Chapter 568 The Collision of Two Eras [4000 Words]
"Chaoguang, what do you mean?"
In the room, Long Aotian looked at the small box handed over by Qian Chaoguang, feeling a little confused.
He knows this thing.
Invincible shield.
In the previous continent-wide soul master competition, Qian Chaoguang relied on this inconspicuous gadget to fight his strongest attack without any damage.
According to his limited understanding, this invincible shield seems to be level six, the top version that can defend against a single strike from a Titled Douluo.
"Hold it to defend yourself."
Qian Chaoguang stuffed the invincible shield into Long Aotian's hand.
"The battle to defend Tiandou City will definitely be a tough battle. There are at least eight or more ninth-level soul engineers on the side of the Sun and Moon Empire, as well as many titled Douluo from the Holy Spirit Sect. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and an extra minute of preparation will save a life."
Long Aotian refused decisively and tried to return the invincible shield: "This is too valuable, I can't take it. Why don't you give this level 6 invincible shield to Xiaotong, my self-protection ability is not weak."
Qian Chaoguang casually took out two more and said jokingly: "Brother Long, have you forgotten what I do? You guys, the invincible shield that our Noumenon Sect used in previous competitions was bought from me. , how could I lack this?”
"Just hold it steadily. After all, we are now brothers in the same discipline. Why are you being polite to me? If something happens to you, what do you want Wei Na to do?"
Vina
makes sense.
Otherwise I will.
Long Aotian fell silent and looked at the soul shield in his hand thoughtfully.
Qian Chaoguang could tell what he was thinking at a glance and said, "Weina has it herself. She ordered a lot from me in the name of the royal family. Don't worry about it. Maybe she will do it later."
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
As soon as he said this, there was a rapid knock on the door.
The expression on Qian Chaoguang's face was a little strange.
Do you really mean that Cao Cao is here?
"Brother Aotian, are you in there? Have I come in?"
Sure enough, Vina's voice came from outside, and she pushed the door open and entered.
"Ah! Chaoguang, are you there too?"
"Well, I came to talk to Brother Long about something. I've already finished talking."
Looking at the invincible shield in Wei Na's hand, Qian Chaoguang gave Long Aotian a "Look how accurate your guess is!" look, and while he was still dazed, he ran away decisively and helped the two of them. The person closed the door.
Wei Na glanced at the leaving Qian Chaoguang in confusion, and her eyes were suddenly attracted by the identical sixth-level invincible shield in Long Aotian's hand.
"Eh? Brother Aotian, where did you get the invincible shield?"
The next day, early morning.
The smell of gunpowder smoke was everywhere inside and outside the ancient city.
Although gunpowder and explosives have long been eliminated from Douluo Continent's war technology system, the chilling atmosphere of war has not diminished at all.
The sky was gloomy, with large dark clouds slowly drifting in, as if there would be a downpour at any time.
The city wall directly west of Tiandou City is already covered with soul guides.
Countless Zhuge Divine Ballistas and various soul tools formed an airtight metal defense line, occupying almost the entire middle and rear of the city wall.
The other three walls are all the same.
Surrounded on all sides, the city is armed like a metal forest.
However, just outside this metal forest, there is a vast and vast metal forest densely covered.
Fifty miles west of Tiandou City, everywhere is full of murderous intent.
In the sky, densely packed soul detection devices have risen, and their targets are all pointing in the direction of Tiandou City.
On the ground, large areas of soul guidance devices formed one huge soul guidance device formation after another.
Countless all-terrain self-propelled soul-guided turrets were arranged in a neat square formation, ready to go.
This soul guide formation is like a huge mouth of the abyss that has opened. Countless rotating steel fangs may shatter Tiandou City into pieces at any time.
The Emperor of the Tianhun Empire has personally climbed onto the west side of the city wall, and countless powerful soul masters are standing around him.
He held the soul guide telescope and looked from a distance, looking at the war beast in action.
On the top of the city, everything was quiet, except for the subtle buzzing of the soul power fluctuations emitted by the soul guide.
That's it, there's no need to say anything more.
The defensive tactics had been laid out a few days ago, and the swearing-in meeting had been held last night.
Today is the battle that determines the life and death of the Tianhun Empire.
Countless Heavenly Soul soldiers in battle armor stood on top of a hundred-meter-high wall.
Some people had nervousness in their eyes, holding onto their own weapons with both hands, sweating profusely.
