Chapter 233: The War Behemoth Has Been Deployed
Although Huo Hang is the purest or even the only pure-blooded human being among the male and female protagonists of the Douluo Continent in the past dynasties, it is ......
When it comes to his attitude and contribution to soul beasts, Huo Hang doesn't know how high he is compared to Tang San and Xiao Wu.
An important reason why Huo Hang forcibly pushed the soul was to calm the anger of the Star Dou Great Forest after the sacrifice of the Emperor Rui Beast, so he entered the eyes of the Emperor Tian, and the reverse scales he carried with him hindered the snooping of the Divine Realm (although it didn't seem to have much effect and didn't seem to be a bad thing) and saved Huo Hang's life at the same time.
Huo Yuhao's purpose of pushing the soul is much more pure, the primary consideration has always been to his own fame and fortune, as for appeasing the relationship between humans and beasts and opening up a new path for the soul masters of the world, in essence, it is only an incidental impact.
In the final analysis, a person's circumstances should not only consider personal struggle, but also consider the course of history.
Without the encounter with Brother Tianmeng, Huo Yuhao is just a martial soul and not bad (even within Shrek, the evaluation of the spirit eye has repeatedly jumped from "average" to "the top martial soul composed of eyes and brains") But the innate soul power has basically cut off the soul master's path of empty ambition but unrestrained chicken power.
The four divine techniques that made the Spirit Eye reborn, and even the later Second Emperor of Ice and Snow, were all brought by Brother Tianmeng in the final analysis, and he was the noble person who really allowed Huo Yuhao to transform. The Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor are also partners of extraordinary significance, and helping them is also helping themselves.
"I don't have any opinion on letting some soul beasts in the Far North take the opportunity to become a part of the blood and bones of human society...... Cher, what about you? β
The Ice Emperor looked at the Snow Emperor beside him and asked.
"Well, I'm a little worried that in the future, when human beings will drastically reduce the number of soul beasts because of their souls, and even be able to create special energy bodies such as souls, the meaning is only to provide soul beasts, where will the fate go?"
"You're thinking too much." Huo Yuhao shook his head and said.
"From an individual point of view, no soul master will think that he has too many soul bones, but why don't you see a soul master slaughtering soul beasts all the way to kill beasts and take bones?"
"Human ambition has always been constrained by the limit of strength; At least we have limited the necessary demand for the life of soul beasts generated by human beings because of soul rings through souls, and the unnecessary additional needs such as soul bones can only be suppressed by human beings when the strength of humans and soul beasts is relatively balanced. β
"In my lifetime, I will try my best to meet the normal soul ring needs of human beings while suppressing the excessive desire of individual soul masters for soul masters - there are only a very few soul masters who regard soul bones as a necessity, as long as the vast majority of people are satisfied, maybe others will be happy to see it."
"As for the future...... The fate of future generations should be in their own hands. At least we have enough time to build and maintain an overall mutually beneficial and balanced relationship as much as possible, but there is no such thing as a system that will last forever; If the relationship between man and beast inevitably collapses one day, I will not regret doing what I should have done. β
Emperor Xue stretched out his fingers and brushed his hair, and smiled helplessly:
"I believe you have your own ideas, so do what you believe."
"We have entrusted each other with a relationship of mutual trust in the future, and as long as it does not cause too much harm to the Far North, and helps us to work together to ascend to the gods, I will naturally do my best to help you."
"But...... Do you seem to be confident? It's not difficult for me to cooperate with Bing'er in launching some soul beasts in the Extreme North, but how can you explain to those division commanders of yours that such surprises may subvert their imaginations? When did you secretly become the king of the far north behind their backs? β
Huo Yuhao's spiritual body held the handrail on the shore of the Spirit Sea, and said with a hearty smile:
"Of course, after I went to the Heavenly Soul Empire to retrieve my things, for the sake of the future of the empire and even mankind, I sacrificed my life and resolutely stepped into the Far North alone, and with great courage and will, I persuaded the Ice and Snow Emperor of the Far North to agree to cooperate tentatively! What's the plot about? β
Brother Tianmeng said worriedly: "I'm afraid this is ...... It's too much for normal people to understand, right? β
The smile on Huo Yuhao's face did not change, and he looked at the sea and said slowly:
"Don't forget who I am, the transfer student who dared to cross the Mingdu Forest alone after my mother died of illness and was just kicked out of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!"
"When the future is uncertain, dare to go to the Far North with Brother Tianmeng to find the Ice Emperor to gamble on his life!"
