The palace was ultimately the king's territory!
There was the Shadow Pavilion, the eunuch faction led by Li Chenglian. There was also the commander of the Imperial Guards, Hei Ningqi, who was completely loyal to the king!
Of course, the Imperial Guards were not impenetrable. Zhi Li had bribed some generals over the years. But they were not very useful, because the commander, Hei Ningqi, had complete control over the Imperial Guards.
Once he entered the palace, Zhi Li felt like he was being watched at all times.
Therefore, as the regent, Zhi Li was unwilling to deal with political affairs in the palace.
But today, he led the generals of the Supreme Command, the high officials of the cabinet, and dozens of dukes into the great hall of the palace!
Guarding the great hall of the palace were the loyal Imperial Guards of the king. No matter what Zhi Li discussed, he would quickly send a letter to Tianshui City via a hawk. But he did not care. Today, he had officially challenged the king.
Today, he wanted to use this opportunity to issue a final challenge to Søren!
After receiving Tuling Duo's letter in blood, Zhi Li said, "Madam, please follow me into the palace."
Then, he helped Tuling Duo up and entered the palace.
The surviving warriors of the Tully family outside were still kneeling on the ground.
…
Zhi Li helped Tuling Duo into the great hall!
Inside, the civil and military officials of the Raging Wave Kingdom and most of the dukes were present. There were more than a hundred of them.
Zhi Li came to a seat beside the throne and sat down. This was the seat of the regent crown prince.
"The day before yesterday, something outrageous happened in the kingdom! Due to political disagreements, the dukes of the kingdom were assassinated, "Zhi Li shouted coldly.
Of course, he was changing the concept. Tuling Yang was not a duke for now, but only the heir.
"Today, Søren can assassinate Tuling Yang. Tomorrow, he can assassinate everyone here." Zhi Li said coldly, "To trample on the kingdom's bottom line like this, to be so arrogant and despotic, to act so unscrupulously, are you going to condone it?"
"Don't think that you'll be fine just because you're sitting on the fence. Every single one of you signed the agreement to ban Søren." Zhi Li continued, "With Søren's vengeful personality, even if you guys are on the fence today, do you think he will let you off in the future?"
"I don't care what your final choice is, but I, Zhi Li, will summon the last soldier under my command to crusade against Søren. If the army isn't enough, I'll go to the battlefield myself. "Zhi Li shouted," In short, I won't rest until Søren is dead! "
At this moment, Duke Turingtuo immediately stepped forward and announced in a clear voice, "The 300,000 strong Dragon Guards will follow His Royal Highness Zhi Li's order to move out and attack Søren!"
Zhi Li said, "I've already informed the Western Liang Kingdom and the Yan Empire through the Dragon Temple. They strongly condemn Søren's crimes and firmly support our crusade. So, I've ordered the Northern Legion and Southwestern Legion to temporarily leave their defensive line and attack Søren together. If this villain doesn't come out, the kingdom won't be at peace! "
Immediately, the Commander of the Southwestern Legion, Jian Ze, and the Commander of the Northern Legion, Chu Ye, stepped forward and bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Southwestern Legion's main purpose was to defend against the Yelan Principality and the Western Liang Kingdom. At its peak, it had more than 300,000 soldiers, more than the Dragon Guards at that time. At that time, the Southwestern Legion's commander was Turingtuo, while the Dragon Guards' temporary commander was Count Sauron.
Twenty years ago, Sauron and Turingtuo led hundreds of thousands of soldiers to besiege the Yelan Principality and save the Rouran City, Asmo.
That battle had almost annihilated the Yelan Principality and allowed the Rouran Province to belong to the Kingdom of Wrath Waves. Turin Tuo had also been promoted to the First Commander of the Kingdom and also the Commander of the Dragon Guard Legion because of this military merit.
Since then, the Southwestern Legion began to shrink, and now only had 150,000 soldiers.
The Northern Legion's main purpose was to defend against the Yan Empire, but decades ago, the two countries signed a peace treaty that forbade too many soldiers to be stationed at the border.
So, the Northern Legion's current strength was less than 200,000 soldiers.
The Southwestern Legion's commander, Jian Ze, was the younger brother of Marquis Jian Yong, the dean of Royal City Academy. He could also be considered a direct descendant of Zhi Li.
Unfortunately, the Southwestern Legion was where Turingtuo had stayed, and the middle and high-ranking officers were all his old friends and disciples. So, although Jian Ze was the commander of the legion in name, the entire legion was still in Turingtuo's hands.
"Your Majesty is willing to lead 100,000 Southwestern Legion to attack Søren."
"Your Majesty is willing to lead 100,000 Northern Legion to attack Søren."
Now, the kingdom's three great legions had already sent 500,000 soldiers to attack Søren.
Zhi Li looked at the feudal vassals and said, "What about you? This time, the royal family is fighting for the interests of you feudal vassals! "
The feudal vassals snorted inwardly when they heard this.
The one who benefits the most from killing Søren is obviously you, Zhi Li, but you say you are fighting for our interests.