The eyes of more people are filled with perseverance, exuding an aura of looking back at death from the inside out.
Less than ten kilometers away from Tiandou City, countless soul masters and soldiers have formed a neat military formation.
The broad view can even see the city head directly.
The evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult followed the two wings of the army, and their bodies were constantly filled with evil and cold auras.
As the marshal, Orange stood proudly on the command platform in the center of the military formation, wearing red armor and protected by two ninth-level soul masters.
"What a Heavenly Soul Empire, what a Heavenly Dou City, let me see why you can stop my Sun and Moon Army!"
Her eyes swept over everyone, fighting spirit rising in her eyes, and her voice spread throughout the entire army through the soul amplifier.
"Send my order and the whole army will attack!"
"yes!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison, and the deafening roar filled the entire military camp with excitement.
They have been waiting for this day for a long time.
Taking over Tiandou City would mean that the Sun and Moon Empire had achieved a major victory in this holy war.
The capital of the Tianhun Empire has changed hands, which means that the entire Tianhun Empire is not far away from falling.
Now is a great time to be the first to achieve success!
In the eyes of the soldiers and soul masters of the Sun and Moon Empire, the army of the Heavenly Soul Empire was extremely weak and would collapse in one blow.
It's just fish meat on the chopping board to be slaughtered.
"Woo-wu-wu-"
Countless ancient horns sounded together, and a low hum echoed throughout Tiandou City.
The Soul Engineer Group of the Sun and Moon Empire launched almost at the same time.
Among them, four beast king-level soul mentor groups, headed by the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group, took off one after another and formed a neat square array in the air, facing Tiandou City in the distance.
On the ground, various soul engineer groups that had been prepared in advance were also ready to move the large-scale war soul guide forward.
Various custom-installed soul-guided artillery shells are ready, and the soul-guided cannon has begun to charge, keeping it ready to be activated at any time.
With the Soul Engineer Legion as the vanguard, an army of 200,000 followed closely behind, advancing steadily.
On top of the Tianhun Empire city, the Tianhun Emperor personally issued orders.
Hundreds of Zhuge Divine Ballistae have been loaded, waiting for the Sun and Moon Empire to enter the attack range.
The two soul master legions supported by Xing Luo and Tianhun's own six soul master regiments have all activated their martial souls and are ready for battle.
Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong stood at a corner of the city wall, standing together with the disciples of the Noumenon Sect.
He looked at the formation of the Sun and Moon Empire troops and said to Huo Yutong in the soul link: "Do you see anything?"
Huo Yutong's eyes lit up with a hint of purple, and he replied: "The Sun and Moon Empire is exploring and has already summarized some war essentials based on soul guides."
"Yes, that's right." Qian Chaoguang nodded slightly, "The war potential of the Sun and Moon Empire is terrifying, and Orange is a person who is good at summarizing gains and losses."
"In just over twenty days of fighting, she has already figured out some prototypes of modern warfare. Although she has not yet broken away from the method of dispatching troops and generals in cold weapon warfare, it is still extremely rare."
Huo Yutong's gaze extended and locked on the orange in the distance, and sighed: "For now, these 200,000 ordinary soldiers don't seem to play a decisive role at all. They are more like a cheering and cheering atmosphere group."
"You are right, this is the horror of modern warfare." Qian Chaoguang praised, "With powerful enough technology, the gap in numbers can be easily smoothed out."
"In modern warfare, the number of people is no longer the decisive factor in determining whether the war can be won. With the gradual development of weapons, this will be more vividly reflected."
"From the high road to simplicity, the means of warfare have once again developed backwards, and in many cases they have become simpler. There will no longer be the 'wonderful' battles like in the cold weapon era, and they will even become very boring and monotonous."
"Bored? Why?" Huo Yutong asked curiously.
Qian Chaoguang pointed to a large number of soul cannons in the distance: "With the support of a strong industrial system, there is only one most efficient fighting method left in future wars."
"What?"
"The soul guide cannon cleans the ground."
Huo Yutong quickly reacted: "You mean, after the soul-guided cannon conducts saturation bombing, it will directly knock the opponent into the sky? Then the subsequent soldiers may only need to clean the battlefield. It may be difficult to see the soldiers charging into the battle bravely. It’s like he’s the first to get there.”
