Chapter 245 Sun and Moon War God of War (1)
"How are the people from the three great empires and Shrek Academy?" Xu He slowly walked to the old emperor's bedroom and pushed open the door.
"The people of the three great empires were wiped out in the east because the earth-burrowing soul tool was discovered. Most of them were captured by the Sun Moon Empire, while the others are still hiding in the city. Currently, with Huo Yuhao, Wang Qiu'er, and Senior Sister, there is no immediate danger."
Su Yu understood very well why the current situation was so unfavorable to the three great empires. In the original story, the three great empires basically escaped from the east using earth-burrowing soul tools. It has to be said that the Mingde Hall in the original story was really brainless. The last time Mingde Hall was raided, it still didn't learn its lesson and suffered losses in the same place again and again.
I really don't know if the people at Mingdetang are all idiots, or if the creator god is an idiot?
Upon entering the old emperor's palace, the two guards remained completely unaware. With minimal effort, Su Yu, using the Soul-Capturing Technique and with Elder Yi's assistance, controlled the consciousness of the Soul Saint and Soul Emperor.
"Go ahead, the old emperor is right there. You can ask him anything you want to know."
The old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, seemingly aware of something amiss, glanced at the spot where Su Yu was. As his gaze fell upon the area, a familiar figure slowly approached the old emperor's side.
"Uncle, it's been a long time. Do you still remember me?" Xu He slowly took off the patrol captain's helmet, revealing a face with distinctive features of the Sun and Moon royal family.
The old emperor struggled to open his cloudy eyes, barely managing to sit up, and looked at He Caitou, asking, "You are... my elder brother's son, Xu He?"
"Ask whatever you want. Anyway, the situation is already settled, and nothing can be changed now. Cough cough cough..." The old emperor spoke with great difficulty, as if he would die here at any moment.
"Why did you kill my whole family back then? Weren't my father and you brothers? Was the throne really that important?" Xu He's body trembled slightly. He couldn't believe that the peaceful old man in front of him on his deathbed was the murderer who had launched a palace coup and slaughtered his entire family.
The old emperor struggled to lean against the headboard, panting heavily. "Did you really think your father was a wise emperor?"
"Why not?" Tears welled up in Xu He's eyes.
He didn't understand why things had turned out this way. If it weren't for the person in front of him, he wouldn't have ended up like this, and his family wouldn't have suffered such a fate.
Is the throne really that important?
Father, Mother, Sister...
"Perhaps to the common people at the bottom of the Sun Moon Empire, or, cough cough... to you, your father is a wise ruler, but to the entire Sun Moon Empire, your father is an incompetent, cough cough..."
The old emperor had difficulty speaking, and it took him a long time to pause before uttering each sentence.
"Take this, and I can make your death a little easier." Su Yu knew that the old emperor's condition wouldn't last much longer, and all he could do now was to fulfill Xu He's wish.
The old emperor smiled slightly, did not refuse, and took the pill.
After taking the elixir, an unnatural flush appeared on the old emperor's face. As the medicine took effect, the old emperor's mental state began to improve.
"Your father is an incompetent monarch who only cares about immediate interests. You may think your father is a wise monarch, but don't forget that you are a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire! Eight thousand years ago, our ancestors drifted from overseas with the Sun Moon Continent. When the Douluo Continent collided with the Sun Moon Continent, the three great empires could not allow an empire stronger than themselves to appear in the world, and we could not allow the three great empires to appear beside us."
"War is inevitable. If our ancestors had won eight thousand years ago, we wouldn't have been suppressed by the three great empires for eight thousand years, nor would we have signed countless humiliating treaties. Your father was dedicated to the people's livelihood and always hoped for peace, but do you know? If we give up our powerful military, we will be suppressed by the three great empires forever. One day, we will be jointly suppressed by the three great empires and Shrek Academy, who will seize our soul tool knowledge crystallization and enslave the people of our Sun Moon Empire!"
