Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 233 I want to get full marks on this open-book exam! Enemy Attack!

"Captain, this is it!"

The dark forest path is separated by quiet bamboo forests on both sides, and there are continuous mountains below. Looking around, it looks like a mountain range of ten thousand miles, all covered by bamboo forests.

Just at the end of the bamboo forest, on the edge of the cliff, the air seemed to fluctuate, and three tall, scarlet figures suddenly emerged in the transparent air.

It was Orange who set out on the expedition, and the other two were her trusted confidants whom she had appointed in recent days.

Although they are all recommended by Huo Qing, this can also save a lot of trouble.

"It seems that these people are all together. No, they have been prepared for this battle long ago." A female voice sounded from the leading red mecha. It was as clear as an oriole, but mixed with a hint of the coldness of war. It was obvious that Orange had quickly integrated into the military camp life these days.

"Yes, through the soul power detection of the drone, we detected five eighth-level Soul Douluos, seventeen Soul Saints, and many Soul Emperors. Fortunately, there are fewer low-level soul masters. The number of those with soul power fluctuations is barely one thousand, including great soul masters..." Another voice sounded from the red mecha on the side.

Inside the mecha.

A short-haired woman slid the light curtain rapidly with her hands, constantly shrinking and enlarging it. The light curtain synchronized with the image of the unmanned soul guide in the air. Even though this place was in a bamboo forest, under the detection of the soul power source, the soul masters hidden under the bamboo forest were like stripped naked, exposed naked to the sight of the Fire Phoenix Soul Guide Corps.

"As for the so-called 100,000 troops, they are nothing but a bunch of losers and cannot withstand a single blow. In my opinion, we should just coordinate our defenses and push them forward. We can resolve the battle within a few days." The short-haired girl swiped the screen again, a look of disdain flashing across her pretty face.

"I don't think so." A short-haired girl with a cold expression spoke from the mecha on the other side.

"Hey, hey, hey, you just have to go against me, right?" the former said angrily.

"Okay, Linglong, let Biling tell us what she thinks." Orange finally spoke, his eyes gazing leisurely at the vast mountain road below.

"Yes!" Linglong shut up instantly. On the battlefield, the boss's orders had absolute authority. Besides, Orange's prestige in the mecha battalion was quite high, which was gained through actual fighting in recent battles. It was by no means "airborne" or "gilded" fancy words.

"Battalion Commander, we only have one soul guide regiment with more than a thousand people in total. Among those with Titled Douluo and above combat power, there is only one soul guide regiment leader, four level eight soul guides, and sixteen level seven soul guides (not including the mecha battalion for the time being). The number of level five and six soul guides below them crushes them, and we have an additional combat force. Our mecha battalion has more than a hundred level seven soul guides, who have advantages such as flexibility, agility, long-range coverage, etc..." Biling said indifferently.

"As for the strong fighting, we are not at all afraid of the opponent. After all, the strength of soul masters lies in their ability to gather together. In terms of the battle mode, they crush the traditional soul masters."

Biling stared at Orange with her bright eyes.

The latter pondered for a moment, "I understand what you mean, you want to give up the linkage defense soul guide and slowly grind, and take the initiative to attack, right?"

"Whether the battalion commander wants to be a vase or a commander who is truly invincible on the battlefield and trusted by the empire will be decided in this battle." Biling said softly.

"..." Upon hearing this, Juzi clenched his fists slightly.

She can still remember clearly every detail of what Xu Cheng told her when he came. This is happiness for a lover, but for a general who is determined to fight on the battlefield, it is a shame.

She wanted Xu Cheng's love, but definitely not in the form of a vase, but as a real pillar, the support of the empire.

She wanted to be the female general standing in front of Xu Cheng.

Of course, she would never be stupid enough to cut ties with Xu Cheng, and then act like a naive person, mumbling "I have to rely on myself" and rejecting all political resources with disdain, just like what was played in the drama.

She will seize every opportunity given by Xu Cheng and strive to climb higher. Since fate has given her the opportunity, wouldn't it be better to have success in both love and career?

Standing on the shoulders of giants, we can have a higher and broader vision and better realize our potential, right?
And this time, it is indeed an open-book exam.

Xu Cheng appointed a general and asked her to directly command the entire regiment from the position of battalion commander of the first battalion, bypassing the soul guide regiment leader Huo Qing, and to wipe out the combined forces of three or four dukes, but only used the power of one beast soul guide regiment. Everyone knew that he was testing her.

I'm afraid that at this moment, the eyes of the entire Mingdu are focused here.

Everyone wants to see what kind of results the person selected by Xu Cheng will achieve.

Using the linked defensive soul guide... Although this is the most stable way to fight, with almost no casualties, it is extremely slow (the flaw of the linked defensive soul guide). After all, if you can advance, they can also retreat. At most, they can fight and run like guerrilla warfare, which will really make them a laughing stock. (In the original book, they didn't retreat because they were on their own territory. If they retreated, the country would really be destroyed.)
Orange looked determined, "In that case, we will take the lead in the surprise attack! We will not fight a defensive battle of attrition."

"The longer they delay, the better it is for them. After all, this is the territory of Duke Silver Feather. As one of the rebels, he can continuously dispatch manpower and material resources."

