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

Chapter 784 Intent Analysis
"Then what should we do? Should we mobilize the academy's elders to the Mingdou Mountains to help them hold the line?"

“The Shrek City Guard cannot be moved, but it’s not a problem to move the elders of Shrek Academy, especially after you used those extremely rare silver dragon scales to deploy the teleportation tower that connects the small world directly to Shrek City.”

“Even if our people go out, as long as you are here, you can return immediately if you receive a message that you need to return urgently.”

"In this way, even if the four Beast King Soul Master Corps of Mingdou Mountain Range take action, the three empires plus Shrek Academy may not be able to stop the Sun Moon Empire, this mad dog."

Elder Xuan spoke rather cautiously. After Han Ruoruo's report, he gained a completely new understanding of the power of Soul Masters and the Soul Master Corps. Even with the combined power of the entire continent, what Elder Xuan said was that they might not be able to stop them.

Upon hearing this, Han Ruoruo nodded heavily: "The Sun Moon Empire's wolfish ambitions have finally been revealed. This time, Shrek Academy must give them another crushing blow. Elder Xuan, please take me with you when we go to fight in the Mingdou Mountains."

"No."

At that moment, Chen Ping closed his eyes and spoke expressionlessly.

"Why not? Brother Chen, I'm an eight-ring Soul Douluo, not much worse than your senior sister and Xiao Tao."

Han Ruoruo didn't expect Chen Ping to directly reject her idea, but she also understood that the words of this queue-jumping pavilion master carried almost as much weight in the Sea God Pavilion as those of Elder Xuan.

“I didn’t say you can’t go to the front lines and fight alongside the academy. I meant that the academy can’t go to support the Star Luo Empire.”

"What?"*2
This time, not only was Han Ruoruo shocked, but even Elder Xuan was speechless with astonishment, not knowing why Chen Ping would say such a thing.

"why?"

Elder Xuan turned to look at Chen Ping, his eyes filled with confusion: "A teleportation tower built with silver dragon scales and various rare metals is enough to allow us to quickly return to Shrek Academy in case of any emergency."

"Even if you're worried that the academy's security level will drop without the elders guarding it, don't forget that we still have the Shrek City Guard. This is a super armed force that is theoretically no weaker than the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps."

Chen Ping shook his head again: "That's not what I'm worried about. The academy's elders can help, but this time we shouldn't be helping the Star Luo Empire, but the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"It is true that the people of the Sun Moon Empire used a level-nine soul tool to blast open a passage and almost defeated the Northwest Army Group, but this does not mean that the Sun Moon Empire will continue to launch an attack."

"If it were me, and I really wanted to attack the Star Luo Empire, then I would definitely press on in one fell swoop. How could I possibly stop fighting and hold my ground immediately after taking the Mingdou Mountains? I have a full eight Soul Master Corps at my disposal!"

"Give me this kind of manpower, and I'd even dare to storm the Star Dou Forest and face the beast tide head-on. How could I possibly stop after just taking over a mountain range?"

"The inevitable course of action is to destroy the second line of defense, then the granaries and all military supplies. Or perhaps they will plunder the area. Then they will consolidate their hold and defend the area, waiting for more troops to arrive. Instead of continuing the attack altogether, as things are now."

After Chen Ping finished speaking, Han Ruoruo and Elder Xuan were speechless for a moment. Indeed, if the Sun Moon Empire really intended to take on the Star Luo Empire head-on, how could they suddenly stop after already losing three fixed-position shells? They were even prepared to rebuild their defensive positions and hold their ground.

They set up a large number of soul tool defense positions and high-altitude detection positions to block the Star Luo side from exploring the Mingdou Mountains and keep everyone in the dark about the true situation of the Mingdou Mountains. This was a reasonable choice in the tactical field, but it was an extremely foolish idea in the strategic field.

What's the point of reinforcing the Mingdou Mountain Range? With this time, why not take advantage of the fact that the Tianhun and Douling Empires haven't received the news yet, and Shrek's people haven't had time to arrive, and launch a night raid to attack Yuming City and several other cities dozens of kilometers away?

When your enemy does something that seems idiotic, everyone should be extra careful and not take the other person for an idiot.

After all, that was an enemy standing before them, not two idiots at the village entrance whose foolish behavior could only be used to conceal the true intentions of the Sun Moon Empire.

Han Ruoruo asked, "What benefit do they get from doing this?"

Chen Ping's expression was terrifyingly calm. "The advantage is that it can conceal their true purpose in this war. They don't intend to attack the Star Luo Empire with all their might at all."

"They are deliberately giving us time to support the Star Luo Empire. They want to use this attack to attract the attention of the entire continent."

"Everyone thinks they're going to attack our Star Luo Empire. What will happen? It will mobilize all the main forces of our Star Luo Empire and concentrate them on the western frontier."

"Then reinforcements from the Douling Empire will also be mobilized. There will even be some reinforcements from the Tianhun Empire."

"Once we've finished all these things, they'll reveal their true intentions. If I'm not mistaken, their real target isn't our Star Luo Empire, but the Heavenly Soul Empire!"

"That's why I said that even if the academy really does send reinforcements, it should go to the Heavenly Soul Empire to provide them."

"Given that the Sun Moon Empire's invasion options are limited to the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire, choosing to attack the Heavenly Soul Empire is always easier than attacking the Star Luo Empire, whose territory is slightly larger than the sum of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire."

"The main reason why the Northwest Army Group suffered such a crushing defeat this time was because it was hit by three level 9 fixed shells and was stunned by the bombardment."

"But the Sun Moon Empire can't possibly use level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells every day. The number of those things is limited. Every one used is one less. They are strategically important."

"So, unless the Sun Moon Empire has no desire to continue living and simply wants to drag the three great empires down with it, leaving the Sun Moon Empire with nine out of ten empty houses and its potential exhausted, they are unlikely to continue fighting like this."

After finishing this long speech, Chen Ping let out a long sigh of relief: "Using level nine fixed-position shells to attack the Star Luo Empire showed everyone the determination of the Sun Moon Empire to go to war with the Star Luo Empire."

"But in my eyes, this is precisely the decisive evidence that the Sun Moon Empire has no intention of fighting the Star Luo Empire at all. The situation within the Sun Moon Empire is unstable. What they need most right now is to launch a war and achieve immediate results."
