For any country in the mainland, the number of soul masters is a problem. Even Duke White Tiger Dai Hao's personal guards are not all soul masters. There are ordinary people. You can imagine the other armies, most of which are ordinary people. Even if Sun Moon Empire gathers the strength of the whole country, Soul Engineer will only form a few legions.
It is extremely rare for Mingdu to gather so many top soul masters at once on the mainland. During the previous battle when Mingdu attacked the palace, I am afraid that more than one-third of the powerful people on the mainland gathered there.
Duke White Tiger Dai Hao was sitting on his White Tiger Steed and saw Xu Jiujiu next to Ji Lin at a glance. He quickly turned over and quickly came to Xu Jiujiu. He saluted and said, "I have seen Her Highness the Princess. I wonder why Her Highness the Princess is here. Who are they?"
Although Duke White Tiger Dai Hao knew Ji Lin, he didn't have much impression of the others.
He also had a guess as to why Xu Jiujiu was here.
The main reason why he came out for inspection was that Sun Moon Empire was unstable.
Sun Moon Empire has been ready to start a war for a long time. The war has been on the verge of breaking out. On the Star Luo Empire's side, there are heavy troops deployed at all the major passes.
But according to the news from the Sun Moon Empire, the war will still be at least a few months away. Sun Moon Empire must be fully prepared and mobilize more troops to the border before it can be launched.
But in the middle of the night last night, Dai Hao suddenly received a shocking news. An unprecedented big explosion occurred in Mingdu. The explosion affected more than one-third of the entire Mingdu. This A big explosion caused the entire Sun Moon Empire to boil and caused heavy losses. Sun Moon Empire officially announced that the explosion was related to the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire, but did not say anything specific.
And in the middle of the night, he received the news from Xu Jiujiu in advance. The big explosion that occurred at Mingdu had nothing to do with their Star Luo Empire. It was probably done by the Shrek Academy.
Who did it is not important now, but an explosion of that scale would undoubtedly have a huge impact on Mingdu. It is said that Mingdu suffered heavy casualties. Not only was the entire West District destroyed, but also lost In this case, the possibility of the Sun Moon Empire launching a full-scale war will be greatly reduced. Especially, according to the secret report, His Majesty the Emperor Sun Moon Empire was overly frightened in the big explosion and died.
In this way, the Sun Moon Empire royal family must temporarily fall into civil strife. Although Crown Prince Xu Tianran has already occupied the absolute advantage and initiative, others have the opportunity The prince who inherits the throne is not a vegetarian, and they know Xu Tianran well enough. Once this eldest brother succeeds in taking the throne, you can imagine what is waiting for them. Therefore, they will definitely launch a counterattack at all costs.
This news is definitely a good thing for the Star Luo Empire. The possibility of a full-scale war starting is close to zero, which leaves more preparation time for the Star Luo Empire to face the war.
He came out for inspection today because White Tiger Duke was worried that if Sun Moon Empire's side was hit hard, their border defenders would make some changes. Hatred can sometimes make people lose their minds, especially the hatred between countries, so he wanted to check the defenses of various pass fortresses as soon as possible.
Dai Hao always likes to do things personally, which is also an important reason why he has such a high prestige in the army.
It's just that he didn't expect to meet Xu Jiujiu who sent him a message at the Ming Dou Mountain Range, and Xu Jiujiu also didn't expect such a coincidence. The original plan was to go directly back to Star Luo City and not stay at the Ming Dou Mountain Range.
"Brother Dai, there is no need to be polite. We just left Mingdu overnight. I have written to inform you in advance about Mingdu. I think Brother Dai is on patrol to guard against the Sun Moon Empire's army."
Dai Hao nodded. It was just dawning and a cool breeze was blowing by. White Tiger Duke was in a good mood. After all, the war was postponed, so for him, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the pressure would naturally be much less.
"Yes, in order to prevent the Sun Moon Empire garrison in the Ming Dou Mountain Range from being driven away by hatred, I patrolled the military camp overnight, just in case. I happen to have to return to the military camp, so why not have us escort Her Highness the Princess out of the Ming Dou Mountain Range."
Xu Jiujiu looked at Ji Lin, and Ji Lin nodded slightly without rejecting it. There was no harm in going with White Tiger Duke.
Duke White Tiger Dai Hao also saw this scene and frowned slightly. He knew the relationship between Ji Lin and Xu Jiujiu, but he didn't expect that in Xu Jiujiu's heart, Ji Lin's status was so high. Even such a small matter had to win Ji Lin's consent.
However, he was a soldier, acting vigorously and resolutely, without too much entanglement. He got on the horse again, turned the horse's head, stepped off White Tiger Steed and let out a low roar.
