Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

"It seems there are still some clever people in the Star Luo Empire who may have noticed our deployment. However, this is just a small accident and will not have a significant impact on the overall situation."

Meteor paused for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing across her face, but she quickly regained her composure and gently shook her head.

In his view, even if someone in the Star Luo Empire noticed something, so what? It's obviously too late to react now.

After all, the reinforcements from the Douling Empire and the Tianhun Empire have already been successfully drawn here, and even if they wanted to return to the Tianhun Empire, it would be too late.

"Go and summon the Knights to prepare for battle. It's time for them to show their skills on the battlefield." Meteor turned to Nana, the messenger waiting beside him, and gave the order in a calm tone.

Upon receiving the order, Nana quickly took her leave. Meanwhile, the members of the Molten Knights, who had been idle in the military camp, such as Ma Rulong and Feng Xiaotian, were all excited and eager to fight the moment they received the summons.

After all, they hadn't had a chance to fight since the last battle to hunt down Duke White Tiger, and they were already eager to show their skills on the battlefield.

"Boom—!" As the first soul-guided cannonball exploded on the battlefield, the deafening sound shattered the recent calm, and the battle between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire once again raged fiercely.

Meteor led the Molten Knights into their mechs, which quickly took to the skies. They transformed into hundreds of dazzling streaks of light, hurtling towards the smoke-filled, war-torn battlefield with overwhelming momentum.

This time, the Star Luo Empire mobilized its entire force, deploying a total of 500,000 troops and dispatching eight Soul Master Legions, totaling nearly 10,000 Soul Masters, to launch a fierce attack on the Mingdou Mountain Range defense line with a clear objective.

It's obvious that they must have discovered some crucial information; otherwise, given their previous cautious approach, they wouldn't have dared to launch a counterattack so rashly. They would probably have just stayed within their own defensive lines and wouldn't have had the courage to do so.

Indeed, this was the case. After losing Duke White Tiger as its core leader, the Star Luo Empire's keen insight and judgment on the battlefield were far less than before.

Princess Xu Jiujiu lacked practical combat experience and had a conservative style of doing things. She always took a steady and cautious approach and would not easily take the initiative to attack.

However, Huo Yuhao's appearance changed everything. As an inner disciple of Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao was not only exceptionally talented but also the closed-door disciple of Dragon God Douluo. He was very likely to become one of the successors of the Sea God Pavilion in the future. His words carried great weight and were worthy of everyone's trust.

He returned with a portion of the remnants of the White Tiger Army and detailed the important information he had discovered to Xu Jiujiu and Xuanji Douluo. It was this opportunity that propelled the Star Luo Empire's counter-offensive.

Huo Yuhao is a powerful spirit-type soul master and an excellent soul master, possessing extraordinary keen perception and exploration abilities.

By chance, he unexpectedly discovered a large number of ultra-high-altitude detection soul guides deployed by the Sun Moon Empire in various locations.

With his strong mental strength, ability to hide and disguise, and extraordinary courage, he quietly infiltrated the Mingdou defense line.

This in-depth investigation shocked him to discover that the large force that the Sun Moon Empire had deployed on the Mingdou defense line had quietly withdrawn.

This illogical phenomenon led the quick-thinking Huo Yuhao to deduce that the Sun Moon Empire's ultimate goal had never been the Star Luo Empire. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Huo Yuhao didn't dare delay and immediately sought out Xu Jiujiu and the others with this crucial information.

However, for a rookie like him, meeting such an important figure as Xu Jiujiu would have been extremely difficult.

However, the situation was urgent, and in order to prevent it from getting worse, he had no choice but to reveal his identity as a member of Shrek Academy.

With the reputation and prestige of Shrek Academy, the testimony of the survivors of the White Tiger Army, and the help of his former teammate Dai Yueheng, Huo Yuhao finally gained the trust of Xu Jiujiu and the others.

After gaining everyone's trust, Huo Yuhao proposed to directly send troops to attack the Mingdou Mountains, with the aim of relieving the pressure currently facing the Tianhun Empire.

Although there has been no news from the Heavenly Soul Empire so far, based on various signs and clues, they are convinced that the Sun Moon Empire's true target is the Heavenly Soul Empire.

When the Star Luo Empire's army finished assembling and marched all the way to the Mingdou Mountains, they were not met by the Sun Moon Empire's well-prepared army, but by a frenzied interception of various powerful soul tools. This scene undoubtedly further confirmed their previous guesses.

The defenses of the Mingdou Mountains were nothing more than a carefully orchestrated deception by the Sun Moon Empire, a mere facade to deceive the Star Luo Empire.

When the Star Luo Empire's army entered the Mingdou Mountains, they were shocked to find that the place was already deserted, with only a few elite troops remaining to guard it with their soul tools.

Upon learning of this situation, Xu Jiujiu felt a strong sense of lingering fear. If the Star Luo Empire had remained in the dark and allowed the Sun Moon Empire's conspiracy to succeed, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Immediately afterwards, an uncontrollable rage burned fiercely in her heart. The Sun Moon Empire was so wantonly toying with them, using only a small force to firmly suppress the Star Luo Empire's army on the northwest defense line, making it unable to move, and even using the Star Luo Empire to attract reinforcements from the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire.

This series of actions undoubtedly treated the Star Luo Empire like a chess piece on a chessboard, manipulating it at will.

How could this not make Xu Jiujiu, the princess of the Star Luo Empire, angry and resentful?

If the Sun Moon Empire were to successfully deceive everyone, the Star Luo Empire would become a laughingstock throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

At that time, not only will the Heavenly Soul Empire suffer heavy losses without any warning, but the Star Luo Empire itself will also inevitably fall into an extremely difficult situation.

Thinking of all this, Xu Jiujiu gritted his teeth, made a fierce vow in his heart, and secretly vowed to break through the defense line of the Mingdou Mountains and invade the territory of the Sun Moon Empire at all costs.

She wanted to use this opportunity to vent her pent-up anger, and more importantly, to disrupt the Sun Moon Empire's meticulously planned military strategy, thus buying precious time and space for the Heavenly Soul Empire, which was mired in crisis.

She had already sent someone to inform the Heavenly Soul Empire, but it was probably too late. After all, the reinforcements from the two great empires had already arrived in the Star Luo Empire, and the main force of the Sun Moon Empire had disappeared into the Ming Dou Mountains.
