Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

When Meteor returned to the main camp, Nana, the messenger, walked in briskly, holding a soul-guided communicator.

"Commander, it's a message from the Marshal." Nana stood tall and straight, her face serious. In the army, she always maintained a professional attitude.

Even though she had a close relationship with Meteor, she never neglected her duties for personal reasons. From how she addressed him to her words and actions, she always demonstrated the rigor expected of a soldier.

"Okay, give it to me." Over this period of time, Meteor had already gotten used to Nana's transformation in the military.

This girl has always been serious about her work. Once she sets her mind on something, she will go all out. Because Meteor and his friends helped her family, she followed them wholeheartedly and worked tirelessly to help with all sorts of trivial matters.

Now serving as a messenger and dedicating herself to the military, she carries this dedication into every single detail.

Meteor took the soul-guided communicator, gently pressed the connection button, and a bright soul-guided screen was projected out.

On the screen, Orange, dressed in a crisp military uniform, is heroic and valiant, displaying the demeanor of a female warrior. Orange has now officially taken over most of the military power of the Sun Moon Empire, becoming the undisputed commander-in-chief of the three armies.

Among the five major national defense legions of the Sun Moon Empire, apart from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Legion directly under the emperor and the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Legion firmly controlled by the royal family, the Evil Lord, Terror Claw, and Fire Phoenix legions have completely fallen under Orange's control.

Not only that, Ju Zi also served as the leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group. Even the Fire Phoenix Douluo was willing to follow her orders, voluntarily stepping down to become the deputy leader. Of course, behind this was a series of complex weighing of interests and considerations.

It is no exaggeration to say that Orange's status in the Sun Moon Empire has now reached a level second only to the emperor.

"Marshal, judging from your appearance, are you about to begin?" When Meteor saw that Orange was dressed in a formal military uniform, he immediately became very alert, and a hint of seriousness involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

He knew in his heart that Ju Zi had his private contact information, but she deliberately contacted him through the army's soul guidance communication. Coupled with Ju Zi's solemn attire at the moment, things must be anything but ordinary.

Meteor, who has been closely monitoring the situation in Douluo Continent, keenly sensed that some major events were about to unfold.

Based on his assessment of the situation and the needs of the occasion, he abandoned his usual casualness and, instead of addressing Orange as "Senior Orange" as he usually did, respectfully called her "Marshal".

As expected, Orange's expression was cold and she said directly, "Commander Meteor, I have an important task to entrust to your Molten Knights. Half a month from now, I need you to lead the Molten Knights to cooperate with Commander Wang Yiheng of the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps to go to the Mingdou Mountains and besiege and kill the Grand Marshal of the Star Luo Empire - Duke White Tiger Dai Hao."

Upon hearing this, Meteor suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the orange on the Soul Guidance Screen.

Orange seemed to sense the doubt in Meteor's eyes, nodded slightly, and added with a solemn expression, "You guessed right, the war has officially begun!"

Upon hearing this, both Firefly and Nana trembled simultaneously. In an instant, the atmosphere in the tent seemed to be shrouded in an invisible gloom, becoming increasingly heavy. Soon, Meteor ended his communication with Orange. He had actually been mentally prepared for the outbreak of war.

On the ever-changing Douluo Continent, various forces are constantly vying for power, and the outbreak of war is almost an inevitable trend.

Before long, Gu Yuena, Xue Nu, and others, having received news of the meteor shower, rushed to the military camp.

"It's finally about to begin, but is the first target the Star Luo Empire?" Meng Hongchen frowned slightly, a look of doubt on her face.

After all, the Mingdou Mountains, the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, are strategically important and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Hundreds of thousands of elite troops from the Star Luo Empire are stationed there, and the renowned Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger is personally in charge.

Breaking through the defenses was no easy task, especially since the mission Orange had given the Molten Knights was not to launch a full-scale attack on the Mingdou Mountains, but to intercept and kill Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger amidst heavy encirclement. This was undoubtedly an extremely challenging mission.

"Gu Yue, do you know anything?" Meteor turned his gaze to Gu Yuena. He knew that given Gu Yuena's cooperative relationship with Ju Zi, she might know something about such military secrets.

Gu Yuena didn't hide anything and said frankly, "It's not exactly top-secret intelligence. By the time you set off, the relevant information will probably be delivered to you. This time, Ju Zi is using a feint attack. On the surface, he's launching a large-scale attack on the Mingdou Mountains, making it seem like he's aiming at the Xingluo Empire. But in reality, only a portion of the forces attacking the Xingluo Empire are there, and the goal is simply to take the Mingdou Mountains to contain the Xingluo Empire's military power. As for arranging for us to intercept and kill Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, I'm afraid there are some personal grudges involved."

"A feint? In other words, the real target isn't the Star Luo Empire, but the Heavenly Soul Empire." Ye Guyi blurted out in surprise.

"Who else could it be besides the Heavenly Soul Empire? It can't be the Douling Empire, can it? It doesn't border the Sun Moon Empire. To attack the Douling Empire, we would have to cross the territories of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire first." Meng Hongchen was equally surprised. She really hadn't expected that Ju Zi would have such a grand strategic plan, attacking both the Star Luo and Heavenly Soul Empires at the same time. Moreover, judging from her deployment, she seemed confident in conquering the Mingdou Mountains.

It should be noted that Duke Dai Hao, the White Tiger Duke who is stationed in the Mingdou Mountains, is one of the most outstanding generals in the Douluo Continent, and the hundreds of thousands of Northwest Army Group under his command is one of the strongest fighting forces in the Star Luo Empire.

However, Ju Zi was extremely bold, attempting to launch a strong attack on the Mingdou Mountains with a small army, and then lead the main force to launch a surprise attack on the Tianhun Empire. Such courage and boldness are truly astonishing.

"I see. First, they launched a fierce attack on the Mingdou Mountains to attract the attention of the entire continent, and then took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Tianhun Empire, trying to secure victory in one battle. Senior Orange is indeed full of confidence!" Meteor nodded slightly, understanding in her heart.

He understood that this plan, though seemingly simple and straightforward, was fraught with difficulties in its implementation, and the key to its success lay in the fact that the Sun Moon Empire itself must possess sufficiently strong military power.

Otherwise, if they fight on two fronts, they may find themselves in a predicament where they cannot attend to both ends, dragging themselves into the quagmire of war.

If the Heavenly Soul Empire cannot be defeated swiftly and decisively, by the time the Fighting Spirit Empire and other forces react, the Sun Moon Empire will inevitably be subject to the combined constraints of various powers, ultimately plunging into a long and arduous tug-of-war. (End of Chapter)
