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

Chapter 259 The war is coming
"Congratulations to His Majesty the Crown Prince."

It is still Xu Cheng's residence, but the plaque in front has been changed to "Eastern Palace". Perhaps Xu Zhen wanted to highlight Xu Cheng's privileges. Compared with the plaque of the former crown prince Xu Tianran, this one looks more simple and majestic, and was written by Xu Zhen himself.

Inside the mansion.

Xu Jiangnian bowed slightly.

"Uncle Jiang, why are you so polite?" Xu Cheng helped Xu Jiangnian up with a smile. Because of Zhang Lexuan, their relationship became closer, and Xu Cheng did not show any dissatisfaction at all, and was even happy to move forward.

"Hehe..." Xu Jiangnian's mouth twitched.

He glanced at his dignified and generous sister standing beside Xu Cheng.

It really is a matter of individual opinion, right?

I call you brother-in-law and you call me Uncle Jiang?
The two of them were like a married couple and welcomed Xu Jiangnian in.

Picking up the tea poured by the waiter and drinking it all in one gulp, Xu Jiangnian also showed the demeanor of a scholarly general.

"Alright, I won't waste any more words. Now that the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince have all been deposed, it is almost impossible for them to make a comeback. Although you were in a dominant position before, it was not legitimate. Now you can rest assured."

"I came here mainly to tell Your Highness: You did the right thing. As the crown prince, you must make decisions on your own. Your majesty cannot be violated. I am here to help you. As for the fourth brother and Tianran, it is up to you to decide whether to kill them or not."

"By the way, the Crown Prince is now the Regent, so I can relax a little..."

"..."

Xu Cheng was silent for a while.

My cheap dad is really a sober person.

He is indeed an old fox.

He keeps saying that he doesn't care whether to kill or not, but how can he really not care?

This move is a retreat, and it is the last bit of fatherly love.

However, if he were in Xu Zhen's position, could he do better?

I'm afraid it's difficult...

"The Royal Soul Guidance Group is at your disposal at any time!"

And Xu Jiangnian's last sentence made Xu Cheng completely relieved.

This is a complete handover of power.

The Royal Soul Guide Corps has always been stationed near the imperial palace. They are there to guard successive emperors, similar to the Imperial Guards. You can imagine how important they are.

but……

"Father's condition has worsened?" Xu Cheng frowned slightly.

"Not bad." Xu Jiangnian sighed lightly.

"..."

Xu Cheng still felt a little reluctant to part with his cheap father.

After all, he has helped him so much along the way and has never wavered, even for the Sun Moon Empire. But as a beneficiary, Xu Cheng cannot remain indifferent.

but……

Wait a minute.

"Here are the details of the Royal Soul Guide Corps. Your Highness, please take a look." Xu Jiangnian handed over a list.

"Four level nine soul masters, one chief, three deputy chiefs, seven level eight soul masters, twenty-seven level seven soul masters... a total of more than a thousand people, divided into five battalions."

Xu Cheng's eyes narrowed.

As expected, they are worthy of being called the Royal Soul Guide Corps, the most powerful soul guide corps without a doubt.

Just looking at the top management, it is comparable to the other four beast soul guide groups combined, and it is worthy of being controlled by the emperors of all dynasties. If it is controlled by a prince or a prince, I am afraid that the emperor of the current dynasty will have to tremble in fear when sleeping in the middle of the night.

"With this list, I can feel more at ease about the college competition the day after tomorrow..." Xu Cheng smiled.

"Your Majesty means the same thing." Xu Jiangnian nodded slightly.

"In that case, you will guard the southeastern sides of Mingdu. Remember, you don't have to stop the top powerhouses, but ordinary Titled Douluo and below, no one is allowed in."

"The last general takes command!"

Xu Jiangnian stood up solemnly, half-knelt on the ground and shouted.

……

Deep underground in Mingdu, countless armored guards stood on both sides of the long and narrow corridor.

In the corridor, countless guards came and went, carrying some huge soul guide cannons, or spare parts, loading soul guide cannon shells and the like.

"Be careful! Don't bump into anything..." a non-commissioned officer shouted.

This is one of the four major arsenals of the Sun-Moon Empire.

The order was given to relocate the area, and even a large part of it would be used in the battle, which shows the importance of this war.

The entrance to the weapons depot.

Another team of guards marched in.

"Xing Yi, the captain of the third company of the second battalion of the Royal Soul Guidance Corps, is reporting in!"

A middle-aged man who looked like a non-commissioned officer in the first row saluted.

"Hello, please register."

The soldier guarding the armory saluted and handed over a small notebook.

"The higher-ups are very generous this time, let me see... Our company alone can get three level-seven fixed-type soul guide cannons, seven level-seven incandescent rays, a first-generation mecha, a fully automatic turret... and each person will get five bottles of the same level, an invincible shield, and a set of soul guide armor of the same level. Wow, this is the first time that I, Xingyi, have fought such a rich battle." Xingyi glanced at the list and sighed repeatedly.

"Of course, the main thing is to get it in my hands..."

He is somewhat familiar with others.

"Have you ever been poor?" The armory officer grinned. "It's just that the Fire Phoenix has risen in recent years, but it hasn't shaken your position much."

"Hey, it's hard to explain."

Xingyi shook his head, signed, and led the team into the armory.

"When you receive it, report your level and martial spirit. Melee soul masters also have corresponding soul guides... As for you."

He glanced at the end of the queue, and saw a hint of hesitation on the obviously young face.

"I'll give you one last chance! It's not too late to leave the team now! You were recommended by Her Royal Highness the Princess to come and experience military life. No one expected that a war would come. Logically speaking, your name is not even on the roster of the military headquarters, so it's not considered deserting the battlefield."

"Leave this matter to us. Young people should read more books and study soul guides so that they can better serve the country in the future."

Hearing this, many people in the queue looked at Huo Yuhao.

With a face of only thirteen or fourteen years old, he really stood out among the adults.

“My life was given to me by the Sun-Moon Empire. Now that I’m in danger, I have no reason to retreat!” Huo Yuhao said solemnly.

"I won't retreat!"

"...Alas, you have never seen the cruelty of war, little boy." Xingyi sighed. Although his tone was impolite, it was much softer.

War is cruel.

But in today's tense atmosphere, young people who can still be so tenacious are definitely a minority.

“Captain! My ability is very special. Everyone has seen it. I can calibrate the accuracy of soul guides and detect the enemy’s situation. Although I only have the strength of a Soul Sect and a fourth-level soul guide, the role I can play will definitely exceed yours!” Huo Yuhao shouted.

"The country is in danger, I have no reason to retreat!"

"What are you doing!"

A shout sounded.

"Your Highness!" Xingyi bowed hastily.

Xu Tianzhen ignored him and walked over angrily, followed by Juzi and others.

She grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm and tried to pull him away.

But the latter was as solid as a rock, not moving at all.

“Let’s go!” Xu Tianzhen looked into Huo Yuhao’s eyes, his voice trembling slightly.

“I’m not leaving!” Huo Yuhao shook his head, his face serious. “Since you’ve joined, why do you hide behind when you need me?”

"You..." Xu Tianzhen was furious.

"Then I won't leave either!"

"Get me a set of soul guide armor, I want to stay too!"

"Your Highness..." Xing Yi was overwhelmed. He dared to put the only princess of the royal family on the front line. Even the leader of the Royal Soul Guidance Corps, his immediate superior, would be in trouble.
