Douluo: Peerless Light.

However, the Heavenly Soul side has no other way.

You can't really hand over the Heaven Dou City that was so hard to defend, can you?
If you really do it, the soul of the sky will be finished, and the hearts of the people will be scattered in an instant.

At the gate of Shrek City, Qian Zhaoguang and Huo Yutong got up and flew towards the north.

Just last night, he had received a message from the Dragon City branch that the secret mining troops of the Sun Moon Empire were about to complete the preliminary work.

A large number of rare metals that have been mined have been packaged, waiting for the follow-up support troops to transport them back to the mainland of the Sun Moon Empire.

Two soul engineer groups responsible for escorting rare metals back to the country have arrived near Dragon City, and are about to leave for the mining area to receive the minerals.

After stocking for a long time, it's time to receive the results.

The rare metals mined by the Sun Moon Empire and the completed mining facilities are accepted by my humble Qian Zhaoguang.

Shrek City is located to the west of the border of the Three Kingdoms, within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and does not border on the Dou Ling Empire itself.

Dragon City is located in the northeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire, adjacent to the extreme north. It can be reached by walking north from Shrek City and a little further east.

When Qian Chaoguang went to the extreme north to look for the Ice Emperor, he bought some supplies in Dragon City.

The two did not go directly to Dragon City through the teleportation array in Shrek City.

This thing is still a secret to Douluo Dalu for the time being, at least let the rest of the people see that they set off in a normal way.

It wasn't until they flew very far that the two found a hidden place to return to the demiplane and opened the transmission channel to Dragon City.

Dragon City can be regarded as a large city with a name and surname in the Heavenly Soul Empire. It is located in the northeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire. It is the largest city there, and the temperature is relatively low.

Continuing to the north from Dragon City, with Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong's current flying speed, they will be able to enter the outer area of ​​the Extreme North within two hours.

Qian Chaoguang understood why the Sun Moon Empire was so anxious to advance the front line before, even if they paid a higher price, they would temporarily occupy the northern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Now that winter is about to enter, the temperature in the north has dropped sharply, and the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers is gradually decreasing.

After winter, the soul engineer group and the soul master legion can still maintain sufficient combat effectiveness, but the soldiers in the cold weapon era have almost completely lost their combat effectiveness.

The elite troops of the Sun Moon Empire didn't matter, they were supported by individual heat energy soul guides, and they could even fight in iron armor in the cold winter months.

But the army of the Heavenly Soul Empire can't do it.

Fighting in the severe winter, non-combat attrition will be ridiculously high.

The combat effectiveness of the army will also decline significantly.

Therefore, as long as the entire northern border can be occupied before winter, the Sun Moon Empire will be able to allocate a large number of manpower to complete other tasks, greatly reducing the pressure caused by the shortage of personnel.

It is even possible to order the soul engineer group to continue to advance south with an almost defenseless posture.

There is no need for a large number of garrisons, and the two countries of Tianhun and Douling have nothing to do-they will be overwhelmed by the weather.

Plus Juzi's so-called conspiracy.

It only takes one winter for the Sun Moon Empire to initially consolidate its rule.

In this way, mine veins can be excavated, the rule can be consolidated, and the extreme north can be backed to avoid the encirclement and suppression of Shrek, Dou Ling, Xing Luo, and Tianhun, and consumption can be reduced.

It belongs to yes.

The war has progressed to this point, and the reason why the situation on the mainland has eased is not because the Sun Moon Empire lacks stamina.

The simple thing is that it needs time to digest the income, and clean up the mice that have entered the house along the way.

Although the area of ​​Tianhun Empire is not as huge as that of Xingluo, it still has two-thirds of the area of ​​Sun Moon Empire.

To suddenly occupy such a vast land, it is necessary to appease the common people and consolidate the rule.

What they want is unity, not extinction.

Coupled with the previous Tianhun Empire's strict implementation of the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields and scorched earth provided by Qian Chaoguang, the Sun Moon Empire, which has basically offended the local nobles, needs more time and cost to maintain its rule.

