Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Detonate a level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell on the head of the White Tiger Duke?
When Xu Tianyuan, the leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps, said these words, Luanfeng, the deputy leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps, was clearly stunned for a moment.

But then, she became somewhat tempted.

If we could kill Duke White Tiger with a single level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball, then not only would we be able to hold back most of the Star Luo Empire's forces, but we could even lead our troops to invade the Star Luo Empire directly!
Having been in a standoff with the Star Luo Empire for so many years, they both knew that the core of the Star Luo Empire's army was Duke White Tiger!
Once Duke White Tiger falls, the Star Luo Empire's army will inevitably be thrown into chaos!

At that time, their two Soul Master Corps will lead their armies to break through the Star Luo Empire's defenses, take over the Star Luo Empire in one fell swoop, and, together with the armies from other directions, conquer the three great empires in one fell swoop! Unify the continent!
"Alas, it's a pity that a single level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell couldn't kill Duke White Tiger."

Xu Tianyuan sighed softly.

He knew very well the power of the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball. Unless the White Tiger Duke had no way to avoid it and stood at the core of the explosion, it would be impossible to kill the White Tiger Duke directly!
After all, Duke White Tiger's cultivation had reached the level of a Title Douluo! If he were so easy to kill, they wouldn't have been locked in a stalemate with the Star Luo Empire on the border for so long.

"It doesn't matter if we can't kill Duke White Tiger, our mission is just to hold back the Star Luo Empire's forces. Once the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon fires, and given that the Dou Ling Empire's royal family was just wiped out by a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon, the Star Luo Empire will definitely move most of its forces to the border for defense!"

Luanfeng said in a deep voice.

If the first level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell alone was not enough for the Star Luo Empire to mobilize most of its troops, then the news of the Dou Ling Empire being annihilated by the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell added fuel to the fire!
The Douling Empire's royal family was annihilated by a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon. What about the Xingluo Empire's royal family?

Their sense of crisis will subconsciously make them heavily guarded, which plays right into their hands.

"Okay, first send someone to check out the area where Duke White Tiger is active, and bomb him with a level 9 fixed-position soul-guided shell! Then, place a level 9 fixed-position soul-guided shell here and here, and bomb all three at the same time!"

Xu Tianyuan pointed to two locations on the map.

Luanfeng looked in the direction he pointed.

Those two places are the two soul guidance positions of the Star Luo Empire. It can be said that more than half of the Star Luo Empire's firepower on the border is located at these two soul guidance positions!

With these two locations bombed, even if the Star Luo Empire wanted to organize an army to retaliate, it would be impossible to concentrate its firepower in a short period of time!

This means they can buy themselves more time!

"When will we do it?"

Since the decision has been made, there is no time to hesitate.

"Hurry up! It would be best to make a move tonight! Duke White Tiger is a tough opponent. He should have received the intelligence by now. If we drag this out, I'm worried that Duke White Tiger will make the first move against us!"

Xu Tianyuan said in a deep voice.

Now that the news has reached them, Duke White Tiger must have received it as well.

Of course, whether Duke White Tiger strikes first or they strike first, the objective can be achieved: to delay the enemy's advance.

But by making the first move, they can at least seize the initiative!
The border line, on the side of the Star Luo Empire army.

When Duke White Tiger received news of the destruction of the Douling Empire's royal family and the fall of its capital, Lingdou City, his majestic tiger eyes instantly became extremely solemn.

"The Douling Empire is located in the South China Sea!"

As the supreme military commander of the Star Luo Empire, Duke Baihu has a very keen sense of war.

Even without reading the subsequent battle reports, upon learning of the trouble in the Douling Empire, his first thought was that the Sun Moon Empire's army had bypassed the South China Sea and launched a surprise attack on the Douling Empire from the east!
"Marshal, the Douling Empire is an empire after all! How long has it been? We just received news that the capital has already fallen. The enemy's speed is a bit too fast!"

The general standing to the side said incredulously.

Even though the Douling Empire was the weakest of the four great empires on the continent, it was still an empire! There were several titled Douluo-level powerhouses within the empire, so how could it have fallen so quickly! And the entire royal family of the Douling Empire was also implicated.

This is simply incomprehensible.

