Chapter 573: Desperate Status, Pessimistic Xuan Lao [4000 Words]
"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true, the gap between the hard power of our two sides is too much."
Qian Chaoguang sighed deeply.
High-end armed forces, low-end armed forces, productive forces, war heritage, scientific and technological heritage, people's quality of life, and even ideological and educational systems......
Compared to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, the Sun and Moon Empire was crushed.
And it's a thorough multi-dimensional explosion.
Unless you really pull out the Immortal Empire, or come to a god-level combat power to carry out a mechanical séance, and single-handedly beat the entire Sun and Moon Empire to the point of extinction.
Otherwise, there is no solution.
Oh, or if there is a system or something like that at this time, it would be possible to send a prop that can make the Sun and Moon Empire disappear collectively.
But that's a bit of a pipe dream.
"Even if there is no such thing as the beast tide, what if Shrek has many old men rushing to help Heaven Dou City? Fulfill the wish of the Heavenly Soul Emperor, there is nothing wrong with it. But the problem is, we can keep it for a while, but we can't keep it for a lifetime."
"Once dragged into the quagmire of war, we will no longer have the initiative and can only be tired of defending. The border that needs to be guarded is too long, and even Super Douluo will be exhausted."
"What's more, if Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui flew directly to the capitals of the two empires of Dou Ling and Xingluo to carry out the beheading plan, then what should we stop? Who can stop them?"
"Extreme Douluo, Extreme Douluo...... Alas, it's no wonder that the Sun and Moon Empire has to wait for the dragon god to go before making a move, this is an unsolvable situation." The voice of the poisonous immortal looked very lost, "That's it......"
......
The next day, the long trumpet sounded again.
Countless soldiers stood on the city wall in unison.
After an afternoon and an overnight rush of emergency repairs, the huge wound that was blasted open yesterday has been temporarily closed by various means.
The cracks in the wall itself have also been repaired to a certain extent.
It wasn't as strong as it had been, but at least it was barely complete, much stronger than the crumbling situation of the post-war period.
Originally, the soldiers on the Heavenly Soul side were ready to live and die with Heaven Dou City, and even many people were already nervous and ready to break the net with the Sun and Moon army.
But who knows, the intensity of today's war is far from comparable to yesterday's.
It's even worse than the first day.
Not only are there two fewer Beastmaster-level soul master groups, but even the ordinary soul master group is only four.
The Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Mentor Group all disappeared.
Only the Dreadclaw Soul Mentor Group and the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Regiment still soared in the sky.
As for how many ordinary soldiers came, it is not possible to count them with the naked eye.
Whether it's 200,000 or 100,000, it looks like it's all black, and you can't see the end at a glance, and you don't know how many are coming.
The Heavenly Soul Emperor and the Poison Immortal stood side by side at the head of the city, looking at the invading enemy, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Things turned out to be as Qian Chaoguang said.
From this point of view, the Sun and Moon Empire probably really let go of Heaven Dou City.
Heaven Dou City was preserved, but how could the Heavenly Soul Empire be able to defend it? ….
Nobody knows.
......
A few days later, Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong returned to Shrek City.
Returning with them were the members of the Ontology Sect who had lost their ancestral land.
Part of it, to be exact.
About a third of it.
These are basically the surviving elites and wounded of the younger generation of the Ontology Sect.
Even if they didn't want to stay on the battlefield anymore, they were taken by Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng and forced to come to Shrek City by Poison Immortal.
This included Long Aotian and Princess Vina, as well as more than a dozen young members of the Heavenly Soul Imperial Family.
Shrek Academy was brought forward by the current dean Cai Meier and personally took them into Shrek City.
Everyone knows it.
This is the tinder, the spark of the Ontology Sect and the Heavenly Soul Imperial Family.
Both the Heavenly Soul Emperor and the Poison Immortal already have the intention of supporting the orphan.
Even if they won the battle to defend Heaven Dou City and successfully contained the Sun and Moon Empire's advance plan, it still didn't help.
The Heavenly Soul Empire has reached the end of the day, and this is something that anyone can see.
The breath of life on Poseidon Lake is still so strong, but the golden ancient trees on Poseidon Island have become more and more dim.
Not only is the aura of light no longer strong, but even some of the branches are showing signs of withering.
Coming to the empty Poseidon Pavilion, all this is even more obvious.
Some of the carvings inside have taken on a grayish-black state.
Although it is still sturdy and reliable, it is a little scary to watch.
