Chapter 23 Soul beasts invade Tiandou, Emperor Xue Ye is shocked!
On the third day, Xu Can led the soul beasts to capture the northern border of the Tiandou Empire.

In the city of Tiandou, the soldiers who delivered the message galloped their horses and rushed into the city almost by force.

"Wait! Who are you? Stop!"

The soldiers guarding the city entrance vigilantly picked up their weapons.

"Get out of the way! Military information from the northern border is extremely urgent!"

The man quickly rolled off his horse, holding the token of the Northern Frontier Army in his hand. The horse suddenly stopped and he fell straight to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Before this, three good horses had already died from running!

"Open the city gate!"

When the captain of the guard saw the token, he realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately ordered his men to open the city gate.

"Give me a horse!"

The visitor did not have time to rest for a moment. He immediately asked the guard for a horse and rode straight to the palace.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

In Tiandou City, he rushed all the way.

Even when meeting dignitaries, they would ignore etiquette and just walk on the road.

……

royal palace.

Peacefulness.

Emperor Xueye is entertaining his ministers.

"Report!"

A dusty soldier rushed in, disrupting the originally elegant and quiet banquet and scaring some women who were dancing.

"Northern Frontier War Report! Your Majesty the Emperor! Northern Frontier has fallen!"

The soldier's eyes were filled with tears. He had gone through a dangerous journey, dodged the pursuit of soul beasts, and finally arrived in Tiandou City.

The urgency of the battle situation made him dare not relax at all. Now he has finally completed his mission and came to Tiandou City to report hurriedly.

"what!"

When the news came out, everyone present was shocked.

The ministers began to discuss the matter, and Emperor Xue Ye also frowned.

"What's happening here?"

"Could it be that the Xing Luo Empire is attacking us?"

"How is this possible! To capture the northern border, at least a hundred thousand troops are needed. It is impossible for such a large force to not reveal the slightest bit of information! Unless they came from the far north!"

"This is even more impossible! The environment in the Far North is harsh. If the soldiers were wearing armor, most of them would probably freeze to death! They wouldn't be able to maintain strong combat effectiveness! How could the Xing Luo Empire be so stupid?"

"What's going on? Apart from the Xing Luo Empire, which other country has such strength?"

The noisy discussions made the reception room a mess.

Emperor Xue Ye frowned and shouted angrily:
"The military intelligence report has not been completed yet! If you have anything to say, shut up!"

Emperor Xue Ye is in a very bad mood now. Tiandou City is located a little to the north.

If the northern border falls and an attack comes directly from the north, I'm afraid even the imperial city will be in danger.

Anxious, he forced himself to calm down and looked at the soldier.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

"Your Majesty... It's not the Xing Luo Empire... It's a soul beast!"

"Soul beast?" Emperor Xue Ye was shocked.

This was something he had never expected!

How dare soul beasts set foot in the human sphere of influence?

Aren’t you afraid of the seven major sects?

Aren’t you afraid of the Spirit Hall?
"Tell me in detail!"

"Yes, Your Majesty... the day before yesterday..."

The soldier was out of breath. He had not had any rest for two days. Now he had not even eaten anything, but just drank some water in a hurry.

Now he was at the end of his strength, and his body was feeling unwell, as if he was going to faint at any moment.

"Why can't you even speak clearly?"

Some ministers were still complaining. Emperor Xue Ye glanced over with a cold gaze.

The ministers suddenly fell silent.

Emperor Xue Ye appears to be friendly, but the veteran ministers all know that with the strength of the Tiandou Empire, it is able to contain the powerful Xingluo Empire and has only suffered minor losses until now.

The iron-blooded wrist of Emperor Xue Ye should not be underestimated!
"Someone, give him some water and a piece of bread!"

The soldier drank some water, ate some bread, and rested for a while, and finally recovered.

“Your Majesty! That was an ice dragon that covered the sky and the sun! He brought countless powerful soul beasts with him and directly captured various cities in the northern border at lightning speed!”

"Our resistance is totally useless!"

As the soldier spoke, tears flowed from his eyes.

All his comrades are dead!
I had to ride my horse as fast as I could and rely on luck to rush out and report the intelligence to His Majesty the Emperor.

The ministers were shocked, some were so terrified that they even started talking nonsense.

"How long has it been since soul beasts set foot in the human realm? I never thought that I would encounter such a thing in my lifetime! It's over! We are finished! The Tiandou Empire will become a battlefield for soul beasts and humans to duel! No matter whether we win or lose, our Tiandou Empire will be destroyed!"

"If we lose the Tiandou, we will be destroyed by the soul beasts. If we win, we will suffer heavy losses. How can we fight against the Xingluo Empire that is eyeing us covetously? God has eyes, please protect our Tiandou Empire!"

An elderly minister burst into tears.

Anger rose in Emperor Xue Ye's heart.

It's annoying enough, and there are some idiots causing panic.

He really didn't know what to say.

Emperor Xue Ye said angrily: "The Tiandou Empire has not yet perished! Who are you mourning for?"

Emperor Xue Ye suddenly went berserk, and his usually friendly and peaceful temperament was now filled with rage, like a raging lion.

Those ministers who were in disarray were silent and dared not say a word.

Emperor Xue Ye rubbed his eyebrows.

If some of them were not old officials who stayed behind simply to watch and stabilize the families behind them, he would have kicked all these idiots out long ago.

"Don't panic! Don't lose your composure! Block the news first and don't tell the civilians!"

The truth cannot be hidden from the dignitaries, but it must be concealed from the common people. Even if it cannot be concealed, the common people must be forced to stay.

Otherwise, if there is any emergency at that time and there are no civilians, once the fighting breaks out, even the most basic supplies will be difficult to guarantee!

Emperor Xue Ye no longer cared about the banquet.

He paced impatiently for a while, then announced:

"The banquet is cancelled! The court is going to be held urgently, and all ministers must arrive!"

"Commander Wang, dismiss the ministers first!"

The ministers left the banquet hall under the evacuation of the palace guards.

The Emperor stood alone in the hall for a long time on a snowy night.

He looked up at the sky and murmured, "Such a big thing, the Spirit Hall should have received the news, right?"

……

Outside the court.

The ministers gathered together to discuss.

Now the topic gradually changed direction.

I have begun to doubt the authenticity of the intelligence.

"I say you are also confused. Just a little soldier ran in and told you a piece of news, and you panicked and didn't know what to do. You don't even know whether the news is true or not..."

"Marquis Vick is right. Soul beasts occupy the northern border and invade the human world in one day? It's ridiculous no matter how you look at it!"

"That's true. Damn that soldier for spreading false information!"

"Humph! If it were you, I'd first interrogate the soldier who reported the news and confirm whether it's true or not, then we'd know."

"..."

There was unrest outside the court.

Tiandou Empire.

There are signs of the country's destruction.
