Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 465 Bad news comes

Three more days had passed since the Xing Luo Empire launched its exploration of the Mingdou Mountains.

After breakfast, Ji Lin and Xu Jiujiu came to the tent of the Northwest Army Group. As soon as they entered, they saw Duke Baihu and Dai Yuheng studying the map. Seeing the two of them come in, Dai Yuheng nodded at Ji Lin and smiled cordially.

As early as the first day Ji Lin arrived with Xu Jiujiu, Ji Lin and Dai Yuheng had met. The two had been teammates in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition and had a good relationship. This was also the first time Ji Lin had seen Dai Yuheng since the previous competition.

It has to be said that the battlefield and the army are indeed places that can hone a person. Compared with a few years ago, the current Dai Yuheng has changed a lot in terms of cultivation, spirit, and even personality. He has become more mature and stable, and is becoming more and more like the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao. This is something that could not be cultivated when he was in Shrek Academy.

The two sides met many times during this period, but they were not overly polite.

In the past few days, the Xingluo Empire has also made several attempts on the Mingdou Mountains, and it is very eager to destroy the high-altitude detection soul guides of the Sun and Moon Empire. Even Ji Lin took action several times at Xu Jiujiu's request, helping the Xingluo Empire to shoot down dozens of high-altitude detection soul guides.

Therefore, on the Sun-Moon Empire side, all detection soul guides were gathered towards the mountains, especially the ultra-high altitude detection soul guides, all of which were recovered. Because Ji Lin was very unsportsmanlike and asked Chi Yuan to secretly bring back a few more, even the wealthy Sun-Moon Empire could not withstand Ji Lin's extortion. An ultra-high altitude detection soul guide was very expensive. Although it was an eighth-level soul guide, its cost was close to that of a ninth-level soul guide. The Sun-Moon Empire could not afford such a loss.

Therefore, the Sun-Moon Empire not only recovered all the ultra-high altitude detection soul guides, but also collected other high altitude detection soul guides and included them in their defense range. Ji Lin and other Titled Douluo did not dare to get too close to the Sun-Moon Empire's position. After all, the white beam of light was too scary. Once locked, the Titled Douluo would have to kneel.

Time passed as both sides conducted small-scale tests.

"Report——"

Just then, a hurried voice came from outside the general's tent.

"Come in."

During this period, because the Sun-Moon Empire's surveillance of the Star Luo Empire had been drastically reduced, Duke Dai Hao of White Tiger was in a good mood. At least the tests he had made in the past few days were not in vain.

"Marshal, intelligence from the Tianhun Empire." A soldier ran in from outside, knelt on one knee in front of Duke Baihu, and presented a letter.

Intelligence about the Heavenly Soul Empire? Is it finally here? Both Xu Jiujiu and Duke Baihu were shocked. Ji Lin and Dai Yuheng also looked over curiously. They were also very curious about the current situation of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The situation of the Tianhun Empire is extremely important to the Xingluo Empire, and it can also affect the entire war situation!

Dai Hao hurriedly took the letter and opened it. After just a few glances, his face changed instantly and turned pale. The hand holding the letter trembled subconsciously.

Xu Jiujiu also stood up immediately. Looking at Dai Hao's expression, she could guess that the situation in the Tianhun Empire was probably very bad.

"You go down first." Dai Hao barely suppressed his emotions and waved to the soldiers.

The soldiers retreated, and only Ji Lin and the other four were left in the general's tent.

Ji Lin and the others did not ask questions immediately. At this time, perhaps Duke White Tiger needed to calm down. They just needed to wait for Duke White Tiger to tell them.

"Your Highness, this time, I'm afraid that our Douluo Continent will really be hit by a catastrophe." Duke Baihu sighed and handed the letter in his hand to Xu Jiujiu.

Xu Jiujiu's heart sank when she heard what he said. She took the letter and read it. For the convenience of Ji Lin and Dai Yuheng, she directly read out the contents: "The capital of the Tianhun Empire, Tiandou City, has fallen. The Sun-Moon Empire's army has captured more than one-third of the territory of the Tianhun Empire, and is still attacking at an astonishing speed. The west of Tiandou City has all fallen into the hands of the Sun-Moon Empire. Among them, on the Tianhun Empire side, the leader of the Body Sect, Du Bu Si, was severely injured and his life or death is unknown. The Body Sect lost nearly half of its elite troops. Four of the six soul master corps of the Tianhun Empire were destroyed, and the remaining two protected the Tianhun Empire royal family and retreated to the east."

"The Sun-Moon Empire has deployed a total of 300,000 troops, including seven soul mentor regiments. The four beast king-level soul mentor regiments in the Hand of the Nation, except for the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Regiment, all participated in this operation. The Holy Spirit Church sent a large number of evil soul masters to assist. Among them, the main body leader Du Bu Si was severely injured by two evil soul masters, one of whom seemed to be the Holy Spirit Church leader, the Dark Holy Dragon. Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao did not take action. At present, the defeat of the Heavenly Soul Empire is a foregone conclusion. Our two supporting army soul master corps and the reinforcements of the Douluo Empire are converging with the remnants of the Heavenly Soul Empire." The content on the letter ended here.

