Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 484 War Reports and Reactions from Various Countries on the Continent
In order to withstand Ling Luochen's ice giant, Ye Yulin and the others even ordered the Soul Master Corps to use the linked defensive Soul Guidance Device.

However, once the defensive soul tool was activated, they were temporarily unable to continue their attack.

Before long, Dai Hao led his army away from the battlefield.

Ling Luochen sat on the Ice Throne and saw that Xingluo had already withdrawn and retrieved most of the giants. Although the giants she had summoned were powerful, they had also taken a great toll on her.

Moreover, they couldn't break through the defenses of the linked defensive soul tool at all. Once their soul power was exhausted, they would be completely destroyed by the Sun Moon Empire sooner or later, so she was too lazy to waste time.

Ling Luochen flashed and caught up with the retreating Star Luo army.

Without her control, the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Corps blasted the remaining giants to pieces in less than a quarter of an hour, but the Star Luo Army had already retreated completely, and they couldn't catch up even if they wanted to.

"Damn it!" Ye Yulin roared in fury. The cooked duck had actually flown away like that.

He knew Ling Luochen; she was Yuwen Tuo's nominal sworn sister, but in reality, his elder sister. She had disappeared with Yuwen Tuo for two and a half years, and today she had emerged from seclusion with such formidable strength.

In a one-on-one fight, he was probably no match for this girl.

If she's already this strong, what about Yuwen Tuo? How far has he grown? Where is he now? Will he suddenly appear?
Ye Yulin suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body. If Yuwen Tuo suddenly appeared, the favorable situation on this battlefield might collapse instantly.

The Star Luo Legion retreated overnight before successfully returning to Yuming City.

It was already early morning, and the bright sunshine seemed to foreshadow a good day.

Unfortunately, even though the sky is clear today, the hearts of the people of the Star Luo Empire are shrouded in gloom.

The devastating news of the frontline defeat, the fall of the Western Frontier, and the Sun Moon Empire's occupation of the Mingdou Mountains has spread rapidly throughout the continent through various channels.

The Star Luo Empire's royal family was shocked, furious, and terrified. On one hand, they mobilized troops to the front lines for support, and on the other hand, they sent envoys to the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire for help.

None of the three great empires had anticipated that the Sun Moon Empire would launch such a sudden and overwhelming attack. After being crippled by Yuwen Tuo and lying dormant for two and a half years, their national strength had recovered remarkably quickly. The Sun Moon Empire was far more powerful than they had imagined. The impact of soul tools on the war had also far exceeded their expectations.

The two great empires of Tianhun and Douling would naturally not remain indifferent.

After all, the fate of the lips and teeth is interdependent. Douling is alright, as their territory does not border the Sun Moon Empire. Even if the Sun Moon Empire wanted to destroy them, they would have to first establish connections with Xingluo and Tianhun.

The Heavenly Soul Empire was even more anxious, as they understood very well that after Star Luo, it would be their turn.

Emperor Xuexin was very "anxious" and immediately dispatched an outstanding marshal, a graduate of Shrek Academy, to assist the eldest prince in leading the army to help the Star Luo Empire defeat the enemy.

Currently, military power in the Heavenly Soul Empire mainly rests in three places: firstly, the Eastern Army Group of the Jiang family, which is fully under the command of the royal family.

The other is the Western Army Group of the current Crown Prince Xue Mo. This prince is a pro-Shrek faction member and is the one who sent the Crimson Dragon Douluo to assassinate Yuwen Tuo back then.

After Yuwen Tuo destroyed Shrek Academy, he took the opportunity to attack him and refute Yuwen Tuo in the imperial court.

Yuwen Tuo was wanted by the empire, and he deserved credit for it. He also took the initiative to contact the Shrek faction in the court and expel Princess Vina, who was close to Yuwen Tuo.

The pro-Shrek faction members who were promoted also supported him to become the crown prince, including the marshal of the Western Legion. It can be said that his political power, military power, and soul master power are now stronger than ever before, and his prestige in the court is no less than that of his father, the emperor.

If he helps Xingluo defeat the Sun Moon Empire again this time, his prestige will be greatly enhanced. At that time, Emperor Xuexin will have no choice but to make him the crown prince.

This silly kid has no idea that he's being completely manipulated by Shrek.

Yan Shaozhe supported him, seemingly to gain control of the Heavenly Soul Court and prepare for the future reconstruction of the academy.

On the other hand, they are secretly colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult, which supports the Sun and Moon Empire.

This guy is betting on two things: first, he wants to concentrate all the forces that hate Yuwen Tuo to deal with him; second, he wants to make Shrek Academy invincible.

Even if the Sun Moon Empire is defeated later, so what?

As you can see, even someone like Yuwen Tuo, after forcefully destroying Shrek Academy, was not tolerated by the continent, was wanted by the empire, and was forced to live in hiding.

The courts of the three great empires are filled with Shrek Academy people. In this world, apart from that madman Yuwen Tuo, no one really dares to defy the world and destroy Shrek Academy.

The intervention of the two great empires to aid Xingluo has slightly improved Xingluo's situation.

The Sun Moon Empire's army has already set up camp in the Mingdou Mountains. They have opened a breach and can enter the Star Luo Empire's territory at any time, but they are not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they quickly occupy several border fortresses that originally belonged to the Star Luo Empire's Northwest Army to consolidate their victory.

Everyone understands that the Sun Moon Empire will never stop while it's ahead; this silence is only temporary, and their advance will not end here.

After returning, Dai Hao did not rush to rest, but immediately began to tally up the army's losses.

The situation is extremely dire. The Northwest Army Group suffered over 70,000 direct casualties from the soul-guided weapons. More than 20,000 were wounded or disabled, and over 10,000 were missing.

It can be said that Xingluo lost nearly 100,000 troops in yesterday's battle.

Dai Hao's eyes turned bloodshot instantly; those were his brothers who had been stationed with him in the western frontier for many years.

The Sun Moon Empire actually used a level nine soul-guided cannon to bombard ordinary soldiers. I really don't know whether to call them cruel or extravagant.

What's strange is that for the next seven days, the Sun Moon Empire remained silent. This time, without Huo Yuhao, it seems that no one was able to discover the Sun Moon Empire's conspiracy.

The Sun Moon Empire sealed off the Mingdou Mountains and deployed various detection soul tools in the sky, so that Xingluo's spies could not find any inside information.

Yuwen Tuo rested his chin on his hand and said helplessly, "Can that idiot Dai Hao really be considered a great general? The Sun Moon Empire halted its attack as soon as it broke through the first line of defense. It's obvious that they had ulterior motives."

Although he had already taken precautions on his own side, and Senior Sister Vina should be ready to take her place, he did not want the Sun Moon Empire's plan to proceed so smoothly.

“Sister Luo Chen, could you please make another trip to Yu Ming City? You saved Dai Hao and the others before, so they should give you some face. Besides, the reinforcements from the nearby Dou Ling Empire should have arrived by now,” Yuwen Tuo said.

Ling Luochen nodded, "Okay, don't worry, Xiao Tuo, leave it to me."
