This is not to say that Titled Douluo cannot cause large-scale destruction, but there is still a process that takes time, but Level 9 Soul Tool Cannon Shell does not require this process. Once it explodes, it will be a large-scale indiscriminate killing. In terms of killing efficiency, Titled Douluo is far inferior to it.
As soon as the war started, Duke White Tiger Dai Hao, who had a keen sense of the battlefield, ordered Northwest Army Group to retreat towards the seven cities on the northwest border of the Star Luo Empire. Reserve corps were stationed in these seven cities, which were the second line of defense on the Star Luo Empire border.
Duke White Tiger Dai Hao also successfully returned to the second line of defense. Tianming City was in charge of the overall situation among the seven cities in the second line of defense. Western Army Group also made a strategic shift to make the defense as wider as possible. There is no way to avoid being attacked by the Sun Moon Empire's mass-destructive Soul Tool. If the army is too concentrated, it will be in vain in the face of the Sun Moon Empire's mass-destructive Soul Tool.
White Tiger Duke, who returned to the defense line, had already written a confession, telling Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei that he would fight to the death in Tianming City and hold back Sun Moon Empire's army at all costs to buy time for the Star Luo Empire's reinforcements. He must not give in an inch of ground.
Northwest Army Group has been operating in the west of the Star Luo Empire for many years. Whether it is city defense or military strength, it is much better than other cities in the Star Luo Empire. Once this second line of defense is breached, Sun Moon Empire will no longer have any obstacles, and the army will move forward indomitably, and even invade the hinterland of the Star Luo Empire with overwhelming force.
As for the Star Luo Empire's reinforcements, it was conservatively estimated that it would take half a month at the fastest to reach the second line of defense, because they never imagined that Northwest Army Group, the strongest force in the empire, would be defeated overnight. Therefore, the other legions were not ready, either in terms of equipment or food, and it would take time. In desperation, Xu Jiawei could only dispatch a few soul master legions to support the second line of defense.
The speed of action of the soul master army is not comparable to that of ordinary armies.
Looking at these battle reports, Ji Lin nodded. At present, Star Luo Empire has reached its limit. Although the situation is very bad, it is not yet desperate. We will wait until Dou Ling Empire sends support. Come, with the restraints of the Heaven Dou Empire and Body Sect, and Star Luo Empire's own profound background, it may not be able to withstand the strong attack of the Sun Moon Empire.
After all, no matter what, Star Luo Empire is the most powerful among the three countries that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent. The number of soul master legions is also the largest in the entire continent including Sun Moon Empire. There are ten thousand soul masters in ten soul master legions. This is a force that cannot be ignored.
Three days have passed. Under the leadership of Duke White Tiger Dai Hao, the situation in the northwest border has stabilized. The most important thing is that Sun Moon Empire seems to be in no rush to attack. However, other forces' detection methods for the border have been used by the Sun Moon Empire's High-Altitude Detection Soul Tool and Soul Engineer legions were strangled. In other words, Star Luo Empire's investigation of the Sun Moon Empire Soul Engineer legion was completely blocked.
White Tiger Duke also sent strong men to investigate, but under the influence of the highly dense High-Altitude Detection Soul Tool and Thermal Detection Soul Tool, any strong man would be immediately discovered as soon as he got close to a certain range, and then there would be countless Soul Tool attacks.
In this case, no news or intelligence can be detected at all.
What does Sun Moon Empire want to do? Even if the position is stabilized, it will take less than three days! Since Sun Moon Empire started this war first, they should have been prepared long ago and then exploded with all their strength! But why didn't they move and give Star Luo Empire time to fully mobilize the army.
The calmer Sun Moon Empire is, the more Duke White Tiger Dai Hao, who has keen intuition and long-term experience in leading troops, feels that something is wrong, and the uneasiness in his heart becomes more and more intense.
But the current situation is clearly favorable to the Star Luo Empire. The enemy's arrival is one day late, and Star Luo Empire's reinforcements are one step closer.
In these three days, six soul master legions have joined Northwest Army Group and Western Army Group. Together with the original two soul master legions, there are eight. This has already reached 80% of the Star Luo Empire's combat power! Even though First Soul Master Legion suffered a lot of losses, the combat power is still there. This lineup shows the determination of the Star Luo Empire, and as the imperial princess, Xu Jiujiu has to go to the front line in person on behalf of the Star Luo Imperial Family.
Xu Jiujiu arrived at the front line not only to represent the royal family, set an example and encourage morale, but also to command the six subsequent soul master legions. This is 80% of the Star Luo Empire's soul master combat power. Even if Xu Jiawei has no relationship with Dai Hao in private. Well, it's impossible to give them all to Dai Hao, so on this trip, Xu Jiujiu must come. Star Luo Imperial Family has only a small number of people. If Xu Jiujiu doesn't come, should we let Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei conduct the expedition himself?
Xu Jiujiu is here, so how could Ji Lin not come? He was not worried about Xu Jiujiu going to the front line, so he brought Chi Yuan with him to protect Her Highness the Princess. At least when things got out of control, he could safely evacuate with Her Highness the Princess.