In desperation, under the coercion of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Sun Moon Empire was also forced to carry out a mass purge of the local nobles, and started the operation to win over the civilians ahead of schedule.

So far, it looks like little has been done.

The leadership team dispatched in the past has even just figured out the most basic issues such as how many people, how many things, how many livestock, how many shops, how many means of production, etc. are in the city.

Incorporating the Soul Master Sect is progressing fairly smoothly, and the Sun Moon Empire has successfully completed the expansion of several Soul Master Sects.

Many sects are very spineless, similar to the "noble families" and "rich families" on the ancient blue star.

Why is there such a saying as "a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year family"?
Because all the hard bones are dead.

An upright family cannot become a so-called thousand-year-old family.

For the aristocratic family, it has nothing to do with who they change to rule, they only need their own inheritance.

For example, a family surnamed Kong, every time the dynasty changes, it is called a quick vote, and all the literati's character and righteousness are completely lost.

I don't know how they have the face to call themselves saints.

If Kong Sheng knew that his descendants were all such spineless cartilages, he would be so angry that he would unveil the coffin on the spot and show them what is called the six arts of a gentleman.

Obviously, this kind of thing is also the same on Douluo Continent.

After all, those who take the initiative to go out of the city to fight against the enemy like the Iron Blood Sect, Noumenon Sect, and Tianlong Sect are a minority.

Basically, it can be said that the bigger the sect is, the more it will choose to be a dog at this time.

For example, a certain sect named after Haotian is a typical example.

What does it matter to me whether the country is immortal or not?
It's enough for me to be fine.

In their parlance, this might be called playing it safe.

This is the second time for Qian Chaoguang to come to Dragon City.

This largest city located in the northeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire fell before even holding out for half a day. How can this not make people feel embarrassing?

Tianlongmen and Dilongmen.

These two sects were once representatives of Dragon City.

It's just that compared with the powerful army of the Sun and Moon Empire, it's no different from a mantis arm.

Although Dilongmen's response was relatively quick, without the advance transfer of assets in the original book, they were still plundered by the sun and moon army.

Even the disciples with a small number were arrested.

It was the same as those cities that were captured by the Sun Moon Empire before.

The sects in the city had to choose to serve the Sun Moon Empire, or they could only choose to die.

The small group of people arrested in Dilongmen are still in the stage of being locked in prison cells by the Sun Moon Empire and tortured repeatedly.

The Tianlongmen, inherited from the Landian Tyrannosaurus Rex family, will be much tougher.

Just like when facing the Wuhun Temple ten thousand years ago, he would rather die standing than live on his knees.

Therefore, after 1 years, the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus rex family was once again destroyed.

Qian Zhaoguang and Huo Yutong walked out of the teleportation array, and they were greeted by the rotating store manager of the Dragon City branch and a mid-level death knight.

This guy is familiar to Qian Zhaoguang, and it is the freak in the death knight.

Born as a warrior, the one who habitually quarrels with his mount.

"Your Majesty, mistress."

"Boss, boss lady."

One person and one death knight greeted in unison, but the names they called out were completely different.

However, Qian Chaoguang has never cared about this, and his subordinates also call him various names, including everything.

Qian Zhaoguang waved his hand and went straight to the point: "How is the situation in the city now?"

"Basically everything in the city is normal, and there is almost no difference from before the war."

The one who answered him was the shop manager on duty, a middle-aged man who was also a standard Wuhunhundi-level powerhouse.

"Jianda's soul guide field is set up on the city wall, but the number of soul guides is not large. According to the observation of my subordinates, there are no more than fifty soul guides at most. The cultivation level is generally around the third ring, and the rest are only some ordinary soldiers."

50 people, this is one-tenth of a soul engineer army.

According to this defense strength, if the Heavenly Soul Empire can divide its forces to attack, only one or two regular legions are needed to recover the city.

But it is a pity that the Heavenly Soul Empire has already concentrated a large number of troops in Tiandou City and several surrounding cities to confront the Sun and Moon army, and there is no way to spare.

