Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue
Chapter 546 Are you sweating profusely?
"So what is the situation now?" Xu Jiawei suppressed his anger and tried his best to remain calm.
The Sun-Moon Empire's actions were too cruel. They actually used ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided artillery shells to deal with ordinary soldiers. This is extremely rare in the entire continent's war history!
Although the ninth-level soul guide device poses a certain threat to the Title Douluo, the specific effect depends on the strength of the Title Douluo. However, in terms of destructive power, even the Title Douluo is far inferior to a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell. The Title Douluo can indeed cause large-scale casualties, but it takes a certain amount of time to accumulate, while the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell can cause a devastating blow in an instant. This killing efficiency is really frightening.
The Prime Minister answered cautiously: "The Northwest Army Group has urgently requested assistance from the Imperial Capital, and we must also seek support from the other two empires. The Western Army Group has adjusted its defense deployment and expanded its defense range to guard against the Sun-Moon Empire's mass-destructive soul-guided weapons. The most urgent thing at the moment is to order the military to immediately issue instructions, requiring the Northwest Army Group to delay the enemy at all costs and buy time for reinforcements from the rear."
The Minister of Military Affairs added: "The Northwest Army has been operating in the Western Frontier for many years. Both the city defense facilities and troop deployment are much more complete than those in inland cities. If this line of defense is breached again, the enemy will surely march straight in. It will take at least half a month for the military to reinforce them, but I have already dispatched several elite soul division corps to provide support."
Xu Jiawei nodded slightly, his expression slightly relaxed. This is indeed the best arrangement that can be made at present. As long as the reinforcements of the two empires of Tianhun and Douling arrive, and relying on the profound foundation of Xingluo Empire, it may not be impossible to stop the offensive of Sun and Moon Empire. After all, in his opinion, among the three countries originally belonging to Douluo Continent, Xingluo Empire has the strongest national strength and the largest number of soul masters in the continent. Ten soul master corps means tens of thousands of soul masters, this force should not be underestimated.
However, for some reason, Xu Jiawei always felt that something was wrong, as if some key factor had been overlooked.
At this moment, Xu Jiujiu suddenly exclaimed: "Oh no! Yun'er is still in Yuming City!"
Until now, the brother and sister remembered that their youngest sister Xu Yun had volunteered to join the army to serve the country not long ago, and Xu Jiujiu could not resist her repeated requests, so she arranged her in the reserve army. In her opinion, as long as she did not go to the front line, Xu Yun would naturally come back after experiencing enough military life. Unexpectedly, Xu Yun loved military life very much, and stayed there for several months without any intention of returning. Considering that the reserve army has always been safe, Xu Jiujiu did not care too much.
But now Yuming City may fall at any time, and Xu Yun, as the beloved little princess of the royal family, has almost zero practical experience. How should she respond if she really encounters danger?
Xu Jiawei's face suddenly changed, and he said sternly: "Send someone to pick her up immediately!" At this moment, he suddenly realized the key point that had been overlooked - the western border garrisoned by the Northwest Army was clearly equipped with a defensive soul guide array provided by the Tianhun Empire, which was said to be able to intercept ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells, but why did it not play the role it should have?
"Also, where did the reinforcements from the Sky Soul Empire go? Immediately send elite scouts to investigate this matter and make sure the Sky Soul Empire gives an explanation!"
The worst case scenario is that the reinforcements of the Sky Soul Empire retreated in the face of the enemy. This thought made Xu Jiawei feel uncomfortable. When the Sky Soul Empire encountered the beast tide, he did not hesitate to send elite troops to support it. Now if the other side dared to betray the covenant...
"Your Majesty," the Prime Minister hurriedly advised, "The failure of the Sky Soul Empire's soul guide array may have other hidden reasons. The most urgent task is to take two approaches at the same time. On the one hand, we need to pick up the little princess, and on the other hand, we need to send an envoy to the Sky Soul Empire to ask for clarification."
Xu Jiujiu volunteered, "Brother Emperor, please let me be the envoy to the Tianhun Empire this time! I think with the friendship between the three original Douluo countries, they should all understand the principle of lips and teeth being cold. It will not do them any good to backstab us."
Xu Jiawei's eyes darkened and he shook his head, "No, you go to the front line. The whereabouts of Duke Baihu is still unknown, and hundreds of thousands of troops are leaderless. Now only if you go, I can feel at ease. Remember, when you arrive at the front line, gather Baihu's old subordinates first..." if there are any more.
But the Sun-Moon Empire's army did not seem to be in a hurry to launch an attack. Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and they still did not move. All the border reconnaissance forces sent by the Star Luo Empire were completely blocked by the Sun-Moon Empire's high-altitude detection soul guides and soul guide corps.