"That's it. In the future, the human factor will become smaller and smaller in frontal battles, but its role behind the scenes will also become larger and larger." Qian Chaoguang nodded slightly, "This war has entered a hot war from the era of cold weapons. The battle of weapons war has begun."
While the two brothers and sisters were talking, the four great hands of national protection were already hovering in the air five miles away and no longer moving forward.
Groups of strong light began to condense in the air, like bright lights hanging in the sky.
These four beast king-level soul mentor groups were stagnated in four areas respectively, dispersed according to their respective formations, and corresponded to Tiandou City from a distance.
They never need to take action in the first round of attacks.
Their main role is to monitor the entire battlefield and fill in the gaps.
Orange has walked down from the previous high platform and entered the temporary tent.
Inside the commander's tent are various soul guidance screens, and countless soldiers are busy in front and behind these soul guidance screens.
They are connected to various types of high-altitude detection soul guides in the sky, which can project the entire battlefield here.
This allows Orange to make better judgments based on the battlefield situation, and then rely on the soul communicator to convey orders to the bottom.
On the side of the Sun and Moon Empire, which had numerous detection equipment, Orange had a clear view of the entire war situation.
It has to be said that the Sun Moon Empire has completely destroyed the original Douluo Three Kingdoms in terms of information control alone.
One is a God's perspective that provides an overview of the whole situation, and the other is a partial image that can only be observed with the naked eye. The difference should not be too big.
"fire!"
Accompanied by the roaring sound of Emperor Tianhun using his soul power, countless Zhuge Divine Ballistas roared and spit out fixed soul-guided cannonballs one after another.
Five miles, this is the distance that most fixed soul cannons can achieve.
Coupled with the hundred-meter-high city wall, the ultimate bombardment distance can be further than the original basis.
In the direction of Tiandou City, a ball of light suddenly rose into the sky from the city, almost covering the sky and the sun.
Each ball of fire symbolized a fixed soul-guided artillery shell, roaring towards the direction of the Sun and Moon Empire's army with a terrifying and sharp sound.
There is no need for Orange to command, the Sun and Moon Army has already taken defensive measures on its own.
Countless anti-air soul guides formed an interception network and launched a more violent attack, blasting numerous fixed soul guide shells into the air.
The four great hands of protecting the country also showed their own power at this moment.
Under their precise control, one after another, the fixed soul-guided artillery shells that had managed to escape the anti-aircraft firepower network were named and fired one after another, and almost only a few of them could land on the head of the army.
As the soul skills of several powerful soul masters rose, the first round of bombardment from the Tiandou Empire barely caused any effective damage.
At this time, the Sun and Moon Empire had not been able to develop a super-large-scale linked soul guide, nor had it developed the three major killer weapons of light energy conversion and high-energy compression array soul guide.
Therefore, they can only rely on the most "traditional" methods to intercept.
The rate of fire of the Zhuge God Ballista is terrifying.
Just after one round, the second round of blows came again.
After judging the intensity of the first round of attacks, the headquarters of each soul master group simultaneously issued orders not to intercept, but skillfully opened large defensive shields.
The counterattack of the Sun and Moon Empire has begun.
At this moment, the earth is lit up by all kinds of lights.
Countless thick rays of light blasted out, accompanied by countless fixed soul-guided cannonballs, flying towards the top of Tiandou City like raindrops.
"not good!"
Emperor Tianhun secretly said, and the originally bad color on his face instantly became more gloomy.
The attack intensity of both the enemy and ourselves is not at the same level at all.
A large number of fixed soul-guided artillery shells landed on the giant shield of the Sun and Moon Empire, which could only stir up a large number of ripples, making it almost impossible to cause effective damage to the soldiers inside.
But the powerful counterattack that followed was not something that the Heavenly Soul Empire could easily resolve.
They don't have such a thing as a giant soul shield.
All they have are soul masters!
Led by several Titled Douluo, dozens of powerful Contra warriors jumped up from the wall.
Hundreds of soul rings of various colors complement each other, dozens of martial soul avatars are displayed together, and all kinds of gorgeous soul skills are released together, rendering the entire sky above Tiandou City a magnificent colorful light.
The attacks launched by both sides collided in mid-air, and the soul guides and soul skills burst out with earth-shattering roars.
The first round of counterattack by the Sun and Moon Empire was fierce, but was easily resolved by many powerful soul masters.
(Good news: All kinds of discomforts have been slightly relieved. Bad news: I have Yang. Alas.)
