Half a month later, the armies of the two empires gathered in front of the Tianqian Pass.

Tianqian Pass is located in the territory of the Xingluo Empire. Like Jialing Pass of the original Tiandou Empire, it is an important military fortress. Its importance is self-evident.

This pass is located between mountains and rivers, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. The peaks on both sides are like swords pointing to the sky, and the steep cliffs reach into the clouds.

Tianqian Pass got its name because there is a wide and deep canyon in front and behind it. The water in the canyon flows rapidly and the sound is like thunder, forming an insurmountable natural barrier.

This natural chasm is so deep that even the bravest warriors would be discouraged when faced with such a desperate situation.

Therefore, the Tianqian Pass has been a strategic location that is easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times. Any enemy attempting to advance must first cross this seemingly inconquerable natural barrier.

Throughout history, Tianqian Pass has witnessed the glory and honor of the Xingluo Empire many times.

The natural pass became an excellent springboard for them to attack or defend, and made great contributions to the expansion and conquest of the empire.

This time, Tianqian Pass became an important line of defense for the Xingluo Empire against the attack of the Wuhun Empire.

Once the Tianqian Pass is breached, the Wuhun Empire will be able to smoothly enter the plain area behind the mountains and then go deep into the heart of the Xingluo Empire.

Since ceding half of the land to the Wuhun Empire, Emperor Xingluo has mobilized a large army to garrison here to deal with any crisis that may come at any time.

This time, Emperor Xingluo also came to the front line.

At this time, on the city wall, Tang San and his group stood in awe.

Not far away, the Spirit Empire's Soul Master Corps was surging forward as the vanguard.

Emperor Xing Luo gazed at the Wuhun Empire's soul master army gradually approaching in the distance, and a solemn light flashed in his eyes.

He knew very well that this battle was not only about the survival of the Star Luo Empire.

"Is everyone ready?"

The voice of Emperor Xingluo seemed to be an invisible force, making everyone present feel unprecedented unity and determination.

"Ready!"

Everyone responded in unison, their voices resounding through the sky, as if even the surging water in the canyon was shocked by the momentum, temporarily calming the roar for a moment.

Yu Xiaogang turned around and glanced at the defense line behind him.

The soldiers were on full alert, archers, heavy infantry, cavalry... each type of soldier performed their duties and formed an indestructible line of defense.

At the forefront of this line of defense is the most elite soul master force of the Xing Luo Empire. Among them are many Titled Douluo-level masters who are ready to go.

Before this, Yu Xiaogang had already formulated a strategy with Xingluo Emperor and others. Their current task was to hold on, not to fight a decisive battle.

Take advantage of the geographical advantages of the Tianqian Pass to consume the enemy's manpower to the maximum extent, and then launch a full-scale attack when the enemy is weak.

So, this time they will be prepared for a long battle.

Tang San's gaze penetrated the crowd, and the power of the Purple Demon Pupil was exerted to the extreme at this moment, as if it could see through the smallest details of all things in the world.

In the vast army of soul masters of the Wuhun Empire, several familiar figures gradually became clear, causing ripples in his heart.

The first person who came into view was Yan, the powerful man who had fought with him many times and was famous for his fire-type martial spirit. He was now at the forefront of the soul master army and was in a very aggressive manner.

Next came the empress Qian Renxue, who possessed a noble temperament. The powerful fluctuations of her soul power indicated that she was no longer the same as before.

Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling stand side by side, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Shui Bing'er's ice control and attack ability, Ye Lingling's extremely powerful healing ability, are all rare helpers on the battlefield. In addition, Tang San also discovered those Wuhun Hall's worshippers who had appeared in the Tiandou Palace Incident. They are all unfathomable in strength, and the oppressive feeling they exude is suffocating.

The addition of those priests undoubtedly made the Wuhun Empire's offensive even more difficult to resist.

Tang San also unexpectedly saw several opponents he had fought against in the Soul Master Competition.

Among them are Feng Xiaotian, a wind-type soul master famous for his self-created soul skill "Swift Wind Demon Wolf Slash", and the fire-type soul masters Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, a brother and sister.

Tang San knew that this was the most difficult challenge he had ever faced in his life.

However, he was fortunate that the Spirit Hall's Pope Bibi Dong and the two elders Ju and Gui were not in the opponent's camp.

Those people from the seven major sects who were re-selected by Bibi Dong were not in the opponent's soul master army.

This proves that Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong are incompatible.

The proud Qian Renxue also disdained to get Bibi Dong's help. She was confident enough that she could take down the Xingluo Empire.

Qian Renxue stood in front of the soul master army, her whole body shining with golden light, like a female war god descending from heaven.

"Soldiers of the Xingluo Empire, listen to me!"

Qian Renxue's voice instantly penetrated the noise of the battlefield, echoing clearly and firmly in front of the natural barrier.

The voice was full of power and carried unquestionable majesty.

"This land you are guarding has witnessed too many wars and sacrifices.

Now, the Wuhun Empire is not here to conquer, we are here to unify, for a stronger and more peaceful continent!
The people of the lands that were once ceded to us now live and work in peace and contentment under the governance of the Wuhun Empire, and their lives are far better than during the war.

I promise that as long as you are willing to lay down your weapons, we will treat you equally and accept you as citizens of the Wuhun Empire, sharing this peace and prosperity. "

Qian Renxue's words were like a gentle spring breeze, quietly seeping into the hearts of the soldiers defending the city.

On the city wall, many soldiers looked hesitant. Many of them had heard about the peaceful life in the Wuhun Empire, and their hearts could not help but waver.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Xingluo frowned.

He was well aware of the importance of this psychological warfare and knew that he had to take action to stabilize the morale of the troops.

He strode forward, his voice resounding throughout the venue:

"Soldiers! Do not believe her sweet words! What we are protecting is not only this land, but also the dignity and glory of the Xing Luo Empire!

The so-called peace of the Wuhun Empire is nothing but a false prosperity built on countless sacrifices!"

Remember, behind us are the millions of people of the Star Luo Empire, our family and friends.

What will happen to them if we give up resistance?

What we have to do is to hold on until the last moment, for our homeland and for our future!"

The words of Emperor Xingluo were passionate and firm, like an invisible force that rekindled the fighting spirit in the hearts of the soldiers.

Qian Renxue saw that Emperor Xingluo's words aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers defending the city, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Since you have chosen to resist, then let us speak with strength."

"Warriors of the Wuhun Empire, for our glory, for the future of this continent, launch an attack!" (End of this chapter)
