“Your Majesty, please forgive my bluntness, but there is absolutely no need to rebuild the Ming capital's intelligence system,” Cheng Gang said solemnly.
"Oh? Why? I'd like to hear your thoughts." Xu Jiawei asked with some confusion.
Cheng Gang took a deep breath and explained in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the complete annihilation of Mingdu Xingluo's spies is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Sun and Moon intelligence system built by the Empire. It will affect Xingluo's intelligence gathering capabilities and efficiency, a point I believe you also agree with."
Xu Jiawei nodded: "I do agree with that."
Cheng Gang continued, "Your Majesty, the problem is that our spies simply cannot penetrate the true core of the Sun and Moon. Although the intelligence they obtain is valuable, it is not much."
"For example, the Sun Moon Empire's brazen launch of a war must have involved a series of discussions before the war began. After all, war is not child's play. Once the war starts, it means that a lot of money, resources, and soul tools will be consumed."
"If our spies had known about the Sun Moon Empire's war in advance, the Star Luo Empire could have made preparations, and perhaps the Sun Moon army's surprise attack would have failed."
"However, our spies simply do not have the ability to obtain this kind of decisive intelligence; they can only obtain some insignificant information. There is no need to rebuild such an intelligence system!"
Moreover, to put it bluntly, even if you choose to rebuild the Star Luo Empire's intelligence system in Mingdu, it will probably be affected by Xuanzi, this jinx, and then be destroyed again. In that case, it would be a loss that outweighs the gain.
We are currently allies with the Douling Empire and Shrek Academy. Once they have rebuilt their intelligence network in Mingdu, the Star Luo Empire can fully share their intelligence.
Xu Jiawei fell into thought, then nodded and said, "Cheng Gang, what you said makes sense. Alright, then the Star Luo Empire will not rebuild the Mingdu intelligence system."
Go now and arrange compensation for the families of those Star Luo spies who died heroically. After all, those spies contributed to the Empire, and the Empire should take good care of their families.
If those who sacrifice themselves for the Star Luo Empire do not receive care from the Empire, then fewer and fewer people will be willing to serve the Empire.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cheng Gang nodded and agreed. Just as he was about to leave, an old male voice suddenly rang out in the hall: "Your Majesty, I will handle the arrangements for the compensation. Cheng Gang should do something more important."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man in white robes appeared in the Star Luo Palace. Cheng Gang stopped in his tracks and looked at Zhao Zhehan, the head of the Star Luo Royal Offering Hall, with a face full of doubt.
"Why do you say that, Mr. Zhao?" Xu Jiawei asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Your Majesty, news has come from the Star Luo Ocean Fleet that they have discovered a new continent overseas!" Zhao Zhehan said with a smile, his voice trembling, clearly extremely excited.
"What!" Xu Jiawei's eyes widened. "The Xingluo Ocean Fleet has discovered a new continent overseas? This... this is absolutely fantastic news!"
The surprise came so suddenly that Xu Jiawei was completely overwhelmed with excitement.
Chapter 708 The Mighty Douluo's Voyages to the West
He was breathing rapidly, and his face showed joy.
Although Xuanzi has attracted the attention of many powerful figures in the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Jiawei estimates that it won't last long. He expects that he will hear news of Xuanzi's death soon.
Even if Xuanzi has the help of some mysterious powerful figure, so what?
According to the intelligence from Shrek Academy, the Holy Spirit Cult has two Limit Douluos. No matter how strong that mysterious expert is, he is only at the Limit Douluo level. Could he possibly fight two at once?
Even the seemingly impregnable Star Rochino defenses cannot provide Xu Jiawei with a complete sense of security.
After all, the Star Rochino defense line can indeed slow down the progress of the war, but it cannot completely keep the Sun and Moon army out of the defense line.
Given the Sun Moon Empire's wolfish ambitions, it is absolutely impossible for them to abandon their plan to continue annexing the Star Luo Empire simply because attacking the Star Luo Chino defense line is difficult.
The initial purpose of sending an ocean-going fleet was to provide the Star Luo Empire with a backup plan. Even if the Star Luo Empire was defeated by the Sun Moon Empire, it could rebuild its empire on the new continent overseas, accumulate strength, and perhaps even make a comeback.
"Old Zhao, I'd like to know about the situation in the new continent overseas," Xu Jiawei asked.
Cheng Gang stared intently at Zhao Zhehan, looking like he was all ears.
Zhao Zhehan said with a smile, "According to the message sent by Zhu Qifeng, the head of the Zhu family, his fleet has been sailing westward. After landing on the new continent overseas, they began to explore and encountered a group of local natives. These natives are all Soul Masters, but their strength is not strong."