However, Søren's actions this time had indeed crossed the feudal vassals' bottom line. It would have been fine if you had gone to assassinate Zhi Li, but why did you have to assassinate Tuli Yang? If you do this, how will the feudal vassals be safe in the future? You are the public enemy of the feudal vassals!
Moreover, Søren was currently facing the encirclement of 100,000 Rock Demons on the sea. On land, Zhi Li had already mobilized 500,000 troops to attack.
Even a deity would not be able to turn the situation around. They would definitely die!
This time, they had really killed a tiger!
Søren's defeat was already decided, and Zhi Li's ascension to the throne was already a foregone conclusion. If they did not send troops today and were remembered by Zhi Li, it would be an endless source of trouble in the future.
Immediately, the Ironwood City Lord, who had been harmed by Søren, said, "I am willing to lead 5,000 troops to attack Søren."
City Lord Qichi said, "I am also willing to lead 5,000 troops to join the royal army to attack Søren!"
Don't look down on these 5,000 people. These two feudal vassals' territories were small, and these 5,000 people were already doing their best.
Then, Marquis Fu E stepped out and said, "My Reverence Flame City will send 10,000 troops to attack Søren!"
"My Rest City will send 6,000 troops to attack Søren!"
Next, every feudal vassal stepped out and received the imperial decree to attack Søren.
Finally, the governors of the major provinces stepped out and received the imperial decree to attack Søren.
In the end, the kingdom's three major armies sent 500,000 troops, Zhi Li's residence sent 10,000, the 19 feudal vassals sent 130,000, and the ten governors sent 150,000.
The few major powers added up to a total of 800,000 troops!
This 800,000 troops was more than half of the Raging Wave Kingdom's military strength.
Zhi Li personally became the commander-in-chief of the 800,000 troops, with Tu Lingtuo as his deputy.
Under Zhi Li's painstaking planning and Tu Lingtuo's superb acting skills. The world's attack on Søren had finally become a reality.
This was the scene that Zhi Li had always dreamed of!
Tu Lingtuo knelt on the floor of the hall, her body trembling with excitement.
This was the first time she tasted the power to call the wind and summon the rain.
It could be said that half of the world's attack on Søren was due to her efforts.
She was deeply intoxicated by this feeling. It made her feel that the world was really like a game of chess. As long as one's footwork was exquisite, a small chess piece could change the entire situation. The death of a mere Tuli Yang could actually put Sauron to death.
One must know that a few months ago, Søren had beaten Zhi Li to a pulp. At that time, he could be said to be at the peak of his power!
Of course, Tu Lingtuo still hadn't figured out the primary and secondary relationships here.
The reason why the world's attack on Søren could be created was because the Rock Demon army of 100,000 had attacked Søren, completely cutting off Søren's path of retreat and his source of wealth.
After seeing Søren reveal his weakness and defeat, Tu Liyang's death successfully triggered the situation of the world's attack on Søren.
At this moment, the generals, feudal vassals, and governors present signed the declaration of war.
After the last person signed, two copies of the declaration were sent back to Zhi Li.
The declaration of war was announced to the world.
The declaration of war was addressed to Søren alone. It was equivalent to the entire Raging Wave Kingdom declaring war on Søren.
These two declarations were signed by almost all the ruling classes of the Raging Wave Kingdom. It was truly the world's attack on Søren.
"Søren, you're finished!"
Zhi Li held the two declarations in his hands. He closed his eyes and reveled in it for a moment. Then, he stood up and said, "All of you, go back and gather the troops. The army will gather near Fengdu in one and a half months! After that, the 800,000 troops will advance eastward and eliminate Søren! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone shouted in unison!
"This will be the final battle!" Zhi Li muttered to himself.
…
Tianshui City's waters, on the flagship of Søren's fleet.
At this moment, only Søren and Tuli Yang were in the secret cabin. Princess Jung Yeon and Zhuang Zhixuan were guarding outside the door.
Tuli Yang was lying there motionless. His ugly face was expressionless, and his eyes were dull.
His entire person was like a living puppet.
"Eros, can you save him?" Søren asked.
Eros said, "It depends on the specific situation. If his brain is poisoned, then I can't do anything."
Søren said, "It shouldn't be. Because his walking, eating, and moving are all normal."
Eros said, "I hope so. It's just that some of the brain's nerves are blocked."
Søren took out a dagger and cut the top of Tuli Yang's head. Blood flowed out.
Soran cut his finger, and the blood of both of them mixed together.
Immediately, Eros's energy tentacles drilled into Tuli Yang's brain through the blood.
Like a computer scanning, Eros checked Tuli Yang's brain.
"Master, I've checked. Tuli Yang's entire brain is healthy. There's no fatal damage." Eros said, "Also, the so-called Soul Breaking Water poison doesn't exist at all. I thought that if poison was used, it would be impossible to poison part of the brain to death and leave part intact. Even the Divine Dragon Sacred Hall did not have such a deep understanding of the so-called extracting of a person's soul. Tuli Yang's nerves were indeed blocked. Although the people of the Elf Continent did it very accurately, there were still some mistakes. That's why Tuli Yang's eyes still roll out and occasionally have seizures. "
Søren said, "So he can be saved?"
