Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Meteor himself didn't have much practical experience, and his knowledge of military strategy was only superficial; he was a jack of all trades and master of none.

All he needed to do was complete the task assigned by Orange and capture Duke White Tiger. This was the mission of the Molten Knights. Therefore, they sped north without hesitation. Other strategic considerations were not within the scope of their mission.

Hundreds of dazzling streaks of fire, like shooting stars, streaked across the sky, carrying high morale as they surged straight northward.

Having been tempered by the battlefield, these Molten Knights are undoubtedly more confident and their aura is even stronger.

Along the way, one could see the corpses of soldiers lying everywhere, as well as a large number of fragments of soul tools scattered in various places.

These horrific scenes silently tell the story of how this thrilling pursuit had already begun, with the Sun Moon Empire and the White Tiger Army having engaged in numerous fierce battles.

Besides the loyal White Tiger Army, Duke White Tiger also has a Soul Master legion of about a thousand men.

This Soul Master Legion is personally led by a Title Douluo, and its strength should not be underestimated. Its overall combat power is not much inferior to that of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Legion.

However, this time they were pursued by the infamous Evil Lord Soul Master Corps and Terror Claw Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire.

Both of these Beast King-level Soul Master Corps are equipped with the most advanced Soul Guidance Devices developed by the Sun Moon Empire at great expense.

These soul tools endowed them with formidable combat power, making them far superior to other ordinary soul master corps, and they were also not something that the Star Luo Empire's soul master legions could easily contend with.

During the pursuit, Meteor saw many corpses of the two Soul Master Corps members, but compared to them, the number of Soul Master corpses from the Star Luo Empire was much greater.

It is clear from the brutal battlefield situation that the Sun Moon Empire had a significant advantage in this fierce pursuit.

Before long, Meteor saw the shining light of soul power in the distance. Looking up, he saw a group of soul masters wearing flying soul tools in the sky. They were radiating blue and dark gold light. They were the two soul master groups, Evil Monarch and Terror Claw.

The two Beast King-level Soul Master Corps quickly formed a tight formation, completely protected by a blue and dark gold Soul Guidance Shield that emitted Soul Power light.

Protected by the soul-guided shield, they looked down and unleashed a barrage of firepower on the enemy below.

With their aerial advantage and robust defenses, they can easily take the initiative in battle and suppress their opponents by simply launching their soul tools.

On this battlefield, the number of corpses of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Masters was pitifully small; only a dozen or so extremely unlucky souls perished in this fierce battle.

Meanwhile, the vast majority of other Soul Masters were steadily delivering their firepower under the comprehensive protection of the Soul Guidance Formation.

They manipulated advanced soul tools, unleashing deadly soul beams like raindrops upon the enemies below.

In contrast, the Star Luo Empire's Soul Master Legion and White Tiger Army were in a much more dire situation.

Faced with the soul-guided rays raining down from the sky like a storm, they were completely caught in a desperate struggle. The slightest misstep would result in the scorching and powerful soul-guided rays mercilessly piercing their bodies, leaving them instantly lying in pools of blood.

On the battlefield, the sounds of explosions rose and fell incessantly, and the Soul Master Legion's firepower suppression never ceased for a moment. This relentless and fierce attack vividly demonstrated the enormous power gap brought about by Soul Master technology.

If it were a one-on-one duel, many of the Star Luo Empire's Soul Masters present would be confident that they could defeat the Soul Master in the sky.

However, in the brutal environment of legion warfare, the situation is quite different. The indestructible, tortoise-shell-like soul guide shield firmly protects the soul masters inside.

Faced with this layer of protection, the Soul Masters of the Star Luo Empire were filled with resentment, but they were truly powerless to do anything about it.

On the Star Luo Empire's side, those who can fly into the sky and confront the enemy head-on are mostly Soul Saint level experts.

However, if they were to take off rashly, they would immediately become sitting ducks for the enemy's Soul Masters. Under the intense firepower, they would be powerless to fight back and would only be sacrificed in vain.

In fact, the Star Luo Empire did have flying soul tools, but their flying soul tools were far inferior to those of the Sun Moon Empire. Whether it was the stability during flight or the speed of flight, they were far inferior to their counterparts.

On the ground, there are at least some shelters for the soldiers to temporarily avoid attacks, but if they rashly fly into the sky, they will soon be surrounded and attacked by the soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire, and be riddled with holes in an instant.

The corpses of those Soul Saint experts on the ground are the best example of this cruel reality. They were filled with rage when they activated their Martial Soul True Body and tried to fly directly into the air to attack the Soul Master Legion. However, they did not expect to be met with overwhelming firepower and ultimately died tragically.

At this moment, even powerful figures like Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan and Xuanji Douluo dared not easily take to the air.

They knew very well that once exposed to the sky, they would be met with a terrifying barrage of firepower from the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Legion.

Moreover, among the Soul Master Corps in the air, there was more than one extremely powerful Level 9 Soul Master. Faced with such overwhelming power, they dared not make any rash moves.

Left with no other choice, they could only lead their troops to struggle on the ground, carefully dodging the soul-guided rays that swarmed like locusts while slowly retreating. In the process of fighting and retreating, everyone felt extremely frustrated.

Many hot-tempered soldiers could no longer tolerate this passive and defensive situation and were eager to rush out and fight back.

But their resistance was ultimately just a display of courage; faced with the overwhelming firepower of the Sun and Moon Empire, they were quickly engulfed by the raging flames and vanished without a trace.

Left with no other choice, Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan had to order his soldiers to move as close as possible to the Soul Masters.

He hoped that the Soul Masters would activate their Soul Guidance Shields to provide everyone with a final protection, even if it only bought them a little more time to retreat, so that the sacrifice of these soldiers would be worthwhile.

Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Kingdom knew very well that, given the current situation, he would likely find it difficult to break through the encirclement today, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Faced with the Sun Moon Empire's formidable and powerful forces, barring a miracle or a sudden, unexpected attack, their army would most likely face total annihilation. (End of Chapter)
