Huo Yuhao, newborn of Douluo continent

Chapter 457 Sweeping the Heavenly Soul
Xu Tianran and Feng Ling both escaped the pursuit of Fire Phoenix, but the fate of Dragon City's fall was unavoidable.

This time, Huo Yuhao and Huo Fenghuang did not choose to retreat. They took over the city lord's palace and killed all the garrison.

He also asked Fire Phoenix to send people to patrol day and night to maintain order in the city.

The phenomenon of the Sun and Moon Empire troops maintaining order in Dragon City did not make the people in the city feel the slightest bit at ease.

They had not done this before after breaking the city, and any change in precedent during the war would make people feel panicked.

The civilians awaited their upcoming fate with trepidation.

There was a reason why Huo Yuhao decided to settle in Dragon City.

After Dragon City was broken, all the resistance forces in the entire northern territory of the Tianhun Empire were uprooted, and there was no longer any force that could threaten them.

There will be no problems in taking a short rest in Dragon City.

Another point is that they need to occupy Dragon City to continue advancing towards the hinterland of Tianhun.

After discussion, Huo Yuhao, Orange and Luan Feng have completely decided on the next strategic policy.

They decided to cooperate with the heavy border troops to bulldoze Tianhun first.

It would be better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them. Flattening the entire territory of Tianhun would greatly weaken the fighting will of the Douluo Alliance and weaken their war potential.

After taking control of Tianhun, both the personnel and material reserves of the Douluo Alliance will be greatly reduced.

This is very important to the Sun and Moon Empire.

Since the empire's goal is to unify the entire continent, this step must be done no matter what.

But there are two major problems in the process of promoting Tianhun.

The first is Tiandou City, which is the capital of the Tianhun Empire. The will to resist and the defensive strength are not too weak.

But everyone is confident of conquering it. The main strength of the Tianhun Empire is concentrated on the border, and the defense strength of Tiandou City is not at its peak.

A complete team of soul engineers is enough to win.

The second problem is the key point, which is Shrek City located in Tianhun territory.

Shrek City does not belong to Tianhun, but it is indeed located in the territory of Tianhun. If you want to capture the entire territory of Tianhun, this city is inevitable.

In this regard, Huo Yuhao described Shrek City's powerful defense system in detail to Orange and Luanfeng.

This city was built mainly to guard against the beast tide in the Star Dou Forest, and its defense power was extremely powerful.

Although now because of the beginning of a new round of holy war, most of Shrek's strong men have been sent to fight on the front line.

But Shrek will definitely leave enough power in Shrek City to prevent the soul beasts from attacking the city in a short period of time, and it is impossible for them to all come out in full force.

Because of the existence of this part of power, Huo Yuhao didn't think that a group of soul engineers could defeat Shrek. It would only be possible with the cooperation of a large army.

Shrek has been in business for ten thousand years, and Shrek City's defense methods are impregnable.

The power of a group of soul engineers would not be stronger than one percent of a beast tide.

After discussion, Shrek City will not be included in the attack scope for the time being, and it will be considered again after joining the army.

The strategy was established, and the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group set off from Dragon City again after resting for only one day.

It is worth mentioning that as soon as Fire Phoenix took control of Dragon City, it immediately implemented the laws of the Sun and Moon Empire here, as if Dragon City was already a territory belonging to the Sun and Moon Empire.

Fire Phoenix showed such a gesture in order to combat the luck mentality of the civilians.

Just to tell them that killing the defense forces before was just a trivial matter, but now it is true that the Sun and Moon Empire has the ability to destroy the heavenly soul.

The Soul Engineer Group marched very fast. Starting from Dragon City and advancing all the way to important cities in the Tianhun hinterland that had been left defenseless due to the border war, the marching speed was not even slowed down.

Moreover, because the marching speed was too fast, when the attack reached the next city, the information about the fall of the previous city had not yet been transmitted.

Under such circumstances, the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group pushed all the way, and it didn't take long to reach the last city before Tiandou City.

As long as this city is captured, Tianhun's capital, Tiandou City, will no longer have any pass and the road will be smooth.

This city is called Chengtian City, which means guarding Tiandou. It was the name given when the Tiandou Empire still existed. Since the name of Tiandou City has not been changed, the name of this city has naturally not been changed.

With the Fire Phoenix's marching speed, this city would generally not have time to fortify itself.

But due to Xu Tianran and Fengling's escape, the Tianhun Empire's royal family finally reacted at the last moment.

