Give Douluo a technological shock

boom! boom! boom!

While the Heavenly Soul Sea God Alliance, which boasted 100,000 Soul Masters, was crossing the river, more than a dozen scattered Soul Guidance Artillery shells were hurled at the Star Dou's first front-line position from the riverbank more than ten kilometers away. The shells blasted small craters into the thick reinforced concrete outside the sturdy temporary position's turrets, attempting to ensure that the Sea God Alliance's crossing would not be interfered with by the Star Dou defenders.

However, they clearly underestimated Ye Cheng's humanitarian concern for them. Judging Ye Cheng and his companions by their petty standards, the Star Dou Guards did not interfere with the Sea God Alliance's crossing of the river at all. The entire front line maintained an eerie silence, as if they wanted to have a 'fair war' with the other side.

boom! boom! boom!

After continuing to bombard the Star Dou garrison's positions, the Sea God Alliance's Soul Masters finally crossed the boundary river one after another. From Ye Cheng's perspective, he noticed that the army's formation had become somewhat chaotic. Then, after more than ten minutes, the opposing Soul Master army finally separated under the leadership of their respective leaders and began to fight in small groups.

"Is it a trap? Or is it just inherently bad?"

Ye Cheng lay prone in the gap beneath the front-line turret, silently watching the army ten kilometers away on the horizon. Ten kilometers was less than ten minutes' journey for a Soul Master army, and even faster for high-level Soul Masters.

Although he didn't know the enemy's situation, Ye Cheng estimated that the enemy's vanguard of more than 10,000 men had crossed the river and were rapidly approaching their first front line in small squads after they had finished integrating. So he gave the order in the temporary area communication channel of the War Soul Instrument: "The first and third regiments of the Star Dou Second Soul Guidance Corps will cross and block the enemy, and the second regiment will fill in the gaps."

As soon as the order was given, a thousand cannons roared from behind the Star Guardians!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The shells flying from the Starry Sky Formation formed a waterfall of fire in the air, instantly disorienting the vanguard of the Sea God Alliance. In a sudden earthquake, more than a thousand of the more than ten thousand vanguard soldiers were killed.

"retreat!"

"Dodge!"

Under the flames of the Firepower Waterfall, Ye Cheng quietly watched as the vanguard regiment of the Poseidon Alliance, which had already infiltrated five kilometers into the enemy's position, was bombed to a pulp, scattered, and left behind more than a thousand corpses before retreating to the rear.

Compared to ordinary people, Soul Masters, who are more agile and quick to react and possess strange and unusual Soul Skills, are not easy to kill. Moreover, these people are obviously prepared, using the small team system that Soul Masters are best at, which also effectively avoids the possibility of being wiped out by a high-powered cannon.

The Star Guardians currently use individual soul-guided cannons, which have a range of five or six kilometers and are not very powerful, but they are cheap and plentiful.

[Awakening of Insects] The cannons are reserved for the enemy's main force and command center; they need to be hidden.

There are only two [Truth] cannons in total, capable of firing four shots. There are also only ten [Awakening] cannons, with a total of one hundred exclusive fixed-equipment soul guide shells. Ye Cheng needs to make the most of them.

Therefore, after a brief clash, the Heavenly Soul Army, having left behind more than a thousand corpses, dispersed again near the boundary river, ten kilometers away.

If it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly Soul Empire possessed more than ten Title Douluo-level powerhouses, the Star Dou Empire's Soul Master army would have been fully capable of launching a counterattack and driving all these enemy troops who had crossed the river back down to meet their Sea God.

Finally, after the Heavenly Soul Army realized that although they outnumbered the Star Dou Guards, they could not break through their firepower, they quickly changed their attack strategy, breaking into smaller groups of a hundred men each and advancing towards the flanks of the Star Dou Guards.

"Not stupid."

Ye Cheng observed the other party's movements from the observation post and silently commented on it.

So he said to his men, "Fire from the position towers, fire three test shots."

The range and power of the positional turret cannons were greatly increased. As Ye Cheng gave the order, the heavy turret cannons located on the first front line of the Star Dou began to move slowly, followed by a deafening roar of artillery fire that shook the earth!

boom! boom! boom!

