Douluo Continent: Starting from Leading Ferocious Beasts to Transform into Demons

Chapter 78 Pre-Battle Deployment

The spirit beasts remained calm and carried out their pre-battle preparations in an orderly manner, while the humans also advanced steadily and cautiously.

Soon the army arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest and set up camp outside. The original market had become deserted for various reasons. The wind blew through the dilapidated wooden plaques, which were teetering on the verge of collapse and were very broken.

Inside the tent, Duke White Tiger, clad in armor, stared intently at the hanging map, a dark mass of powerful figures from all over the land behind him.

Undeniably, although Duke White Tiger was a scumbag, he was the most militarily capable among this group.

Tang San and his companions were chatting leisurely. In their view, these mortals could only be used to stop the beast tide; it was they who would truly make the final decision.

"First, we will lure out the soul beasts, and then use the soul-guided cannons donated by the major empires to bombard the area, exhausting the soul beasts' power as much as possible."

Duke White Tiger pointed to a location on the map, but felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He had been leading his army in a standoff with the Sun Moon Empire for so many years, how could he not envy the Sun Moon Empire's advanced soul tools? However, the technological gap was too great, and it was not something that could be caught up with in one or two generations. In this war, for example, human lives were basically the only way to make up for it.

"The Star Dou Great Forest is too large. It's impossible for us to surround the entire Star Dou Great Forest. That would disperse our forces too much. If the beast tide rushes in one direction, our defenses will collapse and our homes will be destroyed."

Duke White Tiger shook his head. This is why no country dares to provoke the Star Dou Great Forest. As long as they don't act stubbornly, the beast tide alone can cause serious losses by wandering around the territories of the major empires.

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded in agreement, agreeing that it was indeed true.

"Therefore, I will leave the main force here to lure the soul beasts to attack from this direction, while other directions will be defended by a portion of the forces. If, unfortunately, we encounter soul beasts attacking from other directions..."

Dai Hao didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he was trying to say: ultimately, it was because they didn't have enough troops.

"However, not all places need to be defended; the Sun Moon Empire is left to its own devices."

A smile had just appeared on Dai Hao's face when he quickly shut his mouth and his expression froze. The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became heavy.

The Sun Moon Empire has already pledged allegiance to the Soul Beasts, so at least for now they don't have to worry about the Soul Beasts attacking the Sun Moon Empire, while they have to worry about the Sun Moon Empire attacking them. Dai Hao doesn't believe that the Sun Moon Empire can pledge allegiance to the Soul Beasts without any cost.

"That damned traitor."

Xuanzi cursed angrily and slammed his fist on the table. The others echoed his sentiments, condemning the Sun Moon Empire's numerous crimes.

"Everyone, we need your help to attract the soul beasts. The bigger the commotion you make, the greater the chance that the soul beasts will attack the main force."

Dai Hao's expression was serious as he scanned the group of top figures from the Douluo Continent before him. Each of them was a Title Douluo, and they had all come in response to the call to action.

"Of course!"

"We will do our best to complete the mission."

······

The crowd was excited, after all, in addition to catching the eyes of the gods, the chances of the soul beasts they fought dropping soul bones were also high. Perhaps after this war, their bodies would be full of soul bones, of course, provided they survived.

After discussing some tactics and arrangements, everyone left, as they needed to rest and prepare for the upcoming battle.

Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a glance, then returned to their tents and began to communicate telepathically.

"Big brother, do we really have to..."

Perhaps worried that Tang San, that bastard, was eavesdropping, Er Ming didn't explain too clearly.

"Do you still want to see Sister Xiaowu and Dong'er?"

Da Ming glanced at Er Ming, his pale blue eyes filled with speechlessness.

"Of course I want to!"

Erming's eyes widened. Wasn't this what he had lived for all these years? He wasn't afraid of death.

"Then kill them, don't hesitate!"

Da Ming's tone was full of disappointment and frustration; he didn't know what to say to his younger brother.

"In their eyes, we have long been traitors."

Da Ming spoke softly, but his voice was full of exhaustion.

"Normally it would be fine, but we're barely able to protect ourselves right now, so how can we care about anything else? You weren't like this when you used to eat so many soul beasts."

He didn't quite understand what was wrong with his younger brother, why he was even more sentimental than him.

"Understood, brother."

Erming muttered, but quickly composed himself, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. He was willing to give anything for Sister Xiaowu!

Meanwhile, Moon stood at the tent entrance, looking at the group of fanatics with worry in his eyes.

This time, Shrek Academy mobilized its entire force. Apart from the group of kids below the Soul King level in the outer academy, all the students in the inner academy, teachers from various academies, and even the elders all came.

But who can guarantee their survival in war?

It was faith that brought them success, and it was faith that brought them failure.

Shrek Academy developed into the number one academy on the continent by using the name of the gods, and used the faith in the gods to unite the spirit of the academy and make all the teachers and students work together. The idea was good, but what they didn't expect was that the gods would actually descend to earth!

The appearance of a living god is amazing; for Moon, a dead god is a good god.

Under these circumstances, Moon didn't know how much strength Shrek Academy would have left after this war, and he was even worried that Shrek Academy would suffer a collapse.

To Mu En's relief, at least Shrek Academy could continue to exist. He didn't know who would win or lose this war, but he didn't care. If the gods won, Shrek Academy could at least exist for several thousand years. If the gods lost, he wouldn't have to worry about Shrek Academy anymore.

Thinking of this, Mu En felt a sense of relief, and a powerful aura burst forth from his body. He suddenly broke through and took another step on the path to godhood.

"However, those guys from the Holy Spirit Cult..."

Moon thought of the stinking rats in the sewers. Who knows how many people will die in this war? Those disgusting creatures certainly won't want to part with this feast.

"Forget it. The gods have descended to earth. The Sea God once disapproved of the Slaughter City that cultivated evil soul masters and destroyed it. Lord Sea God will definitely not let those evil soul masters go. Let's not think about these things too much."

Moon thought of his old friend Long Xiaoyao again, lamenting that he had actually joined the Holy Spirit Cult and died so hastily.

Shaking his head, Moon returned to his tent; he needed to further solidify his cultivation level.

Mu En's beloved Long Xiaoyao was naturally no longer alive, but Ye Xishui, whom Long Xiaoyao was thinking of before his death, led the remaining followers of the Holy Spirit Cult to the other side of the Star Dou Great Forest, facing the Douluo Alliance from afar.

"Mother, are we really going to get involved this time?"

Zhongli Wu frowned as he looked at the woman on the chair, surrounded by an endless aura of death.
