The sudden collapse of the palace's defensive array caused those who were fighting on the outside to panic in an instant.

Their mission was to defend the palace, but now that the palace's defenses had collapsed, they had no idea what to do.

Should we continue to hold on to the defensive line, or should we retreat to the palace and resist?

Because they are Qinwang armies in various places, they actually don't have a complete organization.

Instead, they each held a defensive area, and the ninth-level soul masters in the palace helped them stop the attacks above the Title Douluo, so that they could deal with the large forces of the Holy Spirit Sect with peace of mind.

But now everything is useless, and the palace defense array has been breached.

The ninth-level soul masters were too busy to take care of themselves, and after losing the big array, how could they be able to block the Holy Spirit Sect's Title Douluo, who had several times more people than them?

Therefore, as long as a few Titled Douluo freed up their hands and entered the defense line they maintained, their death toll would skyrocket in an instant.

Continuing to hold on is just meaningless perseverance.

How could the palace defense array suddenly collapse?

There was no warning at all, huh?

Huo Yuhao, who was in the middle of the defense line, didn't have the energy to investigate what was going on, because his current situation was precarious.

"Don't mess up, everyone, the battlefield situation has appeared in your minds, now I will command, retreat into the palace in an orderly manner, once the defense line collapses, everyone will not survive! You have personally learned the methods of the evil soul master! ”

After realizing his current situation, Huo Yuhao immediately chose to maximize his value in just a few seconds.

He used Psychic Sharing to directly connect all the perimeter defenders, acting as a temporary commander.

As Huo Yuhao said, when the two armies are fighting and retreating, there will be very few people who can survive.

But if they retreat in an orderly manner, most of them will survive, even if they have already shown defeat.

Perhaps it was because they were shocked by the ability to suddenly appear in their spiritual sea with a clear map, or because Huo Yuhao hooked up their fear of the evil soul master, they really stabilized the situation that was about to collapse completely.

The situation on the battlefield is unobstructed, and even if the Qinwang army wants to retreat, it will not turn around like a headless fly.

At the very least, they will take the time to plan a good retreat route for themselves based on the detailed map that comes to mind.

But before that, they must first stabilize the situation in front of them before they have room to escape.

Anyway, no matter what, Huo Yuhao's goal was achieved.

He didn't care what these people thought, Huo Yuhao calmly gave orders one by one, allowing King Qin's army to retreat to the imperial city slowly and orderly.

On the way to retreat, there would be casualties from time to time, but in general, Huo Yuhao still managed most of them to return to the imperial city safely.

……

Time goes back to before the Great Defensive Array was breached.

Xu Tianran explained to Tangerine on the way to the convenience to inform his people to destroy the defense, Xu Tianran didn't want to continue to wait.

The emptiness of the palace is unprecedented, this is the best time, the only problem is that Emperor Ming seems to know that there are traitors in the court, so not only did he not receive any news.

Moreover, the Ming Emperor also placed all the ministers above the court and did not let anyone interfere in the defense.

This is not spying on them, Xu Tianran can't find any reasonable reason.

Late is changing, Xu Tianran has already done this, and now he has no hesitation, even if he risks being exposed, he will destroy the defense and master the Sun and Moon Empire as soon as possible.

Like Xu Tianran, at this point, Tangerine has no way out, she must help Xu Tianran wholeheartedly.

The Sun Moon Palace is very large, divided into two cities, the inner and outer cities, the inner city where the daily court meeting is located, and the defensive front line of the palace array is the outer city.

Of course, it is impossible for the defensive array to wrap exactly the strategic space of the imperial city without leaving a little behind, so the tentacle range of the defensive array is actually farther away.

The defense forces of King Qin's army and Mingdu fought within the tentacles.

And the person who controls the great array is above the imperial city.

One is within the reach of the outside of the big array, and the other is completely inside the big array, controlling the big array.

The palace's defense array is maintained by a senior soul master every year, and it just so happens that the work of maintaining the palace array is the one that he has maintained the most time after Xu Tianran was completely paralyzed.

At that time, Emperor Ming's health was still very healthy, and he was also very sad that his son suffered this catastrophe, after all, Xu Tianran won his heart, and he was very satisfied with both his character and ability.

But Xu Tianran suffered from this catastrophe.

Emperor Ming has always regretted that he did not protect his son in the first place, but it has happened, and there is nothing he can do.

