Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 441 Squandered

It’s no wonder that the soul guide troops of the Sun-Moon Empire were caught off guard. No matter what era it is, the emergence of new weapons can always turn the tide of the battle.

For an empire, the most important thing is innovation and the upgrading of weapons. Once it stops moving forward, it is likely to be surpassed by the enemy.

Falling behind is a devastating blow to an empire. This is the situation of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms now. Compared with the Sun-Moon Empire, they are too backward, so they are suppressed even when their high-end combat power has an advantage.

The third wave of shells from Zhuge's divine crossbow was no longer aimed at the North City, but were projected towards the city walls on the east and west sides. The soul guide corps positions stationed outside the East City and the West City had no way to stop these fixed-type soul guide shells, because when they were fired, the trajectory was much lower than before, and they lost the lock of the high-altitude detection soul guide device, so everyone became blind. How could they blindly fire soul guide shells into the city?
You have to know that there are a large number of civilians from the Sun and Moon Empire in Risheng City. The soul guide troops are not crazy evil soul masters, they are soldiers defending their country. How could they fire soul guide shells at their own civilians?

At the same time as the third wave of artillery shells was fired, outside the north city, the brilliant golden eighth-level soul guide shells also collided with the powerful defensive shield.

"Rumble..."

The earth shook and the terrifying force of the explosion was earth-shaking. Even the civilians in Mingdu could faintly hear the sound of the explosion.

Outside the Soul Guide Corps' position, the protective shield was crumbling, but thanks to the powerful defensive power of the shield, it actually managed to withstand the attack.

The commander, who had quickly rushed to the core position, was horrified and finally let out a long sigh of relief the next moment.

"Fortunately, it was a level 7 soul guide shell, not a level 8, otherwise the shield would not be able to withstand it. Pass my order, everyone, use all your soul power, increase the soul power reserve of the defensive soul guide, and launch the backup high-altitude detection soul guide into the air."

Although the high-altitude detection soul guides in the sky are already the majority of their two soul guide groups' reserves, there are still some spare ones. Although the number of these spare high-altitude detection soul guides is small, it is better to have them than not! They have become accustomed to the high-altitude detection soul guides guiding their operations. Without them, they dare not even act rashly in their original positions.

The deputy commander, who was the commander, had a very ugly face at this moment. He said to himself fiercely, "These good-for-nothings in the city, didn't they know that someone had sneaked in with so many fixed-type soul guide cannons? This is the power that can only be produced by more than 300 fixed-type soul guide cannons above level 4. The area required to install these soul guide cannons is not small. These bastards who eat for free didn't even notice so many soul guides in the city? They are really bastards, huh? Why is the ground shaking a little? Quick, where is the ground detection soul guide? Feel it, is it a ground dragon turning over?"

The next second after the deputy captain talked to himself, his face changed drastically. He saw that the ground under his feet had completely turned golden, and the area covered by this golden color far exceeded the range of their soul guide position.

"Damn it! It's an eighth-level soul guide, not a seventh-level one!"

When the soul guide shells and the soul guide shield collided and exploded, no one saw that a more dazzling ball of golden light had fiercely pierced into the ground, and then quietly moved forward hundreds of meters underground, arriving at the core position of their garrison, and then...

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

The terrifying golden light instantly turned the entire area outside the North City into a golden ocean. A huge ball of golden light, like the rising sun, half of its body was revealed on the ground. In the face of this terrifying explosion that was like the power of heaven, only less than ten soul masters activated their own soul guide shields, invincible shields and flying soul guides in time and rushed out from the area covered by the terrifying golden light.

At the same time as the explosion, the walls of East City and West City were also bombarded by hundreds of fixed-type soul-guided artillery shells. How big is this city? It's just a medium-sized city.

On the city walls at the east and west ends, a large number of various detection soul guides and defense soul guides were shining brightly.

The area on the top of the city is limited, and most of the equipment here is for various detection soul guides outside and inside the city. Who would have thought that when there are two soul guide groups stationed outside the city, the city wall can still be attacked directly? Or from the inside out, so the defense on the top of the city is not strong.

Therefore, the various expensive detection soul guides on the city walls were buried along with more than one-third of the city walls the moment their defensive soul guides were finally shattered after they could no longer withstand the bombardment.

The rescue team and Wang Qiuer, who had just achieved gratifying results, recovered the Zhuge Divine Crossbows as quickly as possible. They knew that they didn't have much time left.

