Give Douluo a technological shock
Page 246
Seeing that the Douling Emperor was so sensible, Ju Zi continued, "Then let's talk about your Douling Kingdom's surrender and reparations."
Emperor Douling was slightly taken aback, then wisely said, "We are willing to surrender unconditionally and compensate the Star Dou Empire for its property and personnel losses during the war!"
The Douling Emperor was quite shrewd; his country's army caused almost no losses to the Xingdou army, at most compensating them for the shells the Xingdou army had fired at them.
"First, the Douling Kingdom must surrender unconditionally and withdraw its troops immediately."
Emperor Douling nodded repeatedly: "Agreed, agreed!"
They've almost wiped out their army, where would they find so many soldiers left?
"Secondly, the Douling Kingdom will remove the title of Emperor and simply refer to itself as a Kingdom and its King as a King."
"Huh?" The Emperor of Douling was slightly taken aback, not knowing what Ju Zi meant. However, he was now at Ju Zi's mercy and had not suffered too much loss, so he nodded repeatedly and said, "Agreed, agreed!"
"Third, the number of troops in the Douling Kingdom is not allowed to exceed 50,000, and economic compensation must be paid to the Xingdou Empire. The specific details will be discussed with you by a special person later. After all, you don't want me to come to you again, do you?" Ju Zi casually sat on the throne in the Douling Imperial Palace, looking indifferently at the prostrate Douling Emperor below, no, he should be called the Douling King and his ministers.
"Agreed! Agreed!" Dou Lingwang didn't hesitate at all. It was uncertain whether they could even muster 50,000 Soul Masters in their country. Moreover, the other side had directly threatened to come again. How could they dare to refuse? Besides, compensation was a must. After all, they were the defeated nation.
"Alright, let's draft the agreement and sign it!"
"Huh?" Dou Ling Wang was stunned again. "That's it?"
Ju Zi couldn't help but smile, her captivating charm causing the Fighting Spirit King below to pause slightly in surprise. "What? You think that's not enough?"
"Enough! Enough! We'll sign! We'll sign!" Coming to his senses, King Douling was overjoyed. He had thought the Star Dou Empire would make exorbitant demands, asking for territorial concessions and reparations. He hadn't expected it to be so simple!
"Alright, let's draft the edict."
With a gentle wave of her hand, Dou Lingwang and the others who were previously prostrate on the ground immediately took out writing brushes and ink from their spatial rings, quickly wrote down the terms requested by Ju Zi, and then signed them.
Soon, all the preparations were completed. After taking a quick look and finding no problems, Ju Zi signed her name: Ju Zi, Commander-in-Chief of the Star Dou Empire's Dawn Fleet stationed on the Kunlun Continent.
"Alright, go and fulfill your agreement." Having finished everything, Orange waved to Dou Lingwang and the others, signaling them to leave.
"..." Dou Lingwang and the others glanced furtively at the woman above who treated their palace as her own home and had a very cute name. They looked at each other, unsure of where to go. But they quickly realized what was going on and hurriedly excused themselves. Since they had already surrendered, they might as well lie down and begin to fulfill the unconditional surrender agreement signed with the Star Dou Empire.
After all the bystanders left, Bai Qi, Ye Xuan, Ning Tian, Yang Xiao, and the others all came to Ju Zi's side. Ju Zi then spoke calmly, "Speak, what do you want to ask?"
Ye Xuan immediately asked, "Why were the conditions given to them so lenient?"
Ning Tian also said, "Yes, yes! These conditions are ridiculously easy!"
Ju Zi smiled faintly upon hearing this and said softly, "The Three Kingdoms of Douluo are nothing but withered bones in a tomb. The true enemy of Star Dou is the Sun and Moon Empire. You must have heard about the battle on the Sun and Moon Empire's side, right? In just seven days, the Star Luo Empire, which boasts the strongest Soul Master army on the continent, lost half of its territory. It's a war in the realm of Soul Guidance Devices. Do you think the people of Sword Pavilion will help us fight?"
In Ju Zi's view, the Douluo Three Kingdoms, which are stuck in their ways, are not worth the Star Dou Empire's efforts to manage. The Star Dou Empire's most pressing task is to defeat the Sun Moon Empire, which is based on soul tools, on the front lines with its soul tool technology.
Yang Xiao then said, "Hey, even if the Sword Pavilion is willing to help, we won't agree."
Yes, Yang Xiao hit the nail on the head. The war between the Star Dou Empire and the Sun Moon Empire is purely a war of technology. The entire Star Dou Empire, from the military to the civilians, will not allow themselves to lose to the Sun Moon.