Qian Zhaoguang nodded slightly, and continued to ask: "Is there anything else special? The Sun Moon Empire still maintains its previous style?"

What he was referring to was, of course, what happened to those cities that previously implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness.

At that time, every time the Sun Moon Empire's army arrived in a city, they would confiscate all the nobles' homes, and use food and other resources to supplement the army's needs.

The sect was forcibly broken through, and all members of the sect either chose to be loyal to the Sun Moon Empire or choose to die.

Except for those "smart people" who resolutely surrendered their family property, this was the case for the basic nobles and sects.

And those city lords and officials are the toughest bones to crack.

They either disappeared or fought until the last moment to die, which caused great difficulties for the subsequent succession of the Sun Moon Empire.

The death knight and the middle-aged Soul Emperor looked at each other, apparently hesitant to speak.

"Is there really a situation?"

Qian Zhaoguang was taken aback.

He just mentioned it casually.

It was because the old housekeeper had obtained those two Shrek admission recommendation letters from the old city lord of Longcheng back then, and had a slight liking for this city, so he asked a little bit.

However, as far as Qian Chaoguang knew, the old city lord had passed away due to illness nearly ten years ago.

When the Continental War broke out, if nothing else happened, the current city lord should be the son of the old city lord.

"Speak up if you have something to say, it doesn't matter even if you are uncertain, I will judge by myself." Qian Chaoguang urged.

The middle-aged Soul Emperor hesitated for a moment, and said: "This subordinate feels that something is wrong with this Dragon City defense battle, the eruption time is too short, and that city lord did not follow the practices of other city lords in the Sky Soul Empire. Do."

"Too short?" Qian Chaoguang frowned, "Tell me about the general process of the battle, what you saw and heard during your investigation, and what happened during this period."

"Yes."

The middle-aged man nodded, and said, "It's like this. At that time, the army of the Sun and Moon Empire was pressing down on the border, and the city lord ordered the soldiers to go out of the city to meet them, instead of using soul guides to shoot at a long distance. They didn't do it until the battle was over. The soul guides from the Sun and Moon side Less than half an hour after the weapon roared, the city lord announced his surrender."

"The army only stayed in the city for two days, ransacked some of the nobles' homes, captured all the members of the sect, and then withdrew them all, leaving only a very small number of people to maintain order."

"You didn't see it because you came from the teleportation array. If you go out, you can see that there are no signs of destruction inside or outside Dragon City, not even the city walls."

"As of today, the Sun-Moon Empire has occupied Dragon City for 30 days. The Sun-Moon Empire has done nothing except posting safety notices and maintaining order, as well as sending a team of official merchants to distribute soul tools. .”

"30 days?" Huo Yutong was slightly taken aback, and guessed, "Could it be that they bypassed other cities and went straight to Dragon City? This speed is too fast."

Qian Chaoguang waved his hand, motioning for the shopkeeper of the Soul Emperor to continue.

The shopkeeper on duty continued: "It is worth mentioning that the people who organize and distribute the soul tools are even the servants of the original City Lord's Mansion and a part of the city defense force."

"Also... those businessmen came here last night and asked if we want to become an agent for selling some soul guides in Dragon City. I have already submitted a specific report and application"

Huo Yutong on the side said: "I see, there have been a lot of things recently, and I haven't had time to approve it for you. Just agree. You are not the first one. The rotating store manager in the occupied area has been approached before."

"This kind of thing that benefits the country and the people is good for us. The Sun Moon Empire is using their resources to pave the way for us, so there is no need to reject it."

The middle-aged Soul Emperor nodded: "Yes, the subordinate will send someone to sign a business contract with them."

Qian Zhaoguang had already fallen into deep thought, and began to reason according to the clues in the original book.

Seeing this, Huo Yutong signaled to the two of them what to do and not to wait here.

The middle-aged soul emperor and the death knight saluted again and retreated respectfully.

In the secret room where the teleportation array was located, there were only two brothers and sisters left, and it was eerily quiet.

