“I’m not asking that.” Huo Yuhao said coldly, “I’m asking what Dai Hao is doing? Can’t he, a Soul Douluo, take care of a group of bandits?”
Dai Yuheng shook his head and said, "Father will be stationed in the military camp to guard against the threat from Mingdou Forest and the Sun Moon Empire. Although they have signed a ceasefire agreement, they seem to be ready to move again recently."
Huo Yuhao frowned: "If the commander-in-chief cannot be moved, what about the other generals? Is it difficult to send troops to wipe them out?"
Dai Yueheng sighed and said, "The Death Hand Bandits have nearly 300 members. In addition to the leader, there is more than one Soul King. We sent out a small team before, but we were no match for them."
Huo Yuhao snorted coldly: "They are just Soul Kings. I thought they were Soul Sages because they couldn't be dealt with for so long. Ordinary armies can't destroy them, so can't the White Tiger Guards do it?"
Dai Yaoheng shook his head again: "Yuhao, you don't know that this group of bandits are familiar with the terrain and are insidious and cunning. They keep shuttling back and forth between Xingluo and the Sun and Moon Empire. It is too difficult for the army to send troops to wipe them out. On the contrary, a team like us is more suitable to fight them."
“What a joke! If I don’t teach you, you won’t be able to manage the army, right?” Huo Yuhao sneered, “How can it be difficult to deal with a group of bandits who do nothing but burn, kill and rob? If the leader can’t be dealt with, then deal with his minions first. There are plenty of soft and hard methods, such as luring them, inciting them to revolt, etc.”
"They are just a bunch of rabble who will scatter like birds and beasts at the first sight of a charge. How can they possibly be a match for your regular army? Or should we say..."
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes.
"Dai Hao doesn't take it to heart at all?"
Dai Yuheng's face changed, and he scolded in a low voice: "Yuhao, don't say that about your father. It's not that he can't do it, but he also has his difficulties."
Huo Yuhao said coldly: “Then there is no need to trouble him. Since he can’t do it, we will do it. Is that ok?”
Dai Yueheng stopped talking and remained silent with Huo Yuhao for a few minutes.
Huo Yuhao suddenly asked, “You just said that the leader of this group of bandits is an evil soul master?”
"Correct."
Huo Yuhao thought of the organization related to the evil soul masters, the Holy Spirit Church.
Could they be related to this gang of robbers?
Everyone was on their way at full speed, only taking a short break for lunch, and having a taste of Huo Yuhao's barbecue skills, and then they continued on their way without stopping.
It was not until the afternoon that they arrived at the border between the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire, where they borrowed a magical means of transportation - a flying soul guide.
Huo Yuhao was very interested in this tool.
Just by mobilizing their soul power, humans who have never left the earth can fly freely like birds.
Late at night on the western border of the Xingluo Empire.
A ray of white light streaked across the dark sky, leaving behind a brilliant tail flame that cut through the entire sky and fell to the ground.
The white light disappeared, and black figures appeared on the ground, accompanied by vomiting sounds.
The students were pale, some squatting on the ground, some holding onto tree trunks, and more than most people were vomiting. Even Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yaoheng, who were already Soul Emperors, looked unhappy.
"Look at what you have achieved." Old Xuan took a sip of wine and was very dissatisfied.
I had only activated the soul guide to help the students fly quickly for two hours, covering a mere three thousand miles, but they couldn't bear it.
Huo Yuhao was not in such a mess. He chewed ice cubes to relieve his discomfort, and at the same time he was thinking about the flying soul guide.
Such a low-level flying soul guide device can only be used by oneself, so how can it be modified to carry dozens or hundreds of people and become a real soul guide aircraft?
He kept this thought to himself for the time being.
Elder Xuan stretched himself lazily. "Yueheng, we made quite a noise when we landed just now. The army should have discovered it and will send someone here soon. You should handle it. I'm going to take a nap first. My back is sore from bringing you guys along."
After he finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.
The corners of Dai Yueheng's mouth twitched slightly.
Soon, several figures fell from the surrounding sky, and each released their own soul ring at the same time, the light was extremely eye-catching in the night.
The leader was an old man with seven rings, and the rest were all strong men with four rings or above.
The Seventh Ring Elder asked sternly, "Who are you? What is your purpose in approaching our military camp?"
Dai Yuheng greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Du, don't you recognize me?"
The seven-ringed old man was stunned for a moment. After seeing Dai Yuheng's appearance clearly, he said in surprise: "Young Master? Young Master, why are you here? They are..."
Dai Yuheng smiled and said, "We are classmates at Shrek Academy. My father and I have communicated through letters. Is he in the military camp now?"
Mr. Du hurriedly said, "The Marshal is in the barracks. I will take you and your classmates to see him."
Dai Yueheng smiled bitterly: "Mr. Du, we just got off the flying soul guide and can't walk yet. Please go and inform them first."
"It's my duty." Old Du gave a few instructions to a Soul King beside him, and that person went to report to Duke White Tiger.
These people are the White Tiger Guards, the most trusted among the White Tiger Duke's trusted confidants, and they only obey the orders of the White Tiger Duke.
Mr. Du asked, "Master, why did you come here suddenly?"
Dai Yaoheng replied: "We are here to help father deal with the Death Hand Bandits."
"I see. Thank you so much. These thugs have been doing evil for a long time, and we can't do anything about them."
