Snow City was just the beginning. In the following time, Vientiane City received continuous battle reports, and many important boundary cities fell for no reason.
The cities owned by the three major palaces had already formed a huge whole, connected by those bone-like cities, almost unbreakable.
However, almost all the cities that have been falling in recent times are these important cities like bones. The whole of the three major palaces has been beaten to pieces, and the battle is not as orderly as before.
These sudden breakthroughs caught the three major palaces by surprise. The original plan was to continue to advance, but now they had to go back and recapture these cities.
In this way, after two seasons from the heavy snow to the scorching sun, after the three major palaces continuously dispatched masters to those cities, the western part of the Vientiane Realm has basically stabilized.
There are a total of 560 large and small land boundaries in the west of the Vientiane Realm, and now there are about 400 of them belonging to the three major palaces. The other 160 land boundaries either belong to neutral forces, or have already been allied, or it is just time to seize them. The problem.
And the power of the Soul Alliance is largely stored in the eastern part of the entire Vientiane Realm, and about three-quarters of the territory belongs to them.
In this way, the entire Vientiane Realm has just formed two completely opposite situations, and the map section has also become divided into east and west, including Vientiane City!
In the past, Vientiane City was ring-shaped and divided into outer city, middle city, inner city and Vientiane Altar.
Now the two major powers use the Vientiane Altar as the boundary to divide the city into two parts. In just two years, Vientiane City has changed from one huge city to two big cities, and the center point has also been shifted.
The palaces of the original three major palaces have now been converted into fortresses in the city, and the city walls extend to the north and south! There are many guards inside and outside the fortress and city walls, facing the army of the Soul Alliance across the Vientiane Altar.
The Vientiane Altar seems to maintain its original calm, but the three major palaces and the Soul Alliance will not easily give up control of the city. Secret contests appear every night after nightfall. Dead bodies appear in the alley...
Before the dust settled between the lower and middle levels, Vientiane City could barely maintain this confrontation. However, the three palaces knew very well that the final battle for Vientiane City was definitely not the end of the war.
Because, no matter which side loses and loses the control of Vientiane City, they can take advantage of the trend to retreat to their consolidated territory, carry out a certain defense, and after recharging their energy, they will definitely counterattack and regain Vientiane City.
It can be said that Vientiane City is just a banner, and whoever captures this banner will occupy the high ground of the war, and can use it as a springboard to gain more territory and resources, but this does not mean that the war will Thus ends.
…
"Good news, Lord Tuzun, good news!" Elder Xiao Yuan walked into the hall with a smile on his face, like the wind under his feet, he walked in front of Tuzun in three or two steps, forgetting even the etiquette, and looked excited Said.
Tuzun was negotiating in a low voice with a veteran of the Neutral Hunting Club. He glanced at Elder Xiao, hesitated for a while, then glanced at Princess Wanning next to him and said, "Take Mr. Dang to rest first, and then invite Elder De The spiritual master made a diagnosis for Mr. Dang."
Princess Wanning nodded, summoned a few maids, and led the veteran of the hunting party away from the side.
After the person left, Tuzun Ke Yin glared at Old Xiao Yuan and said, "What's the matter, you still don't know how to control your emotions at such an age."
The old man Xiao Yuan blushed, coughed, glanced at the snickering of his colleagues around him, and hurriedly said seriously: "Prince Chao captured Xiang Rongcheng, and captured the opponent's coach!"
Tuzun Keyin was tasting tea, and immediately put down the teacup after hearing this sentence!
But Elder Chao, who was snickering at the side, stood up abruptly from his seat, and asked excitedly, "This... is this true?"
Seeing the appearance of Grand Yuan Chao, Elder Xiao Yuan couldn't help muttering, you old bastards are not the same as me, dare to laugh at me
"Do I, Xiao, seem like someone who likes to joke?" Elder Xiao Yuan said.
Everyone knows about Xiao Yuanlao's temper. He is indeed a very rigid and serious person. If this news comes from someone else, then things may have some changes, but if Xiao Yuanlao's character is not 100% sure, then Decided not to tell this matter!
"Hahaha, well done, well done! In this way, we have a springboard capable of invading the entire Vientiane City territory!" Zhuo Mang, the commander of the holy guard, laughed.
Xiangrong City has a vast territory and a huge resource of plant spirits. The most important thing is that it is the tenth-level boundary city closest to Vientiane City. Obtaining this city is no different from having a long sword pierced into the three major palaces. In the territory of Vientiane City, it seems that it is just around the corner to expel the forces of the Soul Alliance from Vientiane City!
"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice, you can guess who the opponent's coach is?" Old Xiao Yuan said pretending to be mysterious, but his twinkling eyes betrayed the excitement and joy in his heart.
"The opposing coach? That's right, isn't Xiangrong City Xia Zhixian's city? Could it be Xia Zhixian's confidant Xia Qing?" Chao Yuan asked.
