—------------------—
The imperial capital of Moonlight Empire, Yueyao City.
At this time, the interior of the palace had been transformed into a war command center. The spacious hall was filled with the empire's generals, high-ranking officials, as well as a group of powerful soul masters and soul instructors.
Kong Sili, the current emperor of Moonlight Empire, sat in the first seat, his face looking so ugly that it seemed as if water was about to drip out. He had always been resolute, even when he was fighting openly and secretly with several brothers for the throne, facing the current situation, a trace of dejection appeared in his eyes.
Since Xu Yunxiao ascended the throne, under his leadership, the Sun-Moon Empire has developed rapidly in the past few decades, and its current strength has exceeded his expectations. In just three years, he has conquered most of the territory of the Moon Empire and is now about to arrive at the gates of the imperial capital.
The seven defensive fortresses around Yueyao City are now surrounded by the Sun-Moon Empire's large army, and the country's destruction is imminent.
Glancing around at everyone in the hall, Kong Sili discovered that each of their faces looked extremely ugly, their eyes confused and desperate.
"General, can Yueyao City still be defended?" Kong Sili said in a hoarse voice, looking at the white-haired old man standing at the head of the crowd below.
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the meeting hall seemed to be stagnant and extremely heavy.
As the number one military officer of the Moonlight Empire, Zeng Yanlin has led the Moonlight Empire's army in fighting against the Sun-Moon Empire for many years. He knows the horror of the Sun-Moon Empire better than anyone else.
Now he was facing a dangerous situation with ambushes from all sides. Facing Kong Sili's questions, he opened his mouth several times but couldn't say a word that had a chance of winning.
Seeing this, Kong Sili's last shred of hope was shattered. He closed his eyes in pain, and after ten breaths, he suddenly opened them. His eyes were now red and bloodshot. He drew the Emperor's Sword from his waist, a symbol of the emperor's authority, and said in a deep voice, "It's all my fault. Today, the country is in danger of collapse. How can I face my ancestors?"
"My lords, when the nest is overturned, no one will be left unharmed. I implore you to join me in this, working together with all your might, and defending our country to the death."
"I wish to live and die with Your Majesty!"
"I wish to live and die with Your Majesty!"
"I wish to live and die with Your Majesty!"
All of a sudden, all the ministers in the hall bowed suddenly, their roars filled with determination.
"Boom!!!"
The next second, an earth-shaking sound came from afar, shaking everyone's heart.
"The Sun-Moon Empire... has begun its attack..."
At this time, the northwest defense line was a hundred miles away from Yueyao City, the capital of the Moonlight Empire.
A ball of incandescent light continued to shine at the location of a huge military fortress in the distance.
This ball of light is semicircular and slowly spreads outward.
The light is extremely dazzling, giving people the illusion that the sun has descended to the earth. Most people simply cannot stand it and cannot help but look away after taking a look.
For example, the taxi soldiers guarding the northwest defense line of Yueyao City are also within the range of the light ball.
The eyes of these soldiers were filled with despair. Before they could react, they were completely annihilated in the ball of light.
The next moment, the earth trembled slightly, and then the steel defense line that the Moonlight Empire had painstakingly built with massive resources was shattered and melted in this ball of light. A roar like muffled thunder rolled in and continued.
Even Yueyao City, which was a hundred miles away, and the other five defense lines farther away, began to tremble violently.
The roar continued to be heard from the ground beneath his feet. Although it was not as terrifying as the initial sound that changed the color of the sky and the earth, it was extremely dense.
After more than half a year of preparation, the Sun-Moon Empire could no longer hold back and, under Xu Yunxiao's orders, took action against the last city of the Moonlight Empire.
The war of unification has begun!
Sun and Moon Empire Military Camp.
The huge tent was located in the center of the military camp. Unlike the tents in other camps, this big tent was made entirely of tanned cowhide and was dark red in color, as if it had been stained with blood.
Although it is daytime now, it is already autumn and the sky is always gloomy and dim.
But around this big tent, the lights were bright.
