Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 282 The Molten Knights

The Golden Guards on the screen are led by Lu Wu and Lu Qingluan, who are the commanders of the Golden Guards. They are responsible for guarding Haiyuan City and are therefore good at defensive warfare. The soul-guided combination battle formations they use are also biased towards defense.

Each of them was equipped with a disassembleable Xuanwu Shield, which not only had powerful defensive capabilities but could also be used to control seals and even deploy soul-guided combination arrays.

The defensive formation, composed of tens of thousands of Golden Guards, possesses astonishing defensive power and can even withstand a full-force attack from Chang Li.

It should be noted that Chang Li has now reached the terrifying level of a level 99 Limit Douluo, which means that the combined forces of the Golden Guards can withstand the fierce bombardment of a level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon.

Such powerful defense is already quite astonishing.

Even the five guardians of the Sun Moon Empire wouldn't dare to easily claim that they could withstand the bombardment of a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball.

Without the mecha legion and the antimatter legion, the Golden Guard would be able to dominate the entire Douluo Continent.

This is the immense power generated by the combination of the Soul Guidance Device and the Fusion Warrior.

Apart from the original group of members, all subsequent members of the Zhijin Guard have incorporated genes that focus on defense.

Furthermore, through in-depth research into the Xuanming Sect's martial soul, they developed the Xuanwu Shield Soul Guidance Device, ranging from level five to level nine, all specializing in defensive and control capabilities, making it one of the top-tier soul guidance devices developed by Haiyuan City.

Especially the level nine Xuanwu Shield; once it controls a titled Douluo, the opponent has almost no chance of breaking free.

The main duty of the Zhijin Guard is to guard Haiyuan City and maintain its security. The Xuanwu Shield was created for this purpose.

With a soft, fragrant body in his arms, Lu Jingming naturally wouldn't behave himself. He gently pulled Chang Li's slender waist back and then focused his attention on the screen.

Seeing that the number of Zhijin Guards had exceeded 10,000 and had grown so strong, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

After all, this was the first legion he personally built, and he was naturally very happy that it had grown to such a powerful level.

Feeling the restless hand on her waist, Chang Li rolled her eyes slightly, but did not stop Lu Jingming. Instead, she continued to swipe the screen to show the deployment of other military forces in Haiyuan City.

Immediately afterwards, a legion composed of various different types of troops appeared on the screen.

Compared to the Zhijin Guard, which focuses on specialized defense, this legion is clearly more focused on combat operations. Its composition is quite complex, with different troop types complementing each other to form a tight and efficient combat system.

The first thing that catches the eye is the Wind Fist Vanguard Army, dressed in black and green soul-guided armor, having successfully fused with the genes of wind-attribute soul beasts.

Their signature weapons are a pair of soul-guided iron fists. With the help of the wind element, they can not only engage in fierce battles with enemies on the front lines and enhance the power of their attacks with the power of the wind, but also skillfully release the wind element to form a solid barrier around their teammates, providing reliable protection for them.

More importantly, the Wind Fist Vanguard also possesses the ability to purify negative status effects on teammates, greatly ensuring their combat effectiveness and survivability in complex and ever-changing combat environments.

Following the Wind Fist Vanguard Army is the Thunder Hammer Vanguard Army.

They wore purplish-black armor and wielded enormous purplish-black lightning hammers, the hammers crackling with lightning as if they contained destructive power.

This unit incorporates the genes of lightning-attribute soul beasts, enabling them to skillfully manipulate the power of lightning and deliver heavy blows to the enemy with powerful lightning-attribute attacks.

The Water Gun Heavy Guard and the Ice Gun Heavy Guard are equally noteworthy.

They respectively fused the genes of water-attribute soul beasts and ice-attribute soul beasts, and the water and ice soul guide cannons in their hands are their powerful weapons.

Water Gun Heavy Guardians can attack and control enemies using water cannons, utilizing the properties of water flow to restrict enemy movement, while Ice Gun Heavy Guardians can create icy attacks using ice cannons, freezing enemies in place and creating favorable combat conditions for their side.

Rock guerrillas serve as the legion's defensive and ranged support force.

They wield soul-guided staffs, have fused with the genes of earth-type soul beasts, and are skilled at manipulating earth elements.

Not only can it provide teammates with a solid shield to resist enemy attacks, but it can also use the power of earth element to carry out ranged attacks and suppression, flexibly adjust tactics on the battlefield, and provide all-round support for the team.

The musket guerrillas carry fire-attribute soul-guided sniper rifles. They are fused with the genes of fire-attribute soul beasts, enabling them to launch precise strikes against enemies from extremely long distances.

Fire-attribute bullets possess explosive impact and penetrating power, capable of driving enemies into a desperate situation.

In addition to these basic troop types, the legion also has many elite troop types, each of which should not be underestimated.

Fire-type debt collectors excel at assassination. They can skillfully hide in the darkness, approach their enemies like ghosts, and deliver a fatal blow.

Lightning Firefly Sorcerers and Ice Firefly Sorcerers are skilled at manipulating lightning and ice power respectively, unleashing powerful soul skill attacks to provide strong firepower support for the team in battle.

