Chapter 579: Star Crisis, White Tiger Destroyed
The border between Xingluo Empire and Holy Spirit Empire, Mingdou Mountains
The war was raging and the air was filled with smoke. The Mingdou Mountains, which were originally formed by the collision between the Sun and Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, had been completely occupied by the Holy Spirit Empire.
The army of the original three kingdoms stationed on this border line fought hard, but faced with the high-tech soul guides inherited by the Holy Spirit Empire from the Sun and Moon, as well as the strange methods of the evil soul masters, the army of the original three kingdoms was beaten back step by step.
Even part of the Star Luo Empire's territory was taken away in the process.
At this time, the military camp at the Xingluo border of the Mingdou Mountains was also in a mess.
The broken tents swayed in the wind, the groans of the wounded soldiers were heard everywhere, and many soldiers walked with difficulty in the mud, their faces full of fatigue and pain.
Although there are still a lot of heavily guarded troops and people driving mechas who are always alert to everything around them, it can be seen that they have suffered heavy losses.
When Xu Xingyu, Ma Xiaotao, Jiang Nannan and other members of the Qi Ling Tower who had just arrived here arrived at the camp, they saw this scene and thought they had come to the army's medical camp.
The person in charge of welcoming them was Xu Jiujiu. Before the sudden attack by the Holy Spirit Empire, she was the representative of the Qi Ling Tower and the three original Douluo Kingdoms, responsible for negotiating the acquisition and transportation of mechas and mass-produced battle armors.
On the one hand, considering that the military camp in Mingdou Mountains is the Xingluo territory, and the commander-in-chief of the Xingluo army who has been fighting on the border for many years is the Duke of White Tiger, so considering Xu Jiujiu's former identity as the Princess of Xingluo, there will not be too many problems in communication.
After so many years, Xu Xingyu can guarantee that his wife will not be too biased towards the country. Her body and mind belong to him, Xu Xingyu, and her thinking center is naturally based on the interests of Qi Ling Pagoda.
On the other hand, the person in Qi Ling Tower who is most familiar with the battle situation in Mingdou Mountains is Xu Jiujiu.
The Sun Moon Empire and Xing Luo were separated only by the Mingdou Mountains, which had always been the source of worry for the Xing Luo Empire. As a former princess of the empire, it was normal for her to know this information.
Xu Xingyu and others learned the whole story from Xu Jiujiu.
I have mentioned before that the Holy Spirit Empire came to attack the Xingluo border. In that war, the Holy Spirit Empire led tens of thousands of evil soul masters to attack their coalition forces.
Under normal circumstances, with the mechas and high-tech soul guides provided by the Qi Ling Tower, the coalition forces would not have ended up in such a miserable state.
However, the Holy Spirit Empire had spent too much money in this battle, and all the soldiers in the army were wearing soul-guided weapons that they had obtained after occupying the Sun-Moon Empire.
It is true that the soul guidance technology of the Sun-Moon Empire may not be as good as that of the Soul Qie Tower, which has mechas and battle armor as its backing, but in terms of large-scale mass production, the Sun-Moon is still temporarily ahead of the Soul Qie Tower. After all, they have thousands of years of low-level accumulation and storage.
This causes the evil soul masters on the battlefield to launch countless fixed-type soul missiles as if they were free. If they were only low-level ones, it would be fine, but the problem is that they also launch high-level ones for free.
At least hundreds of level 7 and 8 soul guide shells were used, and three level 9 soul guide shells were fired! To be honest, they did not lose all but 40% of their troops, which was already a very good record!
But the most terrifying one is the commander-in-chief of the Holy Spirit Empire this time, Holy Spirit Emperor Huo Yuhao.
No one knew what happened, but in just two years, Huo Yuhao was promoted from Soul Sage to Titled Douluo, and he was at the 95th level of Super Douluo.
If it were just that, 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 devil, holding a black sickle to kill any enemy that appears in front of him.
Of the 40% of the coalition’s casualties, at least half died at the hands of Huo Yuhao.
