Chapter 608: Xuanzi – Move the Soul Cannon Positions Five Meters to the Left!
Among the Star Luo army, the number of soul masters was relatively small compared to regular soldiers. However, these soul masters were the true main force in fighting against the Sun Moon Empire.
After listening to Xu Jiujiu's report, Xuanzi frowned slightly.
In reality, Star Luo Empire had only ten soul master legions, as they were meant to rival the Sun Moon Empire's Hand of the Empire. Their members were carefully selected to ensure quality.
Of course, being a soul master legion didn't mean they didn't use soul tools. However, due to the technological gap, any Star Luo soul master legion was weaker than even a single Sun Moon soul engineer legion.
The further down the rankings, the wider this gap became.
And now, Star Luo's strongest soul master legion the First Soul Master Legion had been completely wiped out, along with its commander, Xuánjī Douluo.
With only nine legions left, the fact that eight had been sent to the border proved just how seriously Star Luo was taking the war.
Xuanzi suggested, "Princess Jiujiu, you should send the last remaining soul master legion here as well."
"But that legion has always guarded Star Luo City. If we move them, it might endanger the capital's security," Xu Jiujiu hesitated.
"Princess Jiujiu! With us here, counterattacking the Sun Moon Empire will be effortless. Instead of worrying about defending Star Luo City, we should focus on conquering Sun Moon cities. After all, taking over enemy territory requires a large number of soul masters," Xuanzi declared confidently.
He knew he had lost to Kong Deming before, but as the Sun Moon Empire's top scientist, Kong Deming wouldn't be on the battlefield he'd stay in Mingdu, protecting the Sun Moon Emperor.
As for the two Ultimate Douluos of the Holy Spirit Cult, Xuanzi wasn't concerned.
Shrek Academy had long planted spies within the Sun Moon Empire to gather intelligence.
On the way to Yuming City, he had received a report stating that the Holy Spirit Cult's Ultimate Douluos had fallen out with Emperor Xu Tianran.
That meant the Holy Spirit Cult would no longer be assisting the Sun Moon Empire.
When Xuanzi saw this intelligence, he immediately realized
This was the perfect chance to launch a counterattack!
With no Ultimate Douluos or Rank 10 Soul Engineers on the enemy side, there was no one who could defeat him in a one-on-one battle.
Even if the Sun Moon Empire deployed multiple Rank 9 soul engineers, he wasn't afraid. After all, Shrek Academy and the Three Empires also had powerful fighters to back him up.
This was his moment his opportunity to turn the tide, restore Shrek's reputation, and make Shrek Academy great again!
Xu Jiujiu nodded. "Alright, Elder Xuanzi. I'll send a message to my royal brother. If he agrees, we'll dispatch the last soul master legion to the border."
She continued, "By the way, Elder Xuanzi, could Shrek's experts join our Star Luo forces in scouting Sun Moon troop movements? We need accurate intelligence to plan our counterattack effectively."
"Of course," Xuanzi agreed immediately.
The other elders also expressed their support.
Xuanzi added, "But to catch the Sun Moon Empire off guard, we shouldn't send too many people. If we all go, they'll immediately realize we've arrived.
Let's send Elder Song she's the fastest and best suited for reconnaissance."
Elder Song nodded. "Xuanzi is right. I'll go."
She stood up from her seat.
Xu Jiujiu looked at Elder Song with gratitude. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Elder Song."
Elder Song simply responded with a soft "Mm." before leaving the temporary command tent to scout the Mingdou Mountains.
Some time later, Elder Song returned.
She addressed the group, "The Sun Moon Empire has deployed a massive number of soul engineer legions along the Mingdou Mountains. The entire area is filled with soul cannon positions, and high-altitude reconnaissance soul tools are everywhere.
I suggest we destroy their aerial surveillance tools first cut off their 'eyes' before launching our attack."
Xuanzi nodded. "Elder Song is right. Princess Jiujiu, as the acting commander, what do you think?"
Xu Jiujiu thought for a moment, then said, "I agree with Elder Song. I'll have our Star Luo experts assist in executing this plan."
Xuanzi smiled.
"By the way, Princess Jiujiu
On my way to Yuming City, I noticed that Star Luo's artillery positions outside the city seemed poorly placed.
I suggest moving them five meters to the left.
That way, our artillery coverage will be more effective, dealing greater damage to the Sun Moon forces!"
Xu Jiujiu hesitated.
"Elder Xuanzi… Are you sure this will work?"
Although she was new to military command, she had studied war strategy and had some knowledge of tactics.
But when she heard Xuanzi's bizarre request, she began to doubt herself.
"Of course it will work!" Xuanzi said confidently.
"Princess Jiujiu, I've already named this counterattack plan
The Great Mingdou Counteroffensive!
I, along with other powerful fighters, will attack from the right.
This will force the Sun Moon powerhouses to focus on us and launch their strongest attacks our way.
Meanwhile, the weaker Sun Moon soldiers will retreat leftward, trying to put distance between themselves and us.
This is because soul engineers fight best at long range they will instinctively move away from close combat.
And when they do
The moved artillery positions will be perfectly placed to wipe them out!"
Xu Jiujiu was shocked by Xuanzi's reasoning.
He actually sounded like he knew what he was talking about.
Maybe his previous failures like protecting Shrek students' families and hunting Zhongli Wu were just bad luck and not his fault.
She finally said, "Elder Xuanzi, your strategy is brilliant!"
Mingdou Mountains – Sun Moon Temporary Command Tent
Wearing fiery red armor, Juzi turned to Huo Yuhao and said,
"Yuhao, by now, that Shrek Elder Song should have returned to the Star Luo camp and delivered the 'false intelligence'.
If we weren't trying to bait them into our trap, she never would have been allowed to escape.
After all
Grandmaster Kong is also in the Mingdou Mountains.
And with his strength, a Rank 97 Super Douluo like her wouldn't stand a chance!"
The so-called "false intelligence" had been deliberately fabricated.