After a long time, Qian Zhaoguang's eyes regained clarity, and he said to Huo Yutong, "There is something wrong with this city lord, we need to go to the city lord's mansion."

"Are you going to kill this traitor?" Huo Yutong asked.

She felt a chill from Qian Chaoguang's words.

The behavior of the city lord of Dragon City is actually very obvious, and it is not difficult to guess.

He should have already surrendered to the Sun Moon Empire.

But the timing of this surrender remains to be verified.

The nature of the two is completely different whether it is discovered that they are invincible and surrendered after the battle, or whether they surrender before the battle.

Most likely before.

It is even very possible that he used the mine vein in the extreme north to accept the vote, otherwise the Sun Moon Empire would not be able to go straight into Dragon City like a mad dog.

Unless they are sure that this place will not become a "rejecting horse" to stop them, but will become a place to take off.

Qian Chaoguang shook his head: "No, I'm not from the Heavenly Soul Empire. Whether he is a traitor or not has nothing to do with me. But now I suspect that Grandpa's death has something to do with him."

"Grandpa went to Dragon City back then!"

When he said this, Huo Yutong also reacted instantly, and his eyes were suddenly stained with purple and gold.

"Do you suspect that Grandpa's whereabouts were betrayed by him or his father?"

Qian Chaoguang said in a deep voice: "It is very possible, and I extremely doubt it, that the current City Lord of Dragon City did all of this. Moreover, the old City Lord died of illness nearly ten years ago, which is very close to the time of grandfather's death. It was a bit of a coincidence.”

Huo Yutong continued to follow Qian Chaoguang's deduction, and calmly analyzed:

"With Grandpa's skill and combat experience, even with a weak body, it is impossible for an ordinary evil soul master, Soul Sage, to be his opponent, let alone severely injure him."

"Graduated from Shrek's inner courtyard, the Zhu family inherited the spirit of the ghost civet cat, the best soul ring matching level 79 agility attack system war soul saint, and fought in the battlefield for decades. Grandpa has probably experienced more life and death battles than all of us combined There are many."

"Although there are many evil soul masters in the world, there are only a few who can seriously injure Grandpa. They must come from the Holy Spirit Sect. The main scope of activities of the Holy Spirit Sect is in the Sun Moon Empire. If someone hadn't notified in advance, otherwise the possibility of them ambush halfway in advance is infinite. close to zero."

Qian Chaoguang nodded and said: "That's right, I think so too. The old castellan was a student of Shrek with his grandfather back then. It was a friendship that died in the battle. It is unlikely that he leaked it. It is probably his good son. .”

"And there is another question, how did the Sun Moon Empire know that there are rare metal veins here?"

"Even the Sky Soul Empire's own people don't know, and the Dou Ling Empire has been hiding it all the time, but the oranges were able to come straight to Dragon City after a long drive. If it was all due to the prospecting department of the Sun Moon Empire, I would definitely Do not believe."

"Only the City Lord of Dragon City is able to know this news. I speculate that the old City Lord probably also learned about this matter, and the current City Lord committed the act of killing his father for his own glory and wealth. "

In the original book, it is indeed vaguely mentioned that the reason why the Sun Moon Empire learned about this mine vein was that someone provided information. After the Juzi sent people to investigate and confirmed that it was correct, they led their troops to dig large-scale.

And when the Sun Moon Empire was mining rare metals, they were always on guard against the fact that the Dou Ling Empire discovered that they were mining.

Therefore, it is impossible for the informer to come from the Dou Ling Empire—otherwise there is no need to hide it, just dig boldly.

In this way, the biggest suspect who provided the information is undoubtedly the Dragon City City Lord.

"Let's go, go to the City Lord's Mansion." Huo Yutong said coldly, "His hands and feet should be clean."

"Walk."

With a thought in Qian Chaoguang's mind, a large amount of light immediately enveloped the two of them, and then slowly dissipated, showing a transparent appearance.

Huo Yutong cast a mental barrier to block all detection methods other than the naked eye.