Fortunately, they could communicate in the same language, so Zhu Qifeng was able to exchange information with them. He also sent people to investigate and gather information. According to Zhu Qifeng's research, there was no unified empire on the New World, only several kingdoms. As for the strongest being on the New World, it was said to be a level 95 Super Douluo.
It is not unusual for people from different continents to share the same language.
According to historical records, more than four thousand years ago, when the Sun Moon Continent collided with the Douluo Continent and started a war, the language and writing of the Sun Moon people were essentially no different from those of the Douluo people.
This is something that many scholars find extremely unusual.
Some scholars have conducted research and speculated that the Sun Moon Continent, the original Douluo Continent, and other possible new overseas continents were actually part of a giant continent many years ago.
A magnificent human civilization developed on this giant continent, unifying language and writing, and even possessing advanced soul-guided technology.
This civilization later perished for some reason.
This giant continent gradually split into Douluo Continent, Sun and Moon Continent, and other possible new overseas continents.
The Sun and Moon Continent was fortunate enough to preserve the seeds of Soul Guidance Technology, which continued to develop and rise to prominence.
The Douluo Continent was rather unlucky; its soul guidance technology level plummeted, and it even relied mainly on excavating ancient artifacts to obtain soul guidance devices.
As for the history of that glorious civilization, it may have disappeared under the weight of its destruction and the erosion of time.
"Do the natives of the new continent overseas possess extremely advanced soul guidance technology?" Xu Jiawei was somewhat worried. More than four thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Continent crossed the ocean and collided with the Douluo Continent, bringing many powerful soul guidance devices, which dealt a heavy blow to the Douluo people at that time.
“No.” Zhao Zhehan shook his head. “According to Zhu Qifeng’s research, the level of soul tools in the New World should be similar to that of Shrek Academy in its early days, as recorded in historical books.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief.
If the soul-guided technology of the new continent overseas is extremely powerful, then it will be very troublesome.
Fortunately, such a terrible situation did not occur, which means that even the Star Luo Empire can still maintain an advantage over the natives of the New World in terms of soul guidance technology.
"Mr. Zhao, you just said that you have something more important to entrust to Cheng Gang. Do you mean that you want Cheng Gang to also participate in the ocean-going fleet?" Xu Jiawei asked.
“Hmm.” Zhao Zhehan nodded. “Your Majesty, I must protect your personal safety in the Empire and cannot leave without permission. However, Cheng Gang can participate in a new batch of ocean-going fleets, guided by people sent back by Zhu Qifeng, to go to the new continent overseas.”
During this period, the new fleet of ocean-going ships was not only tasked with opening up safe shipping routes, but also with establishing footholds for the Star Luo Empire on new continents overseas.
If the Star Luo Empire is defeated in the future, this is a way out. If we can't defeat the Sun Moon Empire, can't we defeat the natives of these new continents overseas?
Even with the news of the Star Luo Qino defense line and Xuan Zi's great victory, Zhao Zhehan remains pessimistic about the future of the Star Luo Empire, feeling that it is extremely important to have a backup plan.
Xu Jiawei nodded and agreed, saying, "Old Zhao is right. Cheng Gang, you will lead the new batch of ocean-going fleet to the new overseas continent. Since Zhu Qifeng and his men discovered the new overseas continent by sailing westward, let's name this operation 'The Mighty Douluo's Voyage to the West'!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Mighty Douluo Cheng Gang immediately cupped his hands, bowed slightly, and answered in a deep voice.
“By the way, Your Majesty, I think that the new batch of ocean-going fleets led by Cheng Gang should not include members of the Dai family. Instead, more members of the Xu family should be included. After all, Zhu Qifeng, the head of the Zhu family, is currently in the New World overseas. If he joins forces with the Dai family, who have been on good terms for generations, they might rebel and create a new Xingluo Empire!” Zhao Zhehan reminded him from the side.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiawei nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhao, I'll listen to you. Cheng Gang, I'll do as you say."
The Xu family has been the royal family for over four thousand years, so naturally they have a considerable number of members of the imperial clan, and the number of Xu family members has naturally increased. Of course, not everyone possesses the Star Crown Martial Soul, a inherited martial soul.
Just as not everyone in the Sun and Moon Royal Family possesses the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul and the Sun Martial Soul.
Cheng Gang readily agreed.
.......
Sun and Moon Empire, in the Undead Demiplane.
The sky was overcast, as if shrouded in gloom.
Suddenly, a fiery red bone dragon flapped its bone wings vigorously and flew freely. As it flapped its bone wings, clusters of flames of varying sizes appeared nearby, radiating intense heat.
Atop the dragon's head, Huo Yuhao stood with his hands behind his back, his face glowing red from the surrounding firelight.
Zhongliwu spent ten years capturing this skeletal dragon.
