Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 853 Testing the Waters? (6K)

Faced with his father's scolding, Dai Yueheng realized he had spoken out of turn, his face paled, and he hurriedly left the command post.

"I apologize; I have failed in my parenting, and I apologize for making you all laugh at me."

After kicking his stupid son out, Dai Hao looked at Xu Jiujiu with a questioning expression:

"Your Highness, given the current situation, shouldn't we send out a small force of elite soldiers to probe the area first?"

"If the findings from Shrek are entirely accurate, we can try to organize a counterattack to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao."

"With this opening in the Mingdou Mountains, we can't send more soldiers to support the Tianhun Empire. Besides, if everything is as Shrek says, it's already too late for us to deploy troops now."

"Furthermore, I suggest that the reinforcements from the Douling Empire be diverted immediately and head north together with the major Soul Master Corps to the border to support the Tianhun Empire."

"The Marshal's analysis is very accurate. We should act according to his advice. We will first send out a small force to probe the area."

Listening to Dai Hao's analysis and strategies, Xu Jiujiu nodded repeatedly.

"Regarding the reinforcements sent by the Douling Empire, I lack the authority to command them. Everything must be discussed with my elder brother before a decision can be made. Before that, why don't we discuss the current situation?"

Seeing the hidden meaning in Xu Jiujiu's words, Dai Hao continued to echo:

"Your Highness is absolutely right. I believe we should immediately dispatch a team of top-tier Soul Masters to take advantage of the enemy's lack of awareness and clear out the detection Soul Guidance Devices above. Once we have eliminated all their information gathering channels, we can then proceed with our plans at a more gradual pace."

"No, I think we should strike immediately!"

Xu Jiujiu's attitude suddenly became firm.

"I think we should assemble a commando team composed of Soul Masters at the Soul Saint level and above, and launch a swift attack according to the firepower distribution map brought by Xiaoyun. We should destroy their Soul Guidance Device positions, reclaim the Mingdou Mountains, and make the Sun Moon Empire hesitant to act."

"I propose that we concentrate the entire army's strength and send 500 Soul Saints, with Soul Douluos and Title Douluos as the spearhead, to bypass the densely armed points and head straight for the western side of the Mingdou Mountains to recapture the breach and defensive position that was blown up. Only in this way can we regain the initiative."

Upon hearing that there was no trace of the army on the border between the sun and moon, Xu Jiujiu's heart became somewhat unsettled.

Although she was still young, her long exposure to the world had made her clear-headed.

If the Heavenly Soul Empire is conquered, what awaits Xingluo and Douling is separate defeat and slow death.

That's why she strongly advocated sending experts at the Soul Saint level or above to launch probing attacks, weaken the Sun Moon Empire's defenses, and then achieve a decisive victory.

Dai Hao, a seasoned veteran of many battles, naturally disagreed with such a rash and impulsive battle plan.

If we rush in headfirst, wouldn't that be like handing ourselves over?

However, the other party is not only a princess, but also has command authority over several Soul Master Corps.

If she's really determined to do this, Dai Hao can't stop her.

After all, no matter what, the command of several Soul Master groups is in Xu Jiujiu's hands.

Left with no other option, he turned to Xu Yun: "Xiao Yun, do you have any other suggestions? Should we add something to our probing plan this time?"

"Duke, in my opinion, this probing plan should be canceled immediately."

Princess Xu Yun's face showed a hint of helplessness.

Like a stone thrown into a still pond, Xu Yun's words caused a huge uproar in the command post.

Finally, she added, "No matter how many people we send up now, or what level of experts we send, it will only be a pointless sacrifice of our lives."

A legion commander with the cultivation level of a Contra Douluo couldn't help but speak up: "Xu Yun, there is no joking in the army. Princess Yun, please have some self-respect."

After a long pause, he waved his hand to stop the other party from questioning him.

She looked in Xu Yun's direction and said in a deep voice, "Can you explain your reasoning?"

"The reason why that senior from Shrek Academy left in a hurry after gathering intelligence in the Mingdou Mountains is because of this."

"The being who ventured deep into the Mingdou Mountains today is none other than Shrek Academy's Azure Shadow Divine Eagle. According to her, Her Majesty the Divine Eagle sensed a terrifying soul tool that could threaten her life deep within the Mingdou Mountains."

"Let alone a titled leader leading the team, even if five hundred Soul Saints came out in full force, it would probably be of no use against such a terrifying soul tool, even if the number of people doubled."

Upon hearing Princess Xu Yun's words, everyone gasped in shock.

His Majesty the Divine Eagle is a powerful figure who reached the Super Douluo realm many years ago. Currently, he has at least level 96 in soul power cultivation, and level 97 is not impossible.

Such a powerful being, who has few rivals in the world today, was actually scared off by a soul tool?

"Not only that," Princess Xu Yun continued, "In addition, His Majesty the Divine Eagle also sensed the aura of a top-tier expert. Judging from His Majesty the Divine Eagle's reaction, that person's strength is probably at least a level 98 Super Douluo."

"I ask you, which of you seniors is confident that you can survive the combined attack of this terrifying soul tool and that super strong expert?"

The officers lowered their heads, their facial expressions becoming incredibly varied.

Dai Hao's face was ashen.

As the only duke in the Star Luo Empire and a powerful general, he still frowned when facing such an opponent.

"A level 98 Super Douluo, and a terrifying soul tool capable of threatening the life of a Super Douluo."

"No, it might be worse than that."

Xu Yun interrupted Dai Hao's mutterings.

"From what I've observed, His Majesty the Divine Eagle went out with an inner court student from Shrek Academy. When they returned, they landed at an extremely high altitude, and even His Majesty the Divine Eagle was covered in frost."

"In other words, these two actually fled in a panic, and the one who was stationed in the Mingdou Mountains was probably a level 99 Limit Douluo."

Upon hearing this, the officers in the command post turned deathly pale.

That's a Limit Douluo!

A look of horror appeared on Xu Jiujiu's face, disbelief written all over his face.

Xu Yun's observations were indeed meticulous enough. Even though Old Song hadn't explained things in such detail to the other party, the other party still deduced how formidable the opponent was from some clues.

What kind of being could force this super strongman, who is almost the fastest on the continent, to retreat in panic and even rush into the sky to use the power of heaven and earth to make sure he could shake off his opponent?

A level 98 Super Douluo is not qualified. The speed of the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle is unparalleled in the world. Even the Sharp-Tailed Swift Soul Master of the same level is only slightly faster than Elder Song.

Therefore, only a powerhouse at the Limit Douluo level could push Elder Song to this extent.