Elite units such as the Mirror Maiden, Wind Warrior, and Frost Warrior also play important roles, and their unique abilities enable the Fool Legion to maintain strong combat power in various complex environments.

Such a complex and varied combination of units allows the Fools' army to fight with ease in any environment.

In terms of overall combat strength, it is even superior to the Golden Guard, and has rightfully become the ace legion of Haiyuan City.

However, to build such a diverse legion, various different soul beast genes are needed to create Fool soldiers with different abilities.

The main provider of these soul beast genes is our Miss Gu Yue.

As the overlord of all soul beasts, as long as soul beasts are not extinct, there is no soul beast gene that she cannot obtain.

It can be said that Gu Yue's contribution accounted for half of the success in forming the Fools' Legion, which was characterized by a complete range of troop types and formidable combat power.

After all, without the rich gene pool of soul beasts she provided, where would so many strange and powerful fusion warriors come from, which are now the elite soldiers of the Fools?

At this moment, the ones leading the Fools' soldiers in training on the screen are none other than the Fools' Eleventh Executive Officer "Skywing" Yu Mengdi and the Tenth Executive Officer "Golden" Ye Wuqing.

As the first genius soul masters to pledge allegiance to Lu Jingming, Lu Jingming was extremely generous to them, providing them with everything from soul bones and holy marks to Honkai energy and all sorts of precious natural treasures.

With such abundant resources, Yu Mengdi and Ye Wuqing have made rapid progress and are now powerful at the Soul Douluo level.

Within the Fools' Legion, such strength is sufficient to qualify him for the position of Last Executive Officer.

Both of them are extremely talented, especially Ye Wuqing, whose talent is no less than that of the disciples of Shrek Academy's inner court.

With Lu Jingming's abundant resources, his progress surpassed that of the inner disciples of Shrek Academy.

After all, even the Sun Moon Empire could produce level nine Soul Masters by accumulating resources, so Lu Jingming, with his even more abundant resources, could naturally do the same.

However, considering Ye Wuqing and Yu Mengdi's long-term development, Lu Jingming did not want to over-exploit their potential. Otherwise, with his abilities, he could have directly pushed the two of them to the level of Title Douluo.

However, those titled Douluo who are promoted through "drug use" not only have questionable combat power, but also extremely limited potential for future growth.

Yu Mengdi and Ye Wuqing naturally understood this principle, so they did not blindly pursue the improvement of their soul power level.

On weekdays, the two train like crazy in the simulated universe, trying to learn how to use various soul tools, and also trying to create their own soul skills to continuously improve their overall strength.

Otherwise, given the fierce competition within the Fools' Legion, they would find it difficult to secure their positions as executive officers.

Although these are only the last two positions, many people in the entire Sea Abyss City are eyeing them, especially among the fusion warriors within the Fools' Clan, where many elite soldiers are coveting these two posts. Of course, there are still quite a few vacant positions among the eleven executive officers of the Fools' Clan, and some positions were even temporarily filled by Ke Qing, Gan Yu, and others out of a mischievous sense of humor by Lu Jingming, and they will eventually be handed over to more suitable people.

In this fiercely competitive environment, the Fools Legion constantly produces strong individuals, which is an important reason why it has become the ace legion of Abyss City.

Every soldier in the legion could serve as a mid-level officer in the armies of other empires.

Chang Li slapped away Lu Jingming's restless hand that was trying to climb onto her thigh with a bit of annoyance, and then gently swiped the screen again, and the picture changed accordingly.

This time, the Night Return Army appeared on the screen. They were dressed in modern equipment and were skilled in operating various advanced equipment such as soul-guided detectors, soul-guided drones, and soul-guided combat vehicles.

This legion is mainly responsible for logistics and support work, but it also possesses formidable combat power, after all, they are equipped with the most advanced soul-guided equipment.

The Night Return Army has reached a size of 30,000, making it the largest legion at present.

They had a clear division of labor: one group was responsible for intelligence gathering, using advanced soul-guided detectors and drones to penetrate deep into enemy territory to collect intelligence.

One group operates various large-scale soul-guided devices to provide necessary logistical support to the front lines.

Another group is responsible for long-range strike support, providing long-range firepower suppression to the enemy at critical moments.

The Fools' Legion is mainly responsible for combat, the Golden Guard for defense, and the Night Return Legion for intelligence and logistics. These are the three major legions of Haiyuan City at present.

Each of these 50,000 troops is an elite force that has undergone rigorous selection and training.

Although their numbers are not as numerous as those of other empires, which often number in the hundreds of thousands or even millions, their fighting strength should not be underestimated.

In the simulated universe exercises, this army of 50,000 demonstrated astonishing strength, and they were fully capable of defeating the Northwest Army Group stationed in the Mingdou Mountains, which was responsible for defending against the Sun Moon Empire.

It should be noted that the Northwest Army Group was led by Duke White Tiger and is the strongest army group in the Star Luo Empire, with a strength of around 300,000.

That is why they were given the important task of defending against the Sun and Moon Empire.

