Douluo: The Peerless Eye of Heaven Yu Hao

Usually in the summer, the sky would get brighter much earlier, but today, perhaps because of the overcast sky, everything seemed gloomy.

The cool morning breeze blew from afar, the branches and leaves of the trees swayed in the wind, the rustling sound kept echoing, and occasionally a leaf would fly in the air, and no one knew where it would drift to.

The forest, which was already dim and filled with thick fog, became even more difficult to see through. It seemed as if there were countless pairs of eyes in the darkness, making people afraid to move forward.

“I don’t know how heavy the rain will be.”

"Damn it, training in the rain is not fun."

"By the way, have you written letters home?"

"I've already done it. The war is about to start and I may die at any time. It would be good to be able to talk to my family about what's in my heart."

"Hey, you are always thinking bad things. Don't forget that our Lord White Tiger Duke is the military god of the empire. When the war breaks out, maybe you can make military achievements and go home to marry two more wives. Tsk, that's how comfortable life is."

"Forget it, with your body, even one can drain you dry, let alone two."

"Bullshit, my body can handle three of them at once."

"Ah, yes, yes!"

"Hahaha."

In the Mingdou Mountains, in the three garrisons of the Northwest Army of the Xingluo Empire, the soldiers had already woken up and were carefully checking their weapons and equipment.

In fact, under normal circumstances, weapons are kept in the armory and are only handed over to soldiers during daily training. However, when facing a powerful enemy, the rules have to be changed.

Looking at the gloomy and depressing sky that seemed like layers of black clouds squeezed together, soldiers would discuss from time to time. For them, the most annoying thing during training was rain.

"Om."

When the time came, the passionate sound of the soul guide loudspeaker rang out in the huge military camp, urging the soldiers to assemble.

Apart from anything else, Dai Hao is indeed good at preparing the army's quality. When the soldiers heard the sound, they rushed to the assembly place in an orderly manner, and no one dragged his feet.

Gathering and roll call, training and exercises, going to the toilet with the badge in hand, and waiting for breakfast, this is generally the process.

As time gradually moved towards six o'clock, Dai Hao, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army Group, was preparing to return to the front line, surrounded by a group of hundreds of White Tiger Guards.

He withdrew four legions in succession and returned to Yuming City. There were tens of thousands of people there, and there were some things he had to be present for.

But just when they were leaving the city gate, something strange happened.

In the sky in the direction of the Mingdou Mountains in the distance, three extremely dazzling lights suddenly flashed. The light group was semicircular and slowly spread outward. The strong light was extremely dazzling.

Almost instantly, several cities, led by Yuming City, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, hundreds of White Tiger Guards, and Dai Hao, all looked up at the location of the light.

Against the backdrop of the dim sky, the light began to be as dazzling as the sun. The soldiers who were not soul masters subconsciously looked away, not daring to look directly at it.

Dai Hao, who had just put on his flying soul guide and was standing at the front, suddenly felt uneasy.

As if confirming his uneasiness, the next moment, the sky above the Mingdou Mountains suddenly twisted, and the earth seemed to be hammered hard, bursting out with a startling tremor. The entire Yuming City was shaking slightly, and countless ordinary soldiers almost fell down from their standing positions. The reserve recruits with weaker physiques even fell to the ground.

The tremor was not enough, and it was followed by a series of dull roars like thunder.

The sound rushed into the ears and made people dizzy.

"Could it be?"

Dai Hao's pupils contracted violently. He remembered the imperial edict sent by Xu Jiawei, which said that the Sun-Moon Empire would most likely use three level-9 fixed-type soul-guided artillery shells to blow through the Mingdou Mountains.

He was unwilling to believe it at first. After all, humans are still humans. Even if the weapons they created were powerful, they would not be able to destroy the mountains. But now, he had no choice but to believe it.

After a brief shock, Dai Hao did not hesitate for a moment. With a serious face, he quickly took off with his guards and rushed to the front line. He wanted to determine the situation at the front line.

The defenders in Yuming City and surrounding cities quickly took action under the repeated warning whistles.

They did not panic, on the contrary, they were well prepared to face any unexpected events.

But the lower-level soldiers were obviously still a little confused. The only thing they could be thankful for was that they had little experience, so they could not imagine what was happening on the front line.

...

Deep in the Mingdou Mountains, a group of people looked at the scene in the distance in shock.