Heavy troops temporarily recruited were deployed on the last line of defense in Tiandou City.

They say they have heavy troops, but in fact the organization of these troops is very chaotic.

Because it is a temporary recruitment, we can only guarantee the quantity, but cannot guarantee the quality at all. If we put some temporary troops here, at least the quantity will be acceptable.

In addition, Emperor Tianhun also transferred back all the elite troops on the border front to guard Tiandou City.

No one at the top of the coalition could say anything about this crisis situation with the sword hanging on their foreheads.

If someone said that Tianhun should not be allowed to support the capital, I am afraid that the coalition would immediately fall apart.

If I didn't join you, I could still use my own strength to resist the enemy. But if I join you, when the capital is threatened, I won't be able to mobilize even a single soldier?
In this case, who would dare to serve the coalition forces?

Therefore, the top leaders of the coalition forces allowed the Tianhun elite to leave, while trying their best to appease Tianhun and persuade them to abandon Tiandou City and transfer the royal family to Xingluo or Dou Ling, because the border defense line must not be lost.

Unfortunately, the efforts of the top leaders of the coalition failed. It is impossible for the Tianhun Empire to give up Tiandou City so easily. This is the foundation of Tianhun.

Seeing that the situation was unstoppable, the top leaders of the coalition forces made a prompt decision to abandon the Tianhun defense line and shrink with all their strength, trying their best to ensure that the Xingluo defense line was not lost.

At the same time, the troops drawn from the Tianhun defense line immediately prepared for the next war, the Shrek Defense War.

Because after the fall of the entire Tianhun Empire, the Sun Moon Empire's next target must be Shrek City, the only fortified city in the Tianhun Empire.

This will be the next focus of defense for the coalition forces.

At the same time, heavy troops must be deployed at the border between Dou Ling and Tianhun, otherwise Dou Ling will soon fall.

This decision is undoubtedly an attempt to make up for the situation. Once the Heavenly Soul is lost, the entire coalition defense line will be at a loss. The Sun and Moon Empire can advance, attack, retreat or defend, and will occupy a completely active position.

The situation of the remaining two empires will be even more difficult.

That's right, no one believes that Tianhun will defend Tiandou City.

Maybe even they themselves don't believe it, but this strategy of retreating without a fight is unlikely to be accepted by anyone.

This is the capital of an empire. If the capital is abandoned, there will be no need for this empire to exist.

Any force belonging to the Tianhun Empire should no longer expect high combat effectiveness. Those who can even give up their own home will vent their anger to the end.

Therefore, a result that is destined to fail, but many people will be buried with it.This is not an absolutely rational approach, but there is no way. The most rational approach may not necessarily be the most appropriate.

But all of this takes time. If the Fire Phoenix had defeated Tiandou City before the reinforcements from the Tianhun Empire arrived, the result would have been different.

The meanings of active abandonment and passive abandonment are different. If Tiandou City is attacked first by Fire Phoenix, it may be a better result.

This way Tianhun would have a suitable reason to give up Tiandou.

But the Fire Phoenix outside Chengtian City didn't think so.

From Dragon City to here, Fire Phoenix's front is very long. Although they have contributed too many important cities, this also makes their situation dangerous.

They were in the absolute hinterland of Tianhun. If they were surrounded here, perhaps the entire division would be annihilated.

Therefore, the smart Huo Yuhao and others have decided that Chengtian will be the last city they attack.

After capturing Chengtian, he immediately hid and waited to join the large army.

Although Tiandou City is now empty, without the assistance of a large force, it cannot be defended after being captured.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao and the others made such a decision.

It is really difficult for the miscellaneous troops temporarily deployed by Chengtian to compete with the best of the best, the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group.

After paying a huge price in casualties, they finally escaped from the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group in embarrassment and fled back to Tiandou City in embarrassment.

However, after Chengtian City's delay, Tiandou City successfully delayed the arrival of the first batch of supporting troops.

They are the troops of the Noumenon Sect.

The Noumenon Sect is now the state religion of the Tianhun Empire, and the capital is in danger, so they may be indifferent.

Therefore, when they learned the news, they were the first to rush over, and they were also the fastest unit.

With the help of Noumenon Sect, Emperor Tianhun finally gained some confidence to defend Tiandou City.

But what he didn't expect was that after capturing Chengtian, Huo Fenghuang only rested there for a short time and then left immediately.

He had no desire to attack Tiandou.