"According to intelligence, the army that the Sun Moon Empire sent to launch a surprise attack on the Douling Empire is quite strong. There are at least three level nine soul masters, and the Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin is personally leading the team. It is said that it is a legion of tens of thousands of soul masters who can control flying soul tools!"

Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger quickly walked to the military map, his gaze sweeping across the South China Sea region of the Star Luo Empire, and then slowly moving upwards along the South China Sea.

"I heard that there was a sudden attack by soul beasts in the South China Sea, which I found strange at the time. The sea soul beasts in the South China Sea have always kept to themselves and our navy in the South China Sea. How could there suddenly be a beast tide? It seems that Ye Yulin led the fleet into the deep sea and did something out of our sight!"

Dai Hao's gaze finally settled on Lingdou City, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Regardless of how hard it may be to believe, the fall of Lingdou City is a fact.

No one would dare to lie about military intelligence in such a battle report!

However, this has made the war situation somewhat complicated.
"The Douling Empire cannot be abandoned!"

After almost a moment's thought, Dai Hao came to a conclusion.

Even though the royal family of the Douling Empire has been completely wiped out, the army of the Sun Moon Empire should not be allowed to occupy the area for an extended period of time.

Once the Sun Moon Empire's army gains a foothold in the Douling Empire, it means that the Heavenly Soul Empire will be attacked from both sides!
If the Heavenly Soul Empire were to encounter another crisis, the Star Luo Empire, as a single nation, would be unable to contend with the Sun Moon Empire!

Therefore, the Douling Empire cannot be lost!
"I will write to His Majesty now and request that troops be sent to support Douling."

Before he could finish speaking, Dai Hao's expression suddenly changed.

"Get out of here! Quick!"

With that, he led all the soldiers within his reach away from the area.

But the next second, a violent roar sounded behind him!
The level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell exploded!
The power of a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell can cover a fairly large area. Even though Dai Hao sensed the danger in advance and moved away immediately, he was still inevitably enveloped by the aftershocks of the explosion.

In order to protect his soldiers, Dai Hao forced himself to expand the White Tiger Protective Shield until it could enclose everyone around him.

boom!
The White Tiger protective shield shattered instantly, and Dai Hao spat out a mouthful of blood, staggering back several steps, his face turning deathly pale.

At this distance, if he only uses the White Tiger Shield to protect himself, he will basically not be injured, since he is no longer in the core area of ​​the level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell.

But he had to protect the soldiers around him, and if his strength was scattered, he wouldn't be able to hold them off.

"marshal!"

"Marshal, how are you?!"

"Quickly, take the marshal away from here!" "Where are the healing-type Soul Masters?! Who's a healing-type?!"

When the soldiers saw Duke White Tiger vomiting blood, they immediately panicked and said...

Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger waved his hand and hurriedly said, "Have everyone else temporarily withdraw from the position! The Sun Moon Empire has used level nine fixed-position soul-guided shells! The soul-guided position may be bombed!"

Dai Hao reacted very quickly. The moment the explosion of the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell rang out, he realized that the Sun Moon Empire was probably not just going to bombard the area once, but more likely to launch an attack on the entire border position!

This is a level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell! We've already used it, so we can't just use it as a firecracker!

This must have a larger strategic purpose!
"Yes!"

Upon hearing Dai Hao's words, the soldiers around him immediately reacted and hurriedly went to various positions to order a retreat.

With the soul-guided positions they set up along the border, they are effective in defending against ordinary wars, but what can they use to defend against level nine fixed-position soul-guided shells?
There is absolutely no possibility of defense!
Once the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells fall, it means their fate is sealed.

Rumble!
Rumble!
The soldiers who went to order a retreat hadn't been gone long when two consecutive booming sounds came from afar, and the shockwaves from the explosions had even reached their side.

Watching the flames soar into the sky in the distance, Dai Hao closed his eyes in anguish.

He could imagine that not many soldiers would have survived the two soul-guided positions where the explosions had occurred.

"Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells! Another level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell! Is the Sun Moon Empire really going to start a full-scale war with the Star Luo Empire?!"

Upon hearing those two explosions, Dai Hao immediately recognized them as level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells!
"Including the one we just fired, that makes three Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells! Marshal, the Sun Moon Empire is really going to war with us! Marshal, give the order!"