They were the soul masters of the Star Luo Empire, led by Ice Wind Douluo.

When the bright light burst out just now, they almost immediately protected themselves. Fortunately, they were far away from the burst point and were not affected.

But by the time they reacted, the sky had gone dark. Large pieces of collapsed space debris fell down and then dissipated. The dark alien space was suspended in the air like a black hole, and it took dozens of seconds to return to normal.

And the originally rugged mountain range now had a huge gap.

The Mingdou Mountains are like a giant python crawling on the ground, with the tip of its tail cut off by someone.

"Your Majesty guessed right. Those bastards from the Sun-Moon Empire were so cruel that they blew through the Mingdou Mountains." Shattered Star Douluo couldn't help but curse.

"Not good." Suddenly, a Titled Douluo exuding an ice-attributed aura remembered something and hurriedly said to Ice Wind Douluo, "Palace Master, I remember that the Northwest Army stationed in the Mingdou Mountains has not all evacuated. The explosion happened to be in that direction. Isn't it possible..."

She hadn't finished her words, but the expressions of the nearly eighty Soul Douluos and a dozen Titled Douluos at the scene suddenly changed.

After receiving the imperial edict, Duke Baihu did as he was told, but he said that it would take time to withdraw the stationed legions, resulting in several legions remaining in the garrison.

How many people can survive such a horrific attack?

It's a pity that your Majesty's plan failed.

Ice Wind Douluo said in a serious tone: "Follow me to the gap to stop the people. Remember, our target is soul masters. Kill as many of them as possible to delay time. The Northwest Army will have its own people to prepare. After the operation begins, unless I give the order, you will not be allowed to evacuate."

"Yes, sir." Everyone responded in unison.

Shhhhhh.

Soon, hundreds of people took quick action. They did not fly directly in the air, but shuttled through the mountains and forests to avoid being captured by high-altitude soul guide detectors.

In fact, since they entered the Mingdou Mountains, they have already dealt with two batches of nearly fifty soul guide advance teams from the Sun-Moon Empire. These people are at least level five soul guides, and the strongest among them is even level eight soul guide.

These soul masters originally wanted to ambush in advance, because they knew where they were going to blow up. After the mountain range was blown through, they would seize the opportunity to rush out and kill their way through the chaotic military camp of the Star Luo Empire. In this way, they could wait for the large force to arrive and wipe out all the Star Luo Empire defenders stationed in the Mingdou Mountains in one fell swoop. However, they were unlucky and ran into the guns of Bingfeng Douluo and others.

Since everyone was dead, no one reported the mission completion to the base, which made Orange and the others fearful.

This is why the Sun and Moon armies moved out in groups after the shells exploded, which was completely different from the original time and space.

...

On the side of the Sun-Moon Empire, an advance team consisting of dozens of all-terrain detection soul guides and three fully armed soul guide groups quickly penetrated into the huge gap in the mountains ahead.

Two of the soul guide teams were responsible for the main attack, while one was responsible for occupying the major strategic locations in the Mingdou Mountains. This was to serve as a buffer in case the offensive came to a standstill.

After all, the Xingluo Empire is the strongest of the three kingdoms in the original Douluo Continent. It is not so easy to destroy them quickly.

As for the ordinary legions, they followed slowly and could not help much in the early stage of the war. Half of them followed the main attack, and the other half followed to occupy the original fortress of the Northwest Army.

In the sky, the high-altitude soul guide detector was operating, transmitting barely standard-definition images back to the intelligence headquarters in a timely manner. The powerful figure in charge was none other than the deputy head of the Fire Phoenix Soul Guide Corps, Fire Phoenix Douluo.

Unlike the original time and space, when the Sun-Moon Empire occupied the Mingdou Mountains and then kept its troops in place, set traps, and turned to attack the Tianhun Empire, in this life, in order to save time, their goal is to use a blitzkrieg to destroy the military forces of the Xingluo Empire as quickly as possible, and then take root in the northwest.

Halfway up the mountain, there was a large group of people in black robes scattered around, collectively watching the actions of the Sun-Moon Empire's army.

The leader crossed his arms over his chest and said coldly, "Everyone, move."

Shhhhhh.