Huo Yutong raised her hand and touched the black traces, and a strong sense of twilight suddenly fed back into her spiritual sea.
Running the Eye of Fate, she could even see a thread of fate clearly.
The stout thread of fate that connected the golden ancient tree had broken more than half, and it seemed to be about to collapse at any moment.
She's dying.
"I don't know how this golden ancient tree has been withering recently, and it can't be cured by many methods."
At this time, Xuan Lao suddenly appeared in the Seagod Pavilion, his face full of exhaustion.
"But it doesn't matter anymore, compared to the safety of the Douluo Continent and the Academy, the Golden Ancient Tree is just a plant no matter what, and if it falls, it will fall."
Unlike in the original book, Moon told Xuan Lao that everything was done before he fell.
This time, because Moon learned the truth about the Golden Ancient Tree, and he had already sprouted the will to live and die, he didn't tell Xuan Lao about the so-called inheritance information.
Besides, Qian Chaoguang himself is also clear, and there is no need to pour another hand and let Xuan Lao be a mouthpiece.
Therefore, regarding the true situation of the Golden Ancient Tree and the choice of the Seagod Pavilion Masters of the past dynasties, the only people in the Shrek Academy who knew about it now were Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong.
"Xuan Lao."
The brother and sister saluted in unison.
Xuan Lao waved his hand: "Sit down, there are no outsiders here now, let me relax a little." The situation on the continent suddenly became so unbearable, the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Fighting Soul Beast each had their own ghosts, and it was almost fatal. Tell me, what was the battle in Heaven Dou City?"
Qian Zhaoguang organized the language, and with Huo Yutong's supplement, he completely told the details of the battle in Heaven Dou City. ….
After listening to the words of the two, Xuan Lao's face became even more ugly.
"Do you know the current situation of the Heavenly Soul Empire in the past few days since you returned from Heaven Dou City?"
Qian Zhaoguang shook his head, "Time is pressing, I didn't go to get this information. But even if you guess, you can guess it, I'm afraid the Sun and Moon Empire is like a bamboo."
Xuan Lao sighed deeply, "You are right, just as you predicted a year and a half ago, the Sun and Moon Empire changed from the Eastern Expedition to the North, directly bypassing Heaven Dou City."
"In the past few days since your return, the Sun and Moon Empire has not only increased its troops for the second time, but it seems that it has also added new equipment. The Heavenly Soul Empire has collapsed for thousands of miles, and it has already lost more than one-third of its territory."
"Compared to the previous steady progress, the Sun and Moon Empire is now like a monkey that has been beaten up, and it urgently needs some goals to vent its anger."
"For this reason, they no longer even waited for the arrival of the troops and officials who would take over the city in the future, and kept advancing frantically in the northeast direction, and even almost broke through the entire northern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire."
"Now, the tug-of-war in Heaven Dou City continues, and the Douling Empire has once again sent a batch of reinforcements to support the Heavenly Soul Empire. But if they follow this pattern, it will be difficult for them to hold on."
The siblings weren't surprised.
As early as the first day of the Heaven Dou City Guardian War, thousand
Chaoguang had already judged the situation in advance and made arrangements for it to a certain extent.
Even he knew exactly what the other party was so eager to do—to advance to Dragon City in the northeast and open a mine on the edge of the Far North.
There was too much time to lose, and they were rushing to make progress.
For this reason, the main battle force led by Tangerine couldn't even take care of the local soul master sect to form a new army, and could only leave it to the follow-up troops to finish the work.
As for the Douling Empire sending a large army into the Heavenly Soul, that was also a normal situation.
The Emperor of the Douling Empire just lacks long-term vision, and he is not really pure brain-dead.
With such a fierce offensive from the Sun and Moon Empire, of course he could see that he had to unite to resist it.
In this way, it is obviously the best choice to keep the strong enemy out of the country and place the main battlefield in the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Why not do it without harming your own people and land, and if you can defend yourself from thousands of miles away?
If the Heavenly Soul is destroyed, they will be like the Star Luo Empire, ready to withstand the bombardment of the Sun and Moon Empire at any time.
As for leading Shrek to the aid as he did thousands of years ago?
Before learning about the beast tide, Xuan Lao did think about it.
After all, it was because of the intervention of Shrek Academy that he finally won the so-called holy war, and even lost the name of Sun Moon Continent.
But for now, forget it.