Ju Zi's current approach is to appease the Douling Kingdom, and then wait for the Xingdou Empire to completely defeat the Riyue Empire, after which the Douling Kingdom will almost certainly collapse without a fight.
The Star Dou Empire has always lacked time, so Ju Zi is not worried about giving Dou Ling and other countries some time.
As for Douling Kingdom's breach of contract?
There's no need to worry, because Orange is also planning to bring the remaining troops around the capital of Douling Kingdom to fight against Tianhun Kingdom with her.
Let the Douling army see the Starry Sky Dawn army's ability to conquer cities and seize strongholds, and they will naturally behave themselves.
"So, as long as the Douling Kingdom is willing to pay compensation and not cause trouble, that's fine. Once our war with the Sun Moon Empire is over, won't they be at our mercy?"
"Furthermore, all those dishonest Soul Master nobles have already jumped out. We can just clean them up one by one according to the list. There's no need to push them to the brink now and add unnecessary trouble and risks for us. They are a group of people who are good at compromising. As long as we give them a little chance, they won't cause trouble. We have to boil them like frogs in warm water, slowly."
Orange patiently explained to everyone that if the Truth War Zone hadn't suffered such severe losses, she might have directly destroyed the Douling Kingdom. However, the Star Dou Empire had experienced losses in the Truth City battle, and the problem of its small number of Soul Master soldiers was beginning to surface.
The two soul-guided weapon armies in the Dawn War Zone need to contend with the Sun Moon Empire. The Star Dou Fourth Army, led by Xu Mu, can only guarantee that Star Luo City will not fall, but it is easy to be surrounded. At that time, the Star Dou Empire will still need to send troops to support them.
At this point, the Star Dou Empire could no longer afford to waste time with the Dou Ling and other nations. Giving these countries a glimmer of hope would also give the Star Dou Empire some time.
"Judging by the time, the wolf riders should have already made contact with the Demon Lord's forces, so we should leave now."
As Ju Zi explained to everyone, she took out a military map of Douluo Continent from her spatial ring.
Ye Xuan's wolf riders focused on supporting the breakthrough and transmitting information. As early as when they began their attack on Douling City, a ten-person team traveled south along the sparsely populated Soul Beast Forest to the border of the Star Dou Empire to contact the Demon Lord in the Dawn War Zone.
At their basic speed, the wolf riders can maintain a daily range of two thousand kilometers at full speed, enough to travel across the entire Douling Kingdom from north to south.
The reason why the wolf riders could 'flee the battlefield' was that as long as they were alive, they were still useful.
Moreover, while it takes seven or eight years to train elite warriors, it's much harder to train wolf riders, as the cultivation levels of those gray wolf mounts start at the thousand-year level. Just like when the Star Dou Empire refused Xiong Jun's offer to equip the elite legion with Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears, the reason was simply that they couldn't afford the losses.
Of course, after awakening the Dao skill [Trapped Formation], the Trapped Legion might be able to try training with some bear cubs.
"Then we should also set off to break through the Heavenly Soul."
Orange pointed to Tianhun City, the capital of the Tianhun Empire, located to the lower left of Douling City on the military map.
"Under extreme marching conditions, we can bring two thousand men from the Vanguard and the Azure Wolf to the outskirts of Heavenly Soul City in a single day. In that case, it would be difficult to take these Fighting Spirit Army soldiers to see the world."
Thinking of those burdens, Orange was momentarily at a loss.
The Dawn Fleet has a total of 12,000 men, of whom 5,000 are on the fleet and only 7,000 are on land.
One thousand elite troops were assigned to assault the enemy, one thousand were assigned to provide support and scouts, and five thousand were assigned to regular Soul Guidance Device troops.
Because the spatial ring can store equipment, the wolf riders can lead a thousand armored warriors to any location within a 2,000-kilometer radius in a single day, then don their armor on the spot and launch attacks on cities and strongholds.
The remaining 5,000 regular soul tool legion will be a little slower, but with the support of the standard flying soul tools and standard energy cores, they will not be much slower than the Canglang Ranger Legion.
The Sun Moon Empire's 200,000-strong army equipped with soul tools launched a seven-day campaign to swallow half of the Star Luo Empire. They're very powerful, aren't they?
However, with its logistics replenished, the Dawn Fleet's army, despite lacking manpower and not considering occupation, could set off from Star City in just three days, pierce through Star Luo, and storm into Sun and Moon! Its confidence lay in the Star Dou Empire's core technology: energy technology, which was far ahead of the rest of the world.
"How about we leave a thousand-strong Dawn Marine Regiment with the 20,000 surviving Douling City defenders to follow behind, while simultaneously capturing the cities we conquer along the way, and finally helping us take over Tianhun City?