In the center of the tent, Xu Yunxiao sat with his head held high in the center, and below him sat in two rows the top generals of the Sun and Moon Empire.
One of the figures stood out even among the crowd.
It was a slender figure, her red armor perfectly outlining the graceful curves of her body. A rose-red cloak was draped behind her, and on the chest of the armor was a red phoenix pattern with its wings spread out, as if it was flying high.
Her beautiful face is extremely charming. Set against the backdrop of gorgeous armor and cloak, she looks heroic yet elegant and luxurious.
The generals inside looked at the figure with no evil thoughts in their eyes, only deep respect, because she was Xu Tianyang's mother, the current Crown Princess of the Sun-Moon Empire and the future Empress of the Sun-Moon Empire, Mu Mengyu.
However, here she only has one identity, the leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Guidance Group.
At this moment, a fiery red figure suddenly appeared in the tent. The person was an old woman about fifty years old, with long hair piled high, and a rare gleam of light in her red eyes.
She is the deputy leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Guidance Corps. Her strength is second only to Mu Mengyu in the Fire Phoenix Soul Guidance Corps.
The seventy-ninth-level Soul Saint is only one step away from becoming a Soul Douluo.
"Qinghui, what's the situation?" Seeing the person coming, Xu Yunxiao looked serious and asked in a solemn tone.
Qinghui said solemnly, "Your Highness, the seven fortresses surrounding Yueyao City have been breached by our army in the northwest, northeast, and east. Yueyao City is now exposed to our army. We can march straight into the imperial capital at any time."
"good!"
"Hahaha, we won, our Sun-Moon Empire won!"
"Your Highness, victory is at hand. Give the order!"
"Your Highness, give the order!"
"Your Highness!"
"Pass on my military orders! Move out and surround Yueyao City. Everyone, victory in this war is at hand. We are about to complete the great cause of unifying the continent for eternity. Your names will go down in history. Let us end this as soon as possible."
After hearing that the fortress had been breached, even the cunning Xu Yunxiao couldn't help but wave his fist excitedly, and everyone burst into excited laughter.
Then, facing the excited expressions of the crowd, he spoke passionately.
"We obey your command!" Everyone stood up in unison and shouted excitedly, then left quickly one by one, mobilized their troops and set off the army.
...
Yueyao City.
At this time, the towering hundred-meter-high city walls were filled with soul guides of various levels. The last army of the Moonlight Empire filled the city walls. They held their weapons tightly and looked at the sky with nervous expressions.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
There was a horrible sound, like a dragon turning over.
In the gray sky, a long black snake quickly appeared in the distant horizon and slowly walked towards Yueyao City.
In the sky of the long snake, there are thousands of figures, deep purple, dark gold, fiery red and other colors mixed together, yet appear clearly distinct.
They are the five soul guide groups that protect the country of the Sun and Moon Empire, and there are also various elite soul guide groups.
"roar!"
An excited dragon roar exploded in the sky, and a giant purple dragon with astonishing power appeared out of nowhere. The dragon was over a hundred meters long. Xu Yunxiao stood proudly at the dragon's head. His majestic voice also covered the world like a brilliant light as his cultivation level increased.
"Subjects of the Moonlit Empire, the continent has been in conflict for a long time. I have been entrusted with the mandate of heaven to unify the continent. Anyone who surrenders will become my subject from today on, my Sun and Moon people."
"I am the Crown Prince of the Sun-Moon Empire, and I shall protect the people of Sun-Moon."
Looking at the majestic Xu Yunxiao, the countless ferocious soul guides around him, and the army that was eyeing them covetously, the taxi soldiers on the city wall were filled with fear. For a moment, their morale suddenly fell to the bottom, and they no longer had the slightest desire to fight.
Many of the ministers and powerful men in high positions lowered their heads, making it impossible to tell what they were thinking.
Kong Sili stood on the city wall, not daring to look back at their expressions. He stared in shock at Xu Yunxiao, who was standing on top of Zihuang Mietianlong, and whispered in disbelief, "Level 90, the realm of Titled Douluo..."