"Your father didn't die by my hand, but by the ministers in the current court! For the sake of the Sun Moon Empire, I can become the tyrant you call a usurper, but I will absolutely not allow the Sun Moon Empire to voluntarily lay down its weapons and become a lamb to the slaughter! If that were to happen, your father would be the greatest sinner of the Sun Moon Empire!"
The old emperor practically roared as he finished speaking.
"But you can't kill my father! He's your older brother!" Xu He asked painfully.
"If I don't do that, should we wait until we've lost our fighting strength and the armies of the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire, which border us, have invaded our Sun Moon Empire before trying to persuade your father? Foolish! Your father is a short-sighted fellow, and so are you. Why do we go to such lengths to win the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament? Do you really think it's because we care about that so-called glory?"
"It's because we need a victory to revitalize the hopes of everyone in our Sun Moon Empire. If your father were still alive, he would know the predicament of our Sun Moon Empire. So many people have paid the price with their lives for the future of the Sun Moon Empire, and your father only cares about peace and the people's livelihood. Don't you find that ridiculous? You know in your heart why I was able to successfully launch a coup. Don't forget, you are also a member of the Sun Moon Empire! The blood of our Sun Moon Empire's royal family flows in your veins! You were once our Crown Prince!"
You were once the Crown Prince of our Sun Moon Empire!
These words struck Xu He like a hammer blow, causing him unbearable pain.
Why did it end like this...?
Why...
The old emperor looked at Xu He and slowly said, "Whether what I said is true or not, you know better than I do."
"Brother He, are you alright?"
Seeing Xu He's pained expression, Su Yu knew that the truth was often cruel, and that once the truth of many things came to light, everything in the past would completely collapse!
"Cough cough cough..."
A violent coughing fit ensued, and the old emperor could no longer hold on, beginning to vomit large amounts of blood.
"We should go..."
Blood stained the old emperor's palace, just as it had been twenty years ago; everything felt so familiar.
But everything felt so unfamiliar...
…………
"Are you all alright? Where's Su Yu? And He Caitou?" Elder Xuan counted the number of people, only to find that two were missing.
"My brother got separated from us during the evacuation. Su Yu stayed behind to cover our retreat. We tried to stop him, but he went anyway. He said his parents were disciples of the Mirror Red Dust Hall Master, and the Sun Moon Empire wouldn't make things difficult for him." Xiao Xiao's voice was trembling with tears, clearly she didn't believe Su Yu's words.
"Don't worry about them, it's good that you're all alright. It's much easier for Su Yu to evacuate alone compared to the whole group of you." Elder Xuan asked Wang Dong'er, who hadn't spoken, "You know where Su Yu is, right?"
"I, I, I don't know..." Wang Dong'er's eyes darted around, as if she was hiding something.
"If even you don't know, then you probably really don't know where he went. However, based on my understanding of that kid, he definitely instructed you on the evacuation plan. While the people of the Sun Moon Empire haven't discovered us yet, let's talk about Su Yu's plan." Elder Xuan didn't have time to dwell on these issues; he just wanted to know how to evacuate from Mingdu, which was fraught with danger.
"Su Yu said before that we should break out from another place. There is a powerful mental restriction in Xishan, and it is very likely a trap set by the Holy Spirit Cult, so we must not retreat from the direction of Xishan." Bei Bei told Su Yu's instructions.
Elder Xuan frowned slightly. "However, the only weakest point in our defenses right now is West Mountain. If we try to break out from elsewhere, we're very likely to run into the Sun Moon Empire's army head-on! But West Mountain..."
"Elder Xuan, if we really break out of Xishan, wouldn't we have fallen into the Holy Spirit Cult's trap? Wouldn't all the intelligence that Su Yu painstakingly gathered have been wasted?" Wang Qiu'er said at this moment.
"Break out from the north. All the backup plans left by the three great empires in the east have been broken, and even Princess Vina has been captured. The Body Sect has suffered heavy casualties. The defenses in the north are relatively weak now. I suggest you break out from the north."
A familiar voice came from the alley behind them, and upon hearing it, everyone felt as if they had gained a pillar of support.
"He Caitou, are you alright?" Xiao Xiao anxiously reached out her small hand to check Xu He's body.