The black-robed man's sleeves moved without wind, and each of them displayed strange abilities, quickly disappearing halfway up the mountain. "Under the bombardment of three level nine fixed-type soul-guided shells, the souls of those people in the Northwest Army of the Xingluo Empire will probably be destroyed. So much food has been wasted." Zhongli Wu's eyes, buried in his cloak, revealed a look of pity.

Beside him, Feng Ling smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. Xu Tianran promised us that as long as Dai Hao is killed, he will agree to cooperate with us in massacring the city. I remember that there are 700,000 to 800,000 ordinary people in Yuming City. This is much more than the food that the Northwest Army has."

Zhongli Wu glanced at her and said, "Do you really think that what Xu Tianran said about the massacre of the city is true?"

Feng Ling's smile faded and she looked towards Zhongli Wu.

Zhongli Wu said calmly: "If you don't massacre the city, they will surrender when they can't hold on any longer. But if you massacre the city and don't give the Xingluo Empire a way out, they will fight you to the death, and every step after that will be as difficult as climbing to heaven."

Feng Ling frowned.

"gone."

Zhongli Wu's figure flashed, and a dark red stream of light rushed into the distance.

Feng Ling glanced sharply in the direction of the Sun-Moon Empire's Star-Zhen City, snorted coldly, and followed immediately.

If you regret it by then, I will massacre the cities of your Sun-Moon Empire.

...

As they flew in the air, the closer they got to the front line, the heavier Dai Hao's expression became. On the official road, he saw many wounded soldiers being helped back to Yuming City.

Although they were elite soldiers who had experienced countless bloody battles, they all had an indelible look of fear on their faces.

Extremely anxious, Dai Hao used the fastest speed in his life to reach the front line, but as soon as he arrived, he and his White Tiger guards were shocked.

The Mingdou Mountain Range, which had stood for who knows how many years, now had a huge gap, as if it had been cut in half.

"Sir, we have received the message and location from Army Commander Bao Dingping." A White Tiger guard flew over.

Dai Hao's eyes moved: "Lead the way."

In less than three minutes, Dai Hao met Bao Dingping, the commander of the First Corps of the Northwest Army Group, in a relatively intact forest.

In this forest, there are thousands of fully armed soldiers. They are in good order, and it is obvious that someone has prepared them well.

"Marshal." Seeing Dai Hao, Bao Dingping walked up with bloodshot eyes.

Dai Hao looked heavy-hearted: "What's the situation?"

Under the gaze of the people around him, Bao Dingping said in great pain: "The second and third legions were completely wiped out, and no one survived."

Suffocating. When Bao Dingping's voice spread, the forest fell into dead silence.

These two legions were stationed in the core defense zone, and were the only garrison that was directly hit by the ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided artillery shells.

The two legions had more than 40,000 people, which means that 40,000 of them died in battle at one time.

Dai Hao felt weak all over and took a few steps back. His chest heaved and a feeling of regret welled up in his heart. If he had withdrawn earlier, would this situation not have happened?

But his years of experience in leading troops made him calm down quickly. Now the situation was chaotic, and he, as the commander, had to stand up. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, a violent roar came from the Mingdou Mountains in the distance, as if it was some kind of fighting sound.

The roar instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The soldiers gathered in the mountains and forests quickly took up their weapons.

"Qiang!"

The forest was dense and the specific appearance of the Mingdou Mountains could not be seen, but the loud and clear cry of a phoenix fell into everyone's ears. With her soul power cultivation level of up to level 98, the sound was enough to be heard dozens of miles away.

"It's Your Majesty Bingfeng." Dai Hao's tense face relaxed a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Dingping, you will immediately take the remaining soldiers of the First Legion back to Yuming City, recruit the surviving soldiers along the way, and give them immediate treatment. At the same time, pass on my order to immediately send a request for help to the Western Army Group and the Imperial Capital."

"Aren't we going to help His Majesty Bingfeng?" Bao Dingping asked anxiously.

Dai Hao said solemnly: "Going there would be suicide. His Majesty the Ice Wind must have wanted us to evacuate and regroup."

Bao Dingping's face froze. Yes, he might be able to participate in the battle between these strong men, but it is absolutely impossible for the soldiers to go. They would just be giving away their heads.

Now that the two major legions have been destroyed, the Northwest Army has been severely damaged. What it should do is to reorganize its armaments. Fortunately, a new line of defense has been established around the cities headed by Yuming City.

