"I still prefer the cold ammonia in the north! Over there, my combat effectiveness will increase by at least 30%." Huo Yuhao said helplessly, feeling the hot and humid air.
Tang Wutong covered his mouth and smiled softly, and said: "Didn't the trip to the ice sea teach you enough lessons?"
Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement and said: " Of course, it taught me enough lessons. This trip to the ice sea told me that I must not go to other people's nests to fight against them. There is really no chance. Although the sea princess is powerful, if she is on land, or It's a relatively fair place. We can't beat it, so we still have a good chance of running. But in the depths of the ice sea, there is really no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the earth."
Tang Wutong asked: "Has the target been selected?"
Huo Yuhao nodded and pointed on the map.
Haiyue City!
A smile appeared at the corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth. This was not the first time for him to come to this place. Back then, everyone from the Tang Sect quietly entered the Sun Moon Empire through waterways to rescue the three nations of the Douluo Continent and participate in the Soul Fighting in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy. The young talents in the competition passed through Haiyue City, and it was here that they rented a boat.
I chose to attack this city, one reason is that it is an important town in the southern sea area of the Sun and Moon Empire, and the other is to confuse the Sun and Moon Empire, so that they will at least produce one of themselves and others who may enter from the sea area. Thoughts of borders.
Half a day later. Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong appeared in Haiyue City.
After just a slight turn, Huo Yuhao left the city again, opened the Gate of the Dead outside the city, and summoned all three groups of soul engineers.
The small Haiyue City naturally does not need to mobilize troops like this. But being stuck in the demiplane of the undead for a long time can easily lead to problems. Therefore, we always let everyone come out to show off. And this Haiyue City is the best place.
The defense in the south is even more lax than in the north, because the strength of the sea soul beasts in the southern sea is weaker than that in the north. Moreover, most of them are active in the deep sea. The Sun and Moon Empire has a specialized fleet that captures marine life in the southern seas. After all, there are no ice floes here, and there is no severe cold, so the operation is relatively easy.
The garrison of Haiyue City is only two thousand people. There are two thousand ordinary soldiers, and they are both good and bad.
Thirty Zhuge Divine Ballistas fired a salvo, and the wall on one side of Haiyue City turned into ruins. The next step is easy. plunder!
The three largest warehouses in Haiyue City have all been evacuated. Not only are there food, but there are also many specialties and money from the southern coastal cities. Compared to the north, there is more money. There is much less food. After all, guarding the sea, there is no shortage of food for them.
After all the money was looted, Huo Yuhao led three groups of soul engineers without even entering the gate of the dead, but directly left.
The Tangmen Soul Mentor Regiment and the Fort Soul Mentor Regiment divided into two groups and attacked two cities not far from Haiyue City.
The south is much richer and has more cities than the north. It can be seen from the situation of Haiyue City that nearby cities do not have strong defenses, especially those two cities are not as large as Haiyue City.
It only took one day. All three cities were looted. Because there would be no shortage of food in the south, in the end, even the granaries were not plundered. Act directly on property. There is also the search for rare metals. Although rare metals cannot be too much in these southern cities. But there are always some high-altitude detection soul guides in the sky. If you shoot them down, they are also rare metals!
After all three cities were plundered, Huo Yuhao reopened the Gate of the Dead in the wilderness. The three soul master legions that had exhausted most of their energy were restored to their own demiplane of the undead.
With this day of relaxation, their mental state is enough to return to their best. Especially the looted property. Many of them will be distributed directly to them.
These soul mentors have nothing to do in the demiplane of the undead, under the organization of everyone in the Tang Sect. He even began to dig out rocks in the demiplane of the dead to build his own house. Although it is definitely not beautiful, its practicality is still good and it has begun to take shape. When they go out to fight, they will leave all their belongings and go to the battlefield with the best equipment.
Returning to the demiplane of the undead, Huo Yuhao marked a few more densely populated cities on the map. This is their goal tomorrow.
In this way, in just five days, Huo Yuhao led three groups of soul mentors to appear and disappear in the south of the Sun and Moon Empire, sweeping through twelve medium-sized cities in succession.