But the fact that Fire Phoenix doesn't come doesn't mean that the pressure on Tiandou City has disappeared.

Because what followed was the sun and moon army that entered Tianhun's country after the Tianhun border collapsed.

Emperor Tianhun withdrew not just one army at the border, but several elite troops.

Faced with the technological crushing of the Sun and Moon Empire, the border defense line was very difficult. Several elite troops had withdrawn. Who could resist the Sun and Moon army on the border front?

The Tianhun Empire is centered on Tiandou City. Half of it was pushed from the north by Huo Yuhao and the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group, and the other half was swept by the Sun and Moon Army from the west.

Most of Tianhun's entire country had fallen, and the cities that Huo Yuhao and the others had previously captured were finally under the control of the Sun and Moon Empire's army.

Now, the Tianhun Empire only has one Tiandou City and Shrek City on the southeastern border, two cities with defensive value.

And all of this was the result of Huo Yuhao and the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group sneaking across the northern border.

Xu Hanming was happy, and the original stalemate was immediately broken. Due to the pressure from the capital, the Tianhun Empire voluntarily gave up the natural border security.

The Sun and Moon army did not suffer much loss, and they chased Tianhun's retreating army all the way to Tiandou City.

Once Tian Dou is defeated, it will be the greatest achievement in the 3000 years since the Sun Moon Empire and Douluo Continent collided!

Xu Hanming couldn't wait to leave his name in the history books, so at the beginning of the war, he ordered his troops to start a fierce attack.

At this time, the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group had successfully reunited with Xu Hanming, and the order they received again was to attack the north gate of Tiandou City.

Besides them, there was another group of soul engineers involved in this battle, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group.

In order to ensure the victory of the war and end the war quickly, Xu Hanming immediately invested two soul engineer groups in this battle, and the other two were arranged at the border with Xingluo to guard against the coalition forces there.

On the day of the main attack, Huo Yuhao was still part of the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group.

He observed the coalition forces in the direction of Tiandou City with a critical eye, and found that the troops here were mainly strong men from the Haotian Sect.

Needless to say, the other main direction of attack is naturally the strong ones from the Noumenon Sect.

Huo Yuhao was originally a little wary of the Haotian Sect, thinking that they had lived in seclusion for thousands of years and their background would be terrible, but now it seems that they are not as strong as he imagined.

Throughout the entire war, no Ultimate Douluo appeared in the Haotian Sect. The most powerful among them was the level 98 super Douluo on the city wall, Tang Ye.

He is strong, but not that strong, and he has no power to change the situation on the battlefield.

A huge hammer that seemed to be able to cover the sky and the sun fell into Fire Phoenix's formation, but it did not cause any damage. Tang Ye was unable to defeat Fire Phoenix with his own strength.

After Tang Ye's attack, Luan Feng began to counterattack. She calmly directed Fire Phoenix to start the attack, and the powerful destructive power was released on the northern wall of Tiandou City.

Tang Ye had a solemn look on his face. Compared with the attack power of the soul mentor group, the Clear Sky Hammer looked dim.

Times have really changed. This is the biggest truth that Tang Ye has realized in these days' battles with the Sun and Moon Empire.

He had dealt with soul masters more than once on the border battlefield. Those people were obviously much weaker than him in cultivation, but they were able to fight him successfully.

His attacks hit the soul masters, and they could all be blocked by an almost transparent shield that lit up on their bodies, but their casual blows could explode with power that was not weaker than his own.

Those soul engineers don't even have the power of a Super Douluo!
Tang Ye fell into deep confusion.

The dark green brilliance was refracted by the bright armor of the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructors and entered Tang Ye's eyes.

That was Du Buushi, the leader of the Noumenon Sect in another direction, taking action with all his strength.

But even though he was as powerful as poison, his power occupied half of the sky, and his dark green light was everywhere, he still couldn't do anything to the group of soul engineers opposite him.

Just a legion of soul masters who looked like fish in his eyes were enough to compete with a Super Douluo who had almost reached the peak of human cultivation.

And it is said that these people can really fight with Extreme Douluo without losing.

This was impossible to imagine in the previous world.

Even Du Bushu's all-out attack can't save Tiandou City, which means that Tiandou City will be destroyed!

Tang Ye couldn't help but worry about the future of the coalition, but suddenly, he thought of those few people.

They have obtained the qualifications for the divine examination in the Qiankun Wenqing Valley in the Sun and Moon Empire. As long as they can pass the test, there is still hope for everything!
