Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 1102 Those who accompany the flame will ultimately perish.

How powerful would be the destructive force of sixty high-energy lasers of level six concentrated together and falling continuously?

In just a few breaths, the joint defense position that the Sun Moon Empire regarded as its trump card was slowly eroded and a small hole was formed.

Immediately afterwards, the tiny hole, no bigger than a thumb, began to fester and grow larger at an incredible speed.

A defensive position that can withstand a Super Douluo's full-force attack may not necessarily withstand a Super Douluo's attack where all of his power is concentrated on a single point.

Clearly, this is exactly what the sixty high-energy lasers that were concentrated together were.

Originally, this position of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps was the one that suffered the most intense counterattack artillery fire, and the soul power within the position was severely depleted.

Being used as a typical example by Xuan Ziwen and having his firepower concentrated on this attack, it's quite normal for the linked defensive soul tool to temporarily collapse.

The Sun Moon Empire wasn't worried about the defensive soul tools being destroyed; it was simply a matter of temporarily relocating the soul masters at this position into the trenches to pause their offensive firepower.

Even if Xuan Ziwen doesn't intervene, such a linked defensive soul tool will inevitably experience several instances of temporary breakdown due to overload in the upcoming battles.

As long as not all the linked defensive soul tools on the soul master positions collapsed, no one would think that something terrible was going to happen.

This idea was not a problem in previous wars. Even a powerful empire like the Star Luo Empire could not force its soldiers to charge into an enemy position whose defensive soul guide device had been destroyed, while being bombarded by artillery fire from other positions.

Taking advantage of this time to unleash as many soul-guided cannonballs as possible, causing as little damage as possible, is one of the few things the Star Luo Empire can do.

But this time it's different.

One after another, giant silver snakes, several meters wide and hundreds of meters long, emerged from all directions and surged toward the position of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps.

Only when you get close can you see clearly that it's not some giant silver snake at all!

Those were rows of silver, soul-guided bionic spiders, lined up and connected in a line, surging towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps' position.

The other Soul Master Corps positions reacted quickly, enduring the noise and relying on hand gestures and desperate shouts to convey their orders and block the long snakes formed by the Soul Master bionic spiders.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Fireballs rang out one after another in front of Shrek City. Each explosion meant that dozens, or even hundreds, of Soul Guided Bionic Spiders were blown away.

If we look at it from this perspective alone, this round of artillery barrage has been very effective in intercepting the Soul-Guided Bionic Spider.

What was truly disheartening was that most of the soul-guided bionic spiders that were blown away by the explosion simply rolled over quickly, got back up, and surged towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps' position with the main force.

Apart from turning a bit darker from the high temperature and rolling around, and getting some mud on them, they were otherwise unaffected, with hardly any damage.

"That's impossible!"

Many battle-hardened commanders exclaimed in astonishment amidst the noise, for those soul-guided shells that had just exploded were not just high-temperature ones!

Frost, corrosion, decomposition—all sorts of effects bombarded these Soul-Guided Bionic Spiders, yet why were the results so poor?

The reason is simple: the shells of these Soul Guide Bionic Spiders are made entirely of deep-sea sunken silver, which costs several or even more than a dozen gold soul coins per gram.

Do you remember the Mermaid Princess clan? Their clan's treasure vault was forged from deep-sea sunken silver.

This 'rare metal,' which is extremely scarce on land, is a complete joke in the deep sea.

With an almost unlimited supply of deep-sea silver, most of it was processed by the undead of the undead legion into the shells of these Soul Guide Bionic Spiders during the nearly one-year preparation period.

The excellent metallic properties of deep-sea silver were fully demonstrated in this battle.

You get what you pay for. The Soul Guide Bionic Spider, which uses deep-sea silver as its shell, costs more than 200,000 gold soul coins to manufacture.

The material cost of the outer shell alone for tens of thousands of Soul Guide Bionic Spiders of this scale exceeds two billion gold soul coins!

The saying that war is a money-burning affair is absolutely true!

In summary, if it weren't for the cheap reserves of deep-sea sunken silver and the free army of undead as manpower, the cost of these tens of thousands of Soul Guide Bionic Spiders would probably exceed 3 billion gold soul coins!

Such a huge number would require Shrek Academy to save up for over twenty years without eating or drinking to produce.

The unmanned soul-guided spider swarm was essentially a rehearsal for Huo Yuhao's war against the undead.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao squinted, looking at the battlefield in the distance, his heart as calm as still water.

He had witnessed plenty of war. During the Inner Court's war against Ashina, he was a ninja of the Divine Child and had no motivation to stop it.

Now, this is a war of aggression between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, and he will never allow the victor of this war to remain on the side of aggression.

Huo Yuhao was not worried that the Sun Moon Empire would learn and use such a terrifying weapon.

Not to mention that these tens of thousands of Soul Guided Bionic Spiders require tens of thousands of undead legion warriors to work day and night for nearly a year.

It goes without saying whether the Sun Moon Empire can actually prepare such an exaggerated amount of deep-sea sunken silver, as well as those 3 billion gold soul coins.

Simply having thousands of Shrek Academy Soul Masters, aided by mental detection, choose their own Soul Guidance Bionic Spiders and control them to join the battlefield is already something the Sun Moon Empire could not achieve.

A Limit Douluo with a mental attribute must also possess two heaven-defying soul skills: Mental Detection and Mental Detection Sharing.

If such a powerful figure truly existed in the Sun Moon Empire, the Sun Moon Empire would have already flattened the Douluo Continent, and he wouldn't have had time to grow up.

"Senior Sister Orange, those who walk alongside the flame will one day face the moment of being consumed by the fire. That day is fast approaching. Are you ready?"

Huo Yuhao sighed softly, as if he were talking to Ju Zi, or perhaps to himself.

The city guards of Shixing and Shrek subconsciously swallowed, even stopping their loading of shells.

The scene below the city wall was too shocking. Tens of thousands of Soul Guide Bionic Spiders poured into the Soul Guide Master's position and began indiscriminate killing.

As level six soul tools, these unmanned soul-guided bionic spiders, equipped with two sealed milk bottles, are no less powerful than a five-ring offensive soul king.

What's even more terrifying is that the ironclad rule of warfare—killing one is one less, killing two is a bonus—has quietly broken down in the face of these dull-witted, soul-guided bionic spiders.

Seeing their companions fall in terror after being pierced by the Soul Guidance Bionic Spider, many Soul Guidance Masters panicked and fired their Soul Guidance Devices continuously, even disregarding the basic precaution of conserving their own Soul Power.