"Brother Tianmeng, you know what's going on, but have you forgotten the horror of the Red Dust Hall Master when he learned that I had gone to the Far North alone on vacation? In the eyes of the world, I still have the great reputation of being the first soul guide genius and soul creator in the past thousand years! β
"In the future, the history books will inevitably give me more and more annotations, and others will only think that I am destined to create miracles like this! One more experience of persuading the Far North to reach a cooperation is just one more conversation point for future generations to read my biography, Brother Tianmeng, we are not the same waste as we were at the beginning! Stop looking at ourselves with the same old eyes! β
The Ice Emperor looked at Huo Yuhao's radiant appearance with serious meaning in his eyes, and suddenly seemed to find that he still had a shallow understanding of this partner's mind.
Brother Tianmeng paced for a long time, finally nodded, and asked in a deep voice, "Then, Yuhao, when do you plan to leave?" With your current status, it may not be so easy to leave the country. β
"In the past few days, I've been wanting to go to Dragon City to investigate; And the opportunity is just around the corner. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Heavenly Soul Empire is more than two hundred kilometers deep into the new border.
Rulin's armor and countless accompanying baggage pulled out a silver line that stretched for nearly ten kilometers, and a few flying figures crossed the sky from time to time - those were the soul masters who were one step ahead of the army and cleared the enemy's territory.
After intensive army allocation and material dispatch, the Heavenly Soul Empire, which shared the same hatred for the behavior of splitting the territory and sealing the territory, finally assembled an army that thought it was enough to quell the rebellion.
The situation in the western frontier is too strange, and after openly claiming to have broken with the Heavenly Soul Empire and swept away the military forces loyal to the Heavenly Soul Empire in the territory, it has hardly launched any further territorial expansion, and only used small and medium-sized regular troops in the border areas to maintain friction with limited intensity.
The entire western frontier has almost become an information black hole under strict military control, and the few elite soul masters who infiltrated it have either died in another country or have only half their lives left to desperately escape.
The highest level of sacrificing soul masters has reached the soul saint, which makes the court of the Heavenly Soul Empire can't help but be cautious, and repeatedly increase their troops - they really can't figure out what kind of hole cards the opposite side has in terms of soul masters, and the Sun and Moon Empire secretly decides what kind of support to give behind their backs.
As for the ordinary soldiers who wear armor and hold cold weapons, they are not completely useless in the eyes of the Heavenly Soul Empire - soul masters below the Soul Saint must also assemble into an organized soul master army in order to win the battle in the face of an organized and large-scale regular army; The overall strength of the Heavenly Soul Empire is still far superior to that of the Western Frontier, and this kind of exchange will definitely make a profit and not lose money, and sooner or later it will be able to consume the middle and low-level soul masters in the Western Frontier to death.
And the Heavenly Soul Empire, which has repeatedly raised the scale of the battle and the strength of the opponent, has finally put down its body and accepted the support of the mobile troops brought by the Star Luo Empire and the Douling Empire, and the three kingdoms once again demonstrated the sincere unity of the "Unbreakable Douluo Alliance".
Accepting help from friends is a small matter, as long as the victory is won, the people of the Heavenly Soul Empire are naturally willing to believe that victory depends on the bravery and strength of their own army; And if the stakes are lost in the first battle...... It is bound to deal an unacceptable blow to the morale of the people.
The strategy of the Heavenly Soul Empire is still very cautious in general, using soul masters who are good at speed to conduct reconnaissance, not going too deep into the enemy territory, once encountering a strong enemy, they will immediately retreat, and the soul masters of the main echelon will fight against the enemy's soul masters, so as to avoid the strength of the soul masters being constantly weakened by more fights and fewer and blunt knives.
In the case of a large gap in strength, it is indeed the safest and not easy to make mistakes; Although the advance speed of the soul master troops as sharp knives was a little slower, it was far from satisfying the unrealistic fantasy of war that some people in the court of the Heavenly Soul Empire "defeated the enemy for thousands of miles".
However, the most valuable soul masters have indeed effectively reduced casualties, and the soul masters who are famous in the western region have not fought to the death so far; According to the arrangement of the Heavenly Soul Empire, as long as the soul masters above the opponent's soul sect are repelled or evacuated, the soul masters will retire and hand over the battlefield to the regular army for attack and sweep, and it is impossible for elite soul masters to waste their troops on law and order warfare.