Xu He was in low spirits, his eyes were dim, and he said in a low voice, "It's nothing, it's just that my soul power was used up quite a bit."
"How did you know that?" Elder Xuan looked at Su Yu as if he had seen a ghost. They also got this information from Xu Tianran, but Su Yu had no way of getting into that place.
Su Yu looked at Elder Xuan and said, "We've lost contact with the people of the three great empires, and during my escape, I saw quite a few captured members of the three great empires. The Soul Master armies within the city were also all pleading with Your Majesty to withdraw from Mingdu. This should give you an idea that the three great empires' escape attempt has failed. Elder Xuan, let's go. Mingdu has become a complete prison..."
Just then, a familiar voice rang out, "Shrek members, now that you're here, why the rush to leave?"
These words made Elder Xuan's expression turn solemn. At this moment, Jing Hongchen's voice clearly indicated that they had found the Shrek Seven Devils' trail.
"Walk!"
Without any hesitation, Elder Xuan immediately activated his Martial Soul and blocked the attack of the Soul Master army led by Jing Hongchen from the rear.
The Martial Soul True Form of the Gluttonous Divine Ox stood behind the Shrek Academy members, blocking wave after wave of attacks for them.
"Elder Xuan, hurry! We've placed a large number of soul-guided bombs and high-explosive bombs around the palace. A sudden explosion should be able to hold them off for a while."
Huo Yuhao urged the group on. Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan realized Huo Yuhao's plan and immediately withdrew his Martial Soul True Body, disappearing from Jing Hongchen and the others' sight.
"Continue the pursuit!"
Boom!
Boom!
The violent explosion triggered a chain reaction, erupting throughout the city, with intense explosions sweeping out around the Sun and Moon Palace.
The earth trembled slightly, the air was filled with the scorching smell of explosions, and shockwaves swept around the Sun and Moon Palace.
Earth and rocks flew everywhere, many buildings collapsed, and countless fragments rose into the air.
Fortunately, the area affected was only a few kilometers, and the series of explosions only occurred around the Sun Moon Palace.
Elder Xuan looked at Huo Yuhao and He Caitou, "Just how many bombs have you planted?"
"There's not much, it's just a feint. Now that the Sun and Moon Palace has been bombed, it's about time we evacuated."
Upon hearing that there weren't many, Elder Xuan realized the situation was critical and that they no longer had time to hesitate.
However, in the next instant, the violent explosion came to an abrupt halt, and the towering flames vanished in an instant.
This scene left all the Shrek Academy students dumbfounded.
Impossible. Those soul-guided bombs were prepared by them for a long time. They even modified the soul-guided devices from the defeated city defense troops and the soul-guided shells from the hidden armories nearby. It's impossible that they only had such a small amount of power.
Logically, there should have been at least thirty more explosions, but all the explosions suddenly stopped, as if they had been cut off out of thin air!
Have their opportunities been exposed?
A gigantic figure, over forty meters tall, slowly rose from behind them, its terrifying aura like that of a demon god, oppressing everyone.
That was a gigantic humanoid soul tool!
"Shrek people, do you think you can cause chaos with just a few soul-guided bombs? Since you like fighting so much, I'll play along to the end!"
A colossal humanoid soul tool spewed blue flames from its back. It resembled a war machine, equipped with melee soul-guided greatswords on its arms and terrifyingly large cannons.
On the chest of that soul-guided giant was a red core, which was covered by thick armor, and on its shoulders were two huge soul-guided annihilation cannons.
Behind it were a pair of blood-red wings, and within the wings, several Soul-Flying Warheads were faintly visible.
This soul-guided giant was entirely red and black, and its seemingly bulky body was surprisingly agile during the pursuit.
"Keep the pursuit! Don't let them get away!"
A familiar voice came from the soul-guided mech. When Elder Xuan saw that scene, he fully realized what a crisis was.
The three great empires have no way out, and even if they have many more titled Douluo, they have no way out!
Heavily in debt and the "forever" series.
I'll say it three times: Keep reading! Keep reading! Keep reading!
