Chapter 457: Sweeping the Heavenly Soul
Xu Tianran and Feng Ling both escaped the pursuit of the Fire Phoenix, but the fate of the fall of Dragon City could not be avoided.
This time, Huo Yuhao and Fire Phoenix did not choose to retreat, they took over the City Lord's Mansion and wiped out all the garrisons.
And let the fire phoenix send people to patrol day and night to maintain order in the city.
The phenomenon of the Sun Moon Empire's army maintaining order in Dragon City did not make the people in the city feel the slightest relief.
They didn't do that after they broke the city before, and any change in precedent in the war would be terrifying.
Civilians await their imminent fate with trepidation.
There is a reason why Huo Yuhao decided to settle in Dragon City.
After the Dragon City was destroyed, all the resistance forces in the entire northern territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire were uprooted, and there was no longer any strength that could threaten them.
A short break in Dragon City won't go wrong.
Another point is that they need to occupy Dragon City in order to continue to advance towards the hinterland of the Heavenly Soul.
Huo Yuhao, Tangerine and Luanfeng have completely decided on the next strategic policy after discussion.
They decided to cooperate with the border army to bulldoze the Heavenly Soul first.
It is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers, and bulldozing the entire Heavenly Soul Territory will greatly weaken the Douluo Alliance's will to fight, and weaken their war potential.
After controlling the Heavenly Soul, whether it is personnel or material reserves, the Douluo Coalition Army will be greatly reduced.
This is very important for the Sun and Moon Empire.
Since the Empire's goal is to unify the entire continent, this step has to be done anyway.
But in the process of pushing the Heavenly Soul horizontally, there are two major problems.
One is Heaven Dou City, which is the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the will to resist and the defensive force will not be too weak.
But everyone was confident that they would take it, the main forces of the Heavenly Soul Empire were concentrated on the border, and the defensive strength of Heaven Dou City was not at its peak.
A complete group of soul masters is enough to take it.
The second problem is the key point, and that is Shrek City, which is located in the realm of Heavenly Soul.
Shrek City does not belong to the Heavenly Soul, but he does sit in the Heavenly Soul Territory, and if you want to capture the entire Heavenly Soul Territory, this city is inevitable.
In this regard, Huo Yuhao told Tangerine and Luan Feng in detail about Shrek City's powerful defense system.
This city was built mainly to guard against the Star Dou Great Forest Beast Tide, and the defense force was extremely strong.
Although now because of the beginning of a new round of holy war, most of Shrek's powerhouses have been sent to the forefront to fight.
But Shrek will definitely leave enough power in Shrek City to prevent soul beasts from attacking the city for a short time, and it is impossible to come out.
It is the existence of this part of the power, Huo Yuhao does not think that a soul master group can defeat Shrek, and it must be possible with the cooperation of the army.
Shrek has been in business for 10,000 years, and Shrek City's defenses are impregnable.
The strength of a soul master group will not be stronger than one percent of a beast tide.
After discussion, Shrek City was not included in the scope of the attack for the time being, and it was considered after joining the army.
The strategy was set, and after only one day of rest in Dragon City, the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group started from Dragon City again.
It is worth mentioning that as soon as the Fire Phoenix took control of Dragon City, it immediately implemented the laws of the Sun and Moon Empire here, with the attitude that Dragon City was already a territory to which the Sun and Moon Empire belonged.
The fire phoenix showed such a gesture in order to combat the mentality of the civilians who were lucky.
It was just to tell them that it was just a small fight to kill the garrison army before, but now it is true, the Sun and Moon Empire has the ability to destroy the Heavenly Soul.
The Soul Master Regiment's march was very fast, starting from Dragon City and advancing all the way to the important cities in the Heavenly Soul Hinterland, which had been emptily defended due to border battles, without even delaying the speed of the march.
Moreover, because the speed of the march was too fast, when the attack reached the next city, the information about the fall of the previous city had not yet been transmitted.
Under such circumstances, the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group pushed all the way, and it didn't take long to come to the last city before Heaven Dou City.
As long as the city is captured, the capital of the Heavenly Soul, Heaven Dou City, will no longer be relevant before, and the road will be smooth.
This city is called Chengtian City, which means to protect Tiandou, and it is the name given when the Tiandou Empire still existed, and because the name of Tiandou City has not been moved, the name of this city has naturally not changed.
With the speed of the Fire Phoenix's march, the city would generally not have had time to be fortified.
However, due to the escape of Xu Tianran and Feng Ling, the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire finally reacted at the last moment.
On the last line of defense of Heaven Dou City, a temporary requisitioned heavy army was deployed.
