Chapter 270 Action Begins ( words)
The next day.

Tang Ya brought everyone from the Tang Sect to see them off. The soul-guided flying vehicles and other soul-guided weapons on these people had been upgraded by the soul guides of the three empires and Shrek. The difficulty of this mission was far beyond their imagination.

Flying up, all kinds of fireworks appeared on their bodies. They were extremely fast, almost ignoring the loss of soul power to drive the flying soul guide. At an altitude of several thousand meters, Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei flew in front as the captains, and behind them were some elite soldiers drawn from the three empires.

Shrek's students, in addition to the original Shrek Seven Devils, also include Wang Qiuer and disciples from some sects' families. As for the original members of the Shrek team, none of them participated.

When the flying soul guide reaches level 7, there is basically no need to worry about the problems that happened to Master Xuan. However, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the consumption of soul power has also increased a lot. Except for the three soul saints from the three empires, the rest are all soul emperors. Long-term flying is very stressful for them.

However, the three empires were really generous and gave some sealed milk bottles, which relieved their pressure. However, the three empires did not provide many sealed milk bottles, because the sealed milk bottles were originally controlled by the Sun and Moon Empire, and getting these was already the limit.

The plan of the three empires is actually very simple. It does not seek to rescue everyone. It only needs to rescue the royal members of the three empires. As for the other members, they can take their time.

However, the most painful thing is that we don’t even know where the people are being held. Moreover, according to reports from spies deployed by the three empires in places like the Sun and Moon Empire, all we know is that some people are being held in Maple Leaf City, and these people are being used for personnel exchange.

The rest is unclear, and no useful information can be obtained. It is obvious that the Sun-Moon Empire has made sufficient preparations this time. To be honest, both Tianmeng Bingcan and Bingdi have no hope for this operation.

"Brother Tianmeng, can you help me find the location of those people when the time comes?" Huo Yuhao asked Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"I can try, but after arriving at the Sun-Moon Empire, I will try to use as little force as possible. There are many humans with terrifying strength in the Sun-Moon Empire. If my presence is discovered, we will all die." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm has not yet recovered from the terrifying strength of Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui at that time.

After Elder Mu left, those two old guys became the strongest humans in Douluo Continent. Now the Ice Emperor has completely merged with Huo Yuhao, and no longer has the strength of one of the three kings of the Far North.

"You should be careful. Some evil spirit masters in the Sun-Moon Empire are as powerful as Master Mu. If they discover your secret, even Master Mu will not be able to save you. You should know how attractive a 400,000-year-old torso bone and a million-year-old spirit ring are!"

In fact, the Ice Emperor did not want Huo Yuhao to participate in this operation. After sensing the aura of the Snow Emperor at the auction last time, the Ice Emperor had not heard any news about the Snow Emperor. After Du Bu Si attacked Mingde Hall, he asked Huo Yuhao to ask Du Bu Si, but the answer he got was that the embryo was broken and the Snow Emperor exploded...

Xuedi is dead...

This is the thing that Bingdi least wants to admit, and since then, Bingdi has rarely spoken.

"I understand, Ice Emperor..."

Watching the scenery passing by quickly, the group split into two groups and headed towards the Sun-Moon Empire. One group, led by Wang Qiuer, headed for Maple Leaf City, while the other group flew towards the Mingdou Mountains, intending to head to the Sun-Moon Empire from another direction.

In case one team is defeated, the other team can continue to complete the mission.

As the two teams parted ways, Huo Yuhao and his group continued to fly southwest. After flying for more than an hour, they slowly landed in a city in the Star Luo Empire to rest.

The consumption of a seventh-level soul guide is enormous, not to mention that the number of sealed bottles is limited and not everyone can have one, so they need to stop and rest for a while after flying a certain distance.

As they continued to advance, they were getting closer and closer to the Mingdou Mountains. Except for the first few times when they chose to rest in the city, Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei chose some remote places for their later rest. Judging from the current situation, what they needed now was to avoid the spies of the Sun Moon Empire.

The three great empires have spies in the Sun-Moon Empire, and the Sun-Moon Empire naturally also has spies in the three great empires.

The development of soul guides is extremely rapid. The three empires attach so much importance to the development of soul guides because they were beaten by the Sun-Moon Empire with soul guides in their early years and almost lost their parents. After suffering such a big loss, they naturally know the benefits of soul guides. The reason for avoiding cities is to reduce some unnecessary troubles. After all, some cities are prohibited from flying without permission.

Moreover, their actions were a little too conspicuous. The previous stops were because that was part of the plan, and some of their supplies and intelligence needed to be handed over there.

The long journey made everyone exhausted. Although his soul power was consumed too much, Huo Yuhao was still energetic when looking at the map.

"In another day, we will reach the southern border of the Xingluo Empire. We cannot enter the Sun-Moon Empire by normal roads. The Sun-Moon Empire is now under martial law. We can only see if we can take the sea trade route."

"Captain, I can find some caravans in the South China Sea. I think we can disguise ourselves as merchants and go to the Sun-Moon Empire." A member from the Star Luo Empire spoke slowly.

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up with joy. "Okay, when we get to the port, I'll leave the business of the caravan to you."

