Chapter 256 Peace Negotiation
The ninth-level fixed-type soul guide device is a soul guide device that can only be produced by the Sun-Moon Empire and is powerful enough to decide the outcome of the battle.
In terms of lethality, other level nine soul guides are far from comparable. The fact that Shrek Academy can produce level nine fixed soul guides means that although the soul guide technology of the original Douluo Continent cannot be compared with that of the Sun Moon Empire, it can already see its future.
After all, no one could have expected that Shrek Academy had the ability to use mental power to detect the inside of a soul guide. Even though the Sun-Moon Empire was on guard against it, the secret of the ninth-level soul guide was eventually leaked out.
Even at this moment, the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy has already moved the humanoid soul guides of Xu Tianyuan and others onto the research table. Of course, in order to keep these humanoid soul guides, the academy still paid a considerable sum of money to Wang Nan, after all, these were his spoils of war.
While Shrek was busy researching soul guides that had never been seen before, the Sun-Moon Empire was doing the exact opposite.
Xu Tianran finally walked out of the study. As a Titled Douluo, not resting for a few days didn't really have much impact on him, but at this moment, his eyes were already bloodshot, and there was an lingering gloomy atmosphere around him.
Looking up at the dazzling sun, Xu Tianran finally closed his eyes. The Soul Instructor Corps suffered heavy losses, and only one finger of the national protection hand remained. Without the top combat power, they could only rely on national strength to fight. Even though the Sun-Moon Empire had a vast territory and a large population, it was still unable to resist the combined forces of the three empires.
"Someone come here." Xu Tianran spoke, his voice extremely hoarse.
"His Majesty."
"Pass the orange."
"Yes."
……
Compared to the Tianhun Empire, Yuming City is much calmer. Ever since Wang Nan came here, the Sun and Moon Empire's army has withdrawn all its troops back to Tianming City and has not taken a single step forward.
This made Wang Nan feel much more at peace. At this moment, he was staying in a courtyard prepared for him alone, his soul power was flowing in and out, and the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was visibly gathering towards him.
His cultivation reached the level of Super Douluo, and the cultivation method he tailored for himself by combining it with Alex magic became more and more perfect.
While he was meditating, his mind suddenly moved. Wang Nan controlled the soul power in his body to gradually calm down. He let out a long sigh, and just in time he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the yard.
"marshal."
Before Dai Hao knocked on the door, Wang Nan had already opened the gate.
Dai Hao was not surprised. He did not try to conceal his aura, so Wang Nan could not sense it.
"Duke Qitian, news just came from the north that the Sun Moon Empire sent Queen Orange to the border to negotiate peace with the three empires."
Dai Hao said this as he handed Wang Nan a piece of letter filled with news from the front line.
Wang Nan lowered his head and took a quick glance.
In just a few days, the coalition forces of the three empires of Douling, Tianhun and Xingluo had pushed the battle line all the way to the city of Tiandou.
However, unlike before, it was the three major empires that surrounded Tiandou City, while the Sun and Moon Empire relied on soul guides to defend Tiandou City tightly.
However, in Shrek City, the Sun-Moon Empire lost too many top-level combat forces. Without the Soul Guidance Team that could coordinate attack and defense, and without the Titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Church, Tiandou City was soon breached again by Super Douluo such as Du Bu Si.
It was also at this time that the letter from the Sun Moon Empire seeking peace was delivered to the Emperor of the Sky Soul Empire. "The Sun Moon Empire is willing to return all the land of the Sky Soul Empire and all the territory of our Xing Luo Empire from the Mingdou Mountains to Yuming City in exchange for stopping the war."
What Dai Hao said was not recorded on the letter paper. It was probably just a rough proposal. The specific details and other compensation matters would be discussed slowly after the three major empires were willing to agree.
"Will Your Majesty agree?"
"I think so." Dai Hao sighed, "No one likes war."
Wang Nan nodded slightly upon hearing this.
The spiritual power spread out, and was able to "see" the soldiers outside. The ordinary people in the city had already left here to escape to other places, and the soldiers who remained here had no other expression on their faces except sadness and sorrow.
I guess they have been looking forward to peace for a long time.
"If we can really negotiate peace, the Marshal can also take this opportunity to rest for a while."
"Yes, I have been away from home fighting for many years and have been unable to take care of my family. Even my own children are filled with hatred towards me."
Wang Nan's eyes paused slightly when he heard this. Dai Hao might have other meanings in his words.
Dai Yuheng was right beside him at the front line, Dai Huabin was still in Shrek Academy, and even Dai Luoli, who was born to a concubine, did not hate him. The flesh and blood that Dai Hao mentioned was probably Huo Yuhao.
Wang Nan's expression did not change much. He knew how powerful a duke of the Xingluo Empire was. Besides, Dai Hao and Xu Jiawei were as close as brothers, so it was not an exaggeration to say that they were princes. With his power and status, even if the duchess had a great background, it would not be possible for Dai Hao to have any scruples.
If he really had deep feelings for Huo Yuhao's mother, Huo Yun'er, even if he could not marry her because of her status, he would still have the status of a concubine. Why would he fall to the point of being worse than an inferior?
Although Dai Hao, as the empire's marshal, loves his soldiers like his own sons, no one is perfect. After all, he is of noble birth and his ideas are completely different from those of ordinary people.
For the dignified Duke White Tiger, he was naturally romantic when he was young. When facing a maid, he would just do it casually when he was in the mood, and forget about her afterwards. Perhaps when he was telling sweet words in the room, he would also give her a trophy soul guide as a gift.
But it was hard to say how precious that gift was to him, and how sincere those sweet words were. In addition, Huo Yuhao had not yet awakened his White Tiger spirit, so they were naturally insignificant in Dai Hao's heart.
Allowing them to leave the house and find a place to stay without disturbing them is already a consideration of our old friendship.
It's just that those sweet words were taken seriously by a lovesick woman.
When Dai Hao brought up the matter again, Wang Nan didn't know whether he was truly repentant or whether he was only mentioning the matter in front of him because he knew Huo Yuhao's talent now, so that he could mediate. But he didn't plan to intervene in the matter.
"I already know about the war in the north. If your majesty is interested in peace talks, there should be a lot of things to deal with in Yuming City, so I will not keep the marshal."
"Alright."
Dai Hao looked at Wang Nan, nodded, said no more, and turned to leave.
Wang Nan sighed as he watched Dai Hao's back gradually disappear. Although he now had the title of Duke and was considered a top noble in the Xingluo Empire, with the memories of his past life, he could not resonate with "real" nobles like Dai Hao.