Many of Shrek's elders have all been busy, and with the cooperation of the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce, they are frantically arming the Shrek City Defenses.
Countless soul guides have been moved to the head of Shrek City, and boxes and boxes of customized soul guide shells have been stuffed into the combat readiness warehouse, I am afraid that when the soul beasts will come with a slap on the head, I am not prepared.
This is also the reason why the entire Poseidon Pavilion, and even the entire inner courtyard, seem a little deserted - almost everyone has gone to help. ….
Shrek was already a little too busy to take care of himself, and put all his energy on resisting the beast tide, not to mention helping others.
"By the way, aren't you going to come to Shrek City if you don't die? The Sun and Moon Empire's offensive is slowing down, so he shouldn't be needed over there now, right?" Xuan Lao asked.
Huo Yutong shook his head slightly: "The teacher is a member of the Heavenly Soul Empire, even if he knows that he is invincible, he will fight until the last moment."
"Alas, this old stubborn ......"
Xuan Lao sighed deeply.
"I hope that when the beast tide comes, he will be able to free up his hands to help Shrek City. The elites of the Ontology Sect and Shrek are concentrated here, and once the city is broken, there is likely to be a fault line in our reserve talents in the future."
Qian Chaoguang took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision: "Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there will be a way."
Xuan Lao glanced at him and smiled gently, "Frankly, I'm not a good leader, and I'm not a qualified decision-maker."
"When Elder Mu was here, I lived a free and uninhibited life every day, as long as I ate and drank and cultivated, it was enough, and I was always happy."
"Ever since Elder Mu left, this burden has been on my shoulders. It was only at this time that I truly understood what kind of responsibility Mu Lao had shouldered and how much pressure he had been under over the years."
"I've always been very crude, not thoughtful enough, not comprehensive enough. In many cases, he does not have the courage of Mu Lao, and he is constantly interrupted."
"It would have been nice if this war of the Sun and Moon Empire had started decades later! At that time, you and Xiao Hitomi must have grown up, and this old man can also throw this burden to you with confidence."
"You brother and sister working together must be much better than what a bad old man like me can do."
Speaking of this, the vicissitudes of life on Xuan Lao's face were full of strong self-deprecation and bitterness.
"If you can't do it in the end, then you two must live. When your cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the world, if you still have the strength to spare, then consider whether to rebuild the academy."
Xuan Lao: this
The words were extremely pessimistic, and it could almost be regarded as an explanation of the aftermath - he was already thinking about what to do after Shrek's demise.
Even if Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er didn't tell Xuan Lao all the soul guide essence of the Sun and Moon Empire, he could still see that the Three Kingdoms of Douluo were already in decline.
The gap is really too big.
The big one made him feel hopeless.
It's only been a month, and the Heavenly Soul Empire has been beaten back and forth by the Sun and Moon army.
It was true that Heaven Dou City had been defended, but this looked more like a "gift" from the Sun and Moon Empire.
In just one night, the Star Luo Empire, which had consolidated the Ming Dou Mountain Range for thousands of years, changed hands.
Dai Hao, the Duke of the White Tiger, did organize a counterattack, but it was like a lion who was too lazy to drive away the disturbing mosquitoes when he was sleeping.
Does all this really make sense......
The strength comparison between the two sides is completely overwhelming.
Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and tenth-level soul master Kong Deming.
Just these three extreme combat powers of the Sun and Moon Empire have already made Shrek full of sorrow.
Now I have to worry about the five fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest launching a beast tide.
Even if you exclude the Jade Swan Brigitte, who is not good at attacking, this still has two extreme level combat power.
Among them, the beast god Emperor Tian is recognized as the strongest person in the world.
What does Shrek block?
Even with the addition of the Ontology Sect, Xuan Lao was not sure that he would be able to defend Shrek City.
Therefore, on the night when Qian Chaoguang revealed the beast tide, Xuan Lao was ready to sacrifice for Shrek.
Even if he died, he had to keep the future of the academy and leave behind the spark that could ignite the prairie fire.
Qian Chaoguang's eyes kept flickering, and one thought after another flashed through his mind.
Xuan Lao patted him on the shoulder: "What I said just now is a bit too much, now the old man is still alive, and I still have the pressure to bear." After running around for so long, let's go back and rest first, there are probably piles of problems waiting for you to deal with in your chamber of commerce."
(I feel that the recovery is OK, there should be no problem with 4,000 a day in the past two days, and strive to return Argentina to win the championship next week)