This White Tiger Steed is a strange Soul Beast. It has the skin of a horse and a tiger. It has been cultivated for nearly ten thousand years. In terms of strength, it is not inferior to Soul Emperor. It has been Dai Hao since childhood. He was raised by himself and was as close to him as brothers. Cooperating with Dai Hao, before he was promoted to Soul Saint, he had a combat power that far exceeded the same level. It can be said that he made great contributions.
Ji Lin and others, escorted by White Tiger Guards led by White Tiger Duke, headed all the way towards the military camp, which was also the only way to enter the territory of the Star Luo Empire.
Ji Lin rides White Tiger Guards's war horse, walking side by side with White Tiger Duke.
"Master Ji Lin, such a change has occurred in the Mingdu competition. I wonder if there is any news about Quan Zi?"
"Your Majesty Duke, just call me Ji Lin. As for Dai Huabin, he left with the Shrek Academy. I think he is safe now. After all, Shrek Academy is leading the team this time with more than one Titled Douluo. Sun Moon Empire has no time to care about them. There is no problem for them to escape safely."
Ji Lin and Dai Hao were chatting at the front, from Star Luo City, the all-continental senior Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament five years ago, to Dai Yueheng after graduating from Shrek, and then to Dai Huabin.
Dai Hao was in a good mood because the war was postponed, and Ji Lin didn't have any scruples because of his identity, so the two of them chatted quite speculatively.
At this moment, Ji Lin frowned, and Chi Yuan and Gu Yuena also looked forward at the same time, "Interesting, there is an ambush."
I don't know if this is for them or Duke White Tiger Dai Hao.
Hearing Ji Lin's words, Dai Hao looked startled. He didn't understand what Titled Douluo didn't notice. Why would Ji Lin say there was an ambush ahead, but Dai Hao is not an indecisive person. At the same time, he also knows that as Ji Lin, he will definitely not be able to make a joke at this time and become the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces. He has always done things vigorously and resolutely. He shouted in a deep voice, "There is an ambush, be alert!"
White Tiger Guards are indeed elites. They set up their formation the moment Dai Hao opened his mouth, and at the same time released the reconnaissance Soul Tool, heading forward to explore.
However, at this moment, the sky suddenly lit up.
Groups of green rays of light flashed from the front and flew towards this side. These green rays of light seemed to be in the shape of gourds. Because they were too far from the ground, their specific size could not be seen clearly, but the flames ejected from them were so dazzling even in this early morning. The target was exactly their group.
It seemed that the other party also discovered that their whereabouts were exposed and immediately launched a surprise attack.
At the same time, Ji Lin also discovered that there was Surveillance Soul Tool at an altitude of five thousand meters. Before meeting Dai Hao and the others, Ji Lin and Chi Yuan were not found to be under surveillance. In other words, this was for Dai Hao.
The ability to lift Surveillance Soul Tool into the air five thousand meters for directional surveillance is a technology that only Sun Moon Empire has. At least among the current Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms, no one can achieve it. Even if it is an air defense system, there are very few that can attack three thousand meters away and still be accurate.
But now I don't care about Surveillance Soul Tool. The enemy was obviously very well prepared. After discovering something was wrong, they immediately launched a long-range attack.
Facing the green gourd-shaped light coming from the sky, White Tiger Guards instantly took out Anti-air Soul Tool, and red light groups shot out to meet those green gourd-shaped lights.
For White Tiger Guards who has been fighting Sun Moon Empire for many years, Anti-air Soul Tool is almost a must-have. After all, Sun Moon Empire's Flying Soul Tool is very good. What they like most is to fly high in the sky and bombard enemies on the ground with Soul Cannon from a high position.
Therefore, all elite troops of the Star Luo Empire will carry Anti-air Soul Tool.
Soon, a large red light group met those green gourd-shaped lights. Just when the two sides were about to collide, suddenly, those gourd-shaped lights split. The gourd-shaped front end and back end were disconnected. The front end suddenly accelerated forward and collided with those red light groups, while the green light behind them stopped in mid-air.
The changes at high altitude are so rapid that people are caught off guard.
A deafening sound was heard in the air, and a large halo of light illuminated the entire sky.
Interception successful?
This idea appeared in the minds of the White Tiger Guardss below and was shattered for a moment. Balls of green light turned into cones and fell from the sky like lightning. The target pointed in the direction of Duke White Tiger Dai Hao.
Duke White Tiger Dai Hao, who has been in battle for a long time and is so experienced, reacted immediately. His burly figure suddenly swelled a bit, and his short hair turned into a black and white tiger skin pattern. Two yellow, two purple, five black, nine Soul Ring rose up boldly and turned into a circle. The circle dazzled with brilliance, among which Soul Ring, who was ranked fourth, shone brightly, and groups of light that were as white as jade and looked like tiger heads quickly formed above his head. Then, these light groups pulled up dazzling tail flames of Bai Se and flew up into the air.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..." A series of violent roars illuminated the entire mountain road.
