Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 892 Orange's Plan (4K)

"Although things seem to be looking up at the artificial spirit rings, don't get too excited yet."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's embarrassed look, Electrolux knew that the kid was also out of money, so he changed the subject and said, "It's easy to directly generate a ten-year-level spirit ring using the Sea God Pillar in the Spirit Pagoda, but the energy required to upgrade the age later is too much."

"Your teacher Xuan's ten-year soul ring was upgraded to the 100,000-year level, which consumed the soul power production capacity absorbed by the Ammonite for a whole month. It is not realistic to mass-produce high-year soul rings. Our production capacity cannot keep up at all."

"Simply put, this is a breakthrough in the laboratory. In conducting experiments, we can create soul rings that meet the standards at any cost, in order to achieve a technological breakthrough."

"However, if we want to apply it on a large scale, we need to find ways to improve the technology, reduce costs, and increase production capacity. At present, for a long time, artificial high-level spirit rings will only be a technology that can only lie in the laboratory."

Huo Yuhao nodded upon hearing this; he understood this as well, and it was perfectly normal.

More than a month later.

Two months have passed since the outbreak of the war on the mainland, and the previously chaotic situation on the mainland has gradually stabilized.

After Dai Hao shot down a large number of high-altitude detection soul guides with a do-or-die attitude, he used his army to continuously pull the Mingdou Mountains apart at the north and south ends.

After paying a heavy price, he finally managed to break through the clutches of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps.

Several thousand Soul Masters, in small teams of three, crossed the border into the Sun Moon Empire's homeland to launch a surprise attack.

This includes, but is not limited to, using fixed-position soul-guided shells to detonate city granaries, council halls, city lord's mansions, military camps, and other locations.

Even though this did not achieve particularly outstanding results under the intense monitoring of the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided detection devices, it still greatly diverted a lot of the Sun Moon Empire's energy, forcing them to send troops to suppress it.

Ye Xishui, the Limit Douluo, is indeed powerful; no one can rival him on the front lines.

But no matter how strong she is, she is only one person, and it is impossible for her to defend the Mingdou Mountains that stretch for thousands of miles by herself.

With such a long battlefront, there will always be oversights. Moreover, the reason why the Death God Soul Guidance Device was brought to the Mingdou Mountains was because Ye Xishui's condition was not good and she could not make a move at will.

Coupled with the occasional harassment from the main battlefield in the Mingdou Mountains, Dai Hao's guerrilla warfare tactics of breaking up into smaller units still brought considerable trouble to the Sun Moon Empire.

Regardless, this is the best he can do right now, and it has bought the Heavenly Soul Empire a lot of time.

The territory occupied by the Sun and Moon Empire is still increasing, but the pace has slowed down considerably, seemingly to buffer the previous forced acceleration.

In Tiandou City, the Sun Moon Empire still has 100,000 troops stationed there, and a siege battle breaks out almost every day.

Each battle yielded few results, yet they left Emperor Tianhun feeling utterly exhausted and miserable.

This is nothing short of a slow, agonizing torture.

The Sun Moon Empire uses traditional soul-guided cannons to launch soul-force attacks, while the Heavenly Soul Empire can only use fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells to withstand the attacks, resulting in enormous energy consumption.

The defenders of Tiandou City have successfully defended it.

However, while killing a thousand enemies, you also lose two thousand five hundred of your own, and you have to pay out a lot more gold soul coins.

This continued protracted conflict is like boiling a frog in lukewarm water; sooner or later, the Sun and Moon Empire will drain us dry.

The Heavenly Soul Emperor was sleepless every night, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, yet he had no way to break the deadlock.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Soul faction had no solution.

We can't just hand over the Heavenly Dou City that we've worked so hard to defend, can we?

If this is done, the Heavenly Soul will be finished, and the people's hearts will be scattered in an instant.

Several hundred kilometers northeast of Dragon City, on the outskirts of the far north, near the border of the Heavenly Soul Empire, there is currently a force of over 20,000 men stationed.

Judging from the luxurious tent and the subtle patterns, who else could it be but the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group?

Orange's elite troops.

Inside the dark red command tent in the very center was, of course, Orange.

At this moment, she was dressed in a fiery red armor, sitting high in the main seat, with a hint of pleasure on her face.

Since her expedition to the Heavenly Soul Empire, she has encountered setbacks one after another, and nothing has gone smoothly for her.

First, the scorched-earth policy implemented by the Heavenly Soul Empire severely hampered the army's advance, further exacerbating the conflict between the Sun Moon Empire and the local nobles of Heavenly Soul.

The two defeats in the battle to capture Tiandou City severely hampered the original plan, forcing the launch of the Northern Offensive ahead of schedule.

In the battle of Tiandou City, the Holy Spirit Cult deployed most of its high-end combat power, with the four Guardians of the Nation and seven Soul Master Corps all participating.

Even the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao made a move, but still failed to take down Tiandou City. Instead, he almost lost his life due to the attacks of Huo Yuhao and Du Busi.

Although Du Busi was also injured, Long Xiaoyao's injuries were clearly more serious, and even Ju Zi dared not launch another strong attack.

Putting aside the fact that conquering Tiandou City wouldn't bring in much money, if the fighting continued, who knows who would ultimately win between Long Xiaoyao and Du Busi?

If these two really decide a winner, it would be fine if Long Xiaoyao wins, but what if Du Busi wins?

This bloodthirsty bastard doesn't care about anything else when he's in a frenzy. Even when he was fighting with Long Xiaoyao, he didn't forget to wreak havoc on the soul guidance array below. Without Long Xiaoyao stopping him, this madman can kill to his heart's content all by himself.

As a result, after this battle, the prestige that Orange had accumulated in the military over the past few years plummeted.

The defeat in the siege of Tiandou City was a huge blow to her, in particular.

Those veteran generals who were already dissatisfied with her took the opportunity to attack her.

If the subsequent northern offensive had not progressed smoothly and made up for the time lost earlier, she might have faced the crisis of impeachment.

Even with Xu Tianran's support in Mingdu, the situation is not optimistic.

Finally, a planned project has been successfully completed without any disruption.

If this plan to sustain the war through war changes again, her control over the army may really be in trouble.

This will even affect her own self-confidence.

The battle at Mingdou Mountain started off well.

However, Dai Hao's subsequent desperate move caused chaos right under Ye Xishui's nose.

Taking advantage of Ye Xishui's obvious lack of skill, a large number of Soul Masters stormed into the Sun Moon Empire's homeland, specifically to cause destruction.

The number of Soul Masters who joined the Star Luo Empire was not much less than that of the Soul Masters who joined the Sun Moon Empire.

Unless it's a large-scale war, a Soul Master who's willing to risk their life can be far more destructive than a Soul Instructor.

This has caused Orange a lot of headaches, after all, she was the one who had previously requested the transfer of all the high-altitude detection soul guides in the country.

According to her, as long as the enemy is wiped out on the front line, why worry about the safety of the rear?

However, Ye Xishui and her Death God Soul Guidance Device were unable to seal off the Mingdou Mountain Range, which caused a major problem.