Meanwhile, the three legions of Haiyuan City, in the simulated universe battle, faced the Northwest Army Group, including its two major Soul Master legions and several Title Douluos, as well as the renowned Duke White Tiger personally leading the army, and were still able to defeat them with unstoppable momentum, demonstrating their powerful combat capabilities.

In fact, in the simulated universe, the three legions of Abyss City have conducted numerous simulated battles with the elite legions of various empires, collecting a wealth of information about the armies of the major empires.

The results showed that, apart from the five powerful guardians of the Sun Moon Empire, who were somewhat troublesome, the armies of the Star Luo Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Fighting Spirit Empire were no match for the three legions of the Sea Abyss City.

It can be said that, in terms of military strength alone, Haiyuan City is already very powerful, and this trend of power is still expanding.

Although Chang Li had stopped him before, Lu Jingming would not give up easily.

His right hand slowly moved up Chang Li's lower abdomen, sneaking inside his clothes, and finally reaching the righteous spot that looked down upon the entire Haiyuan City.

Chang Li looked helpless, shifted her body slightly to a more comfortable position, and pretended not to see Lu Jingming's mischievous hand, taking it as a treat for the little guy.

Finally, a special legion appeared on the Soul Guidance Screen; this legion consisted of only five hundred people.

Upon seeing this legion, Lu Jingming immediately sat up straight, hugged Chang Li tightly, and unconsciously tightened his right hand.

Chang Li winced in pain and couldn't help but groan, glaring at Lu Jingming with annoyance.

Lu Jingming realized that he had been too excited just now, and his face showed embarrassment, his eyes full of apology.

But he could hardly contain his excitement, because the army on the screen was simply too awe-inspiring.

In the military camp, five hundred silver-white mechs, each over three meters tall, stood in neat rows. This was Lu Jingming's meticulously crafted absolute trump card—the Molten Knights.

The pilots of these five hundred mechs are all fusion warriors at the Soul Saint level or above, and their loyalty to Lu Jingming is extremely high.

These mechs are all based on the Sam mech of Firefly. They have the ability to recognize their master, resonate with their master, achieve symbiosis, and even grow together with their master.

Its raw material comes from the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal underground in the Dragon Gate, and it is the best of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals. It is a kind of active metal with spirituality, which is extremely precious.

The mech is equipped with a Honkai energy furnace, providing powerful power support, and is also equipped with a converged beam cannon that can fire powerful energy beams to deliver devastating blows to enemies from a distance.

It is also equipped with a plasma sword, demonstrating powerful lethality in close combat. It also has an anti-gravity field, a spatial phase transfer device, and a stellar propulsion system, which greatly enhances the mech's mobility and battlefield survivability.

It can be said that the combat power of each mecha is comparable to that of an ordinary Title Douluo.

The Molten Knights, these five hundred mechs are equivalent to five hundred powerful warriors with the combat strength of a Title Douluo.

In the past, such a force would have been able to sweep across the entire Douluo Continent.

Even in this special period of the Holy Grail War, the existence of Servants may affect its invincible status to some extent, but this power is still enough for Abyss City to establish its hegemonic position in future wars.

This is an absolute ace knight order that Lu Jingming has accumulated over many years and built with massive resources. It is also an important asset for the future of Haiyuan City.

With such immense power, Lu Jingming naturally wouldn't easily entrust it to others.

The leader of the Molten Knights is Liu Ying; only she can make Lu Jingming feel at ease.

After all, these Molten Mechs were created based on Firefly's Sam Mech. Firefly has the underlying control over all the mechs, and even if the mechs have recognized her, they cannot escape her control.

Of course, if the mech can evolve along with its master and reach a certain level, it can break free from the control of the lower level and gain freedom.

But when that time comes, Lu Jingming will naturally have other ways to tame the pilots and mechs.

After all, those who can evolve mechs must be exceptional individuals, so it is only natural to give them better treatment.

Moreover, these mecha pilots are all fusion warriors. They were reborn because of Lu Jingming and are extremely loyal to him.

As long as Lu Jingming doesn't court disaster or become incompetent and foolish, the chances of them betraying him are almost zero.

With multiple safeguards in place, this powerful Molten Knights were completely under Lu Jingming's control.

With such a powerful force at its disposal, even if the upcoming war inevitably spreads across the entire continent, Haiyuan City can rest easy.

Even the antimatter legion, limited by materials and energy, would likely not reach the level of a cosmic catastrophe like those in the original universe, even without its own destruction.

Therefore, Lu Jingming was not too worried that the antimatter legion would ruin this planet.

Even though Xingxiao also controls a lot of high technology, as a memory entity, her memories are actually incomplete and cannot be compared with the Black Tower, which has complete memories.

After all, he is the Great Lord of Annihilation, who is skilled in commanding troops and fighting. The technological power of the Antimatter Legion is not to be underestimated. Starships, anti-star weapons, and all kinds of cosmic high technology, any one of them can make the Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology advance by leaps and bounds.

However, Xingxiao clearly did not take the Sun Moon Empire seriously and simply used it as a tool.
