Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 491 Conspiracy
With Xu Tianran's full support, Orange is now a Soul Saint-level seventh-level soul engineer. But even so, the flying ice still creates ripples on the soul power shield.

Orange quickly used the defensive soul guide on his body to open the soul guide shield, and then, regardless of the raging blizzard in the air, he immediately took off and flew more than ten meters into the air.

It didn't matter what she saw, she immediately took a breath of cold air.

A blizzard was raging, and snowflakes that looked like ice blades were wreaking havoc in the camp of the Sun-Moon Empire. Crazy ice blades were flying everywhere, sweeping across the entire camp. The tanned cowhide tents of the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps were better off, with no damage at the moment. However, the tents of the ordinary soldiers had already begun to show some damage under the ravages of these ice blades.

At this time, in the camp, the screams of soldiers could be heard one after another. This kind of ice flakes that were almost as sharp as blades were obviously not something that ordinary soldiers could withstand!
"Enemy attack!"

Orange shouted without thinking. With her intelligence, how could she not notice that the snowstorm tonight was abnormal? Orange raised her right hand, and an orange-red light immediately shot up into the sky. In the fierce snowstorm, pieces of orange-red light still blasted out. At the same time, the red armor on Orange's body quickly lit up, and a layer of light shield was released outward.

Crimson figures immediately emerged from the outer tents and crimson rays of light began to gather in the air, forming a layer of red light shield that expanded outward, resisting the ravages of the blizzard.

The Fire Phoenix Soul Guide Corps, with full members and reserve members, has a total of about 500 people. At this moment, under Orange's signal command, they all quickly took off into the air, activated their linked defense soul guides, and formed a layer of light shield to resist the violent attack of the aerial blizzard as much as possible.

Orange looked unhappy. This snowstorm was definitely not a natural phenomenon. No matter how strong a snowstorm was in nature, it was only heavy snow and strong wind. It was impossible for the snowflakes to be as sharp as blades and contain fluctuations of ice elements. Undoubtedly, this was man-made.

Who was it? I had no idea!
Orange thought quickly in her mind. She had taken everything into account, but she really couldn't imagine that during this period of time, that force had the spare time to attack them.

Could it be those hidden sects?
But soon Orange gave a negative answer in his heart. The reason was simple: the snowstorm was too strong.

Looking around, everything around seemed to be covered by the blizzard. The raging blizzard was destroying everything. If those hidden sects had this ability, they would not have been doing these small harassing actions before, and even lost many elite disciples, causing damage to both the Sun and Moon Empire.

If they had such ability, they would have used it long ago when they attacked the Tianhun Empire. It is impossible for them to wait until now to deal with a group of ordinary mining troops.

Although this is her judgment, Orange is not a traditional soul master after all. She is just a pure soul instructor. She does not have an accurate judgment standard for how strong a traditional soul master is. However, she believes that this blizzard cannot be accomplished by one person. It takes at least a soul master team to create such a huge blizzard.

Is it the Heavenly Soul Empire or the Douling Empire? Is there such a powerful team of soul masters?
Although Orange was caught in a brainstorm, he was not idle. He commanded the 500 Fire Phoenix Soul Instructors and the Soul Instructors of the Group to jointly resist the powerful blizzard. With their defense, they firmly blocked the ravages of the blizzard.

However, the linkage defense soul guide array formed by 500 soul masters still has a limited range and cannot protect all the tents. There are more than 25,000 people stationed in the camp below! They can only protect about one-third of the area, which is already the limit.

After Orange stabilized the formation, she immediately landed and continued to issue orders. She did not order the soldiers to withdraw to one-third of the area here. Under the influence of the horrible blizzard, once ordinary soldiers appeared outside, they would most likely be torn to pieces by the blizzard. She directly ordered everyone to hide under their beds as much as possible and wrap themselves with quilts.

Although there will still be a lot of casualties if doing so, she just hopes that this man-made snowstorm will not last too long. In that case, even if there are casualties, the number will not be too large.

Orange's response was undoubtedly the best. In her opinion, if a blizzard of this level was man-made, it would never last too long.

However, after settling the troops below, her expression quickly changed. She looked at the two-thirds of the tents that were exposed, all of which were torn to pieces by the blizzard. Although most of the soldiers hid under the beds and temporarily avoided the blizzard, the tents destroyed by the blizzard could no longer be used.