In the blink of an eye, three giant craters, each ten meters in diameter, appeared on the vast plain!

Around these giant craters were skin fragments of the Heavenly Soul Master Squad!

"Good, right on target." Ye Cheng quietly commented from the observation port, binoculars in hand. At the same time, he reminded, "All battalions of the Vanguard Legion, be on high alert."

Although the Star Dou Empire is not at its strongest yet, and various resources have not been prioritized for military development, it is still not a nation that can easily rival a country that does not possess soul tools.

Moreover, the purpose of the positional turret was to tell the Heavenly Soul Army that if they did not capture this position, their rear would be constantly threatened by artillery fire.

Of course, for Soul Masters, the firing rate and aiming speed of the turret cannon are very slow, and there are still thousands of Heavenly Soul soldiers flanking the left and right flanks of the Star Dou First Front.

At the same time, the second army of ten thousand Heavenly Soul Masters, located directly in front, also officially appeared in the sight of the Star Dou Guards. More than ten Soul Saints of the Heavenly Soul Army stood at the forefront of the army and summoned their Martial Soul True Forms. Those Martial Soul True Forms, which were more than ten meters tall, were like huge shields. Behind them, hundreds of auxiliary Soul Skills shone on the Soul Saints who had summoned their Martial Soul True Forms.

This finally made Ye Cheng's expression turn serious. After all, the Heavenly Soul Army wasn't entirely made up of good-for-nothings; there were still some quick-witted individuals among them.

"The artillery can fire freely, the Second Army Corps will hold off the enemy according to the battle plan, and the Vanguard Army Corps will continue to be on guard."

boom! ! !

The turrets, which had been prepared long ago, unleashed a fierce barrage of fire at the newly emerged Soul Master army from a distance of seven or eight kilometers!

However, just as the cannonballs were flying at high speed across the plain, a black-bodied humanoid tortoise among the Soul Saints who had summoned their Martial Soul True Forms in the distance suddenly appeared at the front, holding a huge Xuan Turtle Shield, and swapped positions with the leading Soul Saint, directly colliding with the hard cannonballs fired by the cannonballs!

boom!

After a muffled explosion, under the watchful eyes of everyone on both sides, the Xuan Turtle Soul Saint was blasted away, his shield showing some wear. However, the Soul Saint behind him immediately stepped forward to support him, and a large number of auxiliary and healing Soul Skills were unleashed upon him. In the blink of an eye, the Xuan Turtle Soul Saint, who had been somewhat unstable just a second ago, was fully recovered and reappeared at the forefront of the army, leading his comrades towards the Star Dou Guards!

Meanwhile, the Xuan Turtle Soul Saint unleashed his ten-thousand-year soul skill midway through the journey, and a giant black light shield, twenty or thirty meters long, appeared in his hand. A large number of individual soul guide cannonballs landed on his body, creating ripples, but with the assistance of his soul master comrades behind him, the calm was quickly restored.

At the same time, the sound of artillery fire, like raindrops, began to rang out on both sides of the front line. The few thousand Heavenly Soul Army soldiers who had previously slipped through were slowly approaching the Star Dou Defenders while the Star Dou Defenders were drawn to the Soul Master Army in front of them.

"The Xuan Shui Sect? They have some tricks up their sleeves."

Seeing that the enemy had successfully bypassed their firepower suppression head-on by directly using the methods of Soul Masters, Ye Cheng began to acknowledge the commander of this second Heavenly Soul Army.

"The turret will empty its shells to slow the turtle down, and simultaneously execute the second operational order."

New orders were issued, and the tower cannons on the Star Dou position suddenly went berserk, unleashing a barrage of fire at the Xuan Turtle Soul Saint at a rate of one shot per second! At the same time, the eleven thousand Star Dou soldiers on the front line also began to use even more intense soul-guided cannons to attack the approaching Heavenly Soul Army, while slowly retreating.

boom! boom! boom!