Old Du’s eyes swept over the Shrek people, and when he saw Huo Yuhao, he was suddenly stunned.
"It's you……"
Chapter 123 Duke White Tiger
Seeing that Mr. Du was about to reveal Huo Yuhao's identity, Dai Yueheng was quick to wave his hand in front of him and wink at the same time.
As the most trusted retainer of the Duke of White Tiger, Mr. Du was naturally loyal and had the ability to read people's expressions. He reacted immediately and shut up in time.
He looked at Huo Yuhao, whose lips curled up slightly, revealing an intriguing smile.
Wang Dong endured the turmoil in his body and said to Huo Yuhao unhappily, "Why are you grinning like an idiot?"
“I’m not laughing at anything.” Huo Yuhao turned around and said, “Brother Caitou, give me some Chinese medicine.”
"Give……"
He Caitou didn't even have the strength to recite the soul spell, and he weakly threw a nearly dried soul weapon to him from his soul guide.
Huo Yuhao took it without any concern.
It was still late at night when they arrived at the western border of the Xing Luo Empire, and it was almost dawn after they rested.
Everyone set off again, flying into the air using flying soul guides, following Old Du and the White Tiger Guards.
The endless military camps are built against the mountain and are neatly planned. Just by looking at them from a distance, you can feel a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
"drink--"
"what--"
It is early morning now and many soldiers have already begun training. Their movements and shouts are all in unison and look very majestic.
Dai Yaoheng flew slowly beside Huo Yuhao and said with a smile, “Yuhao, how long has it been since you last visited the military camp? How are the soldiers of the Central Army Corps doing? Although they haven’t fought a battle for a long time, they have never slacked off in their training.”
Looking down at the military camp, a hint of pride appeared on his face.
Huo Yuhao nodded and said calmly, “We should be prepared for danger in times of peace. The so-called ceasefire is just a cover. The Sun-Moon Empire cannot be so peaceful.”
"In fact, you and I both know that the Sun-Moon Empire is much more powerful than it appears. Everything that happened before was just a minor fight. Now both countries are still maintaining a formality on the surface, and the real strong have never intervened in the war."
"If a full-scale war really breaks out, the Xingluo Empire will likely be vulnerable."
Dai Yaoheng looked gloomy, but he did not refute Huo Yuhao's negative remarks. He knew that Huo Yuhao was right.
How could the Sun-Moon Empire, which could only be defeated by the combined efforts of the three empires of the entire Douluo Continent, be only this strong?
Wang Dong controlled the flying soul guide to get closer to the two people, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, but he couldn't hear clearly. When he finally heard a little, he was still confused.
He simply stopped listening and kept muttering, "What the hell, so mysterious?"
They flew for another quarter of an hour, and military camps passed by their feet. Finally, a huge hexagonal tent appeared in their sight.
This tent is much larger than the others, and there are two teams of White Tiger Guards patrolling around.
Obviously, this is the marshal's tent.
Huo Yuhao squinted his eyes and could see a familiar figure in front of the tent.
He was tall and mighty, with an extraordinary aura, and exuded strength and dominance. He seemed to be practicing boxing, and although he did not release his martial spirit, every punch he threw showed an infinite sense of power.
Of course Huo Yuhao knew him, he was his biological father in this world.
Duke White Tiger, Dai Hao.
Duke White Tiger was shirtless, revealing his solid bronze muscles, and his stature was nearly two meters tall. The strong blood and energy in his body became more and more intense with each punch.
The solemn and murderous aura emanating from him made every Shrek student's hair stand on end and gasp for air.
Except Huo Yuhao.
Everyone landed one after another, and the personal guard Du Lao stepped forward quickly, bowing slightly: "Marshal, the eldest young master and the Shrek students are here."
"Ah."
Duke White Tiger nodded slightly and turned around. His twin blue eyes exuded iron-bloodedness and fortitude, which made all the students feel a little awed.
Dai Yuheng walked out, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "Father."
Duke Baihu nodded, motioned Dai Yuheng to stand up and walk towards the others.
He glanced at everyone with a smile on his face, and was about to open his mouth to welcome them, when he was suddenly attracted by a figure in the back row who was slightly lowering his head. A dull look appeared on his resolute face, and then a hint of gentle tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he spoke with some surprise.
"Yuhao?"
"How did you come?"
Dai Yueheng's face changed. He forgot that when he wrote the letter to inform Duke White Tiger, he didn't know who the reserve team members were, and he didn't tell him that Huo Yuhao would also come.
Wang Yan and the others were stunned, suspecting that they had heard it wrongly.
Duke Baihu knew Huo Yuhao? And he spoke to him in such a gentle tone?
Huo Yuhao had a cold expression. He just bowed slightly and said in a somewhat unfamiliar manner, "Greetings, Lord White Tiger Duke."
Dai Yuheng reminded softly from behind: "Father."
Duke Baihu was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal and smiled at Wang Yan, "Welcome Teacher Wang Yan and all the top students from Shrek Academy."
Wang Yan and all the students saluted.
Duke Baihu shook hands with Wang Yan and said, "Please come in, everyone. Let me show my hospitality as a host."
Wang Yan smiled and declined politely, "Your Excellency the Duke, you are welcome. We are here to carry out our mission. Just ask us to provide clues, and we will not bother you."