Although she hardly used this skill externally, as a life-saving skill, Huo Yutong practiced it a lot in private.

At that time, there was a short description on the soul crystal that originated from the Void Spirit Turtle Clan, saying that cultivating this skill to a certain level would unlock an incomparably miraculous ability.

But what this ability is, the siblings still don't know what it is.

This skill is like a bottomless pit, no matter how hard Huo Yutong studies and practices, there is a feeling that there is no end in sight.

She even felt that this skill could be improved infinitely.

The City Lord's Mansion in Dragon City is the same as the City Lord's Mansion in most cities, located in the center of the city.

It is enormous in size and can be seen from great distances.

This luxuriously decorated mansion seems to have not been baptized by the flames of war at all, nor has it been looted by the Sun Moon Empire Army, and it still maintains its original appearance.

Walking on the street with few pedestrians, Qian Chaoguang deliberately turned around in the direction of several granaries.

Well, it's still pretty much full inside.

It seems that the Lord of Dragon City never carried out the orders given by Emperor Tianhun.

The name of secretly surrendering to the enemy has been confirmed.

At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, two soldiers stood upright, wearing thick warm clothes, which looked like they were made of the fur of some kind of soul beast.

In this season, the northernmost part of the mainland is no different from winter, and the outside world is at least ten degrees below zero.

Qian Chaoguang floated up with Huo Yutong, and used his spiritual sense to lift the two of them to the roof of the central building of the City Lord's Mansion.

The thick spiritual consciousness spread out, covering the entire mansion.

At this time, the city lord's mansion seemed extremely quiet, only the occasional patrol soldiers passing by made sporadic noises.

Soon, he found out the situation in the City Lord's Mansion.

There are 150 soldiers stationed in the entire mansion, among them there are [-] soul engineers who are cultivated in the second to third rings.

Judging from the clothes on his body, he was obviously a member of the Sun Moon Empire Army - it was impossible to tell from the facial structure.

Except for the darker skin color of the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, there is almost no difference in the rest.

As for hair color and eye color, this is affected by the martial soul factor and cannot be used as a target for judging race.

At least according to Qian Chaoguang's current observation, the probability that the people on the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent are of the same origin is as high as [-]%.

The exact same language, the exact same characters, the exact same race, and almost the same culture, the two are so similar that they are copied and pasted.

It's like a pair of twin brothers, but they were separated due to some force majeure.

As a result, one side took the path of mechanical ascension, while the other took the path of spiritual ascension.

If there is a cultural distinction, it is easy to distinguish people from several different countries of the same race through different temperaments.

For example, if they are all of yellow race, even if they don't speak, normal people can basically tell who is Huaxia, who is Xiaoxiba, who is Xiaotian, and who is little monkey at a glance.

But it won't work on Douluo Continent.

The cultures of the four countries are almost identical, and naturally it is difficult to distinguish them by temperament.

In the room at the core of the City Lord's Mansion, there is a soul master at the level of a soul emperor with six rings active.

Presumably, this is the city lord who awkwardly blew oranges in the original book.

If the result of the two's previous speculations is true, then he must have been a member of the spiritual Sun Moon Empire a long time ago.

The one who was younger than the second devil, otherwise it is impossible to surrender at the speed of light to show loyalty.

Qian Chaoguang spread his consciousness again, adjusted the clarity of the picture and shared it with Huo Yutong through the soul link.

In the room, the soul emperor who was nearly fifty years old was reading some documents, occasionally nodding his head.

These are some official documents in the city, and there is nothing worth noting.

A portrait of Xu Tianran in a dragon robe hangs on the wall in the room.

Tsk, it's so simple, even the native officials of the Sun Moon Empire are not so stupid.

After a while, a few businessmen came from outside the city lord's mansion, they were the official members sent by the Sun Moon Empire.

After the notification, these people quickly came to the city lord's mansion and went straight to the room where the soul emperor was.

"My lord, the people from the Sun Moon Chamber of Commerce are here." A messenger said respectfully outside the door.

"Well, let them in."

