Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 479 Delegation of Power

Xuanzi personally named this newly established Soul Master Corps the Shrek Soul Master Corps. It was equipped not only with the finest Soul Guidance Devices, but also with Level 8 fixed-position Soul Guidance Cannons and shells. They wanted to build the strongest Soul Master Corps to challenge the Sun Moon Empire.

Ten Title Douluo, including Xian Lin'er, a Super Douluo. Even the most powerful Royal Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire, the Guardian Hand, would not have so many Title Douluo in charge. Moreover, although this Soul Master Corps only has two hundred members, they are all at the Soul Emperor level or above. This is a grand gesture that the Sun Moon Empire simply cannot match.

The Star Luo Empire could do that, but it was an empire, while Shrek Academy was just an academy with only one city. The difference between them was obvious to anyone with eyes to see.

Once such a Soul Master Corps is established, it probably wouldn't be at a disadvantage even against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, the strongest in the Sun Moon Empire.

However, given Shrek Academy's production capacity, such a massive project would likely take at least another six months to fully equip the Soul Master Corps with Soul Guidance Devices.

The remaining two Soul Master Corps are: the Heavy Artillery Soul Master Corps, whose main equipment is the Tang Sect's Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon, with a strength of one thousand people; and the Turret Soul Master Corps, which consists of one thousand five hundred Soul Masters. Relatively speaking, the cultivation level of these Soul Masters is lower. The main Soul Guidance Device they are equipped with is the all-terrain self-propelled turret, which was improved by Fan Yu, the vice dean of the Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department, based on the Soul Guidance Device of the Sun Moon Empire. Each all-terrain self-propelled turret has a maximum capacity of five people. Therefore, the Turret Soul Master Corps is equipped with three hundred all-terrain self-propelled turrets.

Shrek Academy is going to spare no expense to establish three Soul Master Corps, which will consist of a total of 2,700 Soul Masters, including at least ten Title Douluos. This is almost all the strength that Shrek Academy can mobilize.

The Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.

"My lord, humanity is now embroiled in civil war. Is there anything we should do?"

Di Tian, ​​dressed in a black robe, respectfully inquired of a silver-haired, purple-eyed girl.

Gu Yuena stood atop the Zizai Gate tower, her pale purple eyes, calm and serene, watching Nan Qiuqiu greet the group entering the Zizai Gate below. The group was led by a beautiful woman with pink hair, whom Gu Yuena recognized as Nan Shuishui, the sect leader of the Dilong Gate, and her disciples.

Because the Earth Dragon Sect's headquarters, Dragon City, was captured by the Sun Moon Empire, Nan Shuishui led the Earth Dragon Sect disciples to evacuate from Dragon City and come to Xingluo City to seek refuge with the Zizai Sect.

Upon hearing Di Tian's words, Gu Yuena fell into deep thought. Rationally speaking, civil war among humans was a great thing for their soul beast race, and she was happy to see it happen. Moreover, humans would inevitably fall into a period of weakness after the civil war, which was a good opportunity to eliminate them. However, emotionally speaking, the thought of facing Ji Lin and Chi Yuan on the battlefield made her feel a little irritable.

Finally, Gu Yuena took a deep breath and said, "Let's wait and see. Even if we have to take action, it should be when both humans are severely injured. Besides, the auspicious beast has fallen in love with that human, and she possesses the power of destiny of the Star Dou Great Forest. We have to consider her feelings."

Di Tian frowned and said, "Should we help the original Douluo Three Kingdoms? I don't think they are a match for the Sun Moon Empire. A unified human empire is too much of a threat to us!"

"No need. If the three great empires are really destroyed by the Sun Moon Empire, then we will take action immediately to destroy the Sun Moon Empire. In that case, the auspicious beast should not object."

Gu Yuena shook her head. Wang Qiu'er only cared about Ji Lin. As long as Ji Lin wasn't harmed, she wouldn't object even if the soul beasts wiped out humanity.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Since Ji Lin helped the Star Luo Empire break through the Mingdou Mountain Range defense line, the Star Luo Empire launched a full-scale offensive against the Sun Moon Empire's homeland. Although the pace of advance was not fast, the harassment effect was still achieved, forcing the Sun Moon Empire to divert troops to reinforce, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Heavenly Soul Empire. The Heavenly Soul Empire also joined forces with the Douling Empire's reinforcements to withstand the Sun Moon Empire's offensive as much as possible. Although the territory occupied by the Sun Moon Empire was still increasing, the speed was far slower than at the beginning.

As the battle situation gradually stabilized, Ji Lin and Xu Jiujiu returned to Xingluo City. As for the six Soul Master Legions, Xu Jiujiu finally decided to hand them over to Duke Baihu for command. During this time, Xu Jiujiu fully realized that she did not have the talent. Although she had read many military books, the actual operation was completely different from what was written in the books. Rather than holding on to the power in her hands, she should trust Duke Baihu and hand over the military power to him.

Without Ji Lin's plan, even if Xu Jiujiu was incompetent, she wouldn't easily hand over all military power to Duke Baihu. But with Ji Lin's plan and the trump card currently under research, six Soul Master Legions are nothing. Moreover, after spending time together, she understood why Xu Jiawei trusted Duke Baihu so much. He wasn't the kind of ambitious person. If he really had that ambition, he wouldn't be thinking of sharing life and death with his brothers.

