I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

The Mingdou Mountains, the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Holy Spirit Empire

Amidst the flames of war and the smoke of battle, the Mingdou Mountains, originally formed by the collision of the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, have been completely occupied by the Holy Spirit Empire.

The armies of the three original kingdoms on this border fought back fiercely, but faced with the high-tech soul guides inherited from the Sun and Moon by the Holy Spirit Empire, as well as the strange methods of evil soul masters, the armies of the three original kingdoms were defeated one after another.

Even a portion of the Star Luo Empire's territory was taken away in the process.

At this time, the military camps on the Xingluo border of the Mingdou Mountains were also in a state of chaos.

The tattered tents swayed in the wind, the groans of wounded soldiers were incessant, and many soldiers struggled through the mud, their faces full of exhaustion and pain.

Although there are still many heavily armed guards and people in mechs constantly on guard, it is clear that they have suffered heavy losses.

When Xu Xingyu, Ma Xiaotao, Jiang Nannan, and other members of the Qiling Tower arrived at the camp, they thought they had come to an army medical camp when they saw this scene.

Xu Jiujiu was in charge of welcoming them. Before the Holy Spirit Empire's sudden attack, she had been the representative of the Spirit Tower and the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, responsible for negotiating the acquisition and transportation of mechs and mass-produced battle armor.

On the one hand, considering that the military camp in the Mingdou Mountains is Xingluo territory, and the commander-in-chief of the Xingluo army who has been fighting on the border for many years is Duke Baihu, and considering that Xu Jiujiu was once a Xingluo princess, there should not be too much of a problem in communicating with her.

After all these years, Xu Xingyu can be sure that his wife will no longer show excessive favoritism towards the country. She belongs to him, Xu Xingyu, body and soul, and her thoughts naturally prioritize the interests of the Qiling Tower.

On the other hand, there is Xu Jiujiu, who is the person most familiar with the battle situation in the Mingdou Mountains in the Qiling Tower.

The Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire are separated only by the Mingdou Mountain Range, which has always been a source of worry for the Star Luo Empire. It is normal for a former princess of the empire to know this information.

Xu Xingyu and the others learned the whole story from Xu Jiujiu.

We've talked about the Holy Spirit Empire's attack on the Star Luo border before. In that war, the Holy Spirit Empire led tens of thousands of evil soul masters to attack their allied forces.

Under normal circumstances, with the mechs and the high-tech soul tools provided by the Spirit Tower, the Allied Forces would not have ended up in such a miserable state.

However, the Holy Spirit Empire invested too much in this battle, with the entire army wearing the soul-guided weapons they obtained after conquering the Sun Moon Empire.

Admittedly, the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided technology may not be as advanced as the Spirit Tower's, which is backed by mechs and battle armor. However, in terms of large-scale mass production, the Sun Moon Empire is temporarily ahead of the Spirit Tower, after all, they have thousands of years of accumulated knowledge and resources.

This allows the evil soul masters on the battlefield to fire countless fixed-position soul missiles as if they were free. If it were only low-level ones, it would be fine, but the problem is that they fire high-level ones as if they were free.

They used at least a hundred seventh and eighth-tier cannons, and even fired three level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons! To be honest, the fact that they didn't annihilate the entire army and only lost 40% is already a very good result!

But the most terrifying one is the Holy Spirit Emperor Huo Yuhao, the current commander of the Holy Spirit Empire.

For some reason, in just two short years, Huo Yuhao advanced from Soul Saint to Title Douluo, and even reached level 95 of Super Douluo cultivation.

If that were all, it would be fine, but Huo Yuhao's combat power far exceeds that of a normal Super Douluo. On the battlefield, he is like a killing demon, wielding a black scythe to kill any enemy that appears before him.

Of the 40% of casualties suffered by the allied forces, at least half were killed by Huo Yuhao.

