"But they are traveling at a slow speed. The Sun-Moon Empire has already received the news. The border defense troops have already been stationed here and have been waiting for a long time under the command of many experts."
"Assessment requirements: You must protect Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Xingluo Empire and ensure that she returns to Xingluo safely in the next period of time, and ensure that Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, who are also on a deep adventure, survive."
"The three of them have returned safely to the Xing Luo Empire, and your assessment is successful. If any one of them dies, the assessment will fail, and the punishment will be death."
"The assessment begins now."
The assessment requirements were clearly transmitted into Huo Yuhao's ears, and then the calm voice stopped. After listening to it, he frowned unconsciously.
"What are you going to do?" Huo Qiu'er looked towards the Mingdou Mountains. "It looks like a war is inevitable. Can we easily intervene with our strength?"
Huo Yuhao took out the soul guide goggles from his belt, lowered his head and thought for a while, then put on sunglasses and prepared to go directly to the camp of the Sun and Moon Army.
"That's easy, do you want to come?"
Huo Qiuer was stunned for a moment, then followed him: "What do you want to do?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "War is not about fighting and killing. War is about human relationships and worldly wisdom."
Chapter 386 Encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao
In the western part of Mingdou Mountains, within the border of Sun and Moon Empire.
This is the border between the Sun, Moon and Stars, and there are large armies stationed on both sides of the mountain range.
The endless military camps before your eyes are where the border guards of the Sun-Moon Empire are located.
Compared to Xing Luo, the living standards of the Sun and Moon Border Guards are obviously much better.
The tents where their soldiers live are called tents, but in fact they are not much different from simple bungalows. In addition, there are various soul guides for daily life to ensure the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the army.
Huo Yuhao had already climbed to a high point and stood there with Huo Qiuer, using spiritual detection to carefully observe the Sun and Moon Military Camp.
To be honest, this was also his first time to go deep into the Sun and Moon Army camp for observation, and he was a little surprised.
Logistics can better reflect the combat effectiveness of an army than guns and artillery. I wonder what the Xingluo army's expressions would be if they knew that hundreds of thousands of Sun and Moon soldiers could eat three meals of delicious meat soup a day.
In the military camp, there was a largest tent. Without any guessing, one could tell that the supreme commander must be living there. Huo Yuhao also spotted several powerful figures, all of whom were probably Titled Douluo at level 92 or 93.
Huo Yuhao's face was solemn as he carefully thought about his next plan.
Now, he can only rely on himself.
He couldn't contact Tianmeng, Bingdi, Xuedi, and Yin Lao, so he couldn't borrow their power.
However, despite temporarily losing his greatest support, Huo Yuhao did not panic. On the contrary, he felt a sense of relief and freedom.
He quickly recalled the assessment content given by Pingdan Voice and thought about the feasibility of several plans.
The two of them are now under Huo Yuhao's simulated disguise and no outsiders have discovered them.
This is not only to guard against patrol soldiers in the military camp, but also to guard against detection soul guides in the sky.
"So many high-altitude soul guides... Could it be that the one coming is the Starry Sky Douluo?"
Huo Yuhao frowned and looked up at the sky. There were countless small dots scattered everywhere on the dome, and each of them was a high-altitude detection soul guide.
These high-altitude soul guides are thousands of meters above the ground, detecting all scenes at the border of the Sun Moon Empire and the Mingdou Mountains. Only someone with eagle-like eyesight like Huo Yuhao can see through them one by one.
The first person Huo Yuhao thought of was the famous Star Douluo Ye Yulin.
Among the nine-level soul mentors of the Sun-Moon Empire, he is in no way inferior to the Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen in terms of strength or achievements.
High-altitude soul guides are what he is best at. Now that there are so many high-altitude detection soul guides suspended in the air, there is a high chance that the Starry Sky Douluo is in the military camp.
"It's really funny. Dai Hao is like a blind man in front of the Sun-Moon Empire."
Huo Yuhao grunted and looked at Huo Qiuer, narrowing his eyes slightly.
It seems that he is not only able to rely on himself, but can also unite the strength of another person around him.
Huo Qiuer stood beside him and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Huo Yuhao first asked her an irrelevant question: "Those people from the Holy Spirit Church just called you the Golden Dragon Saintess. Do you know what's going on?"
Huo Qiuer frowned and said, "I don't know."
Huo Yuhao told her: “The Holy Spirit Church will only worship evil soul masters with the most extreme and pure evil abilities as their Holy Sons and Holy Daughters.”
"Do you suspect that I'm an evil soul master?" Huo Qiuer's voice turned a little colder.
Huo Yuhao said for her: “But your martial spirit doesn’t seem to have anything to do with evil abilities.”
Huo Qiu'er paused and said in a deep voice: "I do have a secret method to devour life force, but I don't abuse it. Are you satisfied?"
She looked at Huo Yuhao with cold eyes.
She didn’t know whether Huo Yuhao had guessed her true identity, but since the other party didn’t mention her name, she would not admit it on her own initiative.
"Well, I believe you." Huo Yuhao said, "But I don't have time to criticize you for the time being."
He muttered to himself, "That voice said that it won't be long before Xingluo's people will arrive at the Mingdou Mountains. There is at least a complete elite soul mentor group here, as well as several ninth-level soul mentors and Titled Douluo."
"There are many Xingluo masters. If we ignore them, a fierce battle will surely be inevitable. With just the two of us, we probably won't be able to change anything or save anything."
