Chapter 221: Besiege Wei to Save Zhao, Besiege a Point and Attack the Reinforcements
After three days and two nights of effort, Dai Weis and his companions finally returned to Star Luo City in the middle of the night.
However, Star Luo City, which was supposed to be under curfew, was brightly lit at this moment, surprising Dai Weis and his companions.
Outside Star Luo City, the Star Luo Royal Knights, White Tiger Legion, Fierce Tiger Legion, Gale Legion, War Tiger Legion, and other combat units had already understood the situation and were neatly lined up, ready to fight the enemy to the death.
Something's wrong!
This was the only thought on Dai Weis and his companions' minds at this moment. Dai Weis and Dai Tianxing glanced at each other, able to see the thoughts in each other's eyes, and quickly flew towards the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
As expected, the Star Luo Imperial Palace was also brightly lit, and even a fierce quarrel could be heard from within the palace!
"The Clear Sky Sect is our ally. I think we should send troops to rescue it!"
"I second that."
"Me too!"
"We can't fight! We can't fight! The Spirit Hall has dispatched eight Titled Douluo and ten thousand Spirit Masters! We in Star Luo can't afford to fight them."
"I think we should sever ties with the Clear Sky Sect and wait and see what happens, or negotiate with the Spirit Hall!"
"I second that."
"Me too!"
"I think..."
"Alright, alright! Stop arguing, Pojun, tell me, what's going on?" Dai Tianxing had already appeared in the palace.
He saw the entire court, civil and military officials, gathered there, arguing endlessly, leaving Dai Pojun feeling annoyed and overwhelmed.
Dai Weis glanced around. It seemed every prominent figure in the Star Luo Empire had arrived: ministers and generals, Lie Tianhu, Lin Qiuyang, Yang Wudi, Bai He, Niu Gao, even Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Tianyu were there!
This left him perplexed. What could have happened to bring so many people together?
Seeing Dai Tianxing and the other two arrive, the entire court knelt, bowing and shouting, "Greetings to the Retired Emperor! Greetings to the Empress Dowager! Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Alright, everyone, please step aside. Pojun, what happened? I just heard the words Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Sect. What happened to them?"
"Father, this is what happened..." Dai Pojun, his face weary, recounted the events of the Spirit Hall attacking the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Yuehua sending troops to the Star Luo Empire for help.
Dai Tianxing's brow furrowed, especially after learning that the eight elders from the Elder Hall had all come forward. A tingling sensation tingled in his spine.
Dai Weis, standing nearby, a flicker of realization dawned on him. After learning that Tang Hao had crushed hundreds of Spirit Hall spirit masters with his hammer, he realized something more was going on.
After all, with the strength of Bibi Dong and the others, it was impossible for them to be unable to stop a severely injured Tang Hao. It now appears that Bibi Dong had clearly intended to shift the conflict to the Clear Sky Sect from that moment on.
Allowing Tang Hao to intervene simply legitimized Spirit Hall's attack on the Clear Sky Sect.
"Sister Yuehua..."
Dai Weis couldn't help but feel a little worried upon learning that Tang Yuehua had also returned to the Clear Sky Sect to join the fight. He would be devastated if anything happened to her.
"Everyone's arguing over whether to send troops to rescue the Clear Sky Sect!"
Dai Pojun now faced three difficult questions: to rescue or not? If he chose to send troops to aid the Clear Sky Sect, how should he do so?
If he chose to stand aside, how could he protect the interests of the Star Luo Empire?
"Father!"
When Dai Pojun raised the question, Dai Weis answered without hesitation: "I think we should go to support the Clear Sky Sect!"
After a pause, Dai Weis continued: "The Spirit Hall attacked the Clear Sky Sect. On the surface, it was to avenge the deceased spirit master, but in reality, it was like Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong. Bibi Dong's real purpose must be to attack the Star Luo Empire.
Don't forget, when we went to Spirit City, Bibi Dong sent Ju, Ghost Douluo and others to attack us, and Bibi Dong also knew that we and the Clear Sky Sect were in an offensive and defensive alliance.
Therefore, I think her real intention is to deal with the Star Luo Empire by attacking the Clear Sky Sect."
"If we don't send troops, the alliance between the Star Luo Empire and the Clear Sky Sect will collapse. Seeing our stance, other factions will no longer be willing to ally with us.
If we do, we will be isolated from the entire Douluo Continent. Even if we can escape the Spirit Hall's clutches this time, Bibi Dong's wicked ambitions and sinister intentions are already clear."
"I can't allow others to sleep beside my bed. If we don't help this time, the next time the Spirit Hall attacks us, we'll be left alone."
Dai Pojun nodded slightly. Although he didn't understand the meaning of "Xiang Zhuang dances with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong," he felt that there was some truth to it.
"Go on."
"If we send troops to aid the Clear Sky Sect, the situation will be completely different. Although this will give the Spirit Hall an excuse to deal with us, it will also allow the spirit master forces of the entire Douluo Continent to see our attitude.
Especially the Clear Sky Sect, after seeing that we sent troops to help, they will only unswervingly form an alliance with us in the future. If we are in trouble in the future, the Clear Sky Sect will also come to rescue us.
And after seeing our attitude, more forces will be willing to form an alliance with us in the future, such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles Sect, such as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. Therefore, I decided that we should send troops to aid the Clear Sky Sect!"
After listening to Dai Weis's heartfelt words, Dai Pojun nodded slightly and made up his mind!
"Okay, I've decided to send troops to attack the Spirit Hall and aid the Clear Sky Sect! From now on, I don't want to hear any more words of peacemaking with the Spirit Hall, General Lie Tianhu!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"You also advocated aiding the Clear Sky Sect just now. Tell me, how should we aid the Clear Sky Sect?"
Lie Tianhu took out a border map of the Star Luo Empire and Spirit City and said, "Your Majesty, now that all the spirit masters of Spirit City have gone to attack the Clear Sky Sect, the defenses of Spirit City must be empty. I think we should lead the army to attack the enemy directly! When the spirit masters who are attacking the Clear Sky Sect on the front line learn of this, they will inevitably evacuate the Clear Sky Sect and defend Spirit City. In this way, the danger of the Clear Sky Sect will be resolved!"
Dai Pojun nodded slightly when he heard this. This was the time to surround Wei to save Zhao. If troops were sent directly to the Clear Sky Sect, the journey would be too long and it would waste time.
At this moment, Dai Weis suddenly said, "Uncle Tianhu is indeed well versed in the art of war, but I would like to make a slight modification."
"Oh?" Lie Tianhu raised his eyebrows. "I wonder what your highness the crown prince has in mind?"
"I think Uncle Tianhu should send troops to attack Spirit City, and at the same time, detach 50,000 troops, led by me, to head to the Heaven Dou Empire.
Once we reach the Heaven Dou Empire, we will split into two groups. One group will pretend to rescue the Clear Sky Sect, while the other will ambush the Spirit Hall troops on the route they must take to retreat to Spirit City.
The Spirit Hall troops will inevitably be exhausted and tired during their retreat. At that time, we will take advantage of the opportunity to wait for them to pass by and suddenly attack them, catching them off guard!
This strategy is called: wait and see, then surround and attack the reinforcements!"
