrupt the existing internal balance.

At that time, the sect forces, which already have a relative advantage, will not miss this opportunity and will inevitably counterattack against the aristocratic forces.

By then, even he, a royal family that was loyal to many feudal nobles, would see his power greatly reduced.

Both imply the same result.

Civil unrest.

"Damn it, this group of forces that came out of nowhere actually dared to be so presumptuous.

I will mobilize the frontline troops and generals, gather the strength of the entire country, and destroy this Quan family in one fell swoop."

Emperor Xue Ye angrily pounded the throne, his eyes bloodshot as he uttered shocking words.

"Royal brother, you can't do that, that is our important line of defense against the Wuhun Empire.

If we withdraw them, it means that there will be no one to defend the front line. If the Wuhun Empire invades, we will be unable to resist."

Prince Xuexing panicked and tried to stop Emperor Xueye's atrocities.

But Emperor Xue Ye still maintained his cold rationality at this time.

He said: “If the news continues to spread and spreads across the country, then it will be the most dangerous.

An empire in civil strife, even without them, we would collapse on our own.

Besides, how would they know that we had withdrawn the legion?

Even though the Angel God hasn't investigated for a long time, as long as we destroy the Quan family as quickly as possible, it's not too late. "

In this corrupt situation, Emperor Xue Ye showed his decisive side.

Indeed, in this state, there is no more effective way than this.

"Pass my order to recall the border troops."

The top brass, who knew how to transmit information very quickly, wanted to take advantage of the chaos to do something, but they were completely shocked by Emperor Xue Ye's move.

The most powerful frontier troops returned to the imperial capital to sit in Tiandou and forcibly deter the situation.

Under the deterrence of the border troops, Emperor Xue Ye issued a general call for action.

All nobles must send troops to join this expedition and jointly defeat the invading Quan family.

Among the top leaders of the border corps are the Haotian Sect led by Tang Hao.

Also under its banner are the Shrek Seven Devils, including Tang San.

This group of gifted young geniuses have reached the realms of Soul Sage and Soul Douluo after more than ten years of practice and polishing.

These are all big figures who command a certain area in the army.

Among them, the most special are Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

As a candidate for the royal heir to the destroyed Xing Luo Empire.

As losers in the succession struggle, they should be hunted down by the royal family.

But I don’t know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate, the Xingluo Empire was invaded by the Wuhun Empire and had no time to take care of these royal descendants scattered outside.

In the end, they failed to return to their homeland and could only watch the Star Luo Empire go to destruction.

The two men who vowed to take revenge were taken in by Tiandou and became generals guarding the border.

Now, this group of talented next generation has returned to the imperial capital, ready to join the showdown.

Among them, Tang San learned that the Zhuge Crossbow he brought with him was completely ineffective in this war and failed to play its due effect.

This was not only a huge blow to him personally, but also a huge blow to the sect department he founded, the Tang Sect.

Distrust and suspicion of the Tang Clan's hidden weapons were prevalent within the military.

Some people who were jealous of the huge amount of money that the Tang Sect made took advantage of the situation to add fuel to the fire, and even began to attribute the reason for the defeat to Tang San and Zhuge Liannu.

Tang San, who was pushed to the forefront, was currently thinking about countermeasures in his residence in Tiandou City.

The residence of the Blue Silver Marquis.

Tang San, with long blue hair, was sitting at the desk in his study, thinking about how to improve the Zhuge Crossbow.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard at the door.

"Hubby, I have already found out about the families that spread the rumors. If you give me the military token, I will lead the troops to capture these people right now."

The person who came was Xiao Wu, who was now married.

Xiao Wu, whose cultivation level has long surpassed that of a Soul Saint, has completely eliminated the soul beast aura on her body, making it difficult for outsiders to detect her soul beast identity.

Moreover, even if people knew about it, no one would dare to mess with the Shura God's immediate family members, and no one would dare to anger the Shura God.
