Douluo: I loaded the Odyssey Kayn voice pack
Chapter 690 Gather all the soul rings (4)
Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.
"Cough cough cough cough..." The rapid and weak cough of the supreme man of the empire came from the palace.
"Father!" A man and a woman outside the palace immediately ran into the palace and saw the man who looked like gold paper on the bed.
If Lu Yuan were here, he would not have thought that the current master of the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Emperor Dai Qingxiao, whom he had seen on the battlefield, would now look like this.
I saw the blond man on the bed, with a haggard face like an old man in his seventies or eighties, with sunken eye sockets and bloodshot eyes, and his lips were bloodless. The tall and strong body in the past seemed to have shrunk and was now rickety. In the hospital bed.
This is so different from the previous Dai Qingxiao. He is almost no different from Emperor Xueye when he was poisoned. He is not like a powerful Contra in his prime at all.
"I'm fine." Dai Qingxiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the handkerchief handed over by Queen Zhu Lanxi, and waved his hand.
However, he actually knew that his time was running out. Since that great defeat, the Star Luo Empire had lost nearly a million troops and countless food and military equipment. The most important thing was that the Star Luo Empire relied on its famous Douluo Continent. All three famous generals died.
It can be said that this battle directly interrupted the lifeblood of the Star Luo Empire.
It also broke up Dai Qingxiao's morale, which was very important to a person.
Especially for a person who is particularly confident and proud, if his spirit is shattered, it will be like falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley.
Once this spirit is dispelled, not only will you lose confidence from then on, but you will also have many difficulties in doing things, and you will start to question your own decisions.
As soon as Dai Qingxiao's anger dissipated, the old and new injuries on his body accumulated together, causing him to become seriously ill before he returned to Xingluo City.
I have been suffering from this disease for more than half a year.
The pain directly consumed most of Dai Qingxiao's vitality, making him look so thin and miserable now.
He himself also knew how miserable he was now.
It can even be described as the oil has run out and the lamp has dried up. Dai Qingxiao is now beyond the reach of medicine. Unless someone can directly inject huge amounts of life energy into his body, he can restore his vitality.
But this is probably only possible by the legendary and mysterious gods...
In short, Dai Qingxiao is now gradually settling his affairs. In recent years, he has not only completely let go of most state affairs to Crown Prince Dai Mubai.
For the sake of the stable inheritance of the crown prince, Davis, the former crown prince and eldest prince, was directly exiled to the poisonous place in the far south of the empire.
The purpose is to ensure that there will be no problems in the inheritance of the throne. The Xingluo Empire cannot withstand the turmoil of the change of imperial power. Dai Qingxiao must do this.
"Mubai, come here." Dai Qingxiao waved to Dai Mubai at this time.
Dai Mubai immediately came to Dai Qingxiao. Looking at his father who was getting thinner now, he felt a little sad.
"Father, Mubai is here."
Dai Qingxiao looked at Dai Mubai in front of him. He was strong, heroic, smart and capable. The most important thing was that Dai Mubai had something that no member of the Xingluo royal family in the past generations had.
That's emotion.
In order to compete for the throne, members of the Xingluo royal family in the past generations have always ignored the love between brothers and father and son. This is the tradition of the Xingluo royal family.
For the sake of the throne, you can kill your brother and your father. Whoever has a bigger fist will get the throne.
The Xingluo royal family can be said to have been virtuous from generation to generation, and each generation of emperors has been a heroic hero.
Only when it came to Dai Mubai, something unexpected happened. This second son did not want to compete for the throne and fled to the Tiandou Empire many years ago.
Dai Mubai would not have returned to the Star Luo Empire to fight for the throne had it not been for the pursuit of his enemies by the Heaven Dou Empire.
Originally, Dai Qingxiao thought this was his son's only shortcoming.
But after the defeat of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai's shortcomings suddenly became his strengths.
Because of this defeat, Dai Qingxiao had to bear half of the responsibility, and there was huge resentment in the Xingluo Empire.
At this time, the power in the hands of the royal family was no longer enough to suppress these boiling public complaints with force.
So now the Xingluo royal family must be gentle and cannot let the subjects continue to see that the Xingluo Emperor is ruthless and cold.
Therefore, Dai Mubai's emotional side made the Xingluo royal family's shaky prestige a little more stable.
At the same time, after such a prince ascends the throne in the future, he will give people the feeling that he will no longer engage in military warfare and wanton conquests.
Now the entire Xingluo Empire is war-weary and wants to live and work in peace and contentment for a while.
