The Extreme Douluo guarding him seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Dai Yueyan, and asked rather puzzledly, "Your Majesty, this extermination operation is successful, why don't you look happy at all?"
Dai Yueyan thought, "I always feel that it's not that simple. The evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Sect have always been despicable and difficult to deal with, and they even use any means to achieve their own goals!"
"Even if our army is huge, they are just ordinary soldiers after all. If we want to eradicate thousands of evil soul masters, we can't win completely!"
Extreme Douluo's pupils shrank, "Your Majesty, you mean... those generals concealed the true casualties?"
Dai Yueyan nodded slightly, "Well! If this is the case, I can understand them. After all, this is the first battle of the Star Luo Empire against the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult. The morale of the people and the army is particularly important!"
While the two of them were talking, the other ministers gradually calmed down...
One of the ministers stepped forward and suggested, "Your Majesty, since the war is a victory, we might as well strike while the iron is hot and annihilate all the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Sect in one fell swoop!"
Another minister also echoed, "That's right, no matter how powerful these evil soul masters from the Holy Spirit Sect are, they will kneel before the indestructible hooves of our Star Luo Empire!"
"A mere evil soul master is nothing but a strong man but a weak man. He is no match for our Star Luo Empire!"
Obviously, these ministers have been oppressed by the Holy Spirit Cult for so long that this sudden victory made them forgetful!
But not all the ministers were confused. They said rationally, "Your Majesty, I feel that there is something fishy about this eradication operation. It's better to observe first!"
"That's right, even though our soldiers are physically strong, they still don't have an advantage when facing the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Sect. In terms of a complete victory, it's impossible!"
"If the evil soul master of the Holy Spirit Sect is really that easy to defeat, then Shrek Academy and other forces with powerful soul masters should have destroyed them long ago!"
Dai Yueyan looked at these ministers and said seriously, "Regarding this extermination operation, regardless of the specific casualties, it is a fact that thousands of evil soul masters were exterminated, and it also boosted the morale of our soldiers and the people of the empire!"
"Of course, some ministers are worried that the Holy Spirit Cult is trying to lure the enemy into weakness, so I naturally have a sense of discretion!"
In just two sentences, these ministers shut up and stopped worrying about this issue...
Immediately, he once again said in a tone that could not be questioned, "Send my order to have the army return to defend the Star Luo Empire immediately to avoid the Holy Spirit Cult's counterattack!"
All ministers bowed in unison, "Yes, His Majesty the Emperor!"
…
Holy Spirit Church, headquarters!
The leader, the Ghost Emperor, looked gloomy and said, "How dare the Star Luo Empire gather its elites to attack us!!"
More importantly, they also lost thousands of evil soul masters!!
This is undoubtedly a sign of not taking the Holy Spirit Religion seriously!
Nunnally was the first to answer, "Return to the Lord, although our Holy Spirit Church lost a thousand evil soul masters, the casualties in the Star Luo Empire were obviously much more serious! About ten times as many as ours!"
"From this point of view, our Holy Spirit Church has not lost!"
Leng Yulai next to him said lightly, "Yes, most of the Star Luo Empire's armies are ordinary soldiers. Their ability to fight alone is very weak, and they can only rely on huge numbers to hold on!"
"If we really want to collide with the evil soul masters of our Holy Spirit Sect, it will be like hitting an egg against a stone!"
Harosa reminded, "It's not that simple. Since the Star Luo Empire's army is the strongest among the three empires, it must have something unique about it!"
"Leader, I suggest you not to launch a rash counterattack before you have a clear understanding!"
Just a thousand evil soul masters are nothing to today's Holy Spirit Religion!
The Ghost Emperor glanced at Harosa with his cold gaze, "Deputy Leader, do you mean that our Holy Spirit Church is afraid of the Star Luo Empire??"
Harosa's mind trembled, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Master, we are naturally not afraid of the Star Luo Empire, but if we want to truly unify all continents, we will face the cooperation of the three empires!"
"Even with the current foundation of our Holy Spirit Religion, it is difficult to compete! Therefore, we need to continue to develop in secret until we are absolutely sure!"
When the Ghost Emperor heard this, he let out a cold "hum" and his expression softened a little...
Immediately, he looked at Nunnally, "Nunally, have all the sects in the Star Luo Empire been cleared?"
Nunnally came back to her senses and said calmly, "Cult Leader, all the rebellious sects, large and small, have been completely cleansed. As for the others, they have surrendered to our Holy Spirit Sect!"
Those who follow me will prosper, those who go against me will perish!
This is the law of the Holy Spirit!
The Ghost Emperor's face gradually became crazy, "Very good! In this way, the Star Luo Empire is just a thing in our pocket and can be replaced at any time!"
Poor people from the royal family, they really thought they could stop the Holy Spirit Cult's assassination with just two Extreme Douluo!
Then, he suddenly shouted "Leng Yulai!"
Leng Yulai nodded slightly, "Leader!"
The Ghost Emperor pursed his thin lips and said, "From now on, you will be responsible for deploying troops to the borders of the Star Luo Empire, and you must control all transportation hubs in our hands!"
With the transportation hub under control, even if the outside world wants to help the Star Luo Empire, it will still spend a lot of time and resources!
He calmly said without changing his expression, "I understand, leader!"
This kind of thing is nothing but trivial matter to her!
…
Douluo Continent, Federation!
I saw one of the top executives frowning, "The Star Luo Empire faced the Holy Spirit Cult for the first time and actually achieved a complete victory. How is this possible!"
Another senior executive agreed, "Yes, the Star Luo Empire is so backward in terms of technology and soul masters, how could it be the opponent of the Holy Spirit Religion! Our federation lost a lot of soul masters back then!"
"It is estimated that the top brass of the Star Luo Empire came up with a way to stabilize the morale of the military, or that they concealed the specific casualties!"
"Given the covetousness of the Holy Spirit Cult, after suffering this attack, they should launch a counterattack soon. It depends on whether the Star Luo Empire can withstand it!"
"I think it's better to take the initiative to negotiate with the Star Luo Empire, let them simply identify the location of the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, and then apply for the use of level 12 soul-guided artillery shells to completely eliminate it!"
"I agree. If the Holy Spirit Cult is not eliminated, the future situation will become unstable!"
"I can only think about this proposal. If we really do this, with the range covered by level 12 soul-guided artillery shells, I am afraid that many civilians will be killed indiscriminately!"
The middle-aged man who has the greatest say in the federation said calmly, "Rather than focusing on these things, it is better to follow up on the situation of the competition!"
"In addition, I propose to add another reward. All the top three soul masters in the finals can choose to join the Federation and be given the rank of lieutenant colonel!"