Hearing these words, Dai Yuheng's face changed drastically, and Ji Lin's mouth twitched as well. Although they had long known that the Tianhun Empire would suffer a loss, they did not expect that the Sun-Moon Empire would be so fierce. From the beginning of the war to now, it has been less than half a month, and the Tianhun Empire has even lost its own imperial city. This is with the help of the Body Sect. Although the Sun-Moon Empire also has the assistance of the Holy Spirit Church, the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao did not take any action!
You know, Tiandou City was already the most prominent city on the continent ten thousand years ago, and was as famous as Xingluo City of the Xingluo Empire. In just over ten days, Tiandou City fell and the Tianhun Empire was completely defeated. This is really incredible. At this rate, the Sun and Moon Empire may be able to conquer the entire Tianhun Empire in half a month to a month at most. By then, it can not only threaten the flanks of the Xingluo Empire and the front of the Douling Empire, but even threaten Shrek Academy located in the center of the Three Kingdoms!

It seems that many people are getting restless now.

Inside the tent, Ji Lin and the other three fell into silence. This situation was even more tragic than they had imagined.

Ji Lin also frowned. With the speed at which the Sun-Moon Empire was sweeping across the Sky Soul Empire, he was afraid that before his research could produce results, the Sun-Moon Empire might have already swept across the original Three Douluo Kingdoms.

This wouldn't do. He had to create some trouble for the Sun-Moon Empire. He couldn't let them have it so easy. He had to delay their progress, at least until his trump card was revealed.

"Ji Lin, what should we do?" Duke Baihu asked suddenly. As calm as he was, he was also a little panicked. At this time, he placed his hopes on Ji Lin, who had saved him twice and seemed unfathomable to him.

The Xingluo Empire's army, or all its elite troops, were gathered on the western front, but were pinned down by the Sun-Moon Empire relying on the Mingdou Mountains. In this situation, Duke Baihu had only a few options, but none of them could fully cope with the situation at hand.

Withdraw troops? If the Sun-Moon Empire suppresses the Mingdou Mountains, a large amount of territory of the Xingluo Empire will be lost, and the people will not have time to evacuate.

Continuing the confrontation would undoubtedly be the most disadvantageous situation. Attacking? Facing the powerful weapons in the Mingdou Mountains, they had no idea what to do. If they really attacked, they would suffer heavy losses. It was still unknown whether they could rush through after the losses. Once the losses were too great, what would they use to compete with the Sun and Moon Empire in the future?

Rescue the Tianhun Empire? Is it still possible to rescue it now? Besides, if the army goes to rescue, what will happen to the Xingluo Empire itself?
If the army continues to confront and does not send reinforcements, what if the Sun-Moon Empire sends an elite force from the south of the Sky Soul Empire to rush into the Xingluo Empire and directly threaten Xingluo City?
These questions kept lingering in the mind of Duke White Tiger, but he could not think of any solution that could completely deal with them.

That's why he asked this question. Now the Duke of White Tiger is confused.

There was no way, the gap was too big. The Sun-Moon Empire only had a super soul guide, but it was able to trap the main force of the Star Luo Empire in the Mingdou Mountains. Then, in less than half a month, it defeated the Tianhun Empire and occupied Tiandou City, the capital of the Tianhun Empire. This was simply too shocking.

Anyone who stood in the position of Duke White Tiger would panic. It is remarkable that Duke White Tiger was not frightened and was able to maintain his fighting spirit.

What to do? This is the common question of Dai Hao and Xu Jiujiu. Both of them are looking at Ji Lin now. Xu Jiujiu is also a little panicked. Although Ji Lin's trump card is very strong, if it is successfully made, it will definitely be able to turn the tide, but the premise is that there is that time. According to the current marching speed of the Sun and Moon Empire, they may not be able to wait until the time to reveal the trump card, because the trump card is not ready yet!
Now only four people in the general's team know the news, and the news has not yet spread out, otherwise the entire Northwest Army Group would fall into panic.

But truth will come to light sooner or later. Such a big thing will be exposed sooner or later, and by then we will have to find a way to stabilize the morale of the army.

Among the four, Ji Lin was the calmest. Although the progress of the Sun-Moon Empire was beyond his expectations, according to his estimation, the Sky Soul Empire could hold out for at least two months with the help of the Body Sect. However, it was defeated in just half a month. Even the leader of the Body Sect, Du Bu Si, was seriously injured. That was a level 98 Super Douluo with a Body Martial Soul. He could fight against ordinary Extreme Douluos, but he was defeated without even seeing Dragon Emperor Douluo. The Holy Spirit Sect was too powerful.

No! We must give the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church some strength.

"Marshal Dai, block the news first. No one else can know the news, not even the leaders of the various soul guide groups."

Hearing Ji Lin's calm voice, Xu Jiujiu felt much more at ease, and Dai Hao also recovered from his panic. He took a deep breath and was very dissatisfied with his performance just now. His face changed several times in a row, and finally he slowly calmed down.

Ji Lin was right. The top priority now was to stabilize the military's morale, block the news, and maintain the combat effectiveness of the entire army.
