Among them, there would be one top-tier General for every ten summons.
In other words, Ivan would ultimately have ten top-tier Generals.
Therefore, those of the third rank and above would definitely be top-tier Generals.
In his opinion, in the Douluo World centered around Spirit Masters, the military officials should prioritize the strong.
However, the highest military rank, the First Rank Great General, must be held by someone who is proficient in both civil and military affairs, with first-rate intelligence and strategy!
Although Lü Bu was brave, powerful, and his combat strength was comparable to a Level 99 Peak Titled Douluo, his strategy was lacking, making him unsuitable for the important role of Great General.
Ivan wanted to see if there would be any top-tier Generals in the future who were both incredibly powerful and incredibly strategic.
After some thought, Ivan made a decision: “Xiahou Dun!” “Your subordinate is here!” Xiahou Dun stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
“I order you to be the Fourth Rank General Who Guards the West, guarding the west!” “Thank you, my Lord, your subordinate accepts the order!” “Lü Bu!” “Your subordinate is here!” Lü Bu stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
“I order you to be the Second Rank, General of Agile Cavalry!” “Your subordinate accepts the order!” As for the other eight Three Kingdoms Generals, they were all of the fifth rank or below.
“Heh, a small Ai City with only a little over twenty thousand soldiers, yet they’re making such a formal show of it,” Qian Renxue muttered softly.
After doing all this, Ivan planned to go to the nearby Hunting Soul Forest in the afternoon to obtain his first spirit ring.
At the same time.
Both the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall had received the news of the Airs Kingdom’s army’s defeat.
At this moment, in the Tian Dou Royal Palace.
“Bad news!
Bad news!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!!!” An official rushed into the main hall of the Imperial Palace in a panic.
Emperor Xue Ye sat on the throne, his brow slightly furrowed: “What is the matter that causes such panic?” “Reports from the front line say that the Airs Kingdom’s army suffered a crushing defeat attacking Ai City!” “What did you say!
How is that possible?
Ai City has at most five thousand soldiers, right?
How could the Airs Kingdom’s army be defeated!?” Emperor Xue Ye felt bewildered and panicked: “Wait, where are the Princes!” The official cried out: “The Third Prince, His Highness Prince Xue Wu…
has…
has perished beneath Ai City!” “The Crown Prince, His Highness Xue Qinghe, has also been captured by the enemy, and his life is currently uncertain!
Your Majesty!!” “What…” Upon hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye nearly collapsed onto the ground from the throne: “How could this happen?” He found it difficult to accept this fact for a moment.
Because in reality.
Among his four sons, Emperor Xue Ye liked the Third Prince Prince Xue Wu the most.
Emperor Xue Ye fell into sorrow for a moment, but this was followed by immense anger and grief: “How preposterous!
A mere Duke’s son dares to kill and capture the Princes of my Tiandou Empire!!” “His crime is unforgivable!!” “Come!” “Assemble the troops, send my Tiandou Empire’s million strong army to conquer Ai City!
Kill the Duke’s son, Ivan!” “Avenge my son and rescue my Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe!!!” Emperor Xue Ye was furious.
The Second Prince was dead, the Third Prince was dead, and the Fourth Prince was too young to show his talent.
If the Fourth Prince Xue Beng was useless, the only person who could inherit his throne in the future would be the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
Now, Emperor Xue Ye absolutely could not let Xue Qinghe die.
“Report!!” “Your Majesty, a letter from Ai City!” “Read it!” Ivan’s original words: Emperor Xue Ye, forgive my bluntness, but if you dare to send troops to attack me, I will definitely decapitate Xue Qinghe.
I advise you to send someone to negotiate with me.
If you dare to use force, I dare to tear up the ticket~ “This!
Your Majesty, what should we do now?” Emperor Xue Ye’s expression was gloomy and uncertain.
Mainly because he was genuinely afraid that Ivan would tear up the ticket and couldn’t afford to gamble.
