Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's youthful innocence, I tricked her into becoming my wife

“It takes time to mobilize troops,” Qian Renxue said in a deep voice. “All our forces are currently being mobilized from the nearest fortress.”

"If we were to gather elite reinforcements from elsewhere, it would take at least seven days."

"During this gap, our existing forces are scattered to guard the circular defense line, making it extremely easy for them to be breached."

“This is indeed a problem,” Davis said, troubled.

The high-ranking generals also frowned when they heard their prince's discussion.

Ye Hua smiled. "If you're not afraid, I can call in some surprise troops to help."

“Hey,” Davis perked up, “I’m still curious, who was the surprise force you mentioned back then?”

"Since they obey you, what's there to be afraid of? Just bring them out!"

"You said it yourself," Ye Hua said helplessly when he saw that Ye Hua didn't take it seriously.

"Hurry, Night Lord," Davis said with a wry smile, "our strength is simply insufficient!"

Ye Hua waved his hand. "Alright."

In the distance, the open space ripples.

The sound of hurried footsteps made Davis and the others frown.

The military emphasizes discipline and strict adherence to orders!

Can such noisy footsteps really indicate a strong army?

But out of consideration for Ye Hua, they dared not say it outright.

But when a surprise force appears—

"!!!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

Chapter 276 You humans are the scary ones!

One after another, enormous, snow-white bears came trudging through the snow, panting heavily.

In an instant, the allied forces, who were just immersed in the joy of victory, were in complete chaos!

The gunners in the front row instinctively raised their pistols, and the soul masters in the back row immediately summoned their martial souls!

Even Davis's personal guards rushed to stand in front of him, drawing their swords!

"Soul Beast!"

So many soul beasts!

"Form ranks! Form ranks!"

Ye Hua raised his hand. "Calm down, everyone. I called them."

Davis pushed aside his personal guards, "Don't move, trust the Night Alliance Leader!"

Xue Qinghe also spoke up, "Don't panic, General, maintain discipline!"

Two princes intervened and the disturbance was quelled.

But the coalition forces remained vigilant and on high alert.

“Night Lord,” Davis took a deep breath, “these are your…bears?”

“That makes sense,” Ye Hua shrugged. “You haven’t forgotten that I’m also a soul beast in human form, have you?”

“Heh, well,” Davis said, rubbing his forehead, “I really forgot.”

“You are too human-like, with no trace of soul beast habits or the wariness that soul beasts have towards humans.”

Ye Hua didn't argue with him; instead, he used his mental power to establish a communication channel.

“This is the Arctic Bear tribe,” Ye Hua explained. “Their tribe was corrupted, and I rescued them.”

“Defending this line of defense is also protecting their own homeland, so you can rest assured.”

Davis hesitated, staring at the group of bears.

The snowball burst out of the Oscar Soul Ring, tilting its head.

"Hey, what are you humans afraid of?" Xue Tuan said gruffly.

The voice was translated into Davis's mind by Ye Hua's "spiritual sharing".

"We don't eat people, and those monsters are our enemies!"

"Isn't having a common enemy enough to reassure you?"

"Humans," the leading bear declared, "you can rest assured."

"We obey Qilin... Lord Yehua, and will never disobey!"

Davis gestured for his guards to sheathe their swords, his expression complex.

He looked at Xue Qinghe, but the other party remained expressionless.

Ye Hua began, "You've all heard of the Soul System, haven't you? It's already being promoted."

"In the future, humans will only interact with soul beasts more and more."

"It's just a matter of bringing the time forward a little."

As soon as the words were spoken, the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire, who came from humble backgrounds, lowered their guard slightly.

They have heard that this spirit has destroyed the very foundations of noble families and sects!

This group monopolizes resources, believes in the law of the jungle, and treats them like dirt!

If the goal is to acquire souls in the future, then making contact with soul beasts in advance is perfectly acceptable.

However, the soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire were less responsive. After all, the rumor about the Heavenly Dou Empire was that Ye Hua would rely on the Soul System to seize control of the empire.

Qian Renxue was silent for a moment before speaking first, "I have no objection."

“The defense line needs to be guarded, and the soul beasts need to help. I have no reason to refuse.”

Since his granddaughter had spoken, Qian Daoliu naturally wouldn't undermine her.

Davis rubbed his face. "Okay! I believe you!"

"Then they're under your command." Ye Hua waved his hand, signaling the ice bears to come forward.

But then Davis saw a large number of soul beasts behind the ice bear!

Arctic ferret, frigid snow eagle, Titan snow demon...

Davis was terrified!

It seems that Ye Hua holds a transcendent position among the soul beasts!