It is said that it is a heavy army, but in fact, the formation of these troops is very chaotic.
Since it is a temporary requisition, it can only guarantee the quantity, but it is completely impossible to guarantee the quality.
In addition, the Heavenly Soul Emperor also transferred back several elite troops on the border front to guard Heaven Dou City.
For this kind of crisis situation with the sword hanging over the brain, no one in the top echelons of the coalition forces can say anything.
If someone says not to let the Heavenly Soul support the capital, I'm afraid this coalition will fall apart immediately.
If I don't join you, I can still use my own strength to defend against the enemy army, and when I join you, I can't even mobilize a single soldier when the capital is threatened?
In this way, who would dare to serve the coalition forces?
Therefore, while letting the Heavenly Soul Elite leave, the high-level of the coalition army tried their best to appease the Heavenly Soul and persuade them to abandon Heaven Dou City and transfer the royal family to Xingluo or Douling, because the border defense line must not be lost.
It's a pity that the efforts of the high-level of the coalition army have failed, and it is impossible for the Heavenly Soul Empire to give up Heaven Dou City so easily, this is the foundation of the Heavenly Soul.
Seeing that the situation was unstoppable, the top leaders of the coalition army immediately made a decision, gave up the Heavenly Soul Defense Line, and contracted with all their might, trying to ensure that the Star Luo Defense Line was not lost.
At the same time, the army drawn from the Heavenly Soul defense line immediately prepared for the next war, the Shrek Defense Battle.
Because after the fall of the entire Heavenly Soul Territory, the next target of the Sun and Moon Empire must be the only fortified city in the Heavenly Soul Empire, Shrek City.
This will be the next defensive focus for the coalition forces.
At the same time, the border between Dou Ling and Heavenly Soul must also be heavily armed, otherwise Dou Ling will soon fall.
This decision is undoubtedly a remedy, and once the soul is lost, the entire coalition defense line will fall short, and the Sun and Moon Empire can attack and retreat, and will occupy a completely active position.
The remaining two empires will be in an even more difficult situation.
That's right, no one believed that the Heavenly Soul would defend Heaven Dou City.
Maybe even they don't believe it, but this strategy of retreating without a fight is unlikely to be accepted by anyone.
This is the capital of an empire, and if even the capital is abandoned, there will be no need for this empire to exist.
No force belonging to the Heavenly Soul Empire can expect high combat effectiveness, and those who can even give up their own homes will vent to the end when this breath is vented.
Therefore, a doomed result, but it still has to be buried with many people.
This is not an absolutely rational approach, but there is no way, the most rational approach is not necessarily the most appropriate.
But all of this takes time, and if the Fire Phoenix knocks down Heaven Dou City before the reinforcements transferred back from the Heavenly Soul Empire arrive, then the result will be different.
The meaning of active abandonment and passive abandonment is not the same, and Heaven Dou City may have a better result if it is attacked and defeated by the Fire Phoenix first.
In this way, the Heavenly Soul has a suitable reason to give up Tiandou.
But the fire phoenix outside Chengtian City didn't think so.
From Dragon City to here, the battle line of the Fire Phoenix is very long, and although they have contributed too many important cities, this also makes their situation dangerous.
They are in the absolute hinterland of the Heavenly Soul, and if they are surrounded here, perhaps the entire division will be wiped out.
Therefore, the clever Huo Yuhao and the others had already decided that Chengtian was the last city they attacked.
After capturing Chengtian, he immediately hid and waited to join the large army.
Although Heaven Dou City is very empty now, it cannot be captured without the assistance of a large army.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao and they made such a decision.
The miscellaneous armies temporarily dispatched by Chengtian are really difficult to compete with the elite of the elite, the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group.
After paying a huge price in casualties, they finally escaped from the hands of the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Group in embarrassment and fled back to Heaven Dou City in embarrassment.
However, after the delay of Chengtian City, Heaven Dou City successfully dragged the arrival of the first batch of reinforcements.
They are the forces of the Ontology sect.
The Ontology Sect is now the state religion of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the capital is in danger, so they may be indifferent.
Therefore, when they learned the news, they were the first to rush over, and they were also the fastest troops.
With the help of the Ontology Sect, the Heavenly Soul Emperor finally had a little confidence to defend Heaven Dou City.
But what he didn't expect was that after capturing Chengtian, the Fire Phoenix only had a short rest there and left immediately.
There is no desire to attack Tiandou.
But if the Fire Phoenix doesn't come, it doesn't mean that the pressure of Heaven Dou City has disappeared.
Because what followed was the army of the sun and moon that entered the country of the heavenly soul after the collapse of the Heavenly Soul Border.
