As the alarm sounded, the Soul Master on night watch inside the tank immediately began countermeasures.
Gun barrels suddenly emerged from several small viewing ports, spitting bullets like fiery serpents and wiping out more than half of the enemy troops attempting the ambush.
The effects displayed by the tanks sparked a massive wave of discussion across the continent, especially among Soul Engineers.
After all, Soul Engineers were the professionals, and they could better understand what the emergence of tanks truly meant.
Within the Sea God Pavilion, Xian Lin'er said to Mu En, "Teacher, the Composite Strategic Soul Tool proposed by Junior Disciple Brother in the future has provided all Soul Engineers with a new direction for development."
"I think Shrek Academy should also vigorously pursue this direction. The potential of tanks is absolutely enormous..."
Inside the Sun Moon Empire's imperial palace.
"An investigative ability similar to the Spirit System?!"
Kong Deming looked at the scene on the Heavenly Curtain and immediately made his judgment.
Even as someone standing at the pinnacle of Soul Tool technology on the continent, after watching the tank's battlefield performance, he could not help but sigh. "The younger generation is truly formidable!"
Although the scenes displayed on the Heavenly Curtain were not extensive, Kong Deming still dissected the tank in remarkable detail through his seasoned experience.
Firepower system: equivalent to the main cannon of a fixed-installation Soul Tool. It did not use ordinary shells, but instead condensed and compressed high-purity Soul Power, accelerated it, and fired it out to create devastating energy explosions. It was also supplemented with several standard weapons, making its attack methods more flexible and varied.
Mobility system: it appeared to use ordinary tracks from the outside, but in reality, it was equipped with specially designed propulsion Soul Tool devices. It was presumed capable of fighting across all kinds of terrain. Even if the tracks were destroyed, it could likely still move.
Defense system: it appeared to be the most ordinary Soul Power protective barrier, relying on sheer force; however, judging from the details of its activation, it was interconnected, triggered by each tank and expanding from points into a surface. It reduced the burden of Soul Power supply and demand while providing even better defensive effects...
It could only be said that Kong Deming truly deserved his reputation. In the future, he would even create the first tenth-grade Soul Tool in continental history—the Sun Moon Divine Light Shield.
There was absolutely no questioning the weight of that accomplishment!
"Composite Strategic Soul Tool—its name is well deserved." Kong Deming gave the tank, as well as the definition of its Soul Tool classification, extremely high praise.
This kind of Soul Tool, armed to the teeth, was indeed extraordinary.
Because of the existence of the Soul Master profession, the development of Soul Tools had often been limited to attack methods that extended an individual Soul Master's abilities.
Even the fixed-installation Soul Tools that emerged later with the advancement of the times were the same.
Even after ninth-grade and even tenth-grade Soul Tools had been created, the concept and function of Soul Tools had remained within that scope.
However, the Composite Strategic Soul Tool proposed by Shao Zhuang introduced an entirely new concept and a brand-new transformation.
This kind of Composite Strategic Soul Tool was more of an independent war platform.
It made the world's Soul Engineers understand that Soul Tools could actually take such a path.
However, the wave of discussion surrounding Composite Strategic Soul Tools like tanks quickly faded. After all, such complicated matters were generally only researched and examined in depth by professionals.
Outsiders were more interested in simply watching the spectacle.
Most crucially, the Heavenly Curtain suddenly revealed another earth-shattering piece of information, plunging the former Douluo Three Kingdoms into extreme panic.
[Several Composite Strategic Soul Tools led by tanks did indeed cause some trouble for our Holy Church and the Sun Moon Empire.] [However, the general trend cannot be stopped. Given the decayed backwardness of the former Douluo Three Kingdoms, even with a genius like Shao Zhuang, they could only delay their deaths.] [The blitzkrieg achieved remarkable results. The former Douluo Three Kingdoms truly were paper tigers. Less than ten days after the war began, enormous gains had already been made on the Heaven Dou Empire front.] [The Heaven Dou Imperial City had completely fallen. One-third of its territory had been taken by our side, and the offensive had not paused in the slightest, continuing with unstoppable momentum. Everything west of Heaven Dou City had already fallen into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire.] [Of the Heaven Dou Empire's Six Great Soul Mentor Legions, four had been destroyed. Under the cover of the remaining two Soul Mentor Legions, the Heaven Dou royal family continued retreating eastward.] [As for that so-called Guardian Sect, the Body Sect? Not worth mentioning.] [Its sect leader, Du Busi, was severely wounded by my son Zhong Liwu and another elder of the church working together. The entire sect fled in defeat.] [The Heaven Dou Empire's defeat was already inevitable. Before long, it would surely be completely destroyed!]
"Damn Sun Moon Empire! Damn Holy Spirit Cult!"
Du Busi, who had just returned to his sect, looked at the contents of the Heavenly Curtain and immediately began cursing.
He had suffered severe injuries, his sect had been forced into retreat, and even the country was about to be destroyed.
Putting oneself in his position, anyone would have felt incomparably miserable and furious.
"No! The Body Sect must strike back! We cannot sit and wait for death any longer!"
Du Busi was extremely agitated. He suddenly felt that his previous arrangements had been far too lax.
The future had already become like this. If they still did not prepare desperately to deal with it, were they supposed to sit and wait for their country and homes to be destroyed?
Du Busi's feelings at that moment reflected the emotions of the vast majority of people in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Although the former Douluo Three Kingdoms were indeed much weaker than the Sun Moon Empire,
the future scene of national destruction had already appeared. How could they possibly remain calm?
Is this how our country will end? Princess Veena's expression was deeply sorrowful.
As the princess of the Heaven Dou Empire, her grief was even greater.
She had never expected that her country would be so easily destroyed by the Sun Moon Empire in the future.
Only a little over ten days after the war began, her country was already nearly lost.
She had never imagined such a thing. Veena only felt as though the sky were falling!
After all, for the royal families of the former Douluo Three Kingdoms, having such an ambitious and powerful empire beside them naturally caused concern.
No matter how much they might slack off, they would still make at least some effort.
The Heaven Dou Empire might not have been as driven or hardworking as the Star Luo Empire, but it still had made the necessary preparations.
For instance, drawing in the Body Sect as its Guardian Sect was one of its countermeasures.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family, binding the immensely powerful Body Sect to their side was absolutely one of their most correct decisions.
With such an ally protecting them, along with the Six Great Soul Mentor Legions cultivated over many years, the royal family's safety could be said to have improved enormously.
Some within the royal family had even confidently believed that, even if the Sun Moon Empire launched an attack against their country, they could absolutely turn it into a war of attrition and wait for support from the other two great empires.
But now, the Heavenly Soul Royal Family was completely dumbfounded. With the Sun Moon Empire fighting on three fronts at once, their country had fallen so quickly!!
