Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 478 Shrek's Actions
Shrek City, Poseidon Island.

It was just dawn and the Seagod Lake was still filled with morning mist. The Seagod Island was looming in the haze, like a pearl in the sea. After the Xingluo Empire reoccupied the Mingdou Mountains, Shrek Academy once again opened the Seagod Pavilion meeting.

When the war started, Shrek Academy was no longer peaceful. The Poseidon Pavilion meetings, which used to be held only once a year, now had to be held once a month, and if there were special circumstances, they would be held more frequently.

Xuan Zi sat on the main seat with an unpleasant look on his face. He sighed and said, "The situation on the continent has suddenly become so terrible. I didn't expect that the Sun Moon Empire is hiding so deeply."

Zhang Lexuan asked hurriedly: "When I received the news before, I heard that a large area of ​​the Tianhun Empire had fallen, even Tiandou City. What is the situation now?"

Elder Xuan shook his head and said, "The situation is very bad. More than two-thirds of the land of the Sky Soul Empire has been captured by the Sun Moon Empire. If it weren't for the Sun Moon Empire's need to disperse its forces to control the occupied land and stabilize the mood of the people of the Sky Soul Empire, I'm afraid the entire Sky Soul Empire would have fallen into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire. The remnants of the Sky Soul Empire have joined forces with the reinforcements of the Xing Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire to defend the last piece of land, but it is extremely difficult to hold on. The Sky Soul Empire has sent envoys to our academy to request assistance, and the Dou Ling Empire's army has also begun to enter the territory of the Sky Soul Empire."

The elders of the Poseidon Pavilion looked at each other and were not too surprised. They had already judged such a situation. The idea of ​​the Douling Empire was very clear. They hoped to keep the powerful enemy out of the country. It was obviously most advantageous for them to hold the battlefield in the Tianhun Empire. Therefore, it was normal for them to send troops. Otherwise, if the Tianhun Empire was destroyed, they would be like the Xingluo Empire and would have to be prepared to withstand the artillery fire of the Sun and Moon Empire at any time.

As for the Tianhun Empire asking for help from Shrek Academy, it is also very normal. After all, Shrek Academy is located in the Tianhun Empire. If the Tianhun Empire is destroyed, Shrek will also be affected. However, the Tianhun Empire's national defense sect, the Body Sect, cannot withstand the strong attack of the Sun and Moon Empire. How much stronger can Shrek Academy be than the Body Sect?

In terms of overall strength, Shrek Academy is definitely stronger, but don't forget that Shrek is an academy, not a sect. It is far from being as united as the main sect. The elders of the academy are naturally not a problem, but the teachers and students below are not obliged to fight for the academy. Even if they are willing, the academy's top management must consider the safety of these teachers and students, unlike the sect where everyone in the sect shares life and death.

Therefore, in response to the Tianhun Empire's request for help, Old Xuan has been hesitant these days and has not yet sent out reinforcements.

Reinforcements must be sent, but the extent of the support is a big problem. If the Tianhun Empire is completely conquered by the Sun-Moon Empire, then the Sun-Moon Empire will be able to directly threaten Shrek City. Even if the Sun-Moon Empire will not go too far because Shrek Academy is just an academy, it is impossible for Shrek Academy to remain independent and will definitely be incorporated by the Sun-Moon Empire.

You know, when the Sun-Moon Empire and Douluo Continent collided, the initial war was fought because of the intervention of Shrek Academy, which eventually repelled the invasion of the Sun-Moon Empire on the three countries that originally belonged to Douluo Continent. In the end, the Sun-Moon Empire was defeated and has been retreating for thousands of years since then.

Due to such historical factors, once the Sun-Moon Empire has an overall advantage, it is impossible for it to leave Shrek Academy alone. The Sun-Moon Empire, which possesses the most advanced soul guides on the continent, is not something that Shrek Academy and a single city of Shrek can resist.

"Mr. Xuan, you must take care of yourself!" Looking at Mr. Xuan's old face and the extra wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, Yan Shaozhe was worried. Mr. Xuan is now the strongest fighter in Shrek Academy and the leader of Poseidon Pavilion. Once Mr. Xuan falls, the situation of Shrek Academy will become even more difficult.

Elder Xuan glanced at Yan Shaozhe, smiled gently, and said, "To be honest, I am not a good leader. When Elder Mu was here, I lived a free and unrestrained life every day and was always very happy. Since Elder Mu passed away, this burden has been placed on my shoulders. I now truly understand what kind of responsibility Elder Mu has shouldered over the years."

"It would be great if the Sun-Moon Empire could start a war a few decades later! By then the younger generation will have grown up, and I can pass this burden on to the young people."

At this point, Old Xuan smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his vicissitudes of life smile.

