Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 609: Arrival at Dou San (I)

Whoosh!
The black object made a sharp whistling sound.

It suddenly rose up more than 130 miles away from the fortress.

Like a flying swallow, it draws a graceful arc in the air.

Then, it crashed into a torrent of mana spewing out from a magic circle.

The metal casing was peeled off layer by layer.

Just like peeling bamboo shoots.

It's like a bullet corroded by sulfuric acid.

Revealing the intricate and delicate gem core inside.

Immediately, as if some setting was triggered, the core of the gem suddenly lit up, and a ball of ice-blue fireworks with a radius of more than 50 meters exploded in the air, and even froze some of the mana torrent into ice cubes, which fell to the ground like hail.

But because of the quality problem of this ice.

Plus there’s the issue of mana being suppressed inside the ice.

As a result, when these falling ice blocks hit the ground, including the people or objects on the ground, a secondary explosion occurred, just like a cluster bomb. Blood and flesh flew everywhere. In an instant, the area below turned into a hell on earth with wailing everywhere.

However, for the person being thrown.

This also applies to the people on the invaded side.

“Great job!”

"Let them suffer the consequences!"

At the observation port inside the fortress, a young man who looked to be in his twenties scolded happily, then twisted the clairvoyance in his hand and set his gaze on the plain area on the other side of the mountain, looking at the battlefield where blood and flesh were also flying, but the fighting method was different. Because there were many trenches set up on that plain area, the enemy could only adopt a concentrated breakthrough tactic to take over this area, and then launch an attack on the fortress group where they were stationed, and take down their fortress group, and then join forces with friendly forces from other directions to cut off the mountain range behind them, so as to hinder the evacuation of the Zhennan Pass defenders and the support of the coalition forces from other directions, and then take Zhennan Pass into their hands.

So, as the commander of this battle.

Of course, one of many commanders.

He was responsible only for the defense of this group of fortresses.

There are other fortresses in this mountain range.

Including the plain trench area where hand-to-hand combat was taking place.

There are also corresponding commanders.

They are more like battalion commanders or company commanders in modern organizations.

Stop the enemy's advance as much as possible.

If they want to concentrate their forces for a decisive battle, the three to five hundred men under their command are far from enough. In other words, the existing garrison in the entire mountain range is simply not enough for them to fight a decisive battle. It is not impossible for them to fight if they must, but the consequences of fighting will be unbearable, because once the garrison here is severely depleted or surrounded, the hundreds of thousands of troops withdrawn from Zhennan Pass, including millions of people, will all be stuck on the road.

At this critical juncture, it is clear that Zhennan Pass cannot be defended.

Zhennan Pass can be lost.

But the population must be evacuated.

This is a death order from the Temple Alliance.

Because a smaller population means less potential for war.

War is indeed a competition of resources and strength.

But strong people also grow up from ordinary people.

Ultimately, it all comes down to population.

Therefore, they are the last line of defense that determines whether the above people can evacuate safely. Although all parties are mobilizing troops, according to the words of the commander-in-chief he heard when he went to the headquarters, in just five hours, the Temple Alliance found more than 140 Titled Douluo, which can also be regarded as more than 140 ninth-grade powerhouses. Although more than two-thirds of these more than 140 Titled Douluo are below level 95, which is comparable to ninth-grade level 1 powerhouses, among the remaining less than one-third of Titled Douluo, only less than ten have reached level 98 or above, comparable to ninth-grade level 3 or ninth-grade level 4 powerhouses, and the remaining Titled Douluo of levels 95, 96, and 97 are only equivalent to ninth-grade level 2 professionals, but the ant bites the elephant to death, and the large-scale soul guide cannon bombardment still caused serious losses to several major border checkpoints.

Therefore, even though there are only more than 10,000 troops stationed in this mountain range.

Because this mountain range is important.

On weekdays, supplies are also transported to Zhennan Pass through this channel. In other words, this road is the grain route in military terminology.

Naturally, a certain number of troops must be stationed there.

Including the combat power configuration here.

It’s also quite good.

The commander-in-chief himself is an eighth-level warrior.

Under normal circumstances, resisting the attack of a Titled Douluo is not a problem.

Because the system on the Holy Demon Continent is highly similar to the age of soul beasts.

The first level of the ninth stage starts at 100,000 spiritual power points.

Corresponding to a hundred thousand year soul beast.

The eighth level corresponds to 30,000 to 99,999 spiritual power points, which means it corresponds to soul beasts of 30,000 to 90,000 years. In any case, it is definitely not a hundred thousand years old and it has not yet passed the tribulation.