Although the results were beyond expectations, most people had a look of pain on their faces.

In three waves of artillery shells, they squandered at least thousands of fixed-type soul guide shells. Even if this was jointly funded by the three empires, its value could not be measured in money. For the original Douluo Three Kingdoms that lacked soul guides, this was equivalent to one-fifth of their military reserves.

But in order to break the conspiracy of the Sun and Moon Empire and rescue the hostages, the three empires gritted their teeth and spent a lot of money, which led to the impressive record tonight. In order to make this operation go smoothly, they directly squandered all the accumulation of the three empires over the years at one time, which made them feel sad.

The power of Zhuge's divine crossbow is indeed strong. Its terrifying firing speed is definitely much more powerful than that of soul guides of the same level.

But behind this terrifying firing speed, it requires countless money to accumulate. If it is fired with soul power, it is better. Like today, all are fired with fixed soul guide shells. The power is huge and the effect is excellent. But it is also heartbreaking and breathtaking!
The rescue team and Wang Qiuer and others took advantage of the cover of darkness and quickly disappeared into the city. Without the high-altitude detection soul guide, no one could detect their actions.

Just after Wang Qiuer and the others escaped quietly, the entire Risheng City seemed to be awakened and began to take action.

The Second Elder and the Fourth Elder of the Holy Spirit Church, both powerful Titled Douluo with frosty faces, had already soared into the sky and were heading towards the North City. As they rose into the air, they saw the shocking explosion of a huge ball of golden light.

The defense of the water prison is the most important, so even at this time, the second elder still left the three Zhongli brothers to guard the water prison.

When there was chaos in Risheng City, Ji Lin had quietly arrived outside the city wall of South City and quietly entered the moat.

Without the high-altitude detection soul guide, Ji Lin could avoid the guards and enter the moat without Chi Yuan leading him.

Ji Lin first used his mental power to investigate the situation inside the water dungeon. Soon, he felt the active soul power in the bodies of the hostages. Perhaps their physical strength had not yet fully recovered, but they were enough to fight.

With one hand grasping the iron bars at the entrance of the water dungeon, he pressed the other hand lightly towards the moat water. An ice-blue light spread out, and the extreme coldness spread outward in an instant. The moat outside was rapidly freezing at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

The moat, which was originally a flowing water, was blocked by an ice wall in just a short while, and the scope of the ice wall was expanding to both sides at an alarming speed.

Under Ji Lin's control, the power of the extreme ice was exerted just right. Just like the water in the water dungeon would not flow out, the extremely cold temperature would not be transmitted in at this time. Otherwise, if all the hostages in the water dungeon were frozen, it would be a bit troublesome.

Ji Lin swung the Heavenly Fire Holy Judge in his hand, and several red sword lights flashed, and the iron fence at the entrance was silently cut into pieces.

Quietly diving in and swimming in the water, Ji Lin's mental power began to spread outward, and mental detection gradually covered the entire water prison.

At this time, the evil soul masters in the water prison were all a little nervous, and the three Zhongli brothers also gathered together at the other end of the water prison, which was the real entrance.

They could never imagine that with so many soul-detecting devices on the top of South City, someone would sneak in from the moat. In their minds, the river water was extremely poisonous, and if a soul master swam in it, his soul power would soon dissipate. What threat could there be?
Ji Lin released his mental power and deliberately avoided the area where the three Zhongli brothers were.

"The time has come, get ready." Ji Lin's mental thoughts were quickly transmitted to the consciousness of most of the hostages through mental detection.

The hostages who had been pretending to be weak suddenly perked up.

In fact, they could no longer hold back after their soul power was restored. Although there were quite a few evil soul masters here, they were nothing compared to the number of hostages. Previously, there were two evil soul masters who were Titled Douluo, so they were still a little afraid. But at this time, the number of evil soul masters had obviously decreased a lot!

If it weren't for the leading teachers of the various sect academies suppressing them, the young and energetic disciples of the sect academies would have been unable to hold back long ago. Having been detained here for several months, one can imagine the frustration in their hearts.

South city wall.

All the patrolling soldiers now cast their eyes towards the direction of the North City. The brilliant golden light rising from there had only gradually faded at this moment. There were faint flames rising from the East and West walls. The violent explosions made the atmosphere in the South City particularly depressing.

Many soldiers were secretly thankful that nothing had happened on their side.