The Xuan Turtle Soul Saint, who was directly targeted by the turret cannon, felt his arm almost go numb. However, his teammates behind him held him up at the front for more than 30 seconds before the enemy's turret cannon stopped. For him, those 30 seconds felt like the longest 30 seconds of his life. He felt his arm constantly jumping back and forth between fracture and healing. The momentum of the thousands of Soul Masters behind him was also pushed back more than 10 meters by the inertia of the hard shell!

And during this period, hundreds or even thousands of people were shocked to death during this 'reverse push'!

But it must be said that the Xuan Turtle Soul Saint, with the support of the army, is truly tough.

Finally, when Xuan Gui Hun Sheng and his comrades braved the artillery fire and finally broke through to the Star Dou Defenders' position, they found that the place was already deserted!

When they saw the Star Army already running into the distance, they tried to give chase, but from a distance, countless cannonballs rained down from the sky like twinkling stars. In the bombardment that seemed to cause the heavens and earth to collapse, Xuan Turtle Soul Saint desperately raised his Xuan Turtle Shield to protect his teammates, but the bombardment was too dense. Even though he wanted to protect them, more than a thousand people were still turned into dust in the sudden long-range artillery fire.

Ye Cheng, who was organizing the retreat of more than 10,000 Star Dou garrison troops, suddenly changed his expression in the reflection of the beautiful fireworks flying over his head. He turned around and looked to the east. The pressure that could change the environment was being emanating violently. At the same time, in the internal mental communication channel of the Star Dou Second Soul Guidance Device Legion, hundreds of soldiers went offline in just a few seconds!

In just half an hour, the Heavenly Soul Army lost nearly 6,000 men without even seeing the Star Dou Army, finally prompting the titled Douluo of the Heavenly Soul Empire to take action!

Ye Cheng, his face grim, roared furiously into the Trapped Legion's mental communication channel: "Trapped Legion Eighth Battalion! Ninth Battalion! Use both short-range and long-range tactics! Take him out!"

hum! ! !

As Ye Cheng roared, the Soul Master and Soul King teams of the Eighth and Ninth Battalions, which were closest to the eastern front, formed a chilling and blood-red matrix behind them!

Amidst the resonance that made everyone nearby feel uneasy, the hidden vanguard team suddenly attracted the attention of everyone present, including the titled Douluo who suddenly appeared, intending to take advantage of the chaos and severely injure the Second Legion of Star Dou Soul Guidance Devices!

Buzz~ Thump!!

Amidst the chaotic barrage of artillery fire, the spirit rings on the backs of the two vanguard captains at the forefront of the hundred-man squad were suddenly interlocked by a blood-red disc, seemingly very slowly but actually very quickly exploding behind them!

Legion-level Soul Tool: [Harmonious Pulse]!

A battle formation capable of defeating generals: [Harmonious Pulse Formation]!

Amidst the dazzling barrage of cannon fire and particle beams, a blood-red figure, carrying a chilling killing intent, transformed into a blood-red streak and charged towards the unknown Title Douluo!

As the titled Douluo was forced back by the sudden change, another blood-red figure instantly sent him flying with unparalleled scarlet aura!

The titled Douluo reacted quickly, managing to defend against the sudden attack from another blood shadow that appeared from behind. However, the opponent's immense power caught him off guard, and he was knocked away!

Swish!

The high-temperature blade sliced ​​through the Title Douluo's protective soul power. Just as he was about to escape, a blazing blood blade pierced his back!

puff!

He seemed to want to resist, but in the next instant, another hot blade easily pierced his abdomen!

Puff.

Under the dazzling crimson barrage, this unfamiliar Title Douluo, who dared to challenge the authority of the Star Dou Empire's Douluo Law, collapsed helplessly into the warm black dust under the gaze of those in the light and those in the shadows.

The Sun Moon Empire heralded the end of the Douluo Era, but some people simply refused to believe it.

Now, another soul tool empire, the Star Dou Empire, is ruthlessly declaring to the world in a different way: the next era is called the Stars!

Both the Sun Moon Empire's soul power suppression technology and the Star Dou Empire's soul power activation technology foreshadow one truth:

The stars are dazzling!