In addition, the seventh-level professionals of the Sealed Divine Throne have a particularly powerful trait, which is that they can temporarily transform their bodies into spiritual power to avoid fatal injuries. Plus, the Sealed Divine Throne allows people to learn skills freely, and each system has hundreds of skills. It's just a matter of personal energy whether they can learn them all. Under normal circumstances, it's better to choose the skill combination.

That is to refine certain skills.

This will form your own unique fighting style.

Take Guardian Knight, for example.

There are indeed only two types of Knights Templar, but everyone has a unique understanding of how to interpret the guardian knight's protection.

Some are good at group protection.

The choice of skills is mostly for large-scale assistance.

But some are good at single-target defense.

The corresponding tactic is four protecting one, relying on an absolutely solid shield to ensure that the output big brother in one's own team can output with confidence, or even output while standing still. It is the strongest combination of spear and shield.

Some guardian knights are pure meat shields.

To put it bluntly, it's a piece of cake.

Also called the free man.

Their tactical goal is very clear, which is to hold back the strongest opponent and share the opponent's top pressure with their teammates.

There are some other genres as well.

Therefore, although every knight follows a similar path before the third level, with only two sets of differences between the Guardian Knight and the Punishment Knight, after the third level, both the Guardian Knight and the Punishment Knight need to consider the subsequent small route transfers. It does not mean that all Guardian Knights will learn all the skills of the Guardian system.

But anyway.

The space for choice is greater than that of the soul master system.

Because even if a soul master stacks up all nine soul rings, he still only has nine skills.

And in the hands of any ninth-level professional.

There are no less than twenty skills.

The number of skills possessed by any seventh-level professional starts from ten.

Therefore, an eighth-rank professional, equivalent to a 30,000 to 90,000-year-old soul beast, is capable of winning a 50-50 fight against some Titled Douluo, especially those in the second and third levels of Douluo, who rely on soul cores and have weaker physical fitness. They are completely different from the hexagonal warrior-type Titled Douluo in the first level of Douluo.

But if it is replaced by a Titled Douluo of Douyi.

The gap is still obvious.

Maybe someone will ask at this time, doesn’t Douluo Dalu have soul guides? Doesn’t Douluo Dalu have battle armor? And what about the thirteenth-level soul guide shells, the kind that blew up Shrek Academy and Shrek City, plus the many demigods and even super gods in Douluo Dalu.

There is just no deity.

On the side of the Divine Seal Throne, let alone an eighth-level warrior fighting against a Titled Douluo, even if a ninth-level warrior went up, he should be suppressed.

How could it end in a draw?
I can only say that people who ask this kind of question think that the battle is too simple.

The higher the end of the equipment.

The more likely it is to be resolved by low-end means.

Just like the shell just now.

A fifth-level wizard can blow it up in mid-air.

Yes.

After this eighth-level soul-guided cannonball fell, I, a fifth-level mage, really couldn't block it. Even if an eighth-level mage came, he might not be able to block it. But how arrogant do I have to be to catch the cannonball with my face?
Don't say I'm a mage who's good at ranged attacks.

Even the warriors and knights below.

Ask them, who doesn't have two long-range attack skills, no matter it's the knight's cross slash or the warrior's sky-splitting fist. It is definitely unrealistic to ask them to block so much artillery fire, but it is still very simple to just ask them to protect themselves from being blown up, because the flight trajectory of this kind of heavy artillery can be predicted, and it will be fine as long as it is detonated from fifty meters away. In other words, if it is placed closer, if the physical fitness is relatively strong, it can also be detonated at forty or thirty meters. The tolerance rate in this range is terrifyingly large.

As for other places, they were bombed.

At most some buildings were damaged.

It is impossible to cause direct combat casualties.

All melee professions are played like this.

Not to mention remote jobs.

Therefore, in this logistics force of 10,000 people stationed in the mountains, after being arranged by the commander-in-chief, a unique combat system that only exists on the side of the Divine Seal Throne has been formed, which is enough to offset the soul guide combat system of Douluo Dalu, and even form a countermeasure.

Don't you like artillery bombardment?
Then I will use the assassins to transform into a scout team and cut into your artillery position.

I don't ask them to bring me any soul guide cannons.

Blow up.

That's it.

The impact of this kind of chain explosion is enough to shake an area.

This indirectly led to the fact that the attacking side of Dou San was afraid to let all the artillery positions open fire, for fear that they would be completely exposed and then be wiped out.

As for the artillery attacks that occasionally expose the position.