Now they will naturally support Dai Mubai, who is affectionate and gentle, to ascend the throne.
Therefore, in the eyes of Dai Qingxiao, Dai Mubai now has almost no shortcomings.
such a pity……
"Mubai, Mubai, if you are as talented as Lu Yuan, then the last wishes of the ancestors of our Star Luo Empire must be fulfilled in your hands." Dai Qingxiao sighed and said with some disappointment.
The implication is that Dai Mubai is not as talented as Lu Yuan.
But Dai Mubai was not dissatisfied with this, because what Dai Qingxiao said was true.
Lu Yuan's talent is not even a little bit better than his.
But the difference between cloud and mud is that Lu Yuan is not only a twin martial spirit, he also became a titled Douluo at the age of twenty, and not long ago his actual combat power was to kill two hundred thousand year souls in the Star Dou Forest. beast.
Dai Mubai has only broken through to the Soul Emperor realm now. Although the twenty-six-six-seven-year-old Soul Emperor's talent is pretty good, he can at least compete with the golden generation of the Spirit Hall.
But there is no comparison between the twenty-six-six-seven-year-old Soul Emperor and the twenty-year-old Titled Douluo.
Of course he had no dissatisfaction.
"Although my son is a little dull, he will try his best to fulfill his duties." Dai Mubai said at this time.
"But what I'm afraid of is that even though you try your best, you will inevitably end up with the country subjugated..." Dai Qingxiao shook his head.
There was a trace of tears in his eyes at this time, and he said, "Hey... It's all my fault... Why did I insist on going my own way in the first place, and why did I have to make the empire decline like this..."
Dai Qingxiao's waist became even more stooped, "Without my insistence, the Xingluo Empire would not have been able to resist Lu Yuan and his Sky Shadow Empire, and it would have been able to protect itself. It would not have to rely on the Spirit Hall and the Heavenly Shadow Empire now. The fate of the Star Crown Sect..."
He undoubtedly blamed himself very much for that big defeat. Not only did he fall seriously ill after returning to China, but he also issued three self-indictments directly after recovering from the illness.
And it is not a formal edict to sin against oneself. The three edicts to sin against oneself can be said to be fierce in words and vicious in every word. It is almost like pointing at one's own nose and scolding the fool and the sinner.
"Father... don't get excited. How can this be entirely blamed on you? Who would have thought that Lu Yuan could lead his troops so bravely, not only guarding Zhennang Pass, but also afterwards..." Dai Mubai shook his head, Said with a wry smile.
Yes, who would have thought that Lu Yuan could lead 300,000 troops alone to resist the Star Luo Empire's troops when all the elites of the Star Luo Empire were deployed and millions of troops were approaching the southern gate of the town.
And after that, boldly let the four kingdoms and their people pass Jialing Pass, and the final battle will determine the outcome?
"Ahem..." Dai Qingxiao covered his mouth and coughed violently.
"Your Majesty..." Queen Zhu Lanxi beside the bed quickly supported him and patted his back to make him breathe easier.
"Needless to say, all the mistakes were made by me alone." Dai Qingxiao waved his hands and said with dark eyes, "Now the offensive and defensive momentum is different, Lu Yuan has usurped the Tiandou Empire, and his wolfish ambitions will definitely not Be content with this.”
"In the future, when the Tianying Empire raises troops and builds a million-strong army, then our Xingluo Empire will be in danger."
"Fortunately, Lu Yuan is also the enemy of Wuhun Palace. We can rely on the power of Wuhun Palace to fight against the Tianying Empire together."
"But!" Dai Qingxiao said solemnly at this time, "The Wuhun Palace cannot be trusted, and their plans are not small. Conspiracy with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. Mubai, remember not to trust the people of the Wuhun Palace credulously. .”
Dai Mubai immediately responded with a stern voice, "I understand that the words of those in Wuhun Palace cannot be easily believed."
"There is also the hidden sect Xingguan Sect." Dai Qingxiao added, "Although they are a sect force in the Star Luo Empire, and they have behaved harmlessly during this period, you cannot let them take over. .”
"Although Xingguan Sect and Haotian Sect are both supported by us, Haotian Sect has few disciples now. You should support Haotian Sect more to check and balance Xingguan Sect."
"I understand, father." Dai Mubai nodded, and he had no objection to this matter.
The Star Crown Sect suddenly appeared after the defeat of the Star Luo Empire, and had previously claimed that they had always been a hidden sect.