He asked: “My beloved ministers, who is willing to go to Ai City to negotiate with this child!” The ministers in the hall looked at each other, and for a moment, no one stepped forward.
At this moment, Prince Xue Xing spoke: “Your Majesty, then I shall go to Ai City for negotiations.” Prince Xue Xing, Emperor Xue Ye’s younger brother.
He held a high position of power in the Tiandou Empire, had once saved Dugu Bo, and had the Level 91 Titled Douluo powerhouse Dugu Bo as his trusted subordinate.
“Then I shall trouble Prince Xue Xing to make the trip.” “Dugu Bo, please accompany me!” “Yes, Prince Xue Xing.” Prince Xue Xing, accompanied by Dugu Bo and his guards, headed towards Ai City.
On the other side, in the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong had also learned that Qian Renxue had been captured.
In the Elder Palace.
At this moment, the High Priest Qian Daoliu, Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, the six Elder Priests, and many Titled Douluo Elders had all gathered.
There was the faction led by Qian Daoliu of the Six-Winged Angel Clan, and the faction led by Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong.
The two factions were in dispute in the Elder Palace.
They were arguing whether or not to send people to Ai City to rescue Qian Renxue.
Bibi Dong sneered: “Heh, Qian Renxue is now Ai City’s bargaining chip, her life will definitely not be in danger.
The Tiandou Empire will naturally send people to rescue Qian Renxue, and we don’t need to send anyone to rescue her!” “If our Spirit Hall people intervene to rescue her at this time and the Tiandou Empire finds out, won’t it make the Heaven Dou Imperial Family suspect Qian Renxue’s identity!” “If Qian Renxue’s identity is exposed, our plan will be completely ruined!” “I do not agree to rescuing Qian Renxue!” “Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue is your daughter!” Qian Daoliu’s face was full of imposing authority, and then he said: “As far as I know, that boy in Ai City is only six years old.
How can he know proper measure at such a young age?
How can you be so sure he won’t kill Xiao Xue!” “Even if Xiao Xue is not in danger of losing her life, she has still fallen into the hands of the enemy.
We don’t know what kind of treatment she will receive!” “We can’t wait for the Tiandou Empire, I won’t allow Xiao Xue to stay in Ai City for another moment!” “Elder Jiang Mo, Elder Thousand Jun, Elder Guangling, you three immediately go to Ai City in secret.
You must rescue the Master and kill Ivan!” Qian Daoliu no longer argued with Bibi Dong and directly issued the order.
“Yes!
High Priest!” Seeing that Qian Daoliu had sent out three Elder Priests, Bibi Dong said no more.
The Supreme Pontiff had no authority to command the Elder Priests.
She couldn’t stop it even if she wanted to.
In terms of power, the High Priest Qian Daoliu was above her, Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong.
“Hmph!” Bibi Dong snorted coldly and left with her people.
Meanwhile, the Fifth Priest Guangling Titled Douluo, the Sixth Priest Thousand Catty Douluo, and the Seventh Priest Jiang Mo Titled Douluo, three peak Level 96 Titled Douluo, rushed towards Ai City.
They were full of confidence.
Although they had heard that Ai City seemed to have two powerhouses with Titled Douluo combat strength, in their opinion, they were likely just low-level Titled Douluo.
For them, high-level fighting low-level Titled Douluo was easy, wasn’t it?
Returning to Ai City.
Ivan was preparing to go to the Hunting Soul Forest to obtain a spirit ring.
He ordered Xiahou Dun to stay and guard Ai City, and had Lü Bu accompany him.
“Qian Renxue, you come with me too.” “Mm,” Qian Renxue replied indifferently.
Ivan said: “Hey, I say, do you want to disguise yourself?” Qian Renxue said coldly: “No need, not many people have seen me.” “Alright, let’s go.” Ivan, Lü Bu, and Qian Renxue got into a carriage and headed towards the nearby Hunting Soul Forest.
