Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 751 Duke White Tiger (6K)

When lust takes over, they're all off, they just pull up their pants and leave, ignoring everything at home. The concept of responsibility doesn't exist in their minds, and the idea of ​​management only applies to those in the military.

It can be said that if Dai Hao had even the slightest bit of humanity and had been willing to fulfill even the slightest bit of responsibility, Huo Yun'er wouldn't have suffered so much, suffering from a host of ailments that required the intervention of the elders of Shrek Academy to cure.

Huo Yuhao flipped his wrist and played with the White Tiger Dagger that Dai Hao had given to Huo Yun'er, which Huo Yun'er then handed to her for self-defense.

Dai Hao should be saved, of course he should be saved. Keeping him alive to fight against the Sun Moon Empire in the future is beneficial to his future plans.

However, Huo Yuhao will also find a suitable time, when he no longer needs this person, to capture him, extract his soul, and see why this person gave him the White Tiger Dagger.

Why give a dagger of all things?

Was this dagger a keepsake for Huo Yun'er, or a wish for her mother to commit suicide?

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's gaze toward Dai Hao's tent was filled with murderous intent, but he still remained calm.

Despite his murderous intent, Dai Hao is still useful. Having fought for so many years, he is quite experienced in resisting the Sun and Moon.

Since that's all the stuff the other person has, let's leave it for them to use.

At this moment, Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er looked at Huo Yuhao with some concern. They both knew about Huo Yuhao's background, so they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had regained his composure, the two women breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly at the two women, indicating that they didn't need to worry about him, before starting his mental scan and connecting the two women to the system.

Soon, the feedback from the mental detection was imprinted in his mind.

Duke White Tiger led four guards at the forefront.

Through mental detection, Huo Yuhao could vaguely sense that the four guards were at least at the sixth ring level. Add to that the White Tiger Duke's eighth-ring Soul Douluo level strength, and they were definitely a formidable force.

The White Tiger Guards around him were mostly Soul Masters, though not very strong. Some of them, such as the squad leaders, were at least at the second or third ring level.

For ordinary armies, the White Tiger Guards are the elite of the elite. Their steel torrent is so powerful that even a Soul Master with the strength of the fourth or fifth ring might not dare to confront them head-on.

However, not all of the White Tiger Guards can be Soul Masters!

The number of Soul Masters is a problem for any country.

Even if the Sun Moon Empire gathered the strength of the entire nation, it could only form a handful of Soul Master Legions.

The situation where so many top-tier Soul Masters gathered in Mingdu at once is extremely rare on the continent.

During the attack on the imperial palace in Mingdu, probably more than a third of the continent's strongest warriors gathered there.

After assessing the overall strength of his side, Huo Yuhao made some judgments.

Dai Hao walked at the front, not very fast.

A group of a hundred people, clad in silver-white armor, stood out conspicuously in the night, their synchronized metallic clanging echoing throughout the Mingdou Mountains.

To prepare for a potential war launched by the Sun and Moon factions, the Star Luo Empire deployed a large army in the Mingdou Mountains.

Duke Baihu, stationed in the Mingdou Mountains, commands the entire Western Military Region and serves as the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, making him arguably the most important minister of the Star Luo Empire.

The Mingdou Mountains stretch southward from the tri-border area of ​​the Star Luo Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Sun Moon Empire, extending for thousands of miles and almost spanning the entire border between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire.

It can be said that the main part of this mountain range is concentrated on the border of the Star Luo Empire, becoming a natural barrier separating the two countries.

It is precisely because of these natural defenses that Xingluo has been able to live a carefree life for thousands of years.

The Heavenly Soul side was rather unlucky; the Mingdou Mountains were just a string of small mounds to them, and not even very long.

Apart from a few less important areas, the rest is all the vast Lima Plain, where one can ride a horse all the way from Sun Moon territory to Tian Dou City without any obstacles.

It has virtually no natural defenses and its geographical location is extremely poor.

This is why the Heavenly Soul Empire was more eager to assassinate Xu Tianran than the Star Luo Empire. If they weren't, the Sun Moon Empire would really launch a massive war, and the Heavenly Soul Empire, with no natural defenses, would probably be overrun in twenty-eight days.

In other words, the Douling Empire is even more useless than the Tianhun Empire; otherwise, the Tianhun Empire might have had to worry about the two sides signing some kind of non-aggression pact between the Sun and Moon Douling Empires.

Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger sat upright on his white tiger steed, letting it gallop at full speed while he remained completely still.

The main reason he came out to inspect was because the Sun Moon Empire was unstable.

The Sun Moon Empire has been plotting for a long time, and war has been on the verge of breaking out. On the Star Luo Empire's side, heavy troops have been deployed at all major passes.

However, according to news from the Sun Moon Empire, the war will last at least several more months. The Sun Moon Empire will need to make sufficient preparations and mobilize more troops to the border before it can be launched.

But just today, Dai Hao suddenly received some shocking news.

The Sun and Moon Emperor has passed away, Crown Prince Xu Tianran has been assassinated and his fate is unknown, almost all members of the royal family in the capital have been wiped out, and even the defense system within the imperial city has been completely destroyed, resulting in a direct loss of up to 3 billion gold soul coins.

The Sun Moon Empire officially announced that the explosion was related to the Star Luo Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Body Sect, but did not say much more or explain any details.

Dai Hao initially thought it was a frame-up, a blatant slander.

But Xu Jiujiu clearly told him that it was true.

It was indeed the result of the combined efforts of several parties.

Shrek was even involved.

As a result, the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire will inevitably be plunged into internal strife for the time being.

This news is definitely great news for the Star Luo Empire.

The possibility of a full-scale war has become virtually zero. This gives the Star Luo Empire more time to prepare for war.

In recent years, the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent have also attached increasing importance to the development of soul tools.

Duke White Tiger was no exception.

He was unable to participate in the production of soul tools, but he increasingly valued their role in the war.

Not long ago, the arrival of several sample soul tools greatly excited Duke White Tiger.

Those were some of the hidden weapons produced by the Tang Clan that used sealed milk bottles. These new hidden weapons from the Tang Clan were not only extremely powerful, but more importantly, once the sealed milk bottle was fully charged, even ordinary soldiers could operate them.

Although it is currently quite troublesome to maintain, especially due to its reliance on fixed-load soul-guided shells and the need for regular recharging.

However, if a large number of these soul-guided cannons were deployed, and the advantageous terrain of the Mingdou Mountains were utilized, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to the Star Luo Empire's garrison.