With the garrison situation resolved, the army began taking turns on duty.

The abyss could attack at any moment, so no one dared to let their guard down.

Taking turns on duty is a wise choice to preserve combat effectiveness in the face of a protracted war.

However, important figures like Ye Hua and Qian Renxue naturally do not need to be on duty.

To establish his public image and solidify his position as crown prince, Davis actively participated in rotation.

The Soul Masters of Arctic Town and those around Ye Hua were assigned to the same camp.

Qian Renxue also brought in several hundred elite troops to serve under his command.

Although Ye Hua's complexion remained normal, he was somewhat tired after maintaining the [Blood Fiend] for more than two hours.

After handing the things to Tie Xiong, he hugged Wang Qiu'er and went back to rest.

Wang Qiu'er didn't have a half-plane, so she desperately used the Golden Dragon Spear to devour the soul power, urgently needing to digest it.

The duty of guarding the area fell to others.

Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Oscar, Via, and a few soul beasts took on the first round of guard duty.

Their camp was located on a high slope in the northwest of Shenkeng, offering a wide field of vision and making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Shui Bing'er sat by the fire, her blue curly hair gently ruffled by the night breeze, holding a cup of hot ginger tea in her hands.

Shuiyue'er huddled in her sister's arms, only her eyes showing, watching the surrounding soul beasts warily.

Via also placed the Three-Eyed Icefire Gun across her lap. "They really won't pounce on us?"

“No,” Oscar shook his head. “You have to trust Teacher Ye.”

Seeing Oscar bring out Ye Hua, the blood-red light flashed and the remnants of the painting appeared.

"By the way, you came to the far north with Teacher Ye to obtain souls. Have you decided what kind?" Oscar looked at Shui Bing'er.

Shui Bing'er shook her head. "I had made up my mind, but something happened in the far north forest, and my dream soul beast may be gone."

“Oh,” Oscar said regretfully, “me too, I want a soul beast that can fight.”

"But there are very few soul beasts that can both match my martial soul and have combat power."

"With this kind of unexpected turn of events, it might be even harder to find a suitable candidate!"

Shui Bing'er sighed, "Let's take it one step at a time."

"If all else fails, I'll go to Sunset Forest!"

"Although there are few ice elemental soul beasts there, we can always find some!"

“That’s true,” Oscar said, changing the subject when he saw the heavy atmosphere. He pulled Via aside and said, “By the way, Via, these two are also old friends.”

"We've faced off before in the All-Continent Elite Advanced Soul Master Tournament!"

"Especially Shui Bing'er, the captain of the Tianshui team, once teamed up with their vice captain Xue Wu to use a martial soul fusion technique that gave us a real headache!"

“That’s all in the past,” Shui Bing’er shrugged. “However, Xue Wu was sent out by the family for training.”

"My partner for my current Martial Soul Fusion Skill has changed to my sister."

"Huh?!" Oscar was stunned. "Can the Soul Fusion Skill partner be changed?"

“Of course,” Shui Bing’er nodded. “Shui Yue’er and I are connected by blood and our hearts are in sync!”

"Even martial souls have similarities, so naturally they can use martial soul fusion techniques!"

“That’s good,” Via interjected. “Many martial soul fusion techniques have disappeared because their partners have left.”

"For example, the masters in the Golden Triangle are a real counterexample."

Oscar's face twitched. "Via, why are you bringing up idiots?"

Via yawned, "Just kidding, it's just something to talk about after dinner anyway."

"I heard that they've started selling deep-fried Yu Xiaogang in the south, but I've never tried it before!"

"Then I'll bring it to you when I get back."

"Tch!" Via was speechless. "Stubborn! Fried food is all about being crispy right out of the fryer!"

"Then... I'll learn the skill and fry them for you right now?"

Via turned her head away, not wanting to talk to him.

Shuiyue buried her head tightly in her sister's arms, her shoulders trembling.

Even though Shui Bing'er was usually composed, she almost couldn't hold it in.

“Overall,” Via brought the conversation back on track, “it’s a good thing that you have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique.”

"Even if Xiongxiong gets hungry in the middle of the night, he won't dare to mess with us."

"Hey!" Snowball gestured towards the Ice Bear next to him, "Those are all my fellow villagers, I can trust them!"

Upon hearing this, Shuiyue peeked out from her sister's arms, "But...they're so big!"

"One slap and I'm crushed into a pancake!"

Shui Bing'er gently tapped her sister's forehead, "Don't talk nonsense. As long as we don't cause trouble, they won't attack us."

"I know..." Shui Yue'er muttered as she shrank back, "But soul beasts are really scary..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard discontented voices from behind her.