Eros said, "For others, it's impossible to save him. But for me, it's a piece of cake! Master, you drugged Tuli Yang! "
Søren took out a medicine and poured it into Tuli Yang's mouth.
A moment later, Tuli Yang was completely unconscious.
Then, Eros's energy tentacles became the most precise scalpel. Little by little, it restored Tuli Yang's blocked nerves.
He healed them one by one, and every movement was incomparably precise.
After a full hour, Tuli Yang's blocked nerves were completely restored.
Eros released a slight electric current and hit him lightly.
Instantly, the unconscious Tuli Yang's body twitched.
"It's done." Eros said, "Master, you can wake him up now."
Søren took out the antidote and put it under Tuli Yang's nose.
The pungent smell of medicine suddenly drilled into Tuli Yang's nostrils.
"Ahhh!" Tuli Yang sneezed a few times. Then, he slowly opened his eyes.
His originally scattered pupils gradually focused and regained their light.
Then, all the memories and emotions surged into his brain.
"B * tch, I'll kill you. Zhi Li, I'll kill you …" Then, like a mad demon, Tuli Yang suddenly jumped up from the bed and pounced at Søren, attacking crazily.
The first thing he wanted to do after waking up was to kill Tu Ling Duo and Zhi Li. It was obvious how deep the hatred in his heart was.
Søren quickly dodged and then used his mental power to shout silently, "Tuli Yang, calm down."
At the same time, Jung Yeon quickly rushed in and pointed the scabbard at the back of Tuli Yang's neck.
Instantly, Tuli Yang was completely frozen on the spot. He could not move.
The blood red in Tuli Yang's eyes gradually faded. The madness on his face also gradually calmed down.
His eyes regained clarity. He realized that the people in front of him were not Tu Ling Duo and Zhi Li, but Søren and Princess Jung Yeon.
Instantly, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Why was he here? Didn't he fall into the hands of that adulterous couple, Zhi Li and Tu Ling Duo? Wasn't he definitely going to die?
Could it be that Søren had sent people to rescue him?
However, he did not rejoice at all. Facing Søren, the first thing he felt was endless pain and guilt.
Looking at Søren, Tuli Yang's tears fell continuously.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Princess Jung Yeon released Tuli Yang's restraints.
Søren went forward and patted Tuli Yang's shoulder lightly. He did not say anything or comfort him.
After crying for a long time, Tuli Yang suddenly knelt before Søren and kowtowed a few times. Then, he said, "Your Excellency Søren, thank you for saving me. But no matter what you want to do, I can't do anything anymore. I'm going back to King City now. I'm going to tear Tu Ling Duo and Zhi Li into pieces. "
There was nothing sadder than a dead heart. At this time, Tuli Yang had nothing left to live for.
Even if he came back to life, his first thought was to kill Tu Ling Duo and then die with her.
Søren said, "Then what about your Luan Yang City? You don't care anymore? "
Tuli Yang said, "A person like me is no longer fit to inherit Luan Yang City. A person like me should not even live in this world. "
Tu Ling Duo had hurt him not only emotionally, but also his worldview and outlook on life.
Now, Tuli Yang's confidence had been completely destroyed. He was starting to doubt the meaning of his life in this world.
Therefore, he was now seeking death and wanted to kill Tu Ling Duo.
"What if I said your father is still alive?" Søren said.
Hearing this, Tuli Yang's eyes were filled with disbelief. He said with a trembling voice, "Re … really?"
Before Tu Ling Duo, Tuli Yang's spiritual support was his father, Tuli Wen.
After Tuli Wen was captured by Søren, Tuli Yang had sought out Søren three times.
The first time, he agreed to pay an astronomical compensation. The second time, he agreed to cede an island on the sea. The third time, he was willing to use himself in exchange for his father's return.
However, Søren was busy and had no time to care about Tuli Yang. He didn't even see him and sent him away.
After Tu Ling Duo married Tuli Yang, love became another pillar of support in his heart.
Tu Ling Duo's existence, to a certain extent, filled the void of Tuli Yang's father.
Because Tuli Yang was short and ugly, like a monster, he felt extremely inferior and insecure. He had a strong sense of dependence.
Previously, he relied on his father. Later, he relied on Tu Ling Duo.
On the surface, it looked like he was taking care of Tu Ling Duo and protecting her. But in reality, he was extremely dependent on his wife. Therefore, even when Tu Ling Duo was paralyzed in a wheelchair, he was still infatuated with her.
After Tu Ling Duo's betrayal, all his spiritual support had collapsed.
But now, Søren actually said that his father was still alive. How could he not be overjoyed?
His father, Tu Ling Duo Ling Duo, was that warm and strongest spiritual support.
"Zhi Li said that he, he already sent someone to kill my father," Tuli Yang said with a trembling voice.
Søren said, "The person he killed was fake. It was a substitute I arranged. Your father is still alive and well."
Instantly, Tuli Yang's short body started to tremble. Then, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "Søren, please let me see my father. I will do anything you want me to do!"
