Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 403 The Peerless is Approaching

In the past, it would have taken at least two months for an army of more than 10,000 to travel from Wuhun City to the Soul Sea City Gate of the Heaven Dou Empire. But now, with the large soul-guided vehicles, they arrived at their destination in just half a month.

Marshal Ge Long of the Heavenly Dou Army was already waiting there, arranging for the Soul Martial Legion to set up camp outside the city.

Three days later, the armies of the New Heaven Dou Federation and the Star Luo Empire arrived in succession.

As the host, Marshal Golong invited the commanders-in-chief, deputy commanders, and personnel of the three armies to the city lord's mansion in Soul Sea City to discuss how to deal with the situation.

"How many troops have you each brought? Are your supplies sufficient?"

As the saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach."

This time, the forces on the mainland have come together to jointly fight against the foreign enemy, and each has its own reasons.

The Spirit Hall sought revenge for the local Spirit Hall branch and related personnel.

The Star Luo Empire sought to eradicate the traitors—the Star Crown Sect—who had brought shame upon the empire.

The Heavenly Dou Empire aims to reclaim the cities that have been captured by invaders.

The New Heavenly Dou Federation could remain neutral, but if it did not take action, it would likely gradually lose the support of its people—foreign enemies were invading the mainland, and if they did nothing, the people within its borders would be filled with anxiety.

Moreover, the Avalanche Emperor was born into the Heavenly Dou Dynasty and is the younger brother of the Qinghe Emperor. Both morally and logically, he should help him, otherwise he would be criticized and lose the support of the people.

Furthermore, to demonstrate the New Heavenly Dou Federation's determination to resist foreign enemies, Avalanche personally served as the commander-in-chief of the expedition and accompanied the army.

"Marshal Golong, do not worry. Our New Heavenly Dou Federation has ample food supplies, which can be transported by soul-guided vehicles. Even if we fight a protracted war, we can hold out for three years." Xue Beng spoke with certainty, and his confident demeanor impressed everyone present.

However, Tang San knew that the New Heaven Dou Federation's so-called abundant food supplies were merely obtained by increasing the grain tax on its people, and this could not last long.

After all, the New Heaven Dou Federation was only recently established, and Xue Beng was elected to the position. It's hard to say how much real power he actually holds.

Although the combined strength of the numerous small nations is considerable, comparable to the current Tian Dou, the rulers of these nations each have their own agendas and are unlikely to wholeheartedly support Xue Beng.

Zhu Zhuqing, the representative of Xingluo, said, "Our army also has sufficient food supplies."

Tang San said, "The Spirit Hall has no shortage of supplies, and can also provide support to you all in this battle."

Marshal Goron had some reservations about this "uneducated" Avalanche, but to avoid conflict, he said nothing, only nodding slightly to everyone and asking, "What is the strength of the troops you have brought?"

Xue Beng said, "We have 20,000 troops, all of whom are veterans of countless battles."

Zhu Zhuqing said, "Eight thousand, but they are all Soul Masters, and their strength is all above that of Great Soul Masters."

Tang San said calmly, "More than ten thousand. Excluding the two Title Douluo, fifty Soul Douluo, and one hundred Soul Saints, the remaining ten thousand are all Soul Masters."

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

Golong was surprised to find that the Spirit Hall had so many Soul Masters, including fifty Soul Douluos and two Title Douluos.

wrong!

Although the titled Douluo only brought two people with him, there were more than two people with the strength of a titled Douluo. Tang San and the people around him, even if they were not as strong as him, were not much weaker and must also have the strength of a titled Douluo.

This relieved Ge Long, since the most difficult thing for those Sun Moon Enemies to deal with, besides the soul tools, was the ten Title Douluo-level powerhouses.

"Now, let me tell you about the situation in Xiaohai City."

The city occupied by the Sun and Moon Empire is called Xiaohai City.

"According to reports from scouts, the Sun and Moon bandits have piled up the corpses in Xiaohai City into a small mountain, which they call a Jingguan (a mound of corpses), to show off their war achievements."

At this point, Golong was filled with resentment. "These barbarians, not content with slaughtering the city, they even piled up the corpses to build a mound of corpses. Their cruelty is comparable to that of the degenerates!"

When the Fallen kill, they at most just dump the bodies and make a mess. But the actions of the Sun and Moon Empire not only trample on life, but also on the dignity of life!

Inhuman!

After calming down, Goron took a deep breath and continued, "We investigated their forces; they number nearly 30,000. They wear close-fitting cloth armor, which offers considerable protection. Moreover, each soldier carries a soul-guided device similar to a crossbow, with an extremely high rate of fire, and the bullets and arrows can explode."

"In addition, there is an oval-shaped soul-guided bomb about the size of a goose egg, which is dark green or black. When thrown, it can produce a violent explosion with a diameter of more than six meters. More importantly, its fragments can cause damage with a diameter of more than twelve meters. Once they pierce the human body, the casualty will fall to the ground and not get up, and the serious ones will die instantly."

"This is their army's main method of attack."

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent, after all, the attack method of this soul-guided bomb was similar to the soul-guided bomb research of the Star Luo Empire.

"Besides that, we discovered that there are ships approaching from the other side of the sea." Ning Fengzhi, standing next to Ge Long, said with a solemn expression, "Their numbers are still increasing. Moreover, Bai He has gone overseas to investigate at an extremely fast speed. A giant ship with a length of over 500 meters is approaching Xiaohai City. On its hull are palaces and pavilions, so obviously a very important person is coming."

"Moreover, Baihe also sensed a soul power fluctuation that was almost solidified, and even the air was about to freeze. If he hadn't noticed something was wrong and rushed back immediately, he probably would have already..."

Ning Fengzhi didn't say what he was going to say next, but everyone's hearts sank.

The fluctuation of soul power nearly froze the air.

That must be an unparalleled genius!

"We can't defeat someone like that," Ning Fengzhi sighed, then looked at Tang San, "Could His Highness the Holy Son contend with him?"

"If he were merely a peerless Douluo, he wouldn't last more than thirty moves against me." At this moment, Tang San, relying on his powerful spiritual strength, had already sensed the spiritual strength of the peerless Douluo Douluo who was heading towards Xiaohai City. Even compared to Bibi Dong, who hadn't properly regulated her essence, energy, and spirit, it was far inferior.

Moreover, he had many hidden injuries in his body, probably because he used some secret technique or ate some rare and precious herbs to force his breakthrough.

It must have been a breakthrough in the last year or two, before my body was even properly adjusted.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"nature."

In terms of raw power, I can sense the other party's specific situation from such a distance, while that peerless one knows nothing about me, making the difference in strength immediately apparent.

"Once that person arrives, I can handle him. What we need to consider now is how to retake Xiaohai City."

After a pause, Tang San looked at Marshal Ge Long and asked, "What is Marshal Ge Long's plan? I am not good at troop deployment."

Seeing that Tang San was giving him face, Ge Long nodded slightly and said, "The enemy has soul-guided weapons, so our previous methods of combat are obviously not going to work unless our army can suddenly get close to them. After all, once we get close, we can't use long-range soul-guided weapons on a large scale, because that would hurt our own people."

"But--"

The current problem is just one: how to get our own army into close combat with them?
