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

Chapter 788 Discover and Destroy

We'll do it tonight!
Chen Ping's five simple words brought a sigh of relief to Dai Hao, who had always believed that the ultra-high-altitude detection soul guide and the high-altitude detector had completely identical data parameters.

He was too hasty. If he had waited until night to send out scouts, he might have had a chance to sneak up into the mountains and learn as much as possible about the deployment of soldiers within the Mingdou Mountains.

"Tonight I will organize several small teams to try to break into the Mingdou Mountains a few more times, to obtain as much detailed information as possible about the soul masters and soul tools in the Mingdou Mountains. At the same time, we will also make use of the caves in the Mingdou Mountains, splitting our forces into two groups to obtain as much intelligence as possible."

"After that, I will have the remaining artillery regiments concentrate their fire to try to wipe out the soul masters of Mingdou Mountain Range in one go and take back Mingdou Mountain Range."

Looking at the gap in the Mingdou Mountains in the distance, blasted open by a level-nine fixed-mount artillery shell, Dai Hao clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with resentment.

The White Tiger clan has been guarding the Mingdou Mountains for thousands of years!

“This was not the advice I gave you in our previous communications.”

Chen Ping glanced at Dai Hao: "What I said before was to gather all the level four soul-guided cannons together and blow them up as many as possible. In the end, we will be able to destroy all the soul-guided devices laid out on the Mingdou Mountain Range, instead of having you do precise positioning before blowing them up."

"Destroy as many as you can?" Dai Hao seemed to have heard an unbelievable joke: "Do you know how many times more shells it would take to achieve the same effect than a precise fire strike?"

“Aim at a soul-guided position and bombard it once. Dozens of shells, at most a hundred, will be enough to level it. You can bombard the entire area of ​​the Mingdou Mountains where positions might be set up. Thousands of shells, or even tens of thousands, would not be enough. You would need tens of thousands of shells!”

"My entire Northwest Army Group has not even reached 100,000 rounds of Tier 4 artillery shells. If we use so many shells so extravagantly, how can we fight the battles to come?"

War, in the end, is all about burning money, and Dai Hao's reaction at this moment powerfully proves this point.

Chen Ping's suggestion of overwhelming firepower was correct, but Dai Hao's approach of first using human lives to locate coordinates and then launching precise strikes was also a truly mature and prudent strategy for governing the country.

If they really had the money, who wouldn't want to unleash a barrage of cannon fire, just like the Japanese Empire, clearing the way with three level-nine fixed shells right from the start? The problem is, they don't have the money!
Chen Ping was speechless when he heard Dai Hao's words, which sounded somewhat like he was complaining about being poor. He really hadn't expected Dai Hao to be so poor.

The Star Luo Empire's artillery reserves are damn low. The entire Northwest Army Group has less than 100,000 level 4 or higher artillery shells at most. How are they going to fight the Sun Moon Empire?

It should be noted that the armory Chen Ping looted last time had a reserve of tens of thousands of tons of rare metals and a rich variety of soul tools, enough to arm four soul master regiments.

The entire Northwest Army Group's equipment reserves combined are not even as good as a single armory of the Sun Moon Empire. The gap between them is simply despairing.

"Fine, this can be considered a miscalculation on my part; I didn't expect you all to be like this."

Chen Ping sighed, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

What else could he say? He couldn't very well say that he hadn't expected the Northwest Army Group to be so poor that it didn't even have 100,000 artillery shells to fight a war, could he?
"Shrek will be selling a batch of soul-guided cannon shells at 75% of the market price. I'm letting you know in advance."

Chen Ping sighed. No wonder the Heavenly Soul Empire in the original story was pushed to the capital in just half a month.

The Star Luo Empire has been pushed forward and developed by itself for so many years, but this is the best it can be said that the military strength of the Heavenly Soul Empire in the original novel was not that great.

Given the firepower reserves of these two empires, if he didn't use the Sun Moon Empire's military reserves to bail them out, Chen Ping was even worried that these two empires would be wiped out before he turned twenty!

"25% off? Chen Ping, is Shrek Academy going to fail?" Xu Jiujiu exclaimed in shock. At this price, there was absolutely no way they could make a profit, right? They were practically losing money to make equipment!
“You don’t need to worry about that,” Chen Ping shook his head and said, “Although it’s unrealistic to cover the entire mountain range with firepower, I still have to say that the plan to send people into the Mingdou Mountains at night to find the soul guide deployment is almost impossible to implement.”

"The second piece of information I'm here to convey to you is top secret. It can't even be transmitted through an encrypted channel; I have to come here in person."

After Chen Ping finished speaking, Dai Hao made a gesture, and immediately someone cleared out everyone near the tent.

"The current deployment of soul-guided devices in the Mingdou Mountains mainly consists of automatic turrets, supplemented by soul-guided rays, with more than three thousand firing points."

"The Soul Guide Ray is highly accurate and has strong penetrating power."

"The Soul-Guided Cannon has a wide coverage area and great power."

"If anyone tries to launch a full-scale attack, they will be subjected to a saturation bombardment by the soul-guided cannons before they even get close."

"If we can really break through to the front line, the barrage of soul-guided rays will make the soul master suffer greatly."

"As long as there are enough baby bottles, the artillery fire from the Sun and Moon side will not stop."

"The high-altitude detection, thermal energy detection, and soul power detection soul tools are activated in a coordinated manner."

"Anyone who wants to launch a strong attack should be prepared to be eliminated as soon as they are discovered. That's why I want you to use overwhelming firepower directly."

Detect and eliminate!
These words struck Xu Jiujiu and Dai Hao like a heavy hammer blow to their hearts. What terrifying words these were!

The defensive capabilities and endurance of the war soul tool positions are absolutely terrifying, something that the Star Luo Empire's soul master legions simply cannot match.

Given the current strength that Xingluo has demonstrated, even if the entire nation mobilized, there would be no way they could force a breakthrough.

At this moment, the Mingdou Mountains resembled a giant hedgehog, constantly raising its quills to prevent anyone from getting close.

"How about we send out our strongest members, forming a special forces team composed of Title Douluo and Soul Douluo, to go in and eliminate the enemy's strongpoints one by one?"

"We can take down dozens of strongholds at a time, and retreat when we run out of soul power. If we do this a few more times, we should be able to take them all down, right?"

Dai Hao thought about it seriously for a long time before speaking in a serious tone.

"This brings us to the top-secret information I'm about to relay."

Chen Ping seemed to have anticipated this response, and glanced at the two of them: "According to unreliable intelligence, the Death God Soul Guidance Device, the pinnacle of soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire, has been transported to the Mingdou Mountains."

"That Death God Soul Guidance Device is powered by the souls of living beings. When I came to the Mingdou Mountains, I took a look and found that in less than a day, tens of thousands of souls on the Mingdou Mountains had disappeared without a trace. In other words, the Death God Soul Guidance Device may have really arrived."
