Volume 32, Chapter 428.2: Light of the Death God (1/2)

After seeing the Light of the Death God, Huo Yuhao realized that he couldn’t do anything. He could only pray in his heart, and hope that the Death God Douluo wasn’t a Class 10 soul engineer.

The Sun Moon Empire was already supported by the Holy Ghost Church. If the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao teamed up with a Class 10 soul engineer, would the three empires of the Douluo Continent still have a future?

Huo Yuhao knew that he couldn’t continue being a trooper. No matter how much he liked being in a military camp and guiding his own younger brother, the safety of the continent was more important than his own wishes.

He had to return and tell the Academy about the situation here right away, so that the Sea God’s Pavilion could make a decision. This concerned the future of the Douluo Continent. Shrek Academy definitely couldn’t sit and watch as everything unfolded. It was just that he didn’t know whether the Spirit Pagoda had been fully constructed. Fortunately, it seemed like there wouldn’t be any action taken by the Great Star Dou Forest for the moment.

After taking one more deep look in the direction of the Ming Dou Mountain Range where the Light of the Death God had been unleashed from, Huo Yuhao bit his lip forcefully before turning around and quickly flying to the east.

There wasn’t any need to watch the fighting here. The Sun Moon Empire didn’t need to attack. They just needed to guard the Ming Dou Mountain Range, and they would achieve victory. As for the Heavenly Soul Empire, it was probably too late for any news to be sent to them. The Sun Moon Empire’s attack should have already started.

What Huo Yuhao could do now was immediately return to the Academy and recount everything he had witnessed so that the Academy would know how to prepare. At the same time, they could make a decision.

He couldn’t be bothered to tell Xu Yun as he rushed back. To him, every second and minute was now extremely crucial. After crossing the Star Luo Empire’s military camp, he rapidly flew across Imperial Radiant City. After he passed the entire region covered by the military, he activated his flying-type soul tool and increased its speed to the maximum.

The view beneath him changed continuously, and the night air was very clear. It was also slightly damp. One would normally feel refreshed after taking in a deep breath. However, Huo Yuhao only felt very cold and anxious inside.

After the Sun Moon Empire started their attacks, they were actually so terrifying. It was something no one had expected. Even though they fought on two fronts, it was likely that they would still be able to suppress two empires at the same time. What should they do?

The Star Luo Empire’s temporary commander’s tent...

The White Tiger Duke Dai Hao looked very grim right now. Beside him was Princess Jiujiu, wearing a suit of white armor.

Xu Jiujiu look equally grim, and her expression was also a little pale.

The fighting had already stopped, but the hazy Ming Dou Mountain Range seemed to epitomize the gloom that hung over the Star Luo Empire right now. When the Light of the Death God swept across earlier, she felt as if her heart had been torn apart. Two hundred soul masters who were at least Soul Sages had been killed! The number included more than ten Soul Douluo. This was an unprecedently huge blow to the Star Luo Empire.

More importantly, they weren’t able to hurt their enemies at all, even after they suffered such heavy casualties. This was completely unacceptable.

She was the one who had devised their strategy. After all, all the soul master legions were under her control.

The White Tiger Duke’s original plan had been to send some strong individuals to destroy the Sun Moon Empire’s blockade in the air before thinking of a way to make a breakthrough.

However, Xu Jiujiu was a little confused when she heard that the Sun Moon Empire hadn’t kept anyone on the border. She was fully aware that the Star Luo Empire would be in a crisis if the Heavenly Soul Empire fell. It was why she insisted on sending soul masters that were at least Soul Sages to probe and drain the Sun Moon Empire’s defenses. After that, they could take them down in one fell swoop.

However, the final result mercilessly proved that her strategy was a mistake. Leading the soul master legions as a princess of the Star Luo Empire, she had only brought huge losses and casualties to them. Right now, all the commanders of the soul master legions were present. All of them looked very dismal, and the way they looked at Princess Jiujiu was very different from before.

After taking a deep breath, Xu Jiujiu stood up and bowed. She wasn’t a person who shirked her responsibilities. “Today’s defeat is on me. I was the one who made the decision, and my incorrect strategy brought us heavy losses. Marshal, I’ll account to His Majesty myself. At the same time, I’ll fully coordinate with all of you from now on, and listen to all of your arrangements.”

Xu Jiujiu was an important member of the imperial family. She was fully aware that the most important thing for the Star Luo Empire right now was resisting the Sun Moon Empire. She put down her face as a princess and admitted her mistake to the White Tiger Duke.

Dai Hao stood up and walked over to Xu Jiujiu’s side. He made a lifting gesture, and lifted her up with his soul power. “Your Highness, you don’t have to act like this. Our failure this time cannot be attributed to you alone. As a marshal, I’m not blameless, either. Furthermore, things happened beyond our expectations. The Sun Moon Empire unleashed that ray of white light from the Ming Dou Mountain Range. We don’t even know what it is. However, I can clearly sense that even a Titled Douluo wouldn’t have been able to resist it.