After all, blindly using a soul master is also not advisable for a soul master, training an ordinary soldier only needs to wait for eighteen years plus a conscription order, but a soul master takes decades, supplemented by extremely expensive resource investment, and more importantly, it is not renewable in a short period of time.
Dai Yueheng, who was riding on a horse and his arms were still a little unreachable, looked at the map in his hand and frowned.
That's right, Lord White Tiger, who loves his son, sent his eldest son, who had already become the deputy division commander in the army, out of the country to serve as the commander of the Star Luo Empire's mobile support force!
Dai Yueheng himself is a high-achieving student of the Seven Monsters in Shrek Academy, and he has the military family inheritance of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and the entire Star Luo Empire cannot find a few officers who are better than him.
As for attacking the White Tiger Duke, he has the selfish intention of controlling the army...... Don't make a fuss, they are hereditary army leaders.
The troops led by Dai Yueheng, who carried the ardent expectations of his father and the emperor to "win glory for the country", were also the essence of the army, and they were the soul master corps troops established by Xu Jiawei in imitation of the Sun and Moon Empire's protective hand standards.
Due to the excessive maintenance cost of the soul master group, Dai Yueheng was unable to bring the complete soul master group over, but he also transferred a full 150 people, and Xu Jiawei was enough to dig out his heart and lungs for the White Tiger Duke Mansion.
The soldiers below may be glad that the enemy is fleeing and can regain lost ground without having to carry their heads in a tough battle, but Dai Yueheng doesn't think so.
The calmer the situation now, the more it means that the enemy has accumulated a huge amount of strength, and he would rather fight with the enemy and grind it slowly.
"Big brother, don't scare yourself, you have such an elite army in your hands, even if you encounter a Title Douluo, you can use it to fight and retreat."
Dai Huabin followed behind Dai Yueheng by half a horse's head and said with relief.
Yes, I heard that the eldest brother was about to go out for the country, and he was concerned about the safety of the eldest brother, whose injuries had not yet fully healed, and finally moved his father by asking for war in every possible way, and agreed to let him urgently enlist in the army and go out with the army, after all, he fought tiger brothers.
As for how much of it is worried about Dai Yueheng's body, and how much is it because it is afraid that the other party will accumulate too many combat exploits to complete the overtaking...... I can't tell.
After all, the Heavenly Soul Empire has also been a great country for thousands of years, so long ago that it seems that its existence is a natural theorem, and almost no one would think that the Heavenly Soul Empire will be no match for a small western frontier.
Although the turmoil in the Western Frontier is indeed the largest rebellion of the Heavenly Soul Empire in thousands of years, from the perspective of a normal person, at most it will make the Heavenly Soul Empire end up in a miserable victory.
"Don't underestimate the enemy, since they can have the strength to subvert the garrison, they have the capital to confront."
Half of the Soul Master Regiment that the Star Luo Empire came to support and the army of the Heavenly Soul Empire were clearly separated by a march distance of more than ten kilometers, and they represented the face of the empire with three horses and one person, and they were all equipped with white high-headed horses.
As for the logistics soldiers accompanying the army, they are not so particular...... Horses, mules and even donkeys were all used.
The two brothers, each with their own concerns, walked side by side, and what made Dai Yueheng's tense nerves finally relaxed, they moved slowly and cautiously, and finally ...... Encounter the enemy's "main force"!
As a part of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the legions in the Western Frontier were perfectly in the same position as the old boss, and the thinking of the whole army was basically the same, and it was impossible for the officers sent by the Sun and Moon Empire to change this inertia for thousands of years in a short period of time.
"Is this their workhorse?"
Dai Yueheng raised his binoculars on the hillside, looking at the extremely familiar military formation of the Free Western Frontier Army from afar.
"Fortunately, they didn't plan to retreat all the way to Xining City, and directly fight in the streets of the capital, which is really a bit troublesome." Dai Huabin teased.
In the face of the already somewhat backward version of the military formation set up by the Free Western Frontier Legion with conventional troops, the Heavenly Soul Empire, which has the same root and origin, has the same way of dealing with it, and it still uses a conventional army to deal with it.
As for the support of the elite soul masters and the two countries of Xingluo and Dou Ling, except for a small part of the attack, the rest are all used to prepare for dealing with the soul masters who will appear at any time for the other party.
Anyway, the human resources of the Heavenly Soul Empire have an absolute advantage, so slowly grinding over it is a sure win.
The regular troops on both sides began a slow and cautious trial, and Dai Yueheng, who was not interested in rookies pecking at each other, frowned more and more.