She has a total of 25,000 people here, and they are already living very crowded. It is impossible to use the remaining one-third of the tents to accommodate so many people. In other words, even if this blizzard ends in a short time and the Sun-Moon Empire army does not suffer too many casualties, the mining plan here still cannot proceed as planned and will inevitably be delayed to a great extent. What's more, after this blizzard, in this fierce wind and ice blades and snowflakes, it is unknown how many people will be injured or killed, and even the mining equipment will probably be destroyed.

Orange finally understood what the other party was going to do. No wonder they launched such a large-scale blizzard attack at all costs. Although the blizzard was very tricky, it could not seriously damage them. Now that he thought about it, the other party’s purpose was not to kill people from the beginning, but to destroy their arrangements and force them away. The other party’s target was also this mineral vein.

Who is it? The Heavenly Soul Empire? The Douling Empire? Impossible! The Heavenly Soul Empire is busy with its own affairs, and the Douling Empire is under my close surveillance. It is impossible for them to hide this from me. This mineral vein has just been discovered. Only the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Douling Empire, and our Sun and Moon Empire know about it. They have the ability to mine the mineral vein and launch such a powerful blizzard to attack us. Could it be Shrek Academy?
Didn’t the intelligence say that there was no movement from Shrek Academy?

Orange bit her thumb tightly, unable to figure out what she had missed to get herself into this situation. This round was undoubtedly her defeat.

This blizzard was a complete force-overwhelm! Moreover, she couldn't find the target at all, and didn't know where the attacker came from? Unable to lock onto the opponent, and not knowing where the blizzard came from, naturally there was no way to deal with the opponent.

Can't find an opponent?

A light bulb suddenly lit up Orange's mind, and her expression suddenly became even uglier. She subconsciously looked up into the sky.

All she saw was the dark night sky and the raging blizzard.

It's over! I'm afraid that the high-altitude detection soul guide will also suffer heavy losses in such a blizzard, or in other words, the opponent's original purpose...!
Thinking of this, Orange almost broke his teeth.

Juzi's towering chest rose and fell. She was furious. The opponent's purpose was obvious, which was to destroy their high-altitude detection soul guides and make them blind. In this raging blizzard, even the Fire Phoenix Soul Guide Corps, who were the protectors of the Sun-Moon Empire, did not dare to take off to fight. That would mean abandoning the soldiers and the camp below. With so many soldiers, even if they chose to retreat, without enough tents and supplies, the losses would inevitably be extremely heavy. Therefore, the tents must be protected, and the opponent would naturally have enough time to destroy the high-altitude detection soul guides.

This was an open conspiracy, forcing her to choose between a soldier and a high-altitude detection soul guide. Orange, very aggrieved, chose the soldier and gave up the high-altitude detection soul guide. The high-altitude detection soul guide could be built if it was gone, but caring for soldiers is a basic quality of a commander, not to mention that this commander was Orange, a marshal of a civilian origin.

Orange's guess was correct. Ji Lin was currently high in the sky, searching for a high-altitude detection soul guide outside the snowstorm.

Because of the previous exploration, the locations of these high-altitude detection soul guides are almost all in his memory. As for those within the area covered by the blizzard, he doesn't need to worry about them at all.

The closer this blizzard is to the ground, the larger the coverage area will be, but the actual power will decrease. When they are in the air, the destructive power will be even greater. Those high-altitude detection soul guides themselves are not very solid. In a blizzard of this level, the only possibility is destruction.

Ji Lin took great pains to release the ice and snow storm, but he was not aiming to cause heavy damage to the Sun Moon Empire. Moreover, with the strength of the Fire Phoenix Soul Guide Corps, a blizzard could not really threaten them. His only goal was to detect the soul guide device at high altitude.

Ji Lin's goal was achieved. The effect of this blizzard was extremely obvious. In the horrible blizzard, Orange had no hands to hinder him. He could only deal with the blizzard and protect the soldiers and tents below, giving Ji Lin enough time to destroy all the high-altitude detection soul guides in the air.

After all, this blizzard was not a natural disaster, but was caused by Ji Lin. Even though he was the owner of the ultimate ice and had the cooperation of the Snow Emperor, the darling of ice and snow in the Far North, he could not last long. The blizzard finally began to gradually subside, but the military tents of the Sun and Moon Empire that were exposed to the blizzard had already become riddled with holes.

The blizzard was raging, and the snowflakes that looked like ice blades were raging in the camp of the Sun-Moon Empire. Crazy ice blades were flying everywhere, sweeping the entire camp. The tanned cowhide tents of the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group were better off, and there was no damage at the moment.
