Chapter 327 Surrender (skip)
A few more months passed quietly, and the army of the Sun-Moon Empire completed the exploration of the soul-guiding metal veins near the far north.

The Soul Master Corps of the Sun-Moon Empire once again launched an attack on the Sky Soul Empire, whose territory was less than two-thirds of its original size.

Because of the need to mine the ring metal veins, the Sun-Moon Empire slowed down its offensive speed a lot, changing its rapid push policy in the Star Luo Empire to fighting and governing at the same time.

The pace of the attack slowed down significantly, but it caused even greater waves on the mainland.

During this period, the capital of the Tianhun Empire has been moving eastward as the battle line of the Sun and Moon Empire advances. The capital of the Tianhun Empire has been moved to Tianling City, which is located on the border between the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire.

At this time, the Tianhun Empire was almost unable to suppress the surrender talks in the remaining territories.

During this period of time, the three policies of the Sun-Moon Empire after conquering the territory, namely, free awakening of martial spirits, cracking down on illegal nobles, and providing compulsory education, have spread throughout the entire continent.

Unlike the three major empires, the Sun-Moon Empire really cares about human resources. Even in the small villages hidden in the deep mountains and forests, there are soul guides who go there specifically to perform martial soul awakening.

These three policies directly attracted the vast majority of civilians in the three empires who had no voice. Even in the territories of the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire, many refugees fled into the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Now the civilians in the current territory of the Tianhun Empire are waiting for the evil Tianhun royal family above their heads to be eliminated, and then they will welcome the royal teacher.

During this period, the Shrek Academy, unwilling to give up, wanted to use the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago as an example to show its bad intentions, but it had no effect, and even caused the Shrek Academy to become extremely bad.

The civilians were not sure whether the Sun-Moon Empire had good intentions or not. They only knew that the soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire were willing to awaken their martial souls for free, and that the Sun-Moon Empire would provide them with financial assistance as long as there were children in their families who had awakened their soul power.

In contrast, in the former Tianhun Empire, not only did one have to spend money to awaken the martial soul, but the key point was that the children who awakened the soul power were forced to sign a contract to sell themselves.

The civilians knew very well who was not doing human work, so when they heard that the Spirit Hall did the same thing as the Sun Moon Empire ten thousand years ago, but was destroyed by the Shrek Academy and the three empires.

On the surface, they didn’t dare to scold Shrek Academy, but in private they had already cursed Shrek Academy.

The old nobles were constantly being eliminated by the Sun-Moon Empire, and Shrek Academy received less and less funding. In addition, the Star Dou Great Forest now completely banned Shrek Academy students from entering to hunt souls.

Now it is hated by the majority of civilians. For a time, Shrek Academy suddenly began to decline. The meals provided in the cafeteria became worse and worse, and the soul beast meat provided in the cafeteria was decreasing.

The disciples of the outer courtyard began to withdraw in large numbers. Everyone could see that after the Sun-Moon Empire unified the continent, Shrek Academy would never have its current status.

Tiandou City, once the capital of the Tiandou Empire and the Tianhun Empire, has now been designated by Orange as the communication hub of the army, just like the original Xingluo City.

Inside the largest main hall in the palace, Orange was currently busy handling government affairs.

“Marshal, someone from the Sky Soul Empire is coming!”

Hearing Keke addressing him so formally, Juzi looked up and saw Keke standing in front of the palace in the lobby, with Wang Lin standing next to her. Behind Wang Lin followed two men covered in black robes.

Noticing that Orange was looking at him, Wang Lin turned sideways. The shorter man in black robe behind him took a few steps forward and knelt down in the hall.

The man took off his hood, revealing a very beautiful face. He fell to the ground, posing in a very low posture. A clear female voice resounded throughout the hall.

“Princess Vina of the Sinful Country pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen!”

“No need to be polite!” Vina’s sudden appearance gave Orange a big surprise. She put down the government affairs in her hands, stood up, and asked, “Why are you here?”

Vina did not stand up, but just raised her head and answered: “Surrender to live!” At this point in the war, the Tianhun royal family has realized that what they should consider now is not victory, but how to survive after the war.

The outcome of a desperate resistance had already been demonstrated by the Xing Luo Empire several months ago.

The most important thing is that, unlike the Xingluo Empire, if the Xingluo royal family had chosen to move east, the Douling Empire might have accepted them.

But it is impossible for the Tianhun royal family to be accepted by the Douling Empire. If the Xingluo crown lineage is a successful case of usurping the throne.

Then the Tianhun royal family is a half-successful case of usurping the throne, because the Tiandou Empire was divided, Tianhun only seized half, and the other half is still protected by the former Tiandou royal family.

The good Tiandou has become Douling. How could the Douling Empire accommodate the Tianhun royal family, the culprit that caused all this?

So now the only way for the Tianhun royal family to survive is to surrender, so that at least the Xuelian lineage can be preserved.

“Brother, send me back!”

At this time, Long Aotian, who was standing behind Wang Lin, finally couldn’t bear it anymore and couldn’t help but speak out.

“it is good!”

Wang Lin nodded, his mind flashed, he glanced at Juzi, and directly sent Long Aotian back to the Body Sect. Inside the hall, Juzi asked Vina to sit up and discuss the terms of surrender.

It was called a discussion, but it was mainly Orange who proposed the conditions, and Vina nodded and agreed. The current Tianhun royal family really did not have the capital to propose conditions.

After everything was discussed, Vina asked to step back.

Just like before, this time Wang Lin still took them away, but without Long Aotian’s company.

On the way, Vina lowered her head and couldn’t help asking, “Is it impossible for Aotian and I?”

“It’s impossible. You made the choice yourself!” Wang Lin said directly. Vina approached Long Aotian with political purposes.

As for feelings, Wang Lin didn’t think there were many. Now he was thinking about Long Aotian. What had he done before?

……

Three days later, the gate of Tianling City was completely opened. Wei Tian of the Tianhun Empire, along with the royal family and ministers, walked out of the city gate and formally surrendered to the Sun and Moon Empire.

At this point, the Tianhun Empire, one of the three major empires after the Xingluo Empire, also declared its demise, leaving only the final Douling Empire to unify the Sun and Moon Empire.

The trend is set. At this time, everyone on the continent knows that the unification of the Sun-Moon Empire has become inevitable.

The Douling Empire, which was hiding in the easternmost part of the continent, had no borders with the Sun and Moon Empire at all and was the weakest of the three empires.

During this period, Shrek Academy once again began to advocate neutrality, and the Sun-Moon Empire did not comment on this.

Instead, he planned to wait until the Douluo Empire was also destroyed before dealing with the affairs of Shrek Academy. At that time, only the Sun and Moon Empire would be left on the continent. He would then see if Shrek Academy would continue to claim to be neutral.
