Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 404 The Last Battle

The Sun Moon Empire's army halted outside Shrek City. Orange stood atop the Soul Guidance Chariot, gazing in the direction of Shrek City.

In the city, a giant golden tree stands, its branches reaching from the heavens and the earth, so tall that even the city walls cannot obstruct its view.

“Shrek City,” Orange repeated softly.

"Marshal, please rest for a moment, Grand Preceptor. I am willing to be the vanguard and give it a try." Xu Tianyuan, the legion commander of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps, stepped forward, his eyes filled with fervor as he looked at Lin Xiao.

Ever since Lin Xiao defeated the Royal Dragon Soul Master Group in the Demon Forest, his image has remained in Xu Tianyuan's mind, lingering there for a long time.

At first, it was just his fear of Lin Xiao, but as Lin Xiao became the Grand Preceptor of the Sun Moon Empire and no longer concealed his identity, that fear changed slightly.

Especially in the past few days, the Sun Moon Empire's army, led by Lin Xiao, has been unstoppable, almost taking over all of the Heavenly Soul Empire's territory.

"No rush." ​​Ju Zi raised her hand to stop Xu Tianyuan, who was about to make a move, and turned to look at Lin Xiao beside her.

However, while the Sun Moon Empire was in no hurry to attack, the people on the Shrek City walls were feeling somewhat tormented.

For some reason, the army of the Sun and Moon Empire stopped advancing and came to a stop right at the edge of their attack range.

That's not because the soul-guided cannon can't reach that area, but because at that distance, the power of the soul-guided cannon would be greatly reduced, making it easy for the opponent to intercept.

On the city wall, Fan Yu walked past a group of Soul Masters, watching them manipulate the Soul Guidance Cannons to aim at the direction of the Sun Moon Empire. Looking at the dark mass of troops, he felt a sense of helplessness.

He spent more than two years at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy and learned a great deal from it.

But it was precisely because of this that he understood even more the gap between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Empire.

He was certain that the distance chosen by the Sun Moon Empire's army was not "just right" or "coincidental," but rather that someone had immediately discerned the specific data of the soul-guided cannons on Shrek City's walls.

Even though Huo Yuhao obtained many blueprints for soul tools during his two-year exchange student period, which enabled Shrek Academy to replicate a batch of soul tools and greatly improve soul tool technology.

However, the Sun Moon Empire's thousands of years of accumulation and the experience of countless Soul Masters cannot be learned in the way Huo Yuhao did.

Of course, it wasn't just the Sun Moon Empire's army outside Shrek City; many experts from the three great empires were also gathered nearby.

Since withdrawing from Tiandou City a few days ago, no one has been able to stop the army of the Sun Moon Empire in these short few days.

She had repeatedly asked Shrek Academy for help, but she had not seen any experts from Shrek Academy. All she received was Shrek Academy's response that they were prepared to defend the city.

Faced with the overwhelming force of the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy certainly wouldn't stand idly by. But Xuanzi also knew that if the enemy could defeat Poison Undying, he himself wouldn't stand a chance either.

Only by relying on the wonders of Shrek City can the Sun Moon Empire's attack be completely stopped.

Sending away the others from Shrek City was also to better utilize the wonders of Shrek Academy.

But if even this cannot stop the Sun and Moon Empire's attack...

In front of the Sea God Pavilion, Xuanzi shook his head, not continuing to think about it. He had never thought of such an outcome, and it was absolutely impossible for it to happen.

At this moment, not only him, but many people in the three great empires shared the same thought: This might be the last direct confrontation between the Sun Moon Empire and the three great empires.

"Lin'er, Mei'er, go quickly."

After saying this, Xuanzi turned and flew towards the top of Shrek City.

"Marshal, what are we waiting for?"

In the center of the Sun Moon Empire's army, Xu Tianyuan was already getting restless. The attacks of the past few days had made him realize that war could be so easy. As the goal of unifying the Douluo Continent was getting closer and closer, many people like him were filled with excitement.

Orange glanced at the time leisurely.

"Wait a little longer, the news should be coming back soon."

"News? What news?" Xu Tianyuan was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Ju Zi would have other plans when the Sun Moon Empire's attack was going so smoothly.

Just then, a messenger suddenly approached Orange.

"Reporting to the Marshal, the Royal Soul Guidance Corps has sent word that they have bypassed Yuming City in their underwater soul guidance vehicles and entered the Star Luo Empire along the coast, and are about to complete the encirclement of Yuming City."

"Alright." Orange's eyes finally lit up as she looked at Lin Xiao. Seeing him nod slightly, she raised her voice a few decibels, "Pass down the order to prepare for the siege of Shrek City. Remember, only besiege, do not attack. Wait for my command."

"Yes!"

The messenger took the order and left. Orange clenched her fist slightly. Even she felt a little excited at this moment.

Just as most people thought, the final battle between the Sun Moon Empire and the three great empires was indeed about to begin, but the battlefield was not in Shrek City.

Even though Lin Xiao had almost invinciblely defeated various experts from the three great empires during this period, he was still somewhat wary of Shrek Academy. He knew Shrek Academy's secrets better than anyone else.

It's not just the power contained within the Golden Tree, but also what lies behind it. It stands like an unshakeable defensive line on the Lima Plain, halting the advance of the Sun Moon Empire.

However, in Lin Xiao's memories of his previous life, there was also an unbreakable line of defense, and the way to deal with it was extremely simple: just go around it.

Similarly, although Shrek Academy has its own territory and does not belong to any of the three great empires, it is merely a city. Its existence or non-existence has no bearing on the Sun Moon Empire's unification of the Douluo Continent.

While the Shrek Academy students were drawn to the approaching army of the Sun Moon Empire, and while most of the experts from the three great empires were focused on this battle, the real battlefield had already unfolded behind the Star Luo Empire.

With Yuming City sealed off, the southern army of the Sun Moon Empire could rush into the territory of the Star Luo Empire without any scruples, only to find an undefended plain awaiting them.

Everyone was waiting for Lin Xiao and the experts from Shrek Academy to settle their score, and the people of the Sun Moon Empire were also looking forward to Lin Xiao proving the worth of soul tools.

But Lin Xiao himself knew that he came to the front lines not to defeat anyone, nor to argue about whether a Soul Master or a Soul Instructor was superior.

His goal has always been singular, and now that news of the Royal Soul Master Corps has arrived, he is close to achieving it.

When the Star Luo Empire's territory falls, its army becomes nothing more than a rootless duckweed.
