Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

After Wang Yiheng left, the atmosphere at the scene gradually relaxed a bit.

Meteor switched to a more intimate form of address and earnestly reminded her, "Senior Orange, while the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells are indeed incredibly powerful, their loading and firing processes are quite cumbersome and take a considerable amount of time. Moreover, their position is easily exposed during operation. Wouldn't that make them easily detectable by the Star Luo Empire?"

Meteor had a deep understanding of this, after all, he had personally witnessed the entire process of Luan Yu launching a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, and knew how difficult it was to actually launch such a weapon that could be called a battlefield weapon.

Not to mention the long time required for installation and debugging, the sheer size of the Level 9 fixed-position soul guide launcher is extremely eye-catching.

Even if they are dozens of kilometers apart, it is highly likely that the well-trained spies of the Star Luo Empire will discover any clues.

Once their whereabouts are exposed, the Sun Moon Empire's meticulously planned surprise attack, intended to catch the Star Luo Empire off guard, will likely become difficult to achieve.

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi smiled confidently and calmly explained, "You don't need to worry about that. I have made thorough arrangements. For this expedition, I specially brought the Empire's latest ultra-high-altitude detection soul tools. These soul tools have been deployed at various key locations in the Mingdou Mountains. As long as the Star Luo Empire's spies dare to approach, they will be detected instantly. Then, we will immediately dispatch an elite team of soul masters to sweep them away and ensure the safety of the surrounding area. In this way, the Star Luo Empire will be like blind people under our close surveillance, completely unaware of our actions."

Upon hearing this, Meteor suddenly realized his mistake and couldn't help but secretly lament that he had almost overlooked this crucial factor.

In the field of soul-guided technology, the Sun Moon Empire, through its long-term accumulation and development, has been ahead of other empires for more than a century.

This enormous gap in technological strength gave the Sun Moon Empire an absolute advantage in military operations.

Other empires are often completely in the dark about the actions of the Sun Moon Empire, and it is very difficult for them to obtain valuable intelligence.

Upon closer examination, the Star Luo Empire is probably still completely unaware that the Sun Moon Empire has quietly amassed an army of over a million near the Mingdou Mountains, carrying a large number of advanced soul tools.

If the Star Luo Empire had known about the Sun Moon Empire's large-scale military deployment beforehand, it would certainly not be so unprepared as it is now, maintaining a facade of calm.

They probably never imagined that the Sun Moon Empire, which had suffered such a devastating disaster as the Mingdu Explosion, could recover so quickly and launch this long-planned war.

Ultimately, they severely underestimated the Sun and Moon Empire's powerful recovery capabilities and expansionist ambitions.

However, the overwhelming superiority in soul-guided technology was the most crucial factor in this war.

Whether it's troop deployment or intelligence gathering and transmission, with the help of various advanced soul tools, the Sun Moon Empire has the upper hand in every aspect, forming an absolute advantage over the Star Luo Empire that is almost a dimensional reduction attack.

Not to mention the upcoming long-range strikes of the Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannons. Once launched, the Star Luo Empire will deeply experience the profound despair brought about by the huge gap in soul-guided technology.

In fact, if other forces were to attempt to attack the Sun Moon Empire using long-range strikes, the Sun Moon Empire's leading soul guidance technology and advanced soul guidance detectors would certainly be able to detect it immediately and quickly prepare corresponding countermeasures.

However, looking at the Star Luo Empire, due to limitations in its soul-guided technology, it's unlikely they possess effective countermeasures. Within the entire Star Luo Empire's military force, perhaps only a handful of Title Douluos have the potential to intercept such a powerful attack as a Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannonball.

Take White Tiger City as an example. As a crucial military stronghold on the border of the Star Luo Empire, it is only occupied by the White Tiger Duke himself and two other titled Douluo.

Nevertheless, the fact that three Title Douluos were stationed here is enough to demonstrate the high importance the Star Luo Empire attaches to White Tiger City.

It should be noted that the total number of Title Douluos in the entire Star Luo Empire is only a dozen or so.

In the vast Star Luo Empire, being able to spare three Title Douluos to guard White Tiger City is already an extremely rare and extravagant configuration.

In today's warfare landscape, Title Douluo are like nuclear weapons that deter all sides, possessing decisive strategic significance.

For this reason, they usually don't take action unless absolutely necessary.

After all, titled Douluo are not only powerful, but also have extremely high mobility, enabling them to rush to the battlefield where support is needed in an instant.

This is why military strongholds like White Tiger City, guarded by three Title Douluo, are extremely rare, not only in the Star Luo Empire but also throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

In reality, only the capitals of major empires, with their irreplaceable importance, could possibly gather more than three Title Douluos to oversee the region.

Take Dragon City, a major city in the far north of the Heavenly Soul Empire, for example. This city occupies a pivotal position in the Heavenly Soul Empire. Even so, it was previously only guarded by one Title Douluo. Moreover, this Title Douluo was not entirely under the control of the Heavenly Soul Empire, but belonged to a sect.

Later, Nan Shuishui successfully advanced to the title of Douluo, and Dragon City finally had two titled Douluo in charge. Even so, such a configuration was extremely rare among cities in the entire Douluo Continent.

However, despite having three Title Douluos in charge of White Tiger City, it is unlikely that they can effectively stop the Sun Moon Empire's upcoming fierce attack.

Because Meteor had already learned from Orange that before he led the Molten Knights to arrive, Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin had already led several other level-nine soul masters to secretly begin setting up level-nine fixed-position soul guide launchers.

Judging from the timeline, this crucial preparation should be nearing completion. Such formidable firepower is not something that three titled Douluo can easily withstand.

After leaving the command tent, Meteor and Firefly went straight back to the military camp belonging to the Molten Knights. In the military organization of the Sun Moon Empire, each special legion has its own independent military camp, which is different from the ordinary army to highlight its uniqueness and importance.

The Molten Knights, as the only Soul Master legion in the Sun Moon Empire currently equipped with Soul Guidance Mechs, still enjoy special privileges even without any combat achievements. (End of Chapter)