What’s not over yet is that after several attacks, this guy sneaked into their military camp and kidnapped the commander of the border coalition, Duke Baihu, and his sons Dai Yaoheng, Dai Huabin, and even Dai Luoli.
In other words, Xu Jiujiu hurriedly replaced Duke Baihu's position, otherwise the coalition forces without their commander-in-chief might suffer even greater losses.
Xu Xingyu could only sigh helplessly at this. Huo Yuhao's hatred for the White Tiger Clan would inevitably lead him to attack the White Tiger Clan sooner or later.
There is no way to deal with this. The White Tiger clan did this themselves. Unless one is a virgin bitch or Huo Yuhao who was trained like a dog in the original novel, no one would not seek revenge after encountering such a thing.
However, what made Xu Xingyu a little strange was that Huo Yuhao did not choose to let Dai Luoli go. You know, in the original novel, Dai Luoli was the only person in the entire White Tiger Family who was not hated by Huo Yuhao.
This was because his mother had once helped Huo Yuhao and his mother, and that was why she was not seen as a target of hatred.
So Huo Yuhao didn’t even let Dai Luoli go? It seemed that Huo Yuhao’s hatred after being amplified by Luosha had made it impossible for him to look at hatred calmly.
This was also the case with Bibi Dong back then, and it is also the case with Huo Yuhao, so there is nothing surprising about it.
The only thing that made Xu Xingyu feel a little regretful was that there was one less person who could command the army.
It is true that Duke Baihu is not a very good father, and may not even be a good person, but it is undeniable that compared with other talented people in Douluo Continent, his military command ability can be regarded as top-notch.
So in order to express his respect, Xu Xingyu observed a second of silence for Duke White Tiger, and then continued to inquire about the battle situation.
Xu Jiujiu's subsequent description immediately made Xu Xingyu frown.
According to her, after taking away the White Tiger Duke and his family, Huo Yuhao did not continue to attack his coalition forces, but instead stayed in the Mingdou Mountains without moving.
At first, many soldiers thought that this was because the Holy Spirit Empire had consumed too many high-level soul guides and evil soul master soldiers in the previous war, causing them to be in a state of shortage of supplies and need to wait for replenishment in the Mingdou Mountains.
If it was Xu Jiujiu from the original novel, she might have thought so too, but after following Xu Xingyu for so many years, her strategic thinking has improved a lot. At least she wouldn't do the original novel's plan of being taken advantage of by the enemy's empty city plan and attacking directly, only to be caught off guard by the soul guide device deployed by the enemy.
In the end, they had no choice but to hand over the military power that the Xingluo royal family had worked so hard to gain control of to Duke Baihu.
Xu Jiujiu, who was very thoughtful, did not immediately agree to the ideas of those generals and advisers. Instead, he sent a small team to carry the most advanced high-altitude detector of Qi Ling Tower to scout the local military camps.
I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.
For some reason, the Holy Spirit Empire has huddled in a fortress in the Mingdou Mountains. Countless soldiers are patrolling outside with high-level soul guides in their hands, but the most terrifying thing is the tall tower entrenched in the fortress.
There is no doubt that it was Ye Xishui's tenth-level soul guide device during his lifetime, also known as the Death Soul Guide Device, the Death Tower.
It seems that the Holy Spirit Empire should have recovered the fragments of the Death Tower that were destroyed by Xu Xingyu and rebuilt it.
This is not surprising. According to intelligence, the Holy Spirit Empire seems to have forcibly converted Kong Deming, a former priest of the Sun and Moon Empire, into an evil soul master.
The Tower of Death was originally completed by Ye Xishui with the help of Kong Deming. It can be said that Kong Deming knows the Tower of Death even better than Ye Xishui. After all, he is the true tenth-level soul engineer in this Douluo Continent.
After knowing that the Holy Spirit Empire had the Tower of Death, Xu Jiujiu could only let the soldiers stay where they were and wait for Xu Xingyu's reinforcements to arrive.