Are ordinary people really useless?
Not necessarily.

After all, as cannon fodder, you have to consume your own soul power when using soul guides. In the original novel, ordinary soldiers were chasing Orange and his companions everywhere. Every time Orange used a fourth-level soul guide cannon, it could cover an area of ​​100 square meters, consuming nearly 100 ordinary soldiers. The Brilliant Grand Duke Chunchun used these people to fill the soul guide cannon and consume his soul power.

So it cannot be completely ignored.

"If we fail to defeat the opponent in one go, the morale in subsequent battles will continue to be low, so we must make a concerted effort." Orange narrowed her beautiful eyes, with a hint of determination in her voice.

"Get ready to go down, we will launch a general attack in half an hour!"...

In the dense bamboo forest.

A traditional soul master yawned.

"These days, I can't eat enough and I can't sleep well." He said impatiently.

“Come on, the Duke has been very kind in order to hurry on the journey. Do you think it was like the past? Are you still your soul master in the small town? Now I’m afraid you may even lose your life. Aren’t you and I, the soul masters who are placed in the front, just cannon fodder? It’s a pity that we were lazy back then and only reached the realm of great soul masters. Otherwise, once we squeezed into the realm of soul lord, we could join the elite forces. It’s not much better than being cannon fodder.” Another old soul master curled his lips.

"Just you? This thing depends on talent. You are already fifty years old and you are only a level 24 Great Soul Master. Even if you reach level 29, do you know how many geniuses are stuck in the Soul Venerable realm?"

As one soul master revealed the truth, all the soul masters burst into laughter.

The old soul master also felt ashamed and stopped making excuses.

"But if the dukes win, we will also be credited with following the dragon!" A soul master smacked his lips and said expectantly.

"Hahaha, yeah, I heard from outsiders how powerful the Mingdu soul guides are, but I don't think so. I have seen those so-called soul guides, and their range and power are quite limited. They can penetrate the Mingdou Mountains. They are purely the work of the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao." Someone else said.

"Is it true? If so, wouldn't I be able to break into Mingdu and taste what the girls there are like?" the former said excitedly.

"Hehe, it seems that Dai Hao is just a name in vain. As the Dukes of the five provinces unite, why should we pay tribute to Mingdu? When the time comes, we will drag Xu Cheng out and hang his body on the city wall. Hehehe... I heard that his women are younger than the other."

"There is one this time. I heard that the woman leading the Fire Phoenix Soul Guidance Group is named Juzi, and she is one of Xu Cheng's women. The Fire Phoenix Soul Guidance Group is composed entirely of women, and they all look good."

"..."

The old soul master looked at the heated discussion among the crowd and shook his head helplessly, like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky.

Perhaps he was the only one among this group of people who had truly witnessed the power of soul masters. This was because when he was young, he happened to encounter a battle between two soul masters while hunting soul beasts in the Demon Forest. Although he was weak and didn't know the levels of the two men, he and his uncle were stunned by the aftermath of the battle, with dozens of soul guide cannons firing at each other. They would never forget it until they woke up and saw the remains of trees left not far away.

He smacked his lips and took out a pancake to fill his stomach.

But I seemed to hear a strange buzzing sound.

"Is it a soul beast?"

The old soul master's expression tensed up. His martial soul was a rat, and his hearing and sense of smell were very sensitive, which allowed him to avoid many fatal dangers...

He squatted down, leaned carefully against a thick bamboo, and looked towards the source of the noise in the distance.

The edges of his eyes were grayish-white, his eyelids were slightly wrinkled, and his pupils were shrunk into needle-like shapes, reflecting a silver-white humming machine in the sky above the bamboo forest. His beard trembled slightly with the breeze generated by the machine's rotors.

"This is……"

The old soul master relaxed for a moment, because this was not a human soul master, nor a soul beast.

Just as he was frowning and looking at the silver-white device, metal tubes appeared from inside. There were at least hundreds of silver-white machines in the sky, and each machine had four gun barrels protruding from it. This scene made him shrink his neck unconsciously.

Because an extremely sharp breath seemed to lock onto him, no, it should be said that it locked onto this land.

"No!!!" The old soul master suddenly recognized the silver-white machine. It was just like the soul guide he saw in the Demon Forest twenty years ago. The hollow bulge and the strangely shaped tube mouth were emitting devastating rays.

The only difference is that the gun barrels used to be carried by soul masters, but now the gun barrels... are carried by machines.

The old soul master only felt his throat dry and his face was terrified.

Just when he felt his blood vessels boiling and the feeling of fear completely enveloped his heart, a burning feeling enveloped the earth. At the mouth of the metal pipe, a dazzling light lit up, and he called out with his last bit of strength.

"Enemy attack!!!"

……

ps: In the original novel, the Grand Duke of Glory had an almost pure soul master system, without any soul guides involved, and even ordinary people were using the most primitive bows and arrows, without even a crossbow... So these soul masters who were temporarily transferred from small towns were assumed to have never seen soul guides. This was similar to the Three Kingdoms in the original continent (soul guides were also relatively popular in Xingluo Imperial Capital, but they were extinct in small towns), which were all deformed systems caused by the martial soul system.