At that time, Xu Tianran had been sinking for a long time, and maintaining the palace's defensive array was the only thing he was interested in after he initially walked out of the room.

It does take a lot of energy and concentration to maintain the big array, and Emperor Ming thought that Xu Tianran would use this as a way to vent his suppressed emotions, so he let him go.

Later, Xu Tianran regained his usual self-confidence, and Emperor Ming was happy for a long time, and handed over many things in the court to Xu Tianran to do, and did not cancel Xu Tianran's status as the crown prince.

After Xu Tianran regained the authority of the crown prince, he still did not give up the responsibility of maintaining the big array.

Emperor Ming did not have the slightest doubt about this, since Xu Tianran regained his self-confidence after coming into contact with this matter, Emperor Ming naturally would not have any restrictions on him in this matter.

Xu Tianran likes to maintain it, anyway, he can let people maintain it again in the future.

It is precisely because of this experience that Xu Tianran has a deep study of the defense array, where is the core of the array, where is weak, and where the attack can make the big array fatal with one blow.

Xu Tianran was very smart, he knew that it was impossible to do anything with the palace's defensive array, so he was not stupid enough to do anything when it was being maintained.

Mastering the weakness of the big array, it is not so difficult to break the formation from the inside.

Therefore, Xu Tianran's subordinates immediately pinpointed the fatal point of the big array.

There was a ninth-level soul master guarding here, but he was also fighting and didn't put all his energy into the guardian array.

Now that there is a shortage of manpower, how can he stand idly by.

Anyway, the imperial city is full of his own people, how could he, who was guarded by the big array, be attacked by someone.

But what he didn't expect was that the attack did come from behind him.

There are many ninth-level soul master trigger-type soul guides, and generally speaking, it is impossible to be fatal by a single blow.

But he did plant it all at once today, and Xu Tianran's subordinates are not idle.

After he killed the ninth-level soul master who controlled this key node, according to the trick Xu Tianran told him, he quickly broke the entire defensive array, and the previous scene appeared.

After doing all this, he hid again, just as he silently sneaked behind the ninth-level soul master without alerting him.

This person is a top killer.

……

Because the palace's defenses were suddenly defeated, even the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Sect didn't react at first, giving Huo Yuhao time to stabilize the army's morale and retreat calmly.

Xu Tianran acted very suddenly, and he didn't notify anyone, so don't say that these miscellaneous soldiers, even the evil soul masters above the Title Douluo who have been desperately attacking and defending the big array have not reacted.

After reacting, they didn't have time to take care of the miscellaneous soldiers below, so they hurriedly rushed in and chopped the emperor Lao'er was the right way.

After all, killing a few miscellaneous soldiers can have the credit of killing the Ming Emperor first?

They can tell which is more important than the other.

Huo Yuhao, who returned to the imperial city, finally had a chance to breathe, and with the strong imperial city as a foothold, he could at least ease Qin Wangjun's anxious mood.

Now the palace can't be defended, but they have to fight desperately if they want to live, and the imperial city should be able to hold it for at least a while.

"Yuhao, what should I do now?"

The teammates who had been recovering in the imperial city were anxious when they saw Huo Yuhao returning here safely, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

They had seen the sudden shattering of the great array, and they had not seen an extraordinary attack.

Now that the palace is broken, the situation is critical.

If you want to live, you must make a choice now.

"It should be done by a high-level traitor, he doesn't know what means he used to break the defense of the palace, he must be inside."

Huo Yuhao quickly analyzed the current situation.

Huo Yuhao didn't make a decision for the time being, although the situation had become like this, but there was still one last line of defense in the inner city of the imperial city, and there would be at least a little more to resist the attack.

However, the defense of the inner city is not as strong as that of the entire imperial city, and the time it can hold on is very limited, so today's outcome is already doomed.

"The hateful traitor actually united with the evil soul master to besiege the palace, and now that the palace is completely lost, we may be able to escape, but Ming Du doesn't know what kind of hell we will fall into."

Huo Yuhao's words made Xiao Hongchen's eyes turn red instantly, although he had long known that there were traitors in the empire.

But now that the palace is lost, he completely understands that the Sun and Moon Empire he represents has lost, just because of this traitor, he never thought that the Sun and Moon Empire would lose before.