Chapter 261: Tang San...Sea God...Can you give me back? [Please Subscribe]

The ultimate soul tool technology of the Sun Moon Empire is the mediocre [Conferred God Platform], which can seal powerful enemies, but in reality it still involves the theory of soul power suppression. Therefore, inspired by Chen Fu's [Exiled to Mortal] soul tool longsword, the Sun Moon Empire decisively chose its most proficient field, which is how to suppress the activity of soul power.

By suppressing the activity of soul power, the destructiveness and restorative power exhibited by soul power will be significantly reduced. This is the principle behind the Sun Moon Empire's legion soul tool, [Harmony].

However, the Star Dou Empire's research and development approach is the opposite of that of the Sun Moon Empire. Even the [Demoted Mortal], which allows the Sun Moon Empire to recognize the true nature of soul power, still operates on the principle of 'activation'. It 'activates' the soul power containing a portion of the spirit and will of the soul beast within the soul ring, causing the soul skills within the soul ring to 'self-collapse'.

Or perhaps the [Heavenly Dao - Azure] that hangs above the Star Dou Empire represents the Star Dou Empire's attitude towards the research of collective power. Back when Bai Qi led the Trapped Legion to its first arrival on the Kunlun Continent, he used the then-experimental [Harmonious Pulse] on the Silverback Ape Soul Saint, leading a legion of five hundred men to leap two ranks and slay a Soul Saint with two strikes!

Therefore, the reason why Chen Fu was so calm when he learned that the Sun Moon Empire possessed a revolutionary legion-level soul tool was that [Harmony] was a legion soul tool that ensured a minimum standard, while [Harmony Pulse] was a legion soul tool that could break through the upper limit. Which one was stronger or weaker depended on the situation. In any case, when the two met, the effects of the two legion soul tools would be greatly reduced, thus comparing their overall strength.

However, regardless of the circumstances, after the Star Dou Empire demonstrated its new legion-level soul tool to the Heavenly Soul Army, which could connect with groups to slay Title Douluos, it instantly poured cold water on those Title Douluos within the Heavenly Soul Empire who seemed eager to make a move. They finally calmed down and realized that the strength of their proud Title Douluos was utterly insignificant in the current battlefield environment.

On the front lines of the Truth War Zone, as the sound of artillery shells from the Star Dou Third Soul Tool Legion, which was on the second line, hitting the ground gradually subsided, the Star Dou Second Soul Tool Legion had completely abandoned the first line of defense and retreated to the second line. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Soul Empire, having suffered over 6,000 casualties, had not seen a single Star Dou army in sight.

The mere initial contact and the casualties of over six thousand men instantly calmed the Heavenly Soul Army down, deterring them from continuing their advance.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Title Douluo, this group of Sea God Alliance Soul Masters might have been defeated by the Star Dou Army by a score of 0 to 6,000, and they wouldn't even have known where the enemy was throughout the entire incident.

When the Heavenly Soul Army broke through the undefended first line of defense of the Star Dou garrison, they discovered that the spatial distribution between the first and second lines was exactly the same as when they attacked the first line of defense before.

"Have you calmed down? Or are you trying to stall for time?"

Seeing that the Heavenly Soul Army had stopped advancing, Ye Cheng, stationed on the second defensive line, began to monitor the rate of consumption of military supplies while simultaneously dealing with troop casualties. The Vanguard Legion had suffered no losses; the main problem was that the sudden attack by the Title Douluo had caught the Second Army off guard. Otherwise, without the Vanguard Legion's intervention, the Second Army, with its numerical advantage, would have been able to defend against the Title Douluo's attack.

Meanwhile, in Ye Cheng's view, the Heavenly Soul Army seemed to want to wait for the arrival of follow-up troops, hoping to buy time, which suited his wishes perfectly. At this moment, Truth City had nearly hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the rear, using resources gathered from all over the country to produce military equipment and weapons. He didn't think that the Heavenly Soul Empire's army replenishment speed could be faster than the Truth City's military factory's shell production speed.