Usually there will be an assassin team to deal with it.

On the main battlefield, the mage team serves as the main air defense force, dealing with these shells and making them explode in the sky. Occasionally, if there are those that cannot be dealt with, it depends on the professionals on the ground themselves. In addition, they also work part-time to suppress the advances of the opponent's flying soul masters and soul masters using flying soul guides.

This is equivalent to a floating turret.

Highly maneuverable.

The firepower output is extremely high.

The most headache for the commander-in-chief of the Douluo Dalu who launched the attack on this mountain was that the commander-in-chief of the Temple Alliance could also withdraw a group of knights to form a guard team composed of all members riding unicorns or Pegasus. Even if the flying soul masters and soul masters using flying soul guides on the Douluo Dalu paid a terrible price, after breaking in, they would not face mages with poor melee capabilities, but a group of flying knights who were ready to fight.

And in other places.

There is also the defensive capability provided by the city walls and formations.

More advantageous than the current mountain warfare.

This is also the reason why the number of ninth-level powerhouses on the Temple Alliance's side is only a fraction of that on the Douluo San side, but they can still resist the invasion of the Douluo San side.

It's like the difference between World War I, World War II, and information warfare.

The war system of Douyi is equivalent to World War I.

It depends on the personal ability of the soul master.

Place a Soul King on the battlefield.

That really is the power of one person defeating an army.

If the opponent does not have a Soul King, or a Soul Master who is superior to the Soul King, then even if the Soul King is outnumbered by twenty-eight to five thousand, he can still defeat the opponent's army of five thousand people, and then chase and kill them.

A powerful soul master can change the situation on the battlefield.

It even has the power to destroy a city.

This forced the Xingluo Empire and Tiandou Empire of the Douyi era to treat each other with courtesy, and even improved the treatment of soul masters due to the internal circulation of the Spirit Hall.

But the war between World War II and World War III was equivalent to World War II.

No matter how great your abilities are, it will be of no use.

Is Long Xiaoyao strong?
Ninety-nine level Extreme Douluo.

Is Ye Xishui strong?

Ninety-nine level Extreme Douluo.

So?

They still couldn't withstand the concentrated and targeted detonation of the ninth-level soul-guided shells!
And this war right now.

It is equivalent to information warfare.

It can also be said to be a high-tech battle.

The professionals on the Seat of God plane used their own tactical systems to force the soul masters on the three planes of Fighting to the same level as themselves, and then engaged in hand-to-hand combat with real swords and guns.

The few Divine Seal Knights were firing at full power.

Grant all the soldiers in the city an invincible golden body.

Can you believe this effect?
There is no problem for tens of thousands of people to attack with hundreds of thousands of troops.

However, if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising.

The power system of the Divine Seal plane is not low.

Even slightly higher than Douluo.

It’s just that the power system controlled by the human beings in the Divine Seal Plane is not very high.

Those thrones of divine seals.

Except for the one that landed first.

The strength of the other divine thrones has reached the level of a first-level god.

And the throne of God's seal that landed first.

That is, in the original novel, the Divine Seal Throne that was finally held by Long Haochen.

In terms of strength, it has even reached the level of a God King.

And there is the demon clan.

Seventy-two Demon Pillars.

The first three are equivalent to level two gods.

From four to ten are equivalent to third-level gods.

Further down are the strengths of the priests or divine servants.

Add to that the rather unstable state of Austin Griffin.

At his peak, he is equivalent to the Dragon God.

After all, he is the twin brother of the God of Creation.

Although it has not reached the level of the Creator God.

But he is still on the same level as the Dragon God, who is also half a step away from being a creator god.

After the status was lowered.

That is the God of Punishment.

Lost the title of the God of Heaven.

That is also a standard first-level god.

Then, regardless of whether it took the initiative or not, it was imprisoned in the formation formed by the seventy-two demon pillars and was weakened step by step until now.

It’s not so much that the Divine Throne is very courageous.

Dare to withstand the attack of Dou San and evacuate.

To a certain extent, it was even a back-and-forth fight.

It would be better to say that Dou San is really courageous. He dares to fight against the Divine Seal Plane where gods walk on the earth, and even seizes the initiative.

The reason why the expressiveness of the divine seal plane is not strong.

Because no one is realizing their potential.

The Knight of Divine Seal is also good.

Even the devil.

They are just equivalent to divine examiners.

There is a deity.

But their realm and cultivation did not meet the standards.

Even so, when the war really breaks out, they have the ability to influence the overall situation, and it is difficult to say who has the advantage for a while.