Several businessmen entered the room led by the messenger, and bowed to the soul emperor at the same time.

"Three, how is it going? How is the plan going?" asked the city lord.

A tall and thin businessman said: "It was difficult at the beginning. Those nobles were very repulsive to us. But because you issued a decree and didn't confiscate their property, even if they secretly hated us, they didn't seem to care about us on the surface. Dare to show it, just a little resistance."

"Over the past month, we have continuously demonstrated the beauty of soul guides, and they have gradually moved them. Being in an extremely cold place, our thermal soul guides are what they are most interested in."

The city lord nodded in satisfaction: "Continue to promote and give it all to them. Don't feel bad. When they get used to this comfortable life, no one will want to return to that backward life."

"After conquering these guys, we will slowly spread the soul guide to the common people. In a few years, this city will be completely a citizen of our Sun Moon Empire."

Speaking of this, the city owner suddenly remembered something: "By the way, did the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce agree to our conditions? This is a business giant that spans four countries. If we can get their help, our plan will be implemented very easily in the future. .”

The leader of the businessman replied: "Not yet, but you don't need to worry. I guess you are asking your superiors for instructions. We also cooperated with the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce in the previous cities, and the reply time for the first communication was about one day."

The city lord nodded: "It is said that this giant chamber of commerce also came from our Sun Moon Empire. I think the low-end products they sell have imperial characteristics."

"Indeed, the headquarters of the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce and their first store are located in Mingdu." The leader of the businessman laughed, "These guys started selling these living soul tools in various places a few years in advance, and they really helped us a lot. gone."

The business leader who is lamenting that the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce has helped him a lot is actually not clear.

Instead of doing any help, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce started planning a few years in advance, in order to eliminate the influence of Juzi's so-called conspiracy and suppress its effect to a minimum.

In the original book, the Sun Moon Empire took the initiative to distribute soul guides for life, and the public would think that the soul guides were brought by the people of the Sun Moon Empire, and the convenient and comfortable life behind them was also brought by the Sun Moon Empire.

But what if they had been exposed to these things before that?

Does anyone still think that these things were brought by the people of the Sun Moon Empire?

the answer is negative.

Whether you come or not, whether you give it away or not, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce is selling these things, and it is still sold at a very affordable price.

Same stuff.

Brought by different people at different points in time, the effect presented will be completely different.

In the room, the conversation between several people is still going on.

"If they hadn't appeared in Dragon City a year ago, I almost thought they were sent by the marshal." The city lord said with emotion, "It's better to have a soul guide, what a life with a soul guide. wonderful."

"Your Excellency still has the foresight." The merchant leader complimented, "It is the general trend for our Sun Moon Empire to unify the mainland. Only Your Excellency is sensible and has become a member of our Sun Moon Empire in advance."

"According to your far-sighted vision, you will be able to achieve great things in the future. When the time comes, the adults will be prosperous, so don't forget to support us little people."

"Haha, it's easy to talk about." The city lord was full of pride, "I offered the positions of several rare metal veins to the marshal. Just a little bit out of the inside will be enough for the few of you to eat for a lifetime."

"It turns out that this news was provided by you, my lord." The leader of the businessman was extremely surprised. "This is amazing. It is really a great contribution. When the mainland is unified in the future, when the merits and deeds are rewarded in front of the hall, you will definitely have a place. !"

"Hahahahahaha."

Hearing these words, the city lord laughed triumphantly again.

The business leader also continued to compliment and flatter him as he laughed, making him even happier.

Afterwards, they had a series of discussions on how to soften those diehards, how to impress those swingers, etc.
It lasted for half an hour before several businessmen left.

Silence also returned to the city lord's office.

Without warning, the entire City Lord's Mansion became colder.

The soldier standing guard at the door shivered involuntarily, and tightened his clothes to keep out the cold.

"Go to complete our original goal first, and don't worry about taking care of him."

On the roof, Qian Zhaoguang was very calm.

His eyes were terribly calm.

