Chapter 1029 Zhongli Wu Has Gone Mad
If Zhongliwu used to give people the feeling of mystery and darkness, now he is flamboyant and dark?
Xu Tianran dared not be careless about Zhongli Wu's sudden change in personality.
The Holy Spirit Cult is a double-edged sword; if not handled properly, it can backfire.
"Fortunately, Xie Feng is dead, and the Holy Spirit Cult has lost a powerful fighter!" Xu Tianran thought to himself.
But on the surface, he still wore a gentle smile.
"Excellent! The Grand Preceptor's actions are a service to the Empire! The Holy Church truly lives up to its reputation as the state religion!"
Zhongli Wu bowed deeply. "As long as Your Majesty requires it, the followers of the Holy Church are ready to go through fire and water for Your Majesty!"
The harmonious relationship between the emperor and his ministers was perceived by the assembled officials as two venomous snakes lurking in the court, waiting for their fatal moment.
They both harbor deadly fangs, waiting for their chance.
Xu Tianran naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to utilize the Holy Spirit Cult. He immediately appointed the Holy Spirit Cult members as three special forces, responsible for coordinating and supporting combat operations, and ultimately ordered them to be under the command of the Grand Commander of the Protectorate.
A fervent glint flashed in Zhongli Wu's eyes as he volunteered, "Your Majesty, please allow me to lead the vanguard in attacking Xingluo!"
Attack Xingluo!
As the four bloody characters fell, all the ministers couldn't help but shudder.
Zhongli Wu's icy tone made them feel as if they were in an ice cellar.
"Excellent, the Imperial Advisor is very motivated, I am very pleased."
Xu Tianran gave a word of praise.
My doubts only grew stronger.
Zhongli Wu had clearly resisted the Holy Spirit Church serving as its vanguard before, so why is he bringing it up now?
And he himself had once served as the vanguard?
Does this person also have a grudge against Xingluo?
Just then, a shadow guard entered the hall, knelt down, and reported, "Your Majesty, the Grand Commander has returned!"
Xu Tianran waved his hand, signaling Zhongli Wu to step back and that the matter would be discussed later.
"Commander of Xuanda".
Orange slowly walked into the main hall, her soul-guided armor still bearing traces of artillery fire and blackened, dried blood.
"Your Majesty, I was in a hurry on my journey, please forgive my rudeness before the palace!" Ju Zi said loudly.
Xu Tianran waved his hand, leaned back on the dragon throne, and supported his head with one fist, looking lazy and indifferent.
Although both men had made mistakes, none of the ministers dared to bring them up.
One can look you in the head on the spot, and the other can ransack your house afterwards. Neither of them is someone you can afford to offend.
"What crime have you committed, my dear minister? Traveling thousands of miles with only the mission in mind, you are truly my trusted advisor!" Xu Tianran praised.
Because oranges are indeed a good knife in his hands, and an obedient one at that.
The courtiers immediately joined in the praise.
There's still one more rule for survival in the imperial court.
Disrespecting the emperor could very well lead to death!
Especially when facing a tyrant!
On her way here, Ju Zi had already written a brief report on this mission and had the Shadow Guard present it to him.
After Xu Tianran declared war, large-scale outbreaks occurred in various places.
In addition, the Hunter Team exerted too much force during the ambush on Shrek Academy, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of soldiers in the Guardians of the Nation.
Although most of them suffered minor injuries and survived, they still had to spend a considerable amount of time in the hospital.
Moreover, she had just learned that Xu Tianran had also taken a squadron of the Guardian of the Nation to the "Death Zone" in Xishan.
Now, the casualties among the soldiers are truly quite high.
A regiment at most has 5,000 elite soldiers, and they are the elite of the elite.
With such a huge loss at once, how can we make up for it in such a short time?
It also takes time to mobilize troops from various regions.
Xu Tianran glanced quickly at the memorial presented by Ju Zi. In fact, the Shadow Guard had already informed him of the results of the mission. He was just putting on an act and then praising it a few times.
"Draw troops to replenish the forces protecting the nation. I intend to wage the first war against Xingluo. The Grand Preceptor will lead the Holy Sect as the first army. Ju Zi, you will lead the second army to provide support. The third army will be against Tianhun, led by Xu Qingfeng." Xu Tianran issued the order.
Orange frowned slightly. The Holy Spirit Cult was actually going to be the vanguard?
The plan has changed.
"Your Majesty, since the Grand Preceptor is personally leading the main force, wouldn't it be more appropriate for me to lead the vanguard and provide cover for the Grand Preceptor?" Orange wanted to try and see if she could get the vanguard position back.
"Hehehe, no need for the Grand Commander to worry about that. The followers of the Holy Church are fearless of death! We will be the sharpest blade striking the Star Luo Empire!"
Zhongli Wu laughed loudly, and suddenly a terrifying killing intent erupted from his body.
The ministers felt as if they were facing death itself, with the cold scythe of death already at their necks!
Some of the less powerful ministers even rolled their eyes, foamed at the mouth, and fainted.
Orange's eyes were icy, and her left hand instantly gripped the blooming rose, with a faint red light protecting her.
"presumptuous!"
A deep, aged shout rang out.
Xue Chen appeared in front of Xu Tianran in an instant, his hands gathering in the shadow.
Several secret guards appeared in various parts of the court, each of them exuding an aura that hinted at the level of a Title Douluo.
Zhongli Wu suppressed his smile and withdrew his murderous aura.