The Xing Luo military had sent strong men to try to break through the blockade and conduct reconnaissance many times, but under the monitoring of the high-altitude detection soul guides and thermal energy detection soul guides densely deployed by the Sun-Moon Empire, any approaching strong man would be immediately discovered once he entered the warning range, and would then be subjected to a fierce soul guide attack.
The battle reports from the front made Xu Jiawei more and more suspicious. What was the Sun-Moon Empire planning? Logically speaking, three days was more than enough to stabilize the position. Since the other side had launched a war, they should have been fully prepared and attacked with all their strength. But why did they not move their troops, but gave the Xingluo Empire time to mobilize its troops?
This abnormal calmness made Xu Jiawei increasingly uneasy. But on the surface, the current situation was actually favorable to the Xingluo Empire. After all, every day the enemy delayed, Xingluo's reinforcements would be one step closer.
In these three days, six soul master corps have joined forces with the Northwest Army Group and the Western Army Group, a total of eight corps, almost 80% of the elite forces of the Xingluo Empire. Even though the First Soul Master Corps suffered some losses in the previous battle, its overall combat power is still considerable. Princess Jiujiu has already arrived at the front line, joined Princess Xu Yun in Yuming City, and led the six newly arrived soul master corps. Such a large-scale military deployment fully demonstrated the Xingluo Empire's determination to resist to the death.
However, what made Xu Jiujiu even more uneasy was that her beloved sister was seriously injured in the military camp, and the murderer was a mysterious boy. According to Xu Yun's description, when she attacked the other party, the boy bounced her soul skills back intact, and directly injured her. If it weren't for the military doctors' full treatment, I'm afraid her life would be in danger.
When Xu Jiujiu carefully asked for details, she did not initially connect this young man with Huo Yuhao. It was not until Xu Yun described the characteristics of the other party's companion that she suddenly realized something, and this discovery made her heart sink to the bottom.
The genius boy who was accepted as a direct disciple by the Dragon Pavilion strongman killed Dai Yuheng, who was already a Soul Emperor, with his Soul Venerable cultivation five years ago. What made her even more depressed was the blood feud between Huo Yuhao and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. If it was really Huo Yuhao who took action, the forces involved behind it were enough to put the entire Xingluo royal family in a dilemma.
Xu Yun's weak voice floated over intermittently: "He... he seems to know Dai Luoli, the one who disappeared five years ago... the bastard son of the Duke of White Tiger..."
Xu Jiujiu's heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran down her spine. She could almost imagine the scene at that time. With Xu Yun's arrogant personality, he would definitely speak rudely to Huo Yuhao, and most likely he would have contempt for Dai Luoli. Judging from the killing blow Huo Yuhao dealt to Dai Yaoheng, Xu Yun was only seriously injured, which was probably the result of the other party showing mercy.
Looking at her sister's pale face that still had a hint of resentment, Xu Jiujiu felt powerless. She gently pressed Xu Yun's hand and said in a low and serious voice, "Yun'er, listen. Neither I nor my brother can afford to offend that man. My brother's cultivation has been improving continuously over the years, all thanks to the deal he made with Dragon Pavilion five years ago."
Huo Yuhao's appearance at the western frontier of the Xingluo Empire was an ominous omen in itself. Shortly after his appearance, the pillar of the empire, Duke Dai Hao of White Tiger, and his most elite White Tiger guards, mysteriously lost all contact and their whereabouts were unknown. The timing of these two events was so coincidental, could it be just a coincidence?
Thinking of the deep blood feud between Huo Yuhao and Duke Baihu, a deeper chill instantly gripped her. In the recent Soul Master Competition, she saw with her own eyes that Huo Yuhao easily defeated seven enemies several times. With his current status and unfathomable strength, plus the Dragon Pavilion behind him, he is fully capable and motivated to attack Dai Hao!
This thought made Xu Jiujiu's heart sink to the bottom. Dai Hao, the Marshal of the Xingluo Empire, was far more than just a high position and power. He was the pillar of the empire's northwest defense line, the invincible military soul in the hearts of millions of soldiers, and the indispensable spiritual pillar of the entire Xingluo Empire under the shadow of war! Although some people in the court might be afraid of his great achievements, when the country was in crisis, Dai Hao's existence itself was a magic needle to stabilize the army's morale and consolidate the country's strength.
His disappearance might even lead to an accident... Xu Jiujiu didn't even dare to think about this consequence. It would not only mean that the strongest defense force on the front line would collapse instantly, and the northwest defense line might collapse, but also mean a devastating blow to the morale and faith of the entire Xingluo Empire.
She felt suffocated and powerless. What would it matter if she investigated the truth? Would she risk angering Huo Yuhao and Long Ge, and bring disaster to the royal family and even the entire empire? But if she left it alone and watched Dai Hao, the true backbone of the empire, disappear inexplicably, how could the Xingluo Empire resist the iron torrent of the Sun-Moon Empire?