So she wrote to Xu Jiawei, and with his consent, she handed over command of the six Soul Master Legions to Duke Baihu, and then returned to Xingluo City with Ji Lin.

When Duke Baihu first received command of the six Soul Master Legions, he was quite surprised, but it was quickly replaced by joy. He was not happy because he had more troops under his command, but because with these six Soul Master Legions, he could send more troops to attack the Sun Moon Empire's homeland.

At the same time, he was also deeply moved. He was not a fool. After Xu Jiujiu handed over six Soul Master Legions to him, he would have command of eight Soul Master Legions, and even command of eight Title Douluo. Xu Jiujiu must have obtained Xu Jiawei's consent to do so. This represented His Majesty the Emperor's trust in him. This was eighty percent of the Star Luo Empire's Soul Master Force!

Of course, due to the information gap, he didn't know that Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu entrusted the Soul Master Legion to him because they had stronger power in their hands, and at the same time, they were trying to win people's hearts.

Unaware of the situation, Duke White Tiger is now obsessed with the idea of ​​dying for one's confidant and has decided to fight to the death to protect the Star Luo Empire.

In terms of strategy and tactics, Duke White Tiger was by no means inferior to the commanders of the Sun Moon Empire. Although he was wary of Death God Douluo Ye Xishui, Ye Xishui could not possibly take care of the entire battlefield by himself. Therefore, Duke White Tiger Dai Hao formulated a strategy of dispersed attacks. Taking advantage of the Sun Moon Empire's weak internal forces, he broke up the Soul Master Legion into small teams to carry out large-scale harassment against the Sun Moon Empire. No matter how strong Ye Xishui's personal strength was, he could not take care of all aspects. This tactic did indeed achieve certain results.

Upon returning to Zizai Sect, Ji Lin naturally met with Nan Shuishui, the sect leader of Dilong Sect. From her, he learned a great deal. When the Sun Moon Empire attacked Dragon City, Tianlong Douluo of Tianlong Sect led his disciples in a desperate battle, ultimately dying in Dragon City. Most of the Tianlong Sect disciples also perished in the battle. Only the young master of Tianlong Sect, Yu Tianlong, did not appear on the battlefield. He must have been sent away beforehand by Tianlong Douluo's arrangements. Although Tianlong Douluo decided to live and die with Dragon City, he also left behind a seed for Tianlong Sect, preventing the sect from being completely extinguished.

Dragon City, the largest city in the northern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire, ultimately fell into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire. The Heavenly Dragon Gate and the Earthly Dragon Gate were once the representatives of Dragon City, but compared with the powerful army of the Sun Moon Empire, they were ultimately outmatched.

The Earth Dragon Gate, having anticipated the situation, had already transferred most of its resources and disciples to Star Luo City under the leadership of Nan Shuishui, leaving only a small amount of supplies, so the impact was not significant.

It's a pity about Tianlongmen. Ji Lin still clearly remembers the powerful strength displayed by Yu Tianlong, the captain of Tianlongmen, at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Youth Elite Competition held in Mingdu. His pure Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul was exceptionally powerful.

The strength of the Heavenly Dragon Gate far surpasses that of the Earthly Dragon Gate. Although it is not as powerful as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan from ten thousand years ago, it is still considered a first-rate sect.

When Nan Shuishui said this, there was a look of regret in her eyes. She actually wanted to stay and protect Dragon City with Tianlong Douluo, but when she thought of Nan Qiuqiu, she finally led the Earth Dragon Gate to retreat from Dragon City.

Ji Lin's eyes also held admiration. Although he couldn't reach the level of Tianlong Douluo, he had always admired heroic figures like Tianlong Douluo. Although many people might think such people were stubborn, inflexible, rigid, or even foolish, if they asked themselves honestly, how many people could reach the level of Tianlong Douluo? Even the Sun Moon Empire, as his opponent, admired such a person from the bottom of their hearts, rather than mocking his foolishness.

Ji Lin recalled that ten thousand years ago, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also experienced a calamity of annihilation, leaving only two successors. One of them passed on the legacy to the current Heavenly Dragon Gate. Today, the Dragon Gate has also been destroyed, but fortunately, Yu Tianlong, the strongest successor of the Heavenly Dragon Gate in this generation, has survived.

Ji Lin estimated that Yu Tianlong would not appear on the continent, nor would he seek revenge against the Sun Moon Empire, because he had a more important mission: to pass on the Heavenly Dragon Sect. No matter how much hatred he harbored, he had to suppress it. He would not show his face again until the Heavenly Dragon Sect was rebuilt.

From the South Waterway, Ji Lin learned that after the Sun Moon Empire occupied two-thirds of the Heavenly Soul Empire's land, it continued to expand and invade territory from the north.

Ji Lin understood why the Sun Moon Empire made this choice. One reason was that in the north, ordinary soldiers would have difficulty withstanding the severe cold, making the battle more advantageous for the Soul Master Corps. Even the Fighting Spirit Empire would find it difficult to provide the Heavenly Soul Empire with much support. The other reason, of course, was Shrek Academy.