But Huo Yuhao only used thirty breaths.
The reason is simple: a bone dragon is still a dragon!
As the sole inheritor of the Water Dragon King, Huo Yuhao found it relatively easy to subdue a bone dragon. Even though the bone dragon had received the Silver Dragon King's favor in its previous life, it still had to submit to Huo Yuhao.
After all, this is just a bone dragon that has received blessings, not the Silver Dragon King in its true form.
This was the seventh day since he had subdued the skeletal dragon.
Although this skeletal dragon received the Silver Dragon King's favor, it was only a favor, not a bloodline. Therefore, this skeletal dragon only mastered the two elements of wind and fire.
Chapter 709 I have rendered meritorious service to the academy, I have shed blood for the academy, I want to see Elder Mu!
As for Huo Yuhao, he was naturally dissatisfied with the current situation where the Bone Dragon only mastered the two elements of wind and fire.
He wanted to imbue the bone dragon with other elements to make it even more powerful, turning it into another formidable undead under his command.
The good thing about the undead is that they are extremely loyal!
Logically speaking, in the Douluo Continent, only those with sufficiently singular and pure elemental attributes can reach their ultimate potential. However, taking the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena as an example, her elemental attributes were not actually singular and pure enough.
But this doesn't mean that Gu Yuena can't reach her full potential.
After all, Gu Yuena is the Silver Dragon King.
In a sense, the other party is considered to have reached the pinnacle in multiple elemental attributes. Of course, even among those who have mastered the pinnacle of the same element, there are still differences in skill level.
Just like the ultimate ice attribute, as long as the minimum temperature when releasing a soul skill reaches minus 150 degrees Celsius, it can be called ultimate ice.
Huo Yuhao's current mastery of extreme ice has far surpassed this minimum standard.
Based on Huo Yuhao's research over the past few days, he discovered that the bone dragon, which bore the blessings of the Silver Dragon King, actually possessed the dual extreme attributes of wind and fire.
However, Zhongliwu was not a good match for this skeletal dragon. It took a full ten years to subdue it, so Zhongliwu was unable to fully unleash its power.
Therefore, in Zhongli Wu's hands, neither the wind nor the fire attributes of this skull dragon could be fully utilized, but in Huo Yuhao's hands, they could.
After all, the remaining spirit within the skull dragon offered him no resistance whatsoever; on the contrary, it was extremely docile and obedient.
Of course, to prevent the bone dragon from being betrayed by the Silver Dragon King, Huo Yuhao chose to implant a wisp of sub-fire into the bone dragon's body to control it.
"Hmm, we need to endow this skeletal dragon with a large number of attributes, allowing it to master a large number of elements... Ice and water attributes are easy to handle; as the successor of the Water Dragon King, I can directly bestow them upon it. As for light and space attributes, we can only ask our teacher for help."
After all, the teacher was not only the Child of Light but also the Holy Law God of the Undead. It shouldn't be a problem for him to be able to transcend space and bestow light and spatial attributes.
"When we meet the Silver Dragon King in the future, if we can persuade him to join us in resisting Tang San and the God Realm, we can discuss with him about having the Silver Dragon King bestow more favors upon this skeletal dragon. With a foundation of multiple attributes, the skeletal dragon's mastery of each attribute can rapidly increase!"
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao began to call out to Ilex and expressed his desire to endow the bone dragon with more attributes, hoping that his teacher would lend a helping hand.
Electrolux immediately agreed. For him, although the skeletal dragon was undead, it was not difficult to endow it with the attribute of light. After all, most of the undead in the undead demiplane had acquired the attribute of light under his transformation as the former Son of Light.
Even the angels cannot purify these kinds of undead.
After a period of time, the skull dragon was endowed with multiple attributes, and its body was surrounded by various colors of light, like a work of art made of various colored glass, which looked extremely beautiful.
"This skull dragon now controls six elements: water, light, ice, fire, wind, and space. It now possesses six ultimate attributes. The so-called ultimate attribute is essentially the ultimate control over a certain element. Of course, there are different levels of ultimate control."
Huo Yuhao stood atop the bone dragon's head, silently sensing the attributes within its body, and felt a surge of emotion.
He endowed the bone with ultimate control over the elements of water and ice, while Elder Yi endowed it with ultimate control over the elements of space and light.
"The Bone Dragon already possesses multiple elements, but I haven't received any news of the Silver Dragon King emerging from seclusion. Who knows when the Silver Dragon King will emerge? Therefore, the idea of seeking a way to improve this Bone Dragon through the Silver Dragon King can only be temporarily shelved."
What I need to do now is naturally to further decline Shrek Academy's reputation, thereby affecting Tang San's prestige. After all, Tang San has always been labeled as one of the original Shrek Seven Devils.