The Heavenly Soul Emperor withdrew not just one army on the border, but several elites.
Originally, in the face of the scientific and technological crushing of the Sun and Moon Empire, the defense line on the border was very difficult, and several elites were withdrawn, who could resist the army of Sun and Moon on the border front?
The Heavenly Soul Empire was centered on Heaven Dou City, half of which was pushed horizontally from the north by Huo Yuhao with the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group, and the other half was swept from the west by the Sun and Moon Army.
Most of the entire border of the Heavenly Soul has fallen, and the cities that Huo Yuhao and they have captured before are finally under the control of the army of the Sun and Moon Empire at this time.
Now, there is only one Heaven Dou City left in the Heavenly Soul Empire, one is Shrek City on the southeast border, and two cities with defensive value.
And all this is because of the results obtained by Huo Yuhao and the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Group by smuggling into the northern realm.
Xu Han Mingle blossomed, and the original stalemate was immediately broken, and the Heavenly Soul Empire took the initiative to give up the border danger due to the pressure of the capital.
The Sun and Moon army did not suffer much loss, and chased the retreating army of the Heavenly Soul all the way to the foot of Heaven Dou City.
Once the Heaven Dou City is broken, it will be the greatest credit in the three thousand years since the Sun Moon Empire and the Douluo Continent collided!
Xu Hanming couldn't wait to leave his name in the history books, so at the beginning of the war, he ordered his troops to start the onslaught.
At this time, the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group had successfully joined Xu Hanming, and the order they had received again was to attack the north gate of Heaven Dou City.
And those who participated in this battle, in addition to them, there was another soul master group, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Group.
In order to ensure the victory of the war and the quick end of the war, Xu Hanming invested two soul master groups in this battle at once, and the other two were arranged on the border with Xingluo to guard against the coalition forces there.
On the day of the main attack, Huo Yuhao was still in the establishment of the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group.
He observed the coalition forces in the direction of Heaven Dou City with a scrutinizing gaze, and found that the troops here were mainly the powerhouses of Haotian Sect.
Needless to say, the other main direction of attack is naturally dominated by the powerhouses of the Ontology Sect.
Huo Yuhao was originally a little jealous of Haotian Sect, thinking that they would be very terrible if they lived in seclusion for ten thousand years, but now it seems that they are not as strong as he imagined.
In the entire war, Haotian Sect did not have an Extreme Douluo appearing, and the most powerful of them was the ninety-eighth-level Super Douluo on the city wall, Tang Ye.
He is strong, but not so strong, he does not have the strength to change the situation on the battlefield.
A huge hammer that seemed to be able to cover the sky and the sun fell into the formation of the Fire Phoenix, but it did not cause any damage, and Tang Ye could not defeat the Fire Phoenix by himself.
After Tang Ye's attack, Luan Feng began to counterattack, she calmly commanded the Fire Phoenix to start attacking, and the powerful destructive power was vented on the northern wall of Heaven Dou City.
Tang Ye's face was solemn, compared to the attack power of the Soul Master Group, the Haotian Hammer looked dull.
Times have really changed, this is the biggest truth that Tang Ye has realized in the battle with the Sun and Moon Empire these days.
On the border battlefield, he had dealt with the soul master more than once, and the cultivation of those people was obviously much weaker than him, but he was able to fight with him back and forth.
His attacks hit the soul masters, and they could all be blocked by an almost transparent shield lit up on their bodies, but their casual blows could burst out with a power that was not weaker than their own.
Those soul masters don't even have the power of Super Douluo!
Tang Ye fell into a deep confusion.
The dark green brilliance passed through the refraction of the bright armor on the body of the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Group and entered Tang Ye's eyes.
That was in the other direction, the Ontology Sect Sect Master, Poison Immortal, was attacking with all his might.
But even if he was as powerful as poison and immortal, his power occupied half of the sky, and the dark green brilliance was everywhere, he still couldn't help the team of soul masters opposite him.
It's just that the legion composed of some miscellaneous fish-like soul masters in his eyes is enough to compete with a Super Douluo who has almost cultivated to the extreme of human beings.
And it is said that these people can really fight against Extreme Douluo without being defeated.
This was impossible to imagine in the previous world.
Even the full strength of the poisonous immortal can't protect Heaven Dou City, which means that Heaven Dou City will be broken!
Tang Ye couldn't help but worry about the future of the coalition forces, but suddenly, he thought of those people.
They had obtained the qualification for the Divine Examination in the Qiankun Inquiry Valley of the Sun and Moon Empire, and as long as they could pass the test, there was still hope for all this!