At the same time, Dou Ling Empire's reinforcements have entered Star Luo Empire's territory, divided into two groups with the Star Luo Empire's own reinforcements, and are rushing to the front line.
It seems that the situation has gradually stabilized. In ten days at most, when all the armies are assembled and prepared, it will not be so easy for the Sun Moon Empire to succeed in one fell swoop.
Ji Lin is very free. He can't command the army in combat, and he doesn't know anything about these things. He can only act as a bodyguard beside Xu Jiujiu, and at the same time, he is also learning how to handle military affairs from Xu Jiujiu.
Although his dream is to be a hands-off shopkeeper and then single-handedly suppress all dissatisfaction, but he is not yet able to do so, and it would be beneficial to learn some knowledge.
In the blink of an eye, another three days have passed. The first batch of the Star Luo Empire reinforcements, 30,000 troops, have been stationed on the second line of defense, and they have also brought twenty Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon. These were made by the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy working overtime.
Shrek As the number one academy in the mainland, no matter how turbulent the mainland is, it will not affect them too much. As long as Shrek Academy does not actively participate in the war, Sun Moon Empire will never even do this to the entire Shrek City. Hey, Shrek Academy is just a college after all. As long as it doesn't stand in the way of Xu Tianran's path to conquer the entire continent, Xu Tianran will not take the initiative to target Shrek Academy.
But Shrek Academy is the college of the original Three Douluo Kingdoms after all. The students, teachers, and even Sea God Pavilion Elder in the college are all from the original Three Douluo Kingdoms. People have selfish motives. Although the main purpose is neutrality, this neutral position is based on the original Three Douluo Kingdoms.
Although Shrek Academy did not send anyone to actively participate in the war, it decided to give priority to the Star Luo Empire in supplying Soul Tool, especially Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon. Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon has a long range, so it is naturally best to use it for defense.
"Sun Moon Empire hasn't moved yet. It seems he wants to play big!" Ji Lin sat on the sofa and chuckled. He had just finished dinner. At this time every day, Xu Jiujiu was teaching him.
Xu Jiujiu looked at the darkening sky outside the window and said, "Yes! Seven days have passed since the war was launched. No matter how safe it is, Sun Moon Empire should have launched the next wave of attacks."
Xu Jiujiu is also very confused. Although she is a princess and the only useful member of the royal family besides Xu Jiawei, she has learned a lot about war, marching and fighting, and commanding the army. But after all, it is only on paper and lacks actual combat experience. She cannot see what Sun Moon Empire has planned.
Ji Lin came behind Xu Jiujiu, stretched out his hands and kneaded both sides of Xu Jiujiu's forehead to help her relieve stress. These days, Xu Jiujiu has been under great mental pressure, not only her, but almost the entire Star Luo Empire's army is like this. Their nerves are tense every day, because they know that the war will come at any time. The Sun Moon Empire army has not arrived yet, but their nerves are always tense and they are under pressure. In this case, everyone's mental pressure is huge.
Those who don't know better think that Sun Moon Empire is having a mental war.
"Sister Jiujiu, you have worked hard these days, let's go out and relax, otherwise you will get old if you are too stressed!"
Xu Jiujiu's face darkened, and she pushed her elbow back hard. Her movements were as fast as lightning, and she accurately hit Ji Lin's abdomen behind her.
"Uh-!"
Ji Lin clutched his lower abdomen, leaving a drop of cold sweat on his forehead, feeling lingering fear that if the elbow just dropped a little further, it would hit his vital part.
"Sister Jiujiu, you want to murder your husband! What if you get injured? That is related to your sexual happiness!"
Xu Jiujiu turned around and said angrily, "You deserve it, don't you know that is a taboo for women?"
Ji Lin rubbed his lower abdomen and stood up. Xu Jiujiu was measured and the strength was just right. It only hurt but not hurt. He stepped forward and hugged Xu Jiujiu into his arms. He said softly, "Don't worry, Sister Jiujiu. I'm here and everything will be fine."
Xu Jiujiu is really working hard these days. It is also the first time for her to go to the battlefield and command the army for the first time. You can imagine the pressure in her heart. After all, they hold the life and death of tens of thousands of people in their hands, and it is all their own strength!
Leaning her cheek against Ji Lin's chest, feeling the strong heartbeat, the pressure accumulated in Xu Jiujiu's heart was instantly released. She felt much more relaxed, and then she began to think wildly, am I really getting old?
Looking at Xu Jiujiu's troubled expression, Ji Lin guessed what she was thinking and chuckled, "Don't worry Sister Jiujiu, how can you grow old? I'm just kidding. In my eyes, you will always be the most beautiful."
"Oh!"
Xu Jiujiu narrowed his eyes and looked up at Ji Lin, "Then I will compete with Qiu'er to see who is more beautiful."
Ji Lin's mouth twitched, oh! Done! Send a proposition.
I'm such a bitch, why do I bring up this topic? Ji Lin wished he could give himself a few slaps a few seconds ago.