Bai Qi's voice rang out at this moment, presenting everyone with a highly feasible solution.
Ning Tian's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Not bad! Sending the Douling army to help us guard the capital of Tianhun is a really cunning move!"
Ye Xuan smiled and nodded, saying, "On the one hand, it solves the problem of the remaining troops of Douling Kingdom, and on the other hand, it adds a bit of restraint between Tianhun and Douling."
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Ju Zi nodded and said, "Alright then, let's do it this way. Bai Qi will go and reorganize the Dou Ling Army, Ye Xuan will go and scout ahead, and Ning Tian will go and assemble the Dawn Marine Corps. We'll set off before sunset."
Ju Zi estimated the speed at which the fighting spirit army would assemble, and then assigned tasks to everyone.
Landing in the northern part of Douling Kingdom, then cutting straight through Douling City, then Tianhun City, and finally heading to Zhenli City, Ju Zi and the others will draw a lightning bolt symbol across the Douluo Continent. Later generations often compared the lightning-fast march of the Dawn Land Forces to the overwhelming force of the Sun Moon Empire's conquest of the Star Luo Empire, calling it a 'blitzkrieg'. The former uses a point-to-area attack, the latter uses sheer force.
On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, in a dense forest, Wang Dong'er, covered in blood, silently collected the information chips inside the armors of the fallen warriors in a mass grave. The midday sun shone down, but she felt no warmth at all.
"Oh? You came with the Academy Army too?"
Yesterday, Ye Cheng, the deputy commander of the Vanguard Legion, looked at her with surprise when he first saw her.
Her first question to Ye Cheng was, "What?! How come you only have so few people?!"
Ye Cheng just laughed it off and said nonchalantly, "It's not convenient to say, as it might dampen the morale of the other brother legions. However, with your help, we can still annihilate more than 70,000 enemy troops."
At the time, Wang Dong'er didn't believe it, but in the end, Ye Cheng and the others did indeed do it. They bravely took on all the most difficult places, leaving the Academy Army and the Second and Third Armies, which had suffered heavy losses, with enemy troops in a state of panic.
"Ahem...ahem, classmate, haha, could you do me a favor?"
When the fierce battle between a few soul beasts and soul masters came to an end, Wang Dong'er, her expression numb, finally found Ye Cheng, whose armor was shattered, among the battlefield wreckage. As the legion commander, he had been attacked by several Soul Douluo enemies on the battlefield. When Wang Dong'er found him, Ye Cheng, whose body was not intact, used his sword to support his body so that he would not fall down, and called out to Wang Dong'er, who was cleaning up the battlefield, with a forced smile.
"You! You! Don't speak! I'm going to inject you with the medicine!"
Wang Dong'er was extremely panicked. Ye Cheng's condition was really bad; you could even see his trembling internal organs through the hole in his chest!
Just as Wang Dong'er frantically searched her body for high-level life potions with her blood-stained hands, Ye Cheng, who was already on the verge of death, laughed nonchalantly:
"Cough cough! Ha. No need, I've already tried it, it's useless. It exploded twice."
Wang Dong'er was stunned. The cost of a martial arts cultivator's ring explosion is extremely high, essentially exchanging a portion of their soul for a brief period of infinite energy. A second ring explosion in a short time is beyond the scope of life-saving potions.
"Hahaha! Cough cough! I... didn't we keep our word?!"
Ye Cheng's life force was visibly draining away, but Wang Dong'er was powerless to stop it and could only watch silently.
They did indeed succeed. The rampage of over three hundred invincible heavily armored soldiers kept the enemy force of over seventy thousand in a state of chaos, allowing the Academy Army and the Second and Third Armies to annihilate the main force of the Heavenly Soul Army at minimal cost.
Many soldiers even died from their own side's artillery fire.
"Ahem! Can you do me a favor?"
As his life drew to a close, Ye Cheng struggled to use his other hand to retrieve a simple black box—a storage device—from his shattered armor. He then placed it in front of Wang Dong'er using the remaining joints of his armor, weakly saying:
"Collecting the wandering souls of my brothers."
Then, the light gradually faded from Ye Cheng's deep blue eyes, and he fell into eternal sleep amidst the dappled sunlight filtering through the forest.

Wang Dong'er mechanically removed the information chip from Ye Cheng's helmet, declaring his death in battle.
And those chips.
It will be the next generation of the Invaders's smart terminal.

"Dong'er, are you alright?"
On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Xiao, looking exhausted, walked over from a distance and sat down directly next to Wang Dong'er, who was holding a small black box and staring blankly. She subconsciously glanced at what Wang Dong'er was holding.