Xia Qing is Xia Zhixian's adopted sister, and her strength is enough to rank among the most powerful.
Up to now, every strong man with the peak emperor level is extremely precious to both sides. If Xia Qing can be taken down, there will be one less threat to the three palaces.
Elder Xiao Yuan shook his head, with a bit of disdain in his eyes.
Anyone can see that Xiao Yuanlao's eyes are obviously saying, what is Xia Qing doing
"Could it be..." Tuzun Ke Yin gradually showed a look of shock on his face, obviously guessing the coach...
"His Royal Highness Tuzun is still sharp-minded, and the opponent's coach is none other than Xiongfu Xia Zhixian!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent!
After several seconds, everyone finally recovered from the shocking news!
"This... is this true?" Chao Yuan asked almost the same question, but judging from his tone and demeanor, it was even more unbelievable than before.
Elder Xiao Yuan didn't want to repeat that sentence anymore. In fact, after hearing the news, he felt that it was impossible to happen. However, after many confirmations, including when the crown prince himself sent a message indicating that Xia Zhixian had been captured, Elder Xiao Yuan finally recovered from the shock, and hurriedly brought the news to Tuzun Ke Yin.
"Xia Zhixian is extremely powerful. If she was in Xiang Rongcheng, the possibility of taking her down is almost zero. What's more, she has a master-level soul pet. The Prince Chao should not be her opponent. Is there any fraud in this?" ?” Tuzun Ke Yin, who was more thoughtful, quickly calmed down and said these more sensible words.
"Yeah, Xia Zhixian shouldn't be so easy to deal with..."
"But the problem is that Xia Zhixian is now in the hands of Prince Chao, and her soul has been sealed. She is no different from an ordinary woman now. Prince Chao is now waiting for us to decide how to deal with Xia Zhixian." Xiao Yuan said.
"Kill him directly!" Shen Yuan was the first to express his opinion.
"Yes, kill her directly, no matter whether there is fraud or not, killing her soul alliance will definitely hurt her vitality!" Others also agreed with this decision.
Tuzun Ke Yin frowned, not knowing how to make a decision for a moment.
A dominator-level powerhouse cannot be killed if he wants to. Xia Zhixian is the lord of Xiangrong City, and she has a very high reputation. If she kills him, there will be a large group of rebel forces in Xiangrong City, and this must also be considered whether there are some hidden high-ranking people behind Xia Zhixian who maintain neutrality. People, if killing her offends these experts, it will be another blow to the three palaces, but it will provoke more enemies.
However, if you don't kill her, Xia Zhixian was captured suddenly, which is too weird, there is very likely a trap set by the Soul Alliance inside, just waiting for them to sneak into it, if it falls into the trap, it is very likely that the loss will be huge!
"Can you confirm that Xia Zhixian is no longer capable?" Tuzun Ke Yin continued to ask Xiao Yuan.
Elder Xiao Yuan nodded, and said, "Prince Chao, Elder Huan, other elders, and the head of the holy guard have all confirmed it."
"Then let the crown prince escort him back first." Tuzun Ke Yin felt that it was better not to make a hasty decision on this matter, and make a decision when the plenary meeting of the three palaces was held.
…
Xiang Rongcheng.
After nearly two years of war training in Lengchuan, the crown prince has gradually faded away from the youthfulness that he had just joined the WTO, and he has become somewhat mature.
This time he was able to capture Xiangrong City and capture Xia Zhixian, all thanks to the strategy of the civet old man, otherwise Xia Zhixian would be so powerful, let alone capture Xia Zhixian alive, it would be very difficult for the crown prince to capture Xiangrongcheng.
"Well, listen to my old man, you are right. Xia Zhixian is an auxiliary soul pet master. Her own fighting power is very limited. She must stand behind a certain strong man. As long as she can separate them, Xia Zhixian will be of no use. I'm scared." Old Li laughed.
Chao Lengchuan nodded heavily, and now he admires the half-human, half-loved old man in front of him more and more. Without his wisdom, the Hall of Souls could not have mastered so many cities so quickly.
"Huan Lao, what do you think should be done with this woman?" Chao Lengchuan asked.
"Anyway, killing is definitely not killing, and it is true that it can be used as a big bargaining chip to obtain the Vientiane City." Old Li said.
"Why can't it be killed? Even if it can't be killed, wouldn't it be better to abolish her master-level soul pet?" Chao Lengchuan asked puzzled.
"Xia Zhixian has a very good relationship with the neutral forces. Killing her will cause many neutral factions to fall to the Soul Alliance. You may not understand this truth. Let me give you an example. Even if they caught them, they didn't dare to touch a single hair of them. This is not a war that can be won by taking down the enemy's main general. To a certain extent, they have transcended the mundane after reaching the master level. Their intervention is only because of their status and position. In this world Some people are doomed not to be killed or touched, but only to be able to restrict... this Xia Zhixian, it would be good to imprison him, if something happens to us, at least we can use her as a condition to save some of the situation." Old Li said.