The old housekeeper had passed away for many years, and Qian Chaoguang was no longer the brat who just gained power ten years ago.

Even if this person was really related to the old housekeeper's death, it wouldn't make him so angry that he burst into a rage on the spot.

From the previous words of the other party, it is not difficult to see that the previous conjectures of the two brothers and sisters were basically correct.

He provided the news about the mineral veins in the Far North.

He had already been a member of the Sun Moon Empire long before he knew it.

Now, he finally got his wish and truly became a part of the Sun Moon Empire.

Under such circumstances, Qian Chaoguang can almost be sure that the death of the old city lord and the old butler may be related to him as high as [-]%.

A vertical eye was split between Huo Yutong's forehead, showing a magnificent rose gold pattern.

Countless thin lines of different colors appeared in front of her, which were connected with something unknowable between heaven and earth.

With a light flick, there was already a red chain on the city lord's head.

He himself turned a deaf ear to this, still smiling complacently while reviewing official documents, but he did not know that the crisis was approaching.

The light in his eyes narrowed, all the miraculousness disappeared, and a little frost appeared on Huo Yutong's face.

"Whether he is one of the murderers who killed Grandpa or not, first make a mark. Even if he flees to the ends of the world, he will not escape my eyes."

Hundreds of kilometers away to the northeast of Dragon City, on the edge of the extreme north, near the border of the Heavenly Soul Empire, there is currently an army of more than [-] people stationed.

Judging from the luxurious tent and the dark pattern logo, who is it if it is not the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Group?
Juzi's direct lineage.

In the dark red commander's tent in the middle, sitting upright is the current Empress of the Sun Moon Empire, Marshal of the Eastern Expedition of the Sun Moon Empire—Ju Zi.

At this time, she was wearing a fiery red armor, sitting high above the main seat, with a little joy on her face.

Since the expedition to the Heavenly Soul Empire this time, it can be said that she has hit a wall again and again, and everything is not going well.

First, the Heavenly Soul Empire's plan to fortify the walls and clear the fields seriously hindered the advance of the army, further intensifying the conflict between the Sun Moon Empire and the local nobles of the Heavenly Soul.

It was another two defeats in the Tiandou City battle, which seriously hindered the original plan, and had to start the northern offensive ahead of schedule.

In the battle of Tiandou City, most of the high-end combat forces of the Holy Spirit Cult participated in the battle.

Even Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao made a move, but he couldn't take down Tiandou City.

It has already broken through 20.00%, and the battle damage soaring towards [-]% makes Juzi dare not continue to fight.

They had no choice but to switch from offense to defense, leaving a part of the army to wear down the national strength of the Heavenly Soul Empire bit by bit.

After this battle, the prestige that Juzi had accumulated in the army over the past few years was gone.

Especially the defeat in the fortified battle of Tiandou City was a huge blow to her.

Those veteran generals who were not very satisfied with her originally took the opportunity to attack her.

If it wasn't for the smooth progress of the follow-up offensive in the north, which took back the time wasted earlier, I'm afraid she would still suffer the crisis of impeachment.

Even with Kong Deming and Zhongli Wu's platform in Mingdu, the situation is not optimistic.

Until now, there was finally an established plan that was able to come to an end smoothly without any damage.

If there is another change in the mining plan of using war to support war, her control of the army may really have problems.

Even with her own self-confidence, there will be problems.

The battle in the Mingdou Mountain Range started well.

However, Dai Hao's actions followed up, forcibly tearing a hole in the airtight "surveillance" of the Sun Moon Empire from under Ye Xishui's nose.

He broke up the five soul master legions, with 30 people as a small team, all dispersed to make a breakthrough.

Since then, a death squad composed of five thousand soul masters broke into the mainland of the Sun Moon Empire, and began to destroy desperately and frantically.

The number of soul masters joining the army of the Star Luo Empire is not much less than the number of soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire.

As long as it is not a large-scale war, the soul master should not be killed, and the destructive power is far greater than that of the soul master.