Otherwise, the Xingluo royal family would be able to treat these sect forces rooted in their own land as if they were the royal ministers.
The Xingguan Sect is so powerful that it must be used by the Xingluo royal family.
What is the purpose of their seclusion?
It's not like the Xingguan Sect, like the Haotian Sect, had offended a force that was more powerful than them.
Therefore, he has only one purpose in hiding from the world, and that is not to be used by the Xingluo royal family.
But now that the Xingluo royal family is weak, they ran out again at this time.
Obviously, among them, Xingguan Sect may also harbor treasonous intentions.
"However, these methods and strategies are secondary, Mubai. What is really important is that our Xingluo royal family must always have the strength to suppress everything..." Dai Qingxiao sighed and said.
Dai Mubai pursed his lips and said, "I will do my best..."
Dai Qingxiao frowned at this time, and he suddenly said, "Xi'er, do you still remember... that strange scene that appeared in the sky when we were defeated?"
Zhu Lanxi nodded, "That strange scene is indeed very strange... For some reason, I always feel that it seems to be related to Lu Yuan."
"Xi'er... did you hear any strange sounds at that time?" Dai Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
"Sound? There doesn't seem to be..." Zhu Lanxi shook his head and said.
"I heard it..." Dai Qingxiao murmured, "Is it my imagination?"
"Father, what did you hear?" Dai Mubai asked immediately.
"I heard...a voice saying, surrender to me, and I will give you the power to destroy everything..." Dai Qingxiao murmured.
At some point, there seemed to be a gorgeous black sphere in his eyes, wrapped in light, but exuding an extremely desperate and lifeless aura of extinction, and making a terrifying sound of "sizzling"...
at this time……
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, the envoy from the Wuhun Palace is here to visit, saying that he will discuss with your Majesty the crusade against the Tianying Empire!" Dai Qingxiao's minister hurriedly walked in at this time and saluted.
…
And at the same time.
In the vast forest, a huge and powerful soul beast with a height of more than five meters was lying down here. This powerful soul beast was extremely majestic and looked a bit like a lion, but it had three identical big heads.
Each head has a diameter of more than one meter, and the terrifying canine teeth release a red-gold luster.
And this powerful soul beast was looking at a soul beast that was only the size of a person from a distance, emitting strange energy next to the lake.
This soul beast is only the size of a human, with golden hair, and its whole body seems to be translucent crystal, full of strange texture.
The overall shape is very similar to a lion, but it is completely different from that huge soul beast. Its four claws are like dragons, and there is a ball of golden flames under each dragon claw.
The mouth is also longer than that of the lion soul beast, and there seems to be fine golden scales under the hair.
In addition to the normal eyes, there is also a third eye, but it has a vertical pupil.
The two normal eyes were shining with gold, but the vertical pupils were red, with a bit of a strange red color.
These two soul beasts with huge differences in size are none other than the Red King, the king of the three-headed red devil dogs, and the newly born imperial auspicious beast, the three-eyed golden leopard.
At this time, the Red King was watching every move of the three-eyed golden beast. Under the energy emitted by the three-eyed golden beast, it seemed that the surrounding environment had changed slightly.
at this time……
Suddenly, the eyes on the three heads of the Red King, who was lying lazily on the ground, suddenly became extremely sharp.
He stood up immediately, and at the same time, he suddenly jumped towards the three-eyed golden beast who didn't know what was going on.
"Awwww..." The three-eyed golden tiger was interrupted by the action of the Red King, and roared with some confusion.
However, the Red King ignored the three-eyed golden beast behind him, as if he was protecting the three-eyed golden beast behind him. His limbs were faintly tilted back, and the three heads all opened their sharp teeth, emitting a dangerous light, and looked like they were... He looked like he was going to attack the deserted forest in front of him.
"Which spirit beast is it? How dare you come to my territory and run wild!" The head in the center of the Red King roared angrily and spoke in human language.
"It's me, Red King, don't be nervous." A voice very familiar to Red King came from the jungle.
Then a beautiful green figure appeared in front of the Red King. The Red King breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Bi Ji.
In the Star Forest, Brigitte is probably the only one who doesn't need to be careful.
"No..." Suddenly the Red King's nose moved, and his expression changed, "There are others!"
"Red King, your nose is still so sharp." A carefree and familiar voice came out immediately.
However, the figure that came out made the Red King stunned.
A tall man with dark golden hair and a beard appeared in front of him, but his breath and voice were very familiar to the Red King.
"Are you... Mr. Xiong?" Red King frowned and asked tentatively. (End of chapter)
