Chapter 616: Choice

The wall collapsed.

At this time, there was chaos outside Tianhun City.

Roars, roars, shouts and roars of artillery fire were mixed together.

The Tianhun Palace was silent.

In the palace, Weilin sat there quietly, seemingly peaceful. But there seemed to be a layer of dark clouds around him.

Following his gaze, the table in front of him was filled with the current battle situation outside the city. It was recording the point where the body Douluo self-destructed, the body sect fled, and the Tianhun reinforcements were almost dead.

"Your Majesty... Tianhun City can no longer be defended."

Lu Chengkun stood beside him, his head lowered, his voice dry.

Their biggest trump card and reliance was Du Bu Si.

As for Lu Chengkun, although they were all level 98 Super Douluo, if they really fought, one Du Bu Si could be as good as ten of him. Can he resist the attack that the former couldn't resist?

Therefore, once Du Bu Si died, there was no suspense in this battle.

The Tianhun Empire was doomed to fail.

The atmosphere between the king and his minister was stagnant, and they looked at each other in silence.

The outcome of this battle was beyond the king and his minister's expectations.

Originally, they thought that with the powerful strength of Du Bu Si and the Body Sect, plus the assistance of the Heavenly Soul Empire, it should not be a problem to defeat the thousand-man soul guide group of the Sun and Moon Empire.

But they never expected that the body Douluo Du Bu Si, who was highly expected by the king and his ministers, would be forced to self-destruct his soul core by the soul guide who was in their eyes.

"Heavenly Soul City, is it over..."

After a long time, Wei Lin sighed and closed his eyes.

He wanted to become the master of the revival of the Heavenly Soul Empire, but unexpectedly became the king of the fallen country.

Who can understand the pain in his heart?

"Your Majesty, let's retreat."

"Please leave immediately and follow me to leave Tianhun City."

Lu Chengkun said in a deep voice, "The Sun and Moon Soul Guide Corps is attacking the city. With the advantage of soul guides, the defenders in the city can only hold out for a quarter of an hour at most. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

"..."

Weilin fell silent again.

After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Leave? Where to go? Where can I go?"

"Even top masters like the original Douluo can't withstand the power of the Sun Moon Empire's soul guide, let alone others."

"Even if I leave Tianhun City today, what can I do? I can escape for a while, but can I escape forever? Su Luoheng's target is me, and I can't escape by just hiding."

"Mr. Lu, you and I know that since the meeting with Su Luoheng five days ago, I have no way out."

Lu Chengkun took a deep breath and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to save your life first. Only if you are alive, there will be hope. There is still a chance to retake Tianhun City."

"The Douluo Empire and the Xingluo Empire have sent rescuers. Our Three Kingdoms Alliance will definitely defeat the Sun Moon Empire again like four thousand years ago!"

Weilin shook his head, "The Three Kingdoms Alliance will no longer exist. We no longer have allies."

The so-called allies are relationships based on common interests and their strengths are equal. Once the gap between them is too big and they lose their corresponding value, the covenant will become invalid.

The Three Kingdoms Alliance is a community of interests formed under the increasing pressure from the Sun and Moon Empire.

It seems to be a whole, but in fact, the contradictions and rifts between them have always existed. The countries have their own ulterior motives and are not ironclad.

In general, the alliance is essentially a stopgap measure for the three empires to resist the Sun and Moon Empire, and it depends on the value they have.

Now, the Tianhun Empire, which has lost the Tianhun City and the original Douluo, has lost its bargaining chips and cannot provide value in the Three Kingdoms Alliance. It has even become a burden.

Let me ask, can Douling and Xingluo Empire carry such a burden as the Tianhun Empire?

It is good not to add insult to injury.

"I am the master of the Tianhun Empire."

Weilin slowly opened his eyes, and his face became calmer.

"To linger on, to be chased around like a stray dog, and finally to die like an ant without dignity. This is not the way an emperor should die. Since I am destined to die, I must leave a decent death."

"Your Majesty..." Lu Chengkun's face changed slightly.

"Old Lu, there is no need to persuade me anymore."

Weilin waved his hand, signaling Lu Chengkun to be silent.

"This is the fate of my Tianhun Empire. Since we have lost this battle, I will accept my fate. Pass the order down, there is no need to make unnecessary resistance, let him in, I will be here, waiting for him to come."

Weilin's voice was very soft, but the tone was sonorous and powerful.

Lu Chengkun opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. Because he knew that no one could change his mind about what his majesty had decided.

"Yes..."

"Also, after this, Elder Lu does not need to report back. Just go to the East Palace and take the prince away from Tianhun City."

At this point, Weilin paused and continued: "Whether you go to the Douling Empire, the Xingluo Empire, or the Sun and Moon Empire. Whether you hide your identity or change your family, everything is up to you. In short, live well and don't think about revenge."

"I can see clearly that the unification of the Sun and Moon Empire is an inevitable trend. The wheel of the times is rolling forward. No one can stop it. The Tianhun Empire can't do it, and the Xingluo and Douling Empires can't do it.

"My son, although he is not ambitious, I will always leave a trace of blood for the Tianhun royal family." Weilin took a long breath, slowly closed his eyes, and his expression was slightly tired and vicissitudes.

A new era is coming, and they will eventually become the dust of history.

Lü Chengkun opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally, he sighed. He understood that today's farewell would be a farewell forever.

"Your Majesty... take care."

Lü Chengkun turned and walked out.

"Also, after I die, you don't have to collect my body."

"Minister, obey your order..."

Lü Chengkun paused, and finally, stepped out resolutely.

In the empty palace, only Yu Weilin was there. He looked into the distance through the window, his eyes flickering, his expression complicated and confused.

"Su Luoheng, I'm waiting for you."

[……]

Outside, the sky suddenly darkened.

Dark clouds, thunder and lightning, howling winds.

"Boom--"

A deafening roar echoed in the sky, and for a moment, it was hard to tell whether it was thunder or the bombing sound of the soul guide cannon outside the city.

Anyway, after a violent shock, the city wall collapsed, and countless soldiers screamed and fell off the wall, smashing into meat paste...

Accompanied by a deafening roar, bean-sized raindrops fell down. The heavy rain washed the bright red between the broken walls, forming a pool of blood, which was shocking.

As Tianhun City was broken, the people in the city were already scared and rushed to the outskirts of the city frantically. The shrill screams and cries mixed together, one after another in the heavy rain.

The whole Tianhun City was shrouded in a tragic and sad atmosphere.
