Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 783 The War Begins

Even so, seeing the three mushroom clouds that blasted open the Mingdou Mountains, Dai Hao's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, his collar drenched, his face filled with complex emotions and lingering fear.

Once his whereabouts are known to the Sun Moon Empire, these level-nine fixed-position shells will absolutely obliterate him and his White Tiger Guards!

The attack by the Sun and Moon Empire came without warning.

Three consecutive level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells blasted a huge gap in a relatively weak part of the Mingdou Mountains.

With the combined attack of four ordinary Soul Master Corps and the Four Guardians of the Nation, the Northwest Army Group of the Star Luo Empire was as fragile as paper.

The defensive position, which had been built over thousands of years, seemed powerful, but it was almost instantly swallowed up by the firepower of eight Soul Master Corps.

No one could fight back under the protection of the bunker; all the Star Luo soldiers hiding behind the bunker were sent to hell along with the bunker the next second.

The Sun Moon Empire used its high-end combat power to pave the way, making full use of the Soul Master Legion's flight capabilities, resulting in a one-sided massacre.

One of the level 9 fixed-position guided missiles landed precisely in the core area of ​​the Northwest Group Army.

That place used to be where elite troops were stationed.

If this shell were to hit its target, the explosion could take the lives of tens of thousands of people.

Fortunately, after the hostage mission ended, the Star Luo military, which had revealed the long-hidden soul-guided cannon and high-altitude detection soul-guided device, had already abandoned the area.

Previously, our every move was under the watchful eyes of others, which was a helpless measure. Now that they have the ability to restrain the Sun Moon Empire from opening its eyes so recklessly, it would be truly brainless to stay put and take a beating.

Even so, the Northwest Army Group of the Star Luo Empire suffered heavy casualties, and the front line showed a one-sided rout.

The Star Luo Empire's proud Mingdou Mountain Range defense line was almost completely ineffective, as it was instantly covered by the terrifying artillery of the Soul Master Corps.

Personally commanded by Dai Hao, the strongest Northwest Army Group of the Star Luo Empire faced a bloody counterattack from the Sun Moon Empire, which could be described in four words.

Vulnerable.

Eight Soul Master Corps, four of which are Beast King Soul Master Corps, constitute a military force sufficient to initiate a decisive battle.

This lineup, when used to fight Shrek Academy, would probably exert even greater pressure than the Beast Tide.

In this situation, it would be truly remarkable that the defenders on the Mingdou Mountains were able to organize an effective counterattack and hold their ground while being stunned by three level-9 fixed artillery shells.

After all, if they can hold their ground, Shrek Academy won't have to worry about the next beast tide; they can just invite these people over.

In just a few hours, the Star Luo Empire lost control of the Mingdou Mountains, which it had occupied for thousands of years.

The Star Luo Empire's most powerful army was completely manipulated by the Sun Moon Empire.

In a single raid, the Northwest Army Group alone suffered over 50,000 casualties.

Of these, more than 40,000 were combat soldiers, more than 10,000 were missing, and countless were wounded.

It's important to understand that the entire Northwest Army Group only had 120,000 soldiers. In just one battle, Dai Hao lost a third of his elite troops, with casualties exceeding 60,000.

The Soul Guidance Cannon is quite good; it has the ability to conduct beyond-visual-range strikes in low-intensity battles, and if there are enough of them, it can even suppress a typical Soul Guild.

Unfortunately, this move was useless against the four Beast King Soul Master Corps. Each of these four Soul Master Corps possessed beyond-visual-range attack capabilities. The Soul Guidance Cannon's proud 15-kilometer attack range was utterly insignificant in front of the Beast King Corps!
This is not a problem with a single piece of equipment, but a gap in the combat system.

It could even be said that if it weren't for the soul-guided cannons, and the simultaneous firing of thousands of cannons more than ten kilometers behind the border, the Sun Moon Empire's surprise attack would not have caused any real damage.

Because of the soul-guided cannons, at least the other four divisions that charged alongside the Beast King Soul Guidance Corps were unable to withstand the firepower of the soul-guided cannon shells, resulting in significant casualties.

Unfortunately, the trajectory of the soul-guided cannon shells was too obvious. After three rounds of salvo, the Beast King Soul Guidance Corps, without the assistance of high-altitude reconnaissance soul guides, still managed to calculate the exact location of the Mingdou Mountain artillery regiment's position and directly paralyzed several artillery regiment positions with the same ultra-long-range strike.

Otherwise, under the terrifying firepower of the cannon regiment, those four Soul Master regiments that couldn't withstand the firepower would definitely be annihilated in the sea of ​​fire on the spot!

The shocking news that the defenses of the western frontier had been breached had spread rapidly throughout the continent through various channels.

The Star Luo Empire's royal family was shocked and, while mobilizing a large army, sought help from the Dou Ling Empire and the Tian Hun Empire.

No one expected the Sun Moon Empire to launch its attack so quickly and with such ferocity. The three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent already had a high estimate of the Sun Moon Empire's fighting strength.

However, when this terrifying crisis struck, they discovered that their initial estimates were still insufficient.

The Sun Moon Empire was far more terrifying than they had imagined. The impact of soul tools on the war had far exceeded their expectations.

The blitzkrieg launched by eight Soul Master Corps actually routed the Northwest Army Group of the Star Luo Empire.

Although this was partly due to the presence of level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons clearing the way, it also fully demonstrated the formidable strength of the Soul Master Corps.

The incident caused an uproar on the mainland.

The Sun Moon Empire did not simultaneously wage war against the neighboring Heavenly Soul Empire; instead, it deployed several Soul Master Corps troops along its border with the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Meanwhile, on the western border of the Star Luo Empire, the army of the Sun Moon Empire had already entered the Star Luo Empire's territory through the breach.

Instead of rushing into an attack, they quickly seized several border fortresses that originally belonged to the Northwest Army Group, consolidating their gains. But everyone knew that their advance would not end there.

"Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo sent a letter requesting assistance, hoping that Shrek Academy could lend a hand and send several elders or even the Shrek City Guard to reinforce Mingdou Mountain Range."

"Xu Jiawei not only sent this letter of appeal to Shrek Academy, but also to the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Douling Empire. They're probably all in meetings right now."

After Han Ruoruo gave a report on the entire war, Elder Xuan and Chen Ping in the audience of the Soul Arena did not rush to speak, but instead began to ponder.

"Besides the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, the Guardian Hands mobilized almost their entire force. What a grand gesture."

Chen Ping's expression was somewhat solemn.