"We have received news from the Xingluo Empire that Ye Xishui is still alive. She is from the same era as Mu Lao. She is now the Death God Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire. With her and Long Xiaoyao, we can't stop them alone. Now on the Douluo Continent, the only ones who can fight against them are Chiyuan Douluo and Beast God Emperor Tian. Although Beast God Emperor Tian has had some interactions with us over the years because of the Stigma and Liyue Chamber of Commerce, Beast God Emperor Tian represents the interests of soul beasts after all. With his personality, he would like us humans to suffer losses and all elites to die, which is the most beneficial to their soul beasts. So, even if he takes action, he will definitely wait until we are both defeated. We can't count on her now." "The only one who can help us now is Chiyuan Douluo. Considering that the little guy Ji Lin once studied at Shrek Academy, it should be no problem to ask her to take action, but after the battle in Mingdou Mountains, Chiyuan Douluo announced that she would be in seclusion. I'm afraid we can't count on her before she comes out."

Zhang Lexuan said: "Master Xuan, can we gather some hidden sects to fight against the Sun Moon Empire? After all, if the three countries of Douluo Continent were invaded by the Sun Moon Empire, they would not have a good ending. "

Xuan Lao said: "We are already doing this, and some sects have responded. However, the Sun-Moon Empire is far ahead of us in soul technology. Their group combat capability is invincible on the battlefield. I have obtained some detailed reports from the Heavenly Soul Empire. The battle loss ratio between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire is almost ten to one! Even in the battle to defend Tiandou City with the participation of the Body Sect, the battle loss ratio was five to one. It is hard to say how the future battle will be. Fortunately, Chiyuan Douluo helped the Xingluo Empire to recapture the Mingdou Mountains, and finally delayed the Sun-Moon Empire for a while. Time is becoming more and more important to us now. I have asked the Academy's Soul Guidance Department to fully manufacture soul guides and equip our Shrek City Defense Force. We can only hope that our Shrek City Defense Force can turn the tide."

Zhang Lexuan pursed her lips and sighed in her heart. She knew very well that the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy had indeed made a lot of progress over the years, but their Shrek Academy was a single city with limited productivity. Moreover, whether it was rare metals or soul guidance technology, they were far inferior to the Sun-Moon Empire, especially rare metals, which were essential resources for war. Most of these resources were in the hands of the Sun-Moon Empire. If they had not emptied a military warehouse of the Sun-Moon Empire in Mingdu before, their situation would be even more difficult now.

With the productivity of Shrek City, how easy would it be to equip a fighting force capable of fighting against the Soul Instructor Corps of the Sun-Moon Empire?

"Master Xuan, do you want to go to the Liyue Chamber of Commerce and talk to Di Tian?"

Elder Xuan shook his head and said, "It's useless. Soul beasts are always particular. Those who are not of our kind must have different hearts. Emperor Tian will only watch from the sidelines and at most save the Liyue Chamber of Commerce. As for other humans, the more they die, the happier he is. There's no need to waste your efforts. You go down and prepare. I'll notify you if there's any new battle situation."

Zhang Lexuan and the others had no choice but to leave Poseidon Pavilion. Afterwards, the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy worked at full capacity. Under the leadership of Vice President Qian Duoduo, they devoted all their efforts to making soul guides. Beibei's Tang Sect also joined in to contribute to Shrek Academy.

The most urgent task for Shrek Academy now is to equip an army that can compete with the Soul Master Corps of the Sun-Moon Empire. The army is composed of teachers and elite disciples who are willing to fight for Shrek Academy. They are all Soul Masters above the fourth ring. In terms of soul power cultivation, they are not inferior to the Sun-Moon Empire's Protector of the Nation.

After discussion at Poseidon Pavilion, Shrek decided to establish three soul guide corps. Like the Sun-Moon Empire, if a soul guide corps consists of 500 people, then equipping three soul guide corps would require 1,500 people. Shrek Academy had no shortage of people, but what they lacked was soul guide equipment.

However, even though their cultivation and numbers are not inferior to those of the Sun-Moon Empire's Protectorate, they still have a long way to go if they want to catch up with the Sun-Moon Empire's Protectorate in terms of combat effectiveness.

The strength of the Soul Guide Corps of the Sun-Moon Empire lies in the fact that their soul guide technology is ahead of the entire continent. Soul guide positions and soul guide combinations are things that Shrek Academy does not currently possess.

Why did the Sun Moon Empire Soul Master Corps suffer so few casualties during the battle? Hundreds of soul masters used their combined soul guides, and the defenses they set up alone were so great that even the Super Douluo was helpless!
Shrek Academy is going to establish three soul mentor teams at once. In Zhang Lexuan's opinion, it is a bit hasty, but there is no other solution. Now they, Shrek Academy, must actively prepare for war and be ready to face the army of the Sun Moon Empire at any time.

However, Shrek Academy also has a huge advantage that the Sun-Moon Empire does not have, and that is the first soul guide corps they formed. It has only two hundred people and is the best-equipped of the three soul guide corps. They are equipped with top-level soul guides from the military warehouse of the Sun-Moon Empire, and all members have cultivation levels above Soul Emperor. The team leader is the dean of the Soul Guide Department, Xian Lin'er, and the deputy team leader is the deputy dean, Qian Duoduo. At the same time, eight Titled Douluo have joined this soul guide corps.