A total of more than 160 soul master squads were scattered across the borders of the Sun Moon Empire. Any harassment in any place would be retreated in one blow, and they would flee away in an instant.

With the help of the storage soul guide, the difficulty of guerrilla warfare and tactical penetration has been reduced to the extreme.

There is no need for extremely high tactical literacy at all, it is an individual who can play it out.

In just over a month, they had caused considerable damage to the Sun Moon Empire.

For this reason, the Sun Moon Empire had to withdraw several soul engineer regiments back to defend the mainland, and even the Royal Soul Engineer regiment was transferred back, which temporarily suppressed the situation.

What the Sun Moon Empire can do now is to produce as many high-altitude detection soul guides as possible.

Rely on the advantage of information to fight against these Xingluo soul masters who sneaked into the country, and block the gap in Mingdou Mountain Range.

However, the cost of high-altitude detection soul guides is high, and the Sun Moon Empire has a vast territory and extremely long borders, so it cannot cover the entire territory no matter what.

There was a loophole in the defense line of the Mingdou Mountains, which had a great impact on the overall deployment of the Sun Moon Empire.

In the final analysis, Ye Xishui was negligent.

If she had personally acted that night, the high-level combat power of the Star Luo Empire would have been nearly wiped out.

Everyone knew who was responsible for this incident, but no one dared to claim it.

Death God Douluo Ye Xishui has a high status, and Zhongli Wu and Kong Deming are facing each other in court, so no one has the guts to question her openly.

This is impossible.

If the Sun Moon Empire wants to unify the continent, it still has to point to these two Limit Douluo and Digital Super Douluo.

The Holy Spirit can't be offended.

In terms of the overall strength of this war, the Sun Moon Empire is very confident.

The invention of linked soul guides gave them an absolute advantage in the overall war.

Even if the current linkage soul guide can only be used by the soul engineer group, it is absolutely powerful.

But in terms of high-end combat power, it is impossible for the Sun Moon Empire to compete against the entire continent by itself.

Before the birth of high-energy compressed array soul guides and those supporting soul guides, the linked soul guides launched by hundreds of soul engineers could not stop Limit Douluo and many super Douluo.

Therefore, the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire have been completely tied to each other and need to achieve each other.

Compared with the senior management of the Sun Moon Empire, Zhongliwu was extremely satisfied with what Juzi had done in the past two months.

The more people died, the stronger the Holy Spirit Cult would be, and the happier he would be.

In this way, he has more trust in Juzi.

With Kong Deming's acquiescence, Juzi has greater autonomy and more military power.

Except for the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group, now she can mobilize the four major protectors to attack at will, and carry out wars according to her own ideas.

This time, Juzi led an army of 2 people to the northeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire quietly, in order to find this large mineral deposit buried on the edge of the extreme north.

What was the war about?
Resources.

Although the Sun Moon Empire has gone through many years of preparations, it can be regarded as well-prepared.

However, Qian Chaoguang's double looting of the Sun Moon Empire's secret arsenal and Mingde Hall in Mingdu had already hurt his nerves.

After the war started, the continuous consumption of various resources was extremely huge.

Especially for rare metals, even with the support of the Holy Spirit Cult, it is a bit stretched.

The Sun Moon Empire, which started with soul tools, has never let go of its emphasis on minerals.

It can be said that the attraction of rare metals to the Sun Moon Empire is like the attraction of oil to American bacteria.

Because of this, after receiving the "treasure offering" from the city lord of Dragon City, she hurriedly sent someone over to investigate.

According to the response of the prospecting team, there is indeed such a thing.

And the internal storage capacity of this vein is huge.

If all of them can be mined, it will be enough to support the Sun Moon Empire to launch another holy war.

This piece of mineral lode is close to the northern border of the Dou Ling Empire, and is located in the central area of ​​the Sky Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire.

Before the Sun Moon Empire launched the war, the old city lord of Dragon City had already discovered this matter, but for some reason, he failed to report it to the Heavenly Soul Empire official.

Although the Dou Ling Empire also noticed something, but before they had time to mine much, the mainland war broke out.