"Your Majesty, I apologize, but please punish me for my great disrespect!"
Xu Tianran glanced at Zhongli Wu for two seconds, then suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "What crime has the Imperial Advisor committed?"
"By leading from the front and setting an example, the National Preceptor's presence on the front lines has greatly boosted the morale of our army!"
"Then I'll leave it to the Imperial Preceptor."
After Xu Tianran finished speaking, he glanced at the orange.
Ju Zi knew that Xu Tianran had made a decision, and she was hinting at it to herself.
However, Zhongli Wu became the vanguard, disrupting Ye Nanxiao's plans.
The orange hesitated for a moment before falling into Zhongli Wu's eyes.
"Is the Commander afraid that I will steal the credit?" Zhongli Wu said with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
A faint killing intent resurfaced.
Standing next to Xu Tianran, Xue Chen stared at Zhongli Wu with considerable apprehension.
He had a premonition that if Zhongli Wu suddenly attacked, he would not last a quarter of an hour, and might even die within a few moves!
A cold glint flashed in Xu Tianran's eyes, and his right fist clenched involuntarily.
The orange represents him; is Zhongli Wu's blatant disrespect a declaration of his dominance?
Orange's mind raced, and in the blink of an eye, she had come up with a solution.
"Grand Preceptor, I don't need credit. I just need to ensure the plan is implemented smoothly. But if something unexpected happens and the plan goes wrong, the Guardian's Hand will not stop." Ju Zi said with a smile, her eyes concealing a sharp edge.
The latest novel is first published here!
Everyone present knew that the plan Ju Zi was talking about was Xu Tianran's grand scheme to unify the world.
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran's tense expression eased slightly.
Indeed, my dagger is quite impressive!
The ministers who were still able to stand looked at the orange with admiration.
This not only stopped Zhongliwu's arrogance but also restored face for their Sun and Moon Dynasty.
Zhongli Wu shook his head slightly, his smile containing a hint of murderous intent and madness. "Rest assured, Grand Commander, my Holy Sect is also working for His Majesty's grand plan of unification! Nothing will happen that would harm the interests of the Empire."
"However, I have heard that the Commander-in-Chief has a grudge against the White Tiger Duke? Rest assured, I will capture the White Tiger Duke as an apology to the Commander-in-Chief! I hope the Commander-in-Chief will remain calm as a general."
The implication is that since your national teacher has taken your target, you can't act impulsively or sabotage him behind his back.
If anything happens to the vanguard, the first person to be held accountable will be you, the commander-in-chief!
Ju Zi, holding a high position, would not be intimidated by Zhong Liwu's petty tricks.
"The Grand Preceptor is right. The Guardians will fulfill their duties and act strictly according to the plan."
Xu Tianran was very satisfied with Ju Zi's attitude, as she kept talking about his plan, and immediately ended the verbal exchange between the two.
"In that case, the Grand Preceptor will be the vanguard, leading the vanguard legion. Ju Zi, you will lead the Guardian Army, assisting the Grand Preceptor when necessary. Everything is for the sake of victory, understand?"
Ju Zi bowed and accepted the order, while Zhong Li Wu nodded slightly.
The two of them could easily tell that Xu Tianran was trying to smooth things over.
Xu Tianran had no idea that the plan the two were talking about had absolutely nothing to do with him.
Should we offer assistance if necessary?
If necessary, exterminate them completely.
Xu Tianran issued a series of orders.
The massive machine of the empire began to operate rapidly.
The guardians of the nation were ready to go, and teams set off from the capital, heading straight for the border.
However, within the Sun Moon Empire, the majority of the population was unwilling to go to war.
Their anti-war sentiment surged, and they marched in large groups on the main streets of major cities to protest.
They know history and how brutal the continental war ten thousand years ago was.
The battle shattered the sky and cracked the earth; the black smoke from the artillery fire obscured the sunlight, plunging the world into darkness.
Even the soil of the earth was stained almost black with blood.
These anti-war voices were all directly suppressed by Xu Tianran.
If the people don't support him, then he doesn't need them.
Large numbers of city defense troops set up outposts on the streets, holding soul-guided ray guns and coldly watching the city.
Passersby hurried along, heads down, afraid that their eyes would meet those of the city's defense forces, and that they would be mistaken for radical protesters and imprisoned in the city jail.
Every city located at a key transportation hub of the Sun and Moon Empire was shrouded in a somber atmosphere.
Mingdu, once the most vibrant city and the heart of the Sun Moon Empire, has fallen into an inexplicable silence.
The streets were still crowded with people, but there was no noise.
Orange walked down the street, carrying a sealed bag of fried chicken.
Shadow Cow and Shadow Rabbit followed behind her.
The two of them kept their eyes on their surroundings.
The outbreak of war caused the prices of food and various soul tools to rise across the board.
Especially for soul tools, the price of various defensive soul tools has more than tripled.
The price of a level 5 soul guide shield is approaching 800,000 gold soul coins.
Madness is the carnival of these soul tool sects.
They exploit the people for their money.
Even with prices soaring to this level, the general public and wealthy merchants are still rushing to buy them, especially the soul tools from the Tang Clan, which are sold out.
Every citizen carries a charged soul tool made by the Tang Sect, because it is their only means of fighting against this world.
No soul power is needed, only physical strength.
Orange's gaze swept over the passersby, noticing the bulging waists and weapons concealed on their backs and chests.