The reinforcements from the Douling Empire have already entered the Xingluo border and are now divided into two groups, rushing to the front line together with the reinforcements assembled by Xingluo. On the surface, the war situation seems to be stabilizing. In just ten days at most, when all the troops have assembled, the Sun and Moon Empire will face unprecedented resistance if it wants to launch an offensive again.
But Xu Jiujiu felt heavy-hearted, not at all relieved. The army of the Douling Empire was certainly a strong reinforcement, but they had penetrated deep into the heart of Xingluo and were heading straight for the front line, which was a huge pressure in itself. And the coordination and combat effectiveness of the various reinforcements that Xingluo had hastily assembled and still needed to be run-in were even more unknown.
What made her feel even more anxious was the sense of urgency. Ten days seemed to be enough to complete the assembly, but it also meant that the Sun-Moon Empire still had a full ten-day window. With the terrifying mobility and destructive power of the Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Master Corps, ten days was enough for them to do a lot of things.
The entire army of the Xingluo Empire was shrouded in a heavy shadow. Every day, the soldiers were in a state of high tension waiting for the outbreak of war. The army of the Sun and Moon Empire had not yet appeared, but the invisible pressure had never dissipated. This unresolved torment made everyone's nerves like a fully drawn bowstring. They were on guard day and night, their eyes constantly scanning the distant horizon, and every slight movement made their hearts suddenly tighten. The huge mental burden weighed heavily on everyone's heart, and the silent military camp was filled with suffocating depression.
And there is Huo Yuhao, a young man who was born in Xingluo but has a blood feud with the White Tiger Duke. If he forcibly intervenes in the war at this time without caring about the interests of his country, the Sun Moon Empire, which is eyeing him covetously, will only reap the benefits.
The variable Huo Yuhao is dangerous enough, but the more deadly blade comes from the former ally - the Tianhun Empire!
That defensive soul guide array that could resist the ninth-level fixed soul guide shells was the most important support from the Tianhun Empire to the Xingluo Empire! But just before the Sun and Moon Empire launched a devastating attack, the soul guide group of the Tianhun Empire actually dismantled all the defense bases in broad daylight in front of the Xingluo defenders! They didn't even have any intention of concealing it, and the army swaggered back to Tianhun's homeland from the north.
The knuckles of her fingers turned white as she clutched the military newspaper for a long time. A fatal detail pierced her mind like a sting. The giant defensive array covering the entire Western Frontier had to be completely dismantled in just a few hours. It was definitely not something that an ordinary soul engineer could do! Only a ninth-level soul engineer who was familiar with the ninth-level soul guide core array could dismantle it so accurately and quickly.
"Longge!" She grinded out this name with a biting cold wind. Originally belonging to the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent, only Longcheng in the northern border of Tianhun Empire can afford a ninth-level soul master! Those detached old monsters are difficult for even the Tianhun royal family to drive, but now they appear at the border of Xingluo. This is not a simple withdrawal, but a decisive blow by Longge against Xingluo Empire!
An even more terrifying truth tore apart her cognition. Five years ago, during the All-Continent Spirit Master Competition, the Xingluo royal family's worshippers vaguely discovered that the Dragon Pavilion had dispatched at least two Extreme Douluos. For Huo Yuhao, the Dragon Pavilion would go to such lengths? They clearly knew that the Sun-Moon Empire was eyeing them covetously, and they clearly knew what the collapse of the Western Frontier's defense line meant! But those monsters standing at the top of the continent would rather let the Sun-Moon Empire devour Xingluo than indulge Huo Yuhao in settling his personal grudge with the White Tiger Duke!
"Madman..." He could hear his teeth chattering for a long time. Long Ge was trampling the balance of the entire continent under his feet, using the survival of the entire Xing Luo Empire as a sacrifice, just to fulfill the hatred that a young man had suppressed for many years!
Twin martial spirits, the ultimate martial spirits appearing in one person at the same time... She should have thought of it earlier. Dragon Pavilion has never disdained secular imperial power. Although those strong men are polite on the surface and cannot be criticized, they are actually above the rise and fall of the empire. Huo Yuhao is definitely the future ruler selected by Dragon Pavilion! Those old monsters are not indulging in personal grudges, but using the Xingluo Empire to sharpen the edge for the new master.
? ? It's broken! I'm a dream girl of Cheng Long Xiaoyao, but there's a fool saying that I like to lick the dog Long Xiaoyao, and I'm not happy that I didn't write him to death. I looked carefully and saw that the reading time was 6 minutes, and it jumped directly to the comments of chapter 372, and then followed the book review area to give a low score. I won't say what the reason is, I can only bury it