"If the Sun and Moon Army launches a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell, or if the Starry Sky Douluo uses the legendary Sun and Moon Divine Needle, the consequences will be even more disastrous."
"So now I'm going to end this war early."
……
The Sun and Moon Border Guards are commanded in the camp.
There are currently three level nine soul masters in the tent.
Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin was in the tent, monitoring the scenes of the Sun-Moon Border and the Mingdou Mountains through his high-altitude detection soul guide.
Seen from high above, the Xing Luo army lurking in the Ming Dou Mountains and the White Tiger guards under the command of the White Tiger Duke seemed to be well camouflaged under the big trees, but they had no idea that their every move was being seen clearly by the Starry Sky Douluo.
Starry Sky Douluo snorted coldly, temporarily stopped monitoring and took a short rest.
Using so many high-altitude detection soul guides is a huge consumption. Even he can't use them continuously and can only check them every half an hour.
This is also one of the few good news for Xing Luo. If they were always under the surveillance of Sun and Moon, they would have no chance of winning.
But this is enough, Sun and Moon have a stronger initiative than Xing Luo in all aspects. Xing Luo will never be the opponent of Sun and Moon on the front battlefield.
Ye Yulin couldn't help feeling a little proud in his heart, as his title of Starry Sky Douluo was well-deserved.
On the table in front of him was a sand table used to simulate the battle situation, and on it was the situation of the Mingdou Mountains.
In previous small local wars, the Sun-Moon Empire often lost to Xing Luo, simply because these ninth-level soul masters had been staying in Mingdu and had not actually entered the frontal battlefield.
If the three continental countries did not have a slight advantage in high-end combat power, the Sun and Moon Army would have swept across the continent long ago.
After receiving Xu Tianran's order a few days ago, Ye Yulin immediately set out with several senior soul guides and a priest of the Holy Spirit Church, and quickly rushed from Mingdu to the Mingdou border using a flying soul guide, and commanded the border guards to intercept before Xing Luo and others.
There are many young students in the Xingluo team who cannot use flying soul guides throughout the journey, so their speed is naturally slower than Ye Yulin and others.
Ye Yulin reminded in a deep voice: "Xingluo and the people from the major sects will arrive at Mingdou Mountain Range in an hour at the earliest, or tonight at the latest. Is the Soul Instructor Group ready?"
A ninth-level soul master sitting in front of him said, "Everything is ready and can go into battle at any time."
Ye Yulin nodded.
Another ninth-level soul guide said: "The ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells are also ready."
Ye Yulin nodded and said, "Eighth-level fixed-type soul guide shells can be fired without my approval, but ninth-level shells are not allowed to be fired unless it is absolutely necessary. If you want to fire them, you must get my permission."
"Yes."
Ye Yulin asked again: "Where is the Lord from the Holy Church?"
Another ninth-level soul master whispered, "He has already entered the Mingdou Mountains and said he was going to prepare for some ceremony. We don't know what it is."
Ye Yulin frowned and scolded, "Nonsense, is he planning to attack the Xing Luo army directly, or assassinate the White Tiger Duke?"
"His Royal Highness has ordered that I am now the commander-in-chief of all current operations."
The ninth-level soul master hurriedly said, "He said that he would never act rashly without your information, so please rest assured."
Ye Yulin's expression finally eased a lot.
"Report——"
At this moment, an urgent voice exploded above the military camp, causing all the alarms in the entire camp to sound together.
"Who is it?" Ye Yulin and the other two level nine soul masters all changed color.
At this moment, a soul engineer stumbled into the commander's camp, behind him was a tattered flying soul guide that was almost scrapped.
He seemed to be exhausted, swaying on the ground, barely able to keep his balance. He was breathing heavily, holding a red token in his hand.
There were many soul masters standing outside the commander's camp, but no one dared to stop him.
Ye Yulin had sharp eyes and recognized the attire of the visitor at once. He was a communications soldier in the Sun and Moon Army who was responsible for delivering messages, and should be a sixth-level soul engineer.
The flying soul guides equipped behind them are all characterized by high-speed flight, and can convey military orders to the border at the fastest speed. They are comparable to the speed of ordinary eighth-level flying soul guides. The disadvantage is that they are not durable.
Now all the metal on the wings of the flying soul guide behind the communications soldier began to curl up. Ye Yulin, a ninth-level soul guide, knew that this was the result of forcibly overdrawing soul power to fly at high speed.
In the hand of the communications soldier, there was an eight-clawed fire dragon order, which symbolized the authority of the Sun and Moon royal family.
This means that there is the most urgent news from Mingdu and the royal family, and the signalman has the right to meet directly with the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces and meet the order as if he were meeting His Majesty.
Ye Yulin walked over, gently helped him up, and motioned for him to relax first.
"Don't be anxious, take your time to talk."
A minute later, the signalman's breathing gradually stabilized.
He said urgently: "Your Majesty, something terrible is happening!"
Ye Yulin couldn't help but become anxious as his tone went on: "What happened in Mingdu?"
The signalman's breathing began to quicken again.
"In Mingdu, the Holy Spirit Church suddenly clashed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and kidnapped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty, and several other princes. They are now negotiating with Elder Kong!"
"Mr. Kong orders all the soul guide teams and ninth-level soul guides outside to return to Mingdu immediately. Cough cough - cough -"
He was extremely anxious, and because he wanted to finish his report quickly, his throat started to hurt and he coughed violently, as if he was going to cough out his entire lungs.
"what!"
Ye Yulin and the other two ninth-level soul masters widened their eyes and slammed the table, unable to believe the news.
