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

Chapter 888 One link after another

At this moment, the exploding cannonballs from Shrek Castle landed among the beast horde, causing only a few hundred casualties. But even such casualties almost made Brigitte's heart ache so much that she couldn't breathe.

Because Chen Ping had anticipated that the soul beasts would choose to use high-age soul beasts to clear mines, he specifically requested that these rounds of shells be loaded with level 6 high-explosive shells!

Therefore, the explosion of these shells was still extremely deadly to these tough-skinned soul beasts.

This is a ruthless move!
If these traps and soul-guided devices outside the south city wall are not removed, the beast tide's attack can only proceed from the east, west, and north, greatly reducing the pressure on the city's defenses.

However, if they were to grit their teeth and try to clear the mines, the terrifying range of the soul-guided cannon would make the mine-clearing progress of these soul beasts extremely slow. Anyone who dared to come up to clear the mines would die!
When the elders of the Sea God Pavilion saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel their hearts pound. Looking at Chen Ping, who remained calm on the city wall, they were immediately grateful that he was on their side.

This intricately linked scheme was utterly disgusting to the soul beasts who only knew how to charge recklessly. But no matter how uncomfortable it was, Chen Ping had already made his move, and these soul beasts had no choice but to accept it!
A terrifying explosion raged once again, and the deafening roar echoed across the entire battlefield.

In an instant, the vanguard of the soul beast army fell in droves, like wheat being harvested. And then, a large number of soul rings rose up.

A roar of cheers erupted atop Shrek City's walls. The army of spirit beasts was not invincible!

Shrek's bombardment lasted for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, firing over three thousand shells, from the maximum range of the trap soul tool ten kilometers away all the way to the maximum range of the soul tool cannon fourteen kilometers away.

The loss of nearly ten thousand more soul beasts filled the ferocious beasts with grief and indignation. However, no matter how angry they were, faced with the blocking position formed by soul-guided traps and long-range howitzers, the soul beast army could only retreat again, and only slowly stopped when they were more than twenty kilometers away.

Shi Xing was not blinded by the series of small successes, and immediately ordered the city guards to cool the cannon barrels.

Although the Soul-guided howitzer is made of forged metal, which allows it to fire at a long range and at a fast rate of fire, it still faces the problem of overheating of the barrel.

Fortunately, this was not a difficult task for the soldiers defending the city. During the major renovation of Shrek City, in addition to the deployment of various defensive and detection soul tools inside the city walls, the city guards, who also had access to water and electricity, quickly pulled out fire hoses and sprayed them onto the cannon barrels to quickly cool down the cannons and howitzers.

Using fire hoses to cool down cannon barrels is an absurd situation that could only be found in Shrek, a place where retro and modern technologies overlap.

After all, in Chen Ping's hometown, the era when traditional artillery was incredibly powerful in defending cities didn't overlap with things like fire hoses.
Just as Shrek Academy was methodically cooling down the cannon barrels, a bright green figure rose into the air from the direction of the soul beast army in the distance.

As she ascended, layers of emerald green ripples began to spread out, covering the front of the beast tide.

The high-explosive bombs not only killed some of the soul beasts, but also injured a large number of them.

However, under this emerald light, the injuries of those soul beasts healed at an astonishing speed.

Even more strangely, the densely packed soul rings melted in the emerald light, making the light even stronger.

Soon, the injured soul beasts that had fallen to the ground got up one by one and roared again.

"Humans, you are researching this destructive weapon, and one day you will use it on us soul beasts."

“Originally, I did not support Di Tian launching the beast tide. But now, I must say that the existence of you humans has seriously threatened the survival of us soul beasts. In this holy war, we will go all out.”

On the city wall of Shrek City, Old Song's eyes suddenly sharpened. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and rose slowly from the city wall, hovering in mid-air. A strong blue light emanated from her body.

Behind Old Song, light and shadow flickered, revealing a blue eagle covered in azure light.

Azure Shadow Divine Eagle, Elder Song's martial soul. A top-tier wind-attribute beast martial soul. A top-tier agility-attack type martial soul.

Old Song ascended into the air, facing off against the stunning woman from afar, and shouted in a deep voice, "Are you the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji?"

The stunningly beautiful woman did not look at Elder Song, but instead gazed at the vast number of dead and wounded soul beast corpses in front of the beast tide army, her eyes filled with pity.

"That's right, I am Brigitte."

Old Song's heart sank.

The Beast Gods are fighting in the air, and Bi Ji appears above the army of soul beasts. If even she, who has always loved peace, advocates for battle, then the intensity of this great battle will probably far exceed that of the last one.

It's worth noting that during the last beast tide over a hundred years ago, it was this Emerald Swan who ultimately championed and persuaded the Emperor to sign a peace treaty with humanity!
At that time, Mr. Song had also witnessed the previous battle and had a particularly deep memory of this jade swan.

After that beast tide, Shrek Academy developed a strong hostility towards the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, with the exception of this Emerald Swan.

"Retreat. You should be able to see that in the face of the new soul tools, the beast tide that you once took pride in is no longer a deterrent weapon that can threaten the human world."

“Beauty, if I remember correctly, you are known as the kindest soul beast. You are also the only one among the ten ferocious beasts who is not good at fighting.”

"But your status among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts is comparable to that of Di Tian."

"Because you have healed countless soul beasts and saved their lives."

"Now, an opportunity to avoid bloodshed on both sides is before you. If you want to destroy Shrek City, are you prepared to give your beast horde a chance to suffer heavy losses?"

Biji looked at Elder Song from afar, gently shook her head, and said, "No, you're wrong."

"Although our Star Dou Great Forest has been able to maintain its ecological balance over the years, you humans have become increasingly powerful."

“Those weapons just now made me feel a deep sense of crisis. If you humans continue to develop like this, when ordinary people can also wield powerful weapons, there will be no place for us soul beasts on the continent.”

"If we don't weaken you humans enough, we soul beasts will surely perish in the future."

"Di Tian's choice is correct. You humans are becoming more and more terrifying, and you have the potential to destroy the Star Dou Forest."
