Xu Tianran was completely dumbfounded.
The ingenious maneuvers implied in Huo Yuhao's words seemed to open a new door for the crown prince, revealing that such methods were indeed possible!
Initially, when he questioned Huo Yuhao, Xu Tianran was merely casting a net to see if there were any fish to catch. However, Huo Yuhao's response far exceeded his expectations.According to Huo Yuhao's reasoning, as long as the Sun Moon Empire uses the noble cause of rescuing the civilians of the Dou Ling Empire and preventing them from continuing to suffer at the hands of the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult as a pretext for passage, then regardless of how the Star Luo and Tian Hun Empires respond, the Sun Moon Empire will already be in an invincible position.
Refusing to grant passage would cause both countries to lose the support of the people, making ordinary citizens question whether they only care about the interests of the nobility and are indifferent to the lives of common folk.After all, even the Sun Moon Empire, a country that was once not part of the same continent and had even experienced a brutal war with them, was willing to lend a hand. However, the Star Luo and Tian Hun empires, which originally shared the same roots, chose to turn a blind eye. This will undoubtedly severely damage the prestige of their royal families.
But if they agree to allow passage, even if the ordinary people of the Dou Ling Empire are successfully rescued, the Sun Moon Empire's army will not withdraw. Instead, they will remain at their borders, becoming a knife that could strike at any moment, keeping the royal families of both countries on edge.
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"After a brief moment of daze, Xu Tianran gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs up and praised him repeatedly.
Xiao Hongchen looked Huo Yuhao up and down, clicking his tongue incessantly, and couldn't help but mutter.
"Not bad, I really underestimated you before! I didn't expect you to be so cunning!"
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and said.
"What do you mean by cunning? This is clearly cleverness, okay?"
Xu Tianran nodded in agreement.
"That's right, that's right, it's cleverness!""Not to say, even if Yuhao didn't have such high talent, his strategies in handling such matters alone would be enough to secure him a place among the top echelons of the Sun Moon Empire!"
Xu Tianran's words were a heartfelt exclamation.
He truly had never seen, nor even imagined, such a method.
It was an eye-opener, far ahead of its time!
Once this plan is put into action, the Star Luo Empire and the Tianhun Empire are really going to be in for a tough time!Ji Juechen, standing by, couldn't understand these matters, nor did he care about them. After agreeing with Xiao Hongchen on the time for their next sparring session, he began to feast heartily on the delicacies spread across the table.
The reason Huo Yuhao proposed such a suggestion was solely to weaken the influence of the royal families of the Star Luo and Tian Hun nations as much as possible. This was to minimize bloodshed and avoid severe casualties in the future war of unification.
If a peaceful transition could be achieved, that would naturally be the best outcome.It's not that Huo Yuhao is being overly benevolent, but rather that the power struggles among the high-ranking nobility ultimately make innocent ordinary people pay the price, which is indeed quite inappropriate.
After the banquet concluded, Huo Yuhao didn't waste any more time. Instead, he returned to the laboratory with Gu Yuena, fully focused on continuing the development of the battle armor.
Xiao Hongchen didn't decline Ji Juechen's challenge. Apart from soul tools, he felt he also needed to improve his combat experience and skills. Ji Juechen, the sword fanatic, was clearly an excellent sparring partner.Xu Tianran indeed followed Huo Yuhao's strategy. After selecting a group of candidates, he proposed to the Star Luo Empire and the Tianhun Empire the request to pass through their territories to reach the Dou Ling Empire, aiming to rescue the innocent civilians.
Most crucially, Xu Tianran was also very astute. When he sent envoys to the capitals of Star Luo and Tianhun to present this request to their emperors, he deliberately made the news widely known.
He ensured that everyone was aware that the Sun Moon Empire was preparing to dispatch troops to aid the ordinary people, making it impossible for them to conceal the information. By the time they learned of this matter, it had already become common knowledge.Xu Jiawei listened to the report from his subordinate, pinching the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache coming on.
The Sun Moon Empire was just as negligent as their two countries. Wouldn't it be better to ensure their own country wasn't ravaged by the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult? Why did they have to wade into this mess? And damn it, why did they have to drag them into it as well?
Originally, Xu Jiawei was already overwhelmed by the issues with the Holy Spirit Cult, fearing that those reckless evil soul masters, after wreaking havoc in the Douluo Empire, might choose to invade their Star Luo Empire as well.Now, before the Holy Spirit Sect could take any action, the Sun Moon Empire had already presented a major dilemma, leaving Xu Jiawei in a real quandary.
What troubled Xu Jiawei the most was the news spread by the people of the Sun Moon Empire.
The reason the Sun Moon Empire decided to send troops to the Dou Ling Empire to rescue civilians was because Huo Yuhao was the first to propose this idea, and Crown Prince Xu Tianran immediately agreed, believing they couldn't stand by and watch ordinary people fall victim to the evil soul masters.Once this news spread, countless commoners of the Star Luo Empire felt a deep affection for Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianran, believing that there were few people like them who cared about the lives of ordinary people.
It is important to note that although Huo Yuhao changed his surname, after the Soul Master Competition, everyone knew that he was actually from the Dai family. If one were to argue, the Dai family is the legitimate lineage of the Star Luo Empire!
If things continue to develop this way, wouldn't the image of the emperor of the Star Luo Empire in the eyes of the people be surpassed by Huo Yuhao?
If that were the case, what would be the point? Wouldn't it be better to just surrender?Yet, Xu Jiawei couldn't find a reason to refuse, as doing so would only further damage his prestige! Upon hearing about this, Xu Jiujiu immediately concluded that it was Huo Yuhao's idea. Only that guy could manage to kill several birds with one stone, putting the Star Luo Empire in a dilemma, right?
'Damn it! Why wasn't I informed about Huo Yuhao earlier? If I had known before he went to the Sun Moon Empire, no matter the cost, I would have definitely brought him onto our Star Luo Imperial family's side!'
'Damn Dai Hao! Damn Dai Huabin!'It's all because of these bastards!
For a long time, Xu Jiujiu was very frustrated. Despite her intelligence and wisdom, she couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock in this situation.
After discussing with other high-level officials of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei ultimately had no choice but to reluctantly agree to the Sun Moon Empire's request for passage. This allowed their dispatched troops to travel through the Star Luo Empire to the Dou Ling Empire, aiming to rescue the ordinary people who were suffering under the persecution of the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters.
After deliberation, the high-level officials of the Tian Hun Empire also made the same decision.If it weren't for the overwhelming deterrence of the two ultimate Douluos from the Holy Spirit Sect, which made them too afraid to provoke, they would never have agreed to this matter. Even if they had sent their own people to rescue the people of the Douling Empire, they would not have consented to the Sun Moon Empire's request to pass through.
But now, apart from agreeing, they had no other choice.
Upon receiving the reply, Xu Tianran did not waste any time and immediately dispatched the army that had been prepared in advance to carry out the mission.
When this news broke out, the entire continent was thrown into a frenzy.For a time, Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianran gained immense fame, and the Sun Moon Empire became the top choice for people fleeing from the Dou Ling Empire.
On the other hand, the situations of the Star Luo Empire and the Tian Hun Empire were becoming increasingly perilous!
