Chapter 571: Wars Continuously, Heavenly Soul War
Xu Xingyu was not surprised that Huo Yuhao would launch an attack on the Star Luo Empire at this time.
He had said before that he did not think the Holy Spirit Empire's attack on the Heavenly Soul Empire was serious, but was an offensive to attract attention.
Although it was a bit surprising that Huo Yuhao went out in person, it was also reasonable. After all, at the border of Mingdu Mountains existed the person Huo Yuhao hated the most in his life, White Tiger Duke Dai Hao.
But what Xu Xingyu still can’t figure out is why Huo Yuhao became the emperor of the Holy Spirit Empire?
According to intelligence, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhongli Wu, has broken through from level 98 Super Douluo to level 99 Ultimate Douluo. With such strength, he is fully capable of taking on the position of emperor.
If he just wanted to control Huo Yuhao behind the scenes, it would be understandable. But without Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, even if Zhongli Wu broke through to the Limit Douluo, he would not be able to handle the whole thing alone.
The fact that Zhongli Wu did not appear on the battlefield further indicated that he was planning to operate behind the scenes.
However, what is strange is that it seems that except for the extreme combat forces, almost all the high-level combat forces of the Holy Spirit Empire have been dispatched for this expedition.
The nine Titled Douluo elders of the Holy Spirit Church, dozens of Soul Douluo evil soul masters, and countless evil soul masters from Soul Sage to Soul King.
Even if they wanted to transform all the evil souls of the Sun-Moon Empire into evil soul masters, they shouldn't have launched an attack in such a desperate manner, right?
You know, the Holy Spirit Empire has Orange, the Sun and Moon God of War in the original novel, as the commander. With Orange's military talent, it is impossible for him to do such a stupid thing, right?
It can't be that the evil soul soul guide they developed, in addition to making people evil soul masters, also has the function of lowering the level? If this is true, then Orange's military talent is really useless.
Alas, these disharmony made Xu Xingyu feel that the Holy Spirit Empire was still holding back a big move, but he could not ignore the Holy Spirit Empire's attack on the border of Mingdu Mountains.
Not only because of the importance of the border itself and the fact that the Xingluo Empire was his hometown, but also because the spy's description of Huo Yuhao's equipment made Xu Xingyu have a doubt in his heart.
It was precisely because of this suspicion that Xu Xingyu felt it necessary for him to go there in person, otherwise the chances of the border being lost would be very high.
In the end, Xu Xingyu made the decision to take Ma Xiaotao, Gu Qiuxi, and a group of people from Qi Ling Tower and Shrek to the border to support Duke Baihu, the commander-in-chief of the border.
Gu Yuena and Jiang Nannan were left in the Qi Ling Tower as acting commanders. Of course, before leaving, Xu Xingyu left a Star Soul clone in the Qi Ling Tower as a safety precaution.
As for Xu Jiujiu, she was actually already on the other side of the border, because the task of transporting and selling mechas and mass-produced battle armor was given to Xu Jiujiu.
Now all Xu Xingyu can do is to quickly deal with the war on the Xingluo border, and then hope that the backup plan he left behind can resolve any hidden tricks that the Holy Spirit Empire may have.

Tianhun Empire, Tianhai City.
The former Tianhai City was a beautiful coastal city with blue sea, golden beaches and prosperous ports.
In the early morning, the sun rises slowly from the horizon, the sea is sparkling, buildings and busy vendors can be seen everywhere in the city, and the bustling market is filled with people's laughter.
Whenever night falls, the city streets are brightly lit, the night market is bustling, and the air is filled with the aroma of various delicacies.
However, today's Tianhai City no longer has the prosperity and tranquility of the past.
Under the joint invasion of the Holy Spirit Empire's army and the Sea Soul Beast army, the once beautiful city is now in ruins, with broken walls and ruins everywhere.
On the coastline, sea soul beasts such as the evil killer whale and the war blade octopus continued to attack the shore. The powerful soul power shock waves or the ocean under their control destroyed countless buildings.
A strong smell of blood filled the air, and the sea water surrounding the port of Tianhai City had turned blood red, which made people feel terrified.
The army of the Heavenly Soul Empire fought hard, relying on the mechas and mass-produced battle armors provided by the Qiling Tower to prevent the war from becoming one-sided.
Some soldiers drove mechas to attack the enemy at high altitudes, while others drove mechas to engage in close combat with the enemy to cover their teammates.
The soldiers wearing mass-produced battle armors, equipped with various advanced soul guide equipment, released their martial spirits and engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the enemy.
The sounds of metal colliding, beatings and screams were intertwined; every moment on the battlefield was filled with cruelty and blood.
Despite this, their mission was more to cover the evacuation of civilians, because facing the army of sea soul beasts blessed with the power of the sea, head-on resistance was almost impossible.
Therefore, the way of confrontation chosen by the Sky Soul Empire was to deal with the Holy Spirit Empire and the Sea Soul Army, and rescue all the civilians while the two were delayed.
Finally, after ensuring that everyone had evacuated, they simply abandoned these coastal cities and allowed the Holy Spirit Empire to occupy them.
If they were at war with the Sun-Moon Empire, they would not have abandoned these cities so easily. Even if they did, they would not have rescued civilians.
It would be fine if the problem was just the Holy Spirit Army, but as mentioned before, the power that sea soul beasts can exert in the sea exceeds that of ordinary strong people of the same level.
Even their national protector Douluo Du Bu Si has no way to defeat the strongest among the sea soul beast army, the Deep Sea Demon Whale Demon Emperor who has cultivated for nearly a million years. So what can they use to fight?
Their soul guidance technology is not advanced enough. Even with the mechas, mass-produced battle armors, and high-level soul guidance devices provided by the Qi Ling Tower, Tianhun can do nothing but delay.
It would be better to abandon these cities and let the Holy Spirit Empire occupy them.
The top leaders of the Tianhun Empire knew that although there were a large number of these evil soul masters, it would take time to digest them if they occupied so many cities at once.
After occupying these cities, the army of the Holy Spirit Empire will have to disperse its combat power to various cities, so that there will still be a chance to recapture them in the future.
The reason why they are not worried about the Holy Spirit Empire continuing to attack is that although the sea soul beasts are very powerful by the sea, their strength will be reduced by nearly half once they reach land.
Therefore, if they attack other cities of the Heavenly Soul Empire along these cities, then their battle will be more difficult. After all, the sea soul beasts on land can provide little help, and they can only rely more on the power of the Holy Spirit Empire itself.
As for why these nobles, who basically only had a perfunctory attitude towards civilians, would support this action of saving civilians, it was also very simple.
The top leaders of Tianhun were afraid that the Holy Spirit Empire would also deploy weapons here, so they deployed most of the evil soul-transformed biological weapons in the entire Mingdu in their own city.
Only then did they choose to evacuate the people in the city, and the troops would be stationed at the borders of the occupied cities as a single line of defense to prevent the Holy Spirit Empire from infiltrating the Heavenly Soul Empire and creating another biochemical crisis.
Tianhai City is now one of the last few seaside cities they have left. They can only hope that nothing will go wrong this time.