This was the first large-scale battle after the Heavenly Soul Empire invaded the territory of Western Xinjiang, and Dai Yueheng didn't believe that the other party was simply sending people to deliver food.
And the development of the situation also confirmed Dai Yueheng's thoughts, the soul masters used by the Heavenly Soul Empire to harass continued to rotate and increase, and as the pressure on the Free Western Frontier Legion increased, their soul masters finally came out to break the siege.
The intensity of the entire battlefield increased sharply after the soul masters on both sides clarified their willingness to fight, especially when it was confirmed that the soul masters used by the other party to block even appeared Contra, the commander of the Heavenly Soul Empire under great joy directly ordered to join the battlefield with the soul division reserves.
Although Dai Yueheng was faintly uneasy in his heart, he would not deny the other party's decision. In a place like Xijiang, it is completely unknown whether Title Douluo exists, and Contra Douluo is basically the ceiling of combat power.
"That's going to send Contra...... It's really a squander of the family, and it's not distressing. β
Dai Yueheng shook his head, Contra Douluo is a T1-level combat power in any country, but it never has the ability of Title Douluo to easily turn the tide of battle, and he is still greatly constrained by the disadvantage of numbers.
The Contra Douluo that the Star Luo Empire can effectively call is less than three digits, not to mention a place like the Western Frontier, Dai Yueheng feels very unworthy of the other party's sloppiness.
"Order, all members of the Starlight Soul Mentor Group will start to advance, pay attention to maintaining the formation, we will not fight for merit, I just need everyone to go home completely."
Dai Yueheng ordered Dai Huabin beside him, and the latter saluted matter-of-factly, and then went to verbally convey the order.
As the Heavenly Soul Empire moved its true skills, the soul masters who came to block it from the Western Frontier fell into a disadvantage in an instant, and the soul masters with a Contra Douluo as the core fought and retreated.
However, the soul masters of the Heavenly Soul Empire, who were eager to recover their homeland and make contributions, were in hot pursuit, and as the soul masters fell into a disadvantage, the military formation of the Free Western Frontier Legion also tended to waver.
At this time, the Starlight Soul Mentor Group had already begun to maintain the field formation and slowly advance forward, Dai Yueheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if the Heavenly Soul Empire lost the first battle in the true sense, no one would be able to defeat well.
However, Dai Yueheng, who was among the top on this battlefield, moved his ears slightly, and from the noisy noise of the battlefield, he could distinguish a strange sound that made him a little uneasy.
Not only Dai Yueheng, but everyone on the entire battlefield quickly heard the strange sound that was getting closer and closer.
"Are they preparing something?"
The commander of the Heavenly Soul Empire frowned deeply, but he thought that he had left at least enough soul master guards to protect the headquarters, and his heart was greatly settled.
His peace of mind lasted only a few minutes before it was shattered by the mutated battlefield.
"That'...... What's that? β
The adjutant beside him raised his hand to the sky in amazement, and the reaction of everyone in the entire headquarters was incomprehensible, even the commander himself wiped his eyes, only then did he confirm that he was really not dazzled.
"This is, this ...... The sons and bouts of the Sun and Moon Empire are really torn their faces! Grass! β
The commander scolded, but there was a slight tremor in his voice, and the military hat on his head trembled.
It was a hot air balloon...... No, ellipsoidal slender balloons! The sound actually came from a huge propeller!
The dark gray surface of the hull could be seen with a slight silver light from individual angles, and the huge size of the war beast made all the soul masters who saw it shudder.
Dai Yueheng took two deep breaths, and then began to estimate the length of the huge balloon with the pod in front of him.
One hundred and fifty meters? One hundred and eighteen? Two hundred meters?
Why does this thing keep moving, I can't see it!
The airship that had previously flown at a low altitude at cruising speed began to rise in altitude before approaching the battlefield, and the airship with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters continued to climb towards a safe altitude that was immune to the attacks of most soul guide weapons, making the soldier who looked up at this ship synonymous with an industrial miracle feel a wave of heart.
"This is Ma Rulong, the Mingdu airship is in normal condition, requesting an air raid order."
Ma Rulong, who was dressed in a completely different uniform from the Soul Master Regiment, stood on the captain's observation position, looking down at the chaotic battlefield below, and "muttered to himself".
However, he knew that Huo Yuhao, who had promised to do him a small favor, could hear itβthe latter was now hiding on the edge of the battlefield with the simulation of the face of the whole continent that had been shown on the field, preparing to do something under the cover of the rout of the Heavenly Soul Empire after its defeat.