Mingdu was about to be brought under the rule of the Evil Soul Master, and Xiao Hongchen didn't dare to think about what would happen here.

"What will happen in the Ming Dynasty, none of us can stop it, if the Ming Emperor has no arrangements in the palace, then the outcome of this battle has already been declared a failure."

"But that doesn't mean we don't have a chance to turn things around."

Huo Yuhao said very calmly.

"Yuhao, what did you say?"

Xiao Hongchen seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, his eyes stared straight at Huo Yuhao, expecting him to create a miracle and save Mingdu.

"Your Majesty has arranged such a small number of guards by his side, which shows that there are many forces to pursue the Douluo Alliance, and we will now break through the siege to find them, and unite the forces of the three soul master groups to return to Mingdu."

"It is difficult for the Holy Spirit Sect to fully control Mingdu in such a short period of time, and we will have a chance to take back Mingdu at that time."

Huo Yuhao said his thoughts.

This means that they abandoned the imperial city and abandoned the Ming Emperor.

But even if it wasn't, what could a few of them do on such a battlefield, just come to a Super Douluo, without the cover of the big array, they would not be able to fight with it at all.

Moreover, it is impossible for one or two Super Douluo to change the current situation.

Unless a group of soul masters comes back, it is possible to cooperate with the remaining forces of the Imperial City to defeat the Holy Spirit Sect.

However, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the front-line war, Emperor Ming sent all the three soul master groups out.

Otherwise, Xu Tianran would not have chosen to do it now.

After Huo Yuhao finished saying his thoughts, he didn't speak again, Emperor Xue and Wang Qiu'er didn't need him to worry about it here, because the two of them were originally outsiders in Mingdu.

If it weren't for him, these two people might not have set foot in Mingdu for half a step in their lives, and their feelings for this city have not reached the point where they can't give up, besides, this is not a complete abandonment, but a breakthrough to find reinforcements, and they will come back.

So the main thing is whether the Hongchen brothers and sisters will accept his suggestion, give up defense, and temporarily give up the Ming capital to the evil soul master.

The war once again entered a brief stalemate here in the Imperial City, but everyone knew that the parity could not last, and it was only a matter of time before the defenders of the Imperial City were destroyed.

Breaking through requires a little preparation, so Huo Yuhao didn't urge again, leaving the two of them a little time to make a choice.

……

Sun and Moon Dynasty.

After the imperial city's defensive array was broken, the court was completely in chaos.

This is the first time that the imperial city has been breached since its completion, and even the holy war between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent ended in the defeat of the Sun and Moon Empire, and the Ming Capital has never been so critical.

All the troops and high-ranking forces of the Ming capital had been put into the task of defending the imperial city, but they were still captured.

Now it was only a matter of time before the Evil Soul Master arrived where they were standing, how could they not panic, the enemy army was the Evil Soul Master, a group of people who killed people without blinking.

Prisoners don't exist among Evil Soul Masters, right?

But Emperor Ming still had a calm face, as if the evil soul master outside did not exist.

"Quiet!"

The majesty of Emperor Ming sitting on the throne still calmed down the chaos among the ministers.

This man's confidence, which he doesn't know where it came from, injected a dose of strength into everyone.

After all, the outer defense of the palace was arranged by His Majesty, so does he have a backhand?

All the ministers looked at Emperor Ming with a hopeful gaze.

And Xu Tianran, who had just commanded his subordinates who were loyal to him to destroy the defense array, was very worried in his heart, could it be that his father really had a backhand, and he had been testing his own actions before?

With the majesty of Emperor Ming, it is not impossible to do so.

If this is the case, then his own venture may have been discovered by his father, and he is waiting for himself to plead guilty?

The majesty of Emperor Ming's outburst now can't help but think about it naturally.

There is no way, in the past, he could act arbitrarily, all because the tiger of Emperor Ming was sick, and his ambitions began to rise.

But in recent years, his father has always been so strong, and Xu Tianran's contradictory heart is getting worse day by day.

He wants to sit on the throne.

But his father's health suddenly improved, so if he wanted to be on the throne, he could only take the risk of rebellion.

But also because of the majesty of his father, Xu Tianran was afraid of everything, and he was always afraid that his wise and martial father would find out about his small moves.

Therefore, in the past few years, he did not dare to continue to develop at all, and only dared to continue to contact the allies he had previously wooed.