"Yes, Marshal, give the order!"

The soldiers around him spoke in deep voices.

The enemy threw three level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells over. With such a large-scale deployment, there is no doubt that they are going to launch an attack on the Star Luo Empire!

"Marshal, should we mobilize our forces? With our current strength, if the Sun Moon Empire really decides to declare war on us, we're afraid our forces will be insufficient."

There are naturally quite a few troops stationed along the border; the Star Luo Empire has deployed 100,000 troops along the border!

Tens of thousands of troops were stationed to defend each of the major towns that followed.

This is all to guard against the possibility that the Sun Moon Empire might suddenly launch an attack on the Star Luo Empire and cross the border.

Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Kingdom has absolute command over these troops! He is fully capable of mobilizing the troops from the cities behind him.

No, that's not right.

Dai Hao frowned, instinctively sensing that something was amiss.

He had just received the news; even if the Sun Moon Empire had some special means, they couldn't possibly receive the news much faster than he could.

But in such a short time, the other side directly launched three level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, as if they wanted to break through the border line and head straight for Xingluo City.

But that's not realistic!

Xingluo City is not Lingdou City, and the Xingluo Empire is not the Douling Empire.

Ye Yulin was able to lead his men to a surprise attack and take over Lingdou City in such a short time because it was something that no one could have imagined.

However, the Star Luo Empire has been on guard against the Sun Moon Empire for many years. Even if the Sun Moon Empire uses level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons to take the lead, it is unrealistic to expect them to directly break through the border defenses!
"Marshal! The Sun Moon Empire has begun its attack!"

Upon hearing his subordinates' reminder, Duke White Tiger had no time to think it through. If the Sun Moon Empire really intended to go all out and send a large number of troops to launch the most intense attack on the Star Luo Empire, it would be extremely difficult for the Star Luo Empire to stop them with its current forces on the border!
Moreover, no one knows what plan the Sun Moon Empire has formulated.

The surprise attack on the Douling Empire was unexpected by everyone. If the Riyue Empire really did commit all its forces here, that would be equally unexpected!
If something happens here and the Sun Moon Empire breaks through in one fell swoop, Star Luo City will be in danger!

bet?
Can't gamble!
If they lose the bet, the fate of the Douling Empire's royal family will be the same as that of the Xingluo Empire's royal family!

"Pass on my military order! Command the troops from all the major cities in the rear to come and reinforce us! We must stop the enemy at the border!"

Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Palace gave the order in a deep voice.

Xu Tianyuan and Luanfeng both smiled when they saw the changes in the Star Luo Empire's troop strength on the border.

Duke White Tiger was ultimately fooled.

Meanwhile, in the northern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire, in the Ice and Snow City.

Kong Deming has already assembled two thousand members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, as well as tens of thousands of troops who had already gathered in Ice and Snow City.

"Gentlemen, speed is crucial in this battle! We must take Qingshui City within a day! Within ten days, we must open up the route from the Tianhun Empire to the Douling Empire!"

This was the task Xu Tianran had given him.

For this mission, Xu Tianran transferred the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, the most elite unit of the Sun Moon Empire, to Kong Deming.

Just how powerful is this Soul Master Corps?
All members are at least Level 5 Soul Masters!
You should know that any level 5 Soul Master on the continent could be a teacher in an academy, or even a principal.

But in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, he was just a basic soldier!
Of course, these Soul Masters did not improve their cultivation level normally, but through drugs.

Normally, cultivating to the Soul King level requires some talent and a lot of time.

However, the Sun Moon Empire has a complete system for forcibly enhancing cultivation levels with drugs. Title Douluo are difficult to create, but low-level Soul Masters can be mass-produced; it's just a matter of resources.

As a nation that was originally an independent continent, the Sun and Moon Empire had resources that the other three empires could never match.

Therefore, while the Sun Moon Empire could field tens of thousands of Soul Masters, the three great empires couldn't even muster a single Soul Master regiment of ten thousand.

Kong Deming glanced at the two thousand Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps behind him and gave the order in a deep voice:

"Target: Clearwater City! Take it within a day!" (End of Chapter)