He did not choose a big city because it is likely to have stronger defense capabilities. Because of the forward operations, the defenders of the medium-sized cities were almost exhausted. The capture of these twelve cities was effortless. Several huge warehouses were filled with looted property. Now Shrek's three soul mentor groups have no feeling at all when they look at the gold soul coins. They are piled up in the demiplane and no one is moving.
In twelve cities, even rare metals were plundered from the private collections of some great nobles, and twenty-six various high-altitude detection soul guides were also seized, although most of them were It was shot down directly from the air and scrapped. But the rare metals in the structure can still be used! These are all good things.
……
"Bang!" Xu Tianran smashed the table next to him with a slap, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Good news came from the front line five days ago that the entire Tianhun Empire except Shrek City had been occupied. This also means that the Heavenly Soul Empire has been completely destroyed and merged into the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire.
This good news made a person like Xu Tianran, who has a strong sense of restraint, get drunk.
However, just a few days after the good news came back, bad news followed.
There is no trace of the soul master group that was causing trouble in the north, as if it had never existed. But the south suffered another strong attack. In just a few days, Xu Tianran had received emergency calls from twelve cities in the south. The southern coastal area is already in chaos. Everyone is in danger.
You must know that the southern coast is an important source of income for the Sun and Moon Empire. The annual income of a medium-sized city there is enough to be equivalent to a large city in the north.
Twelve cities were looted. Although the number of casualties was not large, the panic and destruction caused to the south was huge. People in the south are panicking, this will definitely shake his rule!
Could it be that the group of people who were still in the north more than ten days ago arrived in the south without anyone noticing? How is this possible?
"Your Majesty! I think these thieves probably took the sea route." The Prime Minister said in a deep voice.
Xu Tianran looked at him, "Sea route? They attacked the north before, how could they reach by sea?"
The north of the Sun and Moon Empire is an ice sea, and the ice sea is adjacent to the Arctic Icefield. The harsh climate of the far north ice sheet, no one knows what it is like further away. It is simply impossible to bypass the Arctic Ice Sheet from further north.
The old prime minister said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is not impossible. What if they didn't come from the north from the beginning? We have heavy troops on the border, and they have a huge number and scale It is difficult for even a fly to fly over, let alone the soul mentor group, and the only place where our high-altitude detection soul guide cannot detect is the sea. The thieves set out from the southern seaport of the Star Luo Empire, bypassed the South China Sea of our country through the guard ship of the soul master group in the deeper waters, and then headed north along the west coastline, almost bypassing two-thirds of our country's coastline. Then, they can Arrive in the north. Although there are ice floes in the northern ice sea, they are still very few in the area close to the mainland, and there are very few detection soul guides there, so they were able to defeat them in one fell swoop. It’s not impossible.”
"These guys are very cunning. After conquering Oak City and Dongyang City, they immediately boarded the boat and escaped. They returned along the original route and headed straight to the south of our country. When they arrived in the south, they launched another offensive. This one from the north to the south. The ship travels thousands of miles, giving us the feeling that there are enemies everywhere. And once the attack is completed, they can escape again, so that we can not find their whereabouts at any time. Within the Luo Empire, this strategy is not subtle!”
Hearing what the old prime minister said, Xu Tianran was shocked. This is indeed possible! And it's very possible. If this is the case, its confusion is understandable.
“But why don’t they attack the cities in the west of our country?” Xu Tianran asked with some confusion.
The Prime Minister said: "The main reason why we do not attack the city to the west is that it is too far away from the Star Luo Empire, and our Mingdu is relatively close to the west. Once we discover their true situation, we will send a powerful army of soul engineers to attack them. , they will have nowhere to hide. Moreover, it is easier for us to guess their purpose from the north to the west. It is more advantageous to go back to the south to attack and retreat."
< br>Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes slightly, "Prime Minister, how do you think we should respond?" The Prime Minister's eyes flashed coldly and he said solemnly, "Your Majesty, at this time, we must make a decisive decision. These thieves are very cunning, and their commander-in-chief They must be extremely smart people. Our country's coastline is so long that it is almost difficult to find their traces in the depths of the sea. Since they can travel from north to south in just ten days, they may even be able to reach the surface of the ice. Ice is included. Then, their ships must be propelled and protected by soul guides. If they are not our opponents, they will find another way. Like maggots in the tarsus, they must be swept away as soon as possible, otherwise they will continue to destroy the foundation of our country’s economy.”