And there is absolutely no high-altitude soul guide detector hanging above your head.

At this time, a White Tiger guard in charge of communications stepped forward and said something.

Although Dai Hao's expression was still solemn, it was better than when he heard that the Second and Third Legions had been destroyed.

Most of the White Tiger Guards, totaling 1,800 people, survived, as did the 1,000 soul masters of the Star Luo First Soul Master Regiment.

It is definitely a blessing in disguise.

In the Mingdou Mountains, the battle became increasingly intense, and the remnants of the Northwest Army originally stationed there all successfully retreated to the second line of defense.

Dai Hao immediately wrote a letter of apology to Xu Jiawei, requesting support, and also stated that he would defend the second line of defense headed by Yuming City.

The intelligence from the front line was quickly sent to Xingluo City, but that’s a story for another time.

……

"Ice Wind? You're not dead yet?"

Zhongli Wu looked at the old woman in the distance with an indifferent expression. He waved the blood-red sickle, leaving fragmented light patterns wherever it passed.

"You are not dead, how can I die?" Ice Wind Douluo responded with a faint smile. With a wave of his hand, thousands of sharp round ice blades condensed and hit the blood-red sickle like a whirlwind.

The biting cold froze the space, and ice snowflakes fell. Each snowflake was stained with a soft blood-red light, and it looked as if there were countless strange mirrors in the sky.

The head-on collision between the two level 98 Super Douluo caused the eruption of soul power fluctuations to sweep across the Mingdou Mountains, causing strong winds to howl and the mountains to tremble. The dark clouds in the sky were torn apart, and beams of sunlight fell from the cracks, appearing bright and dazzling.

And below, the soul masters from the Xing Luo Empire had already clashed with the powerful evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church.

Soul rings lit up everywhere, and the roar of soul skills exploded.

In the military camp, Ju Zi stood next to Fire Phoenix Douluo and said with a faint smile: "As I expected, the Xing Luo Empire has already ambushed strong men in the Ming Dou Mountains."

Fire Phoenix Douluo said in a deep voice: "But the Xingluo Empire has many strong men. I am afraid that the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church will not be able to defeat them. Our speed of advancement will most likely be reduced. By the time we pass through the mountains, we will most likely lose the opportunity to take the lead."

In fact, the Sun and Moon Army had already stopped in the gap of the Mingdou Mountains. Countless soldiers looked at the sky or the soul masters fighting in the mountains, keeping a wait-and-see attitude.

The soul masters, led by Starry Sky Douluo, did not take any action and just watched.

Looking at the fierce battle scene transmitted back, Juzi's eyes revealed a strange smile: "The role of the Holy Spirit Church is to help us find out if there are any powerful soul masters ambushing in the mountains."

"The Star Luo Empire's soul masters know they have been exposed, and the Holy Spirit Church is unlikely to be willing to act as thugs. The two sides will soon disperse."

"Then, we will be able to advance safely, occupy the Mingdou Mountains and take root, and then intermittently launch attacks on Yuming City and surrounding cities, increasing the intensity of the attacks every once in a while."

"Why is this?" Fire Phoenix Douluo was surprised. This was completely contrary to the blitzkrieg style of warfare.

You know, the supplies placed in Zhenxing City are said to be enough to fight for two months, but the actual consumption of the war will definitely reduce this number.

Juzi's lips moved slightly, and he transmitted his voice, "Because my goal has never been Yuming City or Mingdou Mountain Range. Everything I'm doing now is just to confuse people. My real goal is to take a detour and launch a surprise attack. Calculating the time, the other three Beast King-level Soul Instructor Groups have already taken a detour from the sea and entered the southern border of the Xingluo Empire to lie dormant. When we are fighting fiercely here, they will immediately go north to attack Xingluo City and go straight to Huanglong!"

Fire Phoenix Douluo's pupils shrank, and an indescribable look of shock appeared on his face.

Ju Zi's eyes were gloomy, and she transmitted the message: "The Holy Spirit Church wants dead people to strengthen its own strength, so it must contribute to this war. But I won't give them dead people. I will only use them as thugs to hold back the powerful soul masters of the Star Luo Empire and the people who will come to support the Star Luo Empire later."

"Everyone has come here, so Xingluo City will be empty, right?"

Fire Phoenix Douluo stared at Orange for a long time without saying anything. (End of this chapter)