That wasn't all. After several attacks, this guy infiltrated their military camp and kidnapped the commander of the border coalition, Duke White Tiger, as well as his sons Dai Yueheng, Dai Huabin, and even Dai Luoli.

In other words, Xu Jiujiu hurriedly took over the position of Duke Baihu, otherwise the allied forces, having lost their commander-in-chief, might have suffered even greater losses.

Xu Xingyu could only sigh helplessly. Huo Yuhao's hatred for the White Tiger Clan would inevitably lead him to take action against them sooner or later.

There's no way around it; the White Tiger Clan brought this upon themselves. Unless you're a saintly hypocrite or the original Huo Yuhao who was trained like a dog, no one would go without seeking revenge after experiencing something like that.

However, what puzzled Xu Xingyu was that Huo Yuhao did not choose to let Dai Luoli go. In the original novel, Dai Luoli was the only person in the entire White Tiger Clan who was not hated by Huo Yuhao.

This is because his mother had helped Huo Yuhao and his mother, which is why he was not seen as a target of hatred.

So Huo Yuhao isn't even sparing Dai Luoli here? It seems that Huo Yuhao's resentment after being amplified by Rakshasa has made him unable to calmly view hatred.

It's not surprising that Bibi Dong was like this back then, and Huo Yuhao is the same way.

The only thing that Xu Xingyu regrets is that she lacks a talent capable of commanding a large army.

While it's true that Duke Baihu wasn't a great father, and perhaps not a very good person either, it's undeniable that his military command ability is top-notch compared to other talents in Douluo Continent.

So, to express her respect, Xu Xingyu paused for a second to mourn for Duke Baihu before continuing to inquire about the battle situation.

Xu Xingyu frowned immediately upon hearing Xu Jiujiu's next description.

According to her, after taking the White Tiger Duke's family away, Huo Yuhao did not continue to attack the Allied Forces of the Yao, but instead stayed in the Mingdou Mountains without moving.

At first, many soldiers believed that this was because the Holy Spirit Empire had consumed too many advanced soul tools and evil soul master soldiers in the previous war, which had left them in a state of shortage of supplies and they needed to wait for supplies to be replenished in the Mingdou Mountains.

If it were the original story, Xu Jiujiu might have thought the same way, but after following Xu Xingyu for so many years, her strategic thinking has improved a lot. At least she wouldn't make the same mistake as in the original story, where she was used to discover the enemy's empty city ploy and went straight up to attack, only to be caught off guard by the soul guidance devices deployed by the enemy.

In the end, they had no choice but to hand over the military power that the Star Luo royal family had so painstakingly grasped back to Duke White Tiger.

After careful consideration, Xu Jiujiu did not immediately agree to the ideas of the soldiers and strategists. Instead, he first dispatched a small team to carry the most advanced high-altitude detectors of the Qiling Tower to scout the enemy's military camp.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

For some reason, the Holy Spirit Empire was entirely huddled in a fortress in the Mingdou Mountains. Countless soldiers patrolled outside, wielding high-level soul tools, but the most terrifying thing was the tall tower that occupied the fortress.

Without a doubt, that was Ye Xishui's level 10 soul tool, also known as the Death God's Soul Tool, the Death God Tower.

It seems that the Holy Spirit Empire has retrieved the fragments of the Death God Tower that Xu Xingyu destroyed and then rebuilt it.

This is not surprising. According to intelligence, the Holy Spirit Empire seems to have forcibly converted Kong Deming, a former worshipper of the Sun and Moon Empire, into an evil soul master.

The Death God Tower was originally completed by Ye Xishui with the help of Kong Deming. It can be said that Kong Deming understands the Death God Tower even better than Ye Xishui, after all, he is the true tenth-level soul master in this Douluo Continent.

Knowing that the Holy Spirit Empire had the Death Tower in its ranks, Xu Jiujiu could only order his soldiers to stay put and wait for Xu Xingyu's reinforcements to arrive.
