Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, I will never die in a battlefield.

Chapter 319 How can a true dragon riding on the face lose?

On the third day after the group stage ended, the Sun Moon Empire declared war on the Star Luo Empire.

On the makeshift platform in Mingdu Square, the Sun and Moon Emperor delivered a passionate speech to all his subjects, denouncing the Star Luo Empire's shameless act of sending assassins to kill the imperial heir.

What were originally just rumors and gossip were now "confirmed" by the Emperor of the Sun and Moon himself. Coupled with the hatred that the people of the Sun and Moon had been harboring for so long under the deliberate guidance of the Sun and Moon royal family, the people of the Sun and Moon were completely ignited.

Anger surged and quickly infected everyone, and so, in the midst of this heightened emotion, the Sun and Moon Emperor declared war.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will fully support you.

The crowd shouted "Long live the Emperor!" and loudly proclaimed "Your Majesty is wise!" bringing the atmosphere of the speech to a climax.

This is exactly what the Sun and Moon Emperor desired.

If we win this war, the Sun and Moon Empire will be the sole ruler of this continent!

No one could resist such a temptation, not even the Emperor of the Sun and Moon.

……

……

A month later in the blink of an eye.

In the imperial palace of Xingluo City.

"Your Majesty! Several more level-nine Soul Masters have appeared on the battlefield of the Sun Moon Empire, with Kong Deming of the Offering Hall, Jing Hongchen of the Mingde Hall, and Ye Yulin, the Starry Sky Douluo, leading the way."

"Xuanji Douluo, Tiansha Douluo, and Juchui Douluo barely managed to cope, but the Sun and Moon faction actually had other level nine soul masters!"

"Secondly, the Third Soul Master Legion has suffered more than half its losses, Your Majesty!"

A soldier clad in armor, with traces of blood still clinging to it, cried out in anguish. He had barely made it back from the front lines after a day and a night of continuous marching, and even as a Soul Master, he had reached his limit.

His bloodshot eyes, weary from exhaustion, stared at the Star Luo Emperor at the very top. He now only hoped that the emperor at the top would show some pity and then issue an order to send troops to support him.

However, in reality, seeing the expectation in his eyes, the Star Luo Emperor remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"I see."

There was indeed a response, but it felt like a perfunctory reply.

The taut string snapped completely, and the soldier coughed up blood and fell unconscious.

Sitting on the dragon throne, watching the soldiers being taken away for emergency treatment, Xu Jiawei remained silent for a moment.

A month ago, the Sun Moon Emperor declared war. At the same time, four Soul Master Battle Teams of the Sun Moon Empire stationed in the Mingdu Mountains launched an attack on the troops stationed in his Star Luo Empire.

Countless soul-guided cannonballs streaked across the sky, crashing into the Star Luo Empire's territory, yet they had no means of countermeasures.

No, it's not that we lack the means to retaliate, but rather that we lack even the ability to resist.

From the very first day, the Sun and Moon Army directly deployed super-large-scale field energy shields, and every day, special squads of soul rings were molded into soul-guided cannons to bombard the Star Luo Empire 24 hours a day.

Through continuous development, the "Ring Shaping Soul Guidance Method" has become capable of directly shaping normal soul rings into soul guidance devices using specially made soul guidance tools.

Soul tools similar to fixed-mount soul guide cannons can even be directly combined and linked with soul rings to directly condense fixed-mount soul guide cannonballs using soul power!

This means that each firing of the fixed-mount soul-guided cannon will not be "money-burning," but will only consume a portion of soul power! And soul power can be replenished using a "soul power storage device"!

With this almost heaven-defying advantage, the Star Luo Empire suffered heavy losses in the first few days without even seeing a single soldier from the Sun Moon Empire.

There was no other way but to temporarily retreat to the position for rest. However, no sooner had they retreated than the Sun and Moon soldiers occupied the position and then continued to bombard it after setting up a super-large energy shield!

If it weren't for the later arrival of some high-level Soul Masters from the Star Luo side, who forcibly broke through the artillery fire and breached the enemy's lines, the Star Luo Empire would have surely suffered a series of defeats.

But does the Star Luo faction have high-level Soul Masters while the Sun Moon Empire doesn't?

With the arrival of the Sun Moon Empire's high-level Soul Masters, the Star Luo Empire fell into a disadvantageous position. With no other option, the Star Luo Empire could only send in a series of high-end combatants, such as the Heavenly Fiend Douluo and the Giant Hammer Douluo, to barely stop the Sun Moon Empire's offensive.

However, in reality, if the Star Luo Empire did not continue to send troops to the front lines, the Sun Moon Empire would only need to pay a small price to break through the Star Luo Empire's army stationed in the Mingdu Mountains.

Then came the unstoppable invasion!

However, the Sun and Moon Army did not choose that approach. Instead, they adopted an extremely cautious and conservative strategy, which was almost excessive.

Even though the battle on the front lines was fierce, once their high-level Soul Masters entered the fray, several Soul Masters of the same level would suddenly appear to block them, and then the attacking soldiers would begin to retreat in an orderly manner.

Throughout the entire process, the soldiers of Xingluo suffered heavy casualties, while the soldiers of the Sun Moon Empire suffered few losses.

Using this tactic, the Sun and Moon Army gradually eroded the troops they had deployed in the Star Luo Empire.

The casualty ratio of over one to five was almost crushing the entire Star Luo army on the front lines, but there was no other way; they could not choose to retreat.

Xu Jiawei was well aware that with the Sun Moon Empire's current steady tactics, if they retreated, their Star Luo Empire's territory would be occupied in an instant, and possibly lost permanently.

For an emperor, losing territory is nothing short of a disgrace, and such a price is unacceptable to Xu Jiawei!

Therefore, he could only continuously mobilize troops to support the front lines, attempting to use his numerical advantage to bridge the gap with the Sun and Moon Empire.

But this is not a long-term solution.

Although it seems that as long as the Sun Moon Empire's strategy does not change, the front line can hold out for a long time, it's just a matter of filling the gaps with lives.

However, if this continues, the Star Luo Empire will surely fall!

Advanced soul-guided technology, near-frighteningly high military obedience and information transmission speed, and the superior quality of its soldiers.

Everything is interconnected, and the downfall of the Star Luo Empire was almost a foreseeable future.

After a moment of silence, Xu Jiawei suddenly spoke:

"Any news from the Douling Empire and the Tianhun Empire?"

"Your Majesty, the Douling Empire has replied that it will send a standard Soul Master battle group to provide support, while the Tianhun Empire has replied that it will send a Soul Master battle group and two standard Soul Master battle groups to provide support!"

"Based on the timeline, we should arrive at the front lines in about seven days!"

The minister kneeling on the ground spoke with a respectful yet excited tone; indeed, such good news was certainly something to be excited about.

Even Xu Jiawei himself was unconsciously infected by this good news, and his mood immediately improved a lot.

However, Xu Jiawei immediately frowned involuntarily. It was normal for the Douling Empire to send out a Soul Master Battle Group, but the Tianhun Empire was actually willing to send out a Soul Master Battle Group and two Soul Master Battle Groups.

Something's definitely not right.

But there was no time for Xu Jiawei to think.

Inside the palace, in the imperial court, a deathly silent door radiating a luminous aura suddenly appeared.