"Yuhao, can we take the water route this time?" Xu Sanshi couldn't help but ask.

Beibei said, "There are risks, but judging from the current situation, we can't cross the border by normal land routes. Since the last negotiation, according to the news from the Xingluo Empire, the Mingdou Mountains have been under more martial law, and some new faces have come over. Although there has been no conflict between the two sides, the situation is much more serious than in previous years."

"In other words, Wang Qiuer's team is just bait?" He Caitou looked at Huo Yuhao and asked.

"It's not all bait. Their team has strong men from the three empires and the academy secretly following them. Regardless of whether they succeed or fail, their situation is much better than ours, and their mission is more severe than ours. Our mission this time is not to save people, but to find the place where the hostages are being held. With our overall strength of Soul Emperors and three Soul Saints, we can still escape unscathed if we encounter a Soul Master Corps of 1,000 people. But if we encounter the elite Soul Master Corps from last time, I guess we won't be able to save ourselves."

Their plan was not all about splitting up the troops, and the rescue plan did not necessarily have to be completed. They were very clear about their own strength, and they were not so arrogant as to think that they could succeed on their own even with the Sun Moon Empire's army watching them covetously. Apart from anything else, the Ming capital defense army alone beat them so hard that they had to flee in panic last time...

The shadow of the last time still haunted Xu Sanshi and his men. When they were fleeing in Mingdu, the city defense troops of Mingdu kept pouring out like a nightmare, bombarding with all kinds of soul guides. The combat effectiveness of the Mingdu city defense troops alone had surpassed more than half of the armies of the three empires. Those city defense troops were well-trained, and the person who was in charge of commanding them that time also had strong command ability. With the blessing of soul guides, the combat effectiveness that erupted at that time was truly amazing!

"That's right. We can't handle Mingdu's city defense alone..." Jiang Nannan still hasn't forgotten those terrifying city defense troops.

If they were not in Mingdu City at that time, she would not have doubted that those guys would directly bring out the fixed-type soul guide cannonballs...

Huo Yuhao looked around at everyone and said, “This time we need to avoid the Sun-Moon Empire’s eyes and ears. Only if we are sufficiently concealed can the risk of us being exposed be greatly reduced. So no matter what situation we encounter next, we must try not to conflict with the people of the Sun-Moon Empire.”

The Extreme Individual Soldier Plan taught this kind of combat method of breaking into the enemy's rear, but when Xu He thought of the glorious record of the Body Sect's direct raid on Mingde Hall, he didn't find it strange, not to mention that Du Bu Si was the leader of the Body Sect's bandit group...

Ahem…The leader of the Body Sect.

If he were to follow He Caitou's plan, his plan would be similar to Huo Yuhao's, but he would not choose collective action. Instead, he would break up into smaller units, choose a destination in advance, and then disperse and meet up at the destination.

After two days of traveling across the Star Luo Empire, they had already arrived at the South China Sea border of the Star Luo Empire from Shrek Academy.

“Fan Xi, I’ll leave the ship matters to you. Our current identity is merchants, so everyone should dress up. Our current outfits are not the same as those in class.” Huo Yuhao reminded everyone.

"Wang Dong, is Su Yu here?" Huo Yuhao habitually said Wang Dong'er's name when she was still dressed as a man.

Wang Dong'er blushed, "He should be here. I told him about this plan. He said that he would meet us at the border when necessary, but once we enter the Sun Moon Empire, he will not interfere. If we are caught, maybe the hall master can give him some face and our lives will not be in danger."

"That's great. There are seven or eight hundred people captured this time. It's impossible for us nineteen to rescue them all. What we need to do is to find out the situation of the hostages first. As for whether we can rescue them, it's still unknown. So what we need to do now is to protect ourselves. Everyone, take a rest first and prepare to board the ship later."

After settling everyone down, the Soul Emperor of the Xingluo Empire named Fan Xi began to arrange the passenger ship, and the rest of the people also began their disguises.

Jiang Nannan's golden hair was so eye-catching that at Huo Yuhao's request, her golden hair was dyed black, and even their clothes had to be changed.

Wang Dong'er is still wearing men's clothes. Her long pale blue hair has been dyed black and tied into a neat high ponytail. Although her face has been disguised to a certain extent, Wang Dong'er's temperament is really proud and independent.

As a last resort, Wang Dong'er is the son of a wealthy family in the caravan...

Appearance can be changed, but temperament is difficult to change. Just like Beibei, his outstanding temperament cannot be disguised as an ordinary person.

Fortunately, the rest of his traits could be changed, and Huo Yuhao could disguise himself as a caravan guard very well. This was because, although Huo Yuhao was an illegitimate son of a noble, he had never received any aristocratic education.

Looking at the sparkling sea, everyone had mixed feelings. Basically, everyone in this group had experienced the Mingdu Rebellion in the Sun-Moon Empire.

Everyone thought it would be a great victory cheered by the whole world, but it turned out to be a carnival ceremony for the Sun and Moon Empire.

They were very pressed for time, and had hoped that Huo Yuhao would be able to show off his cooking skills, but the result greatly disappointed them.

Fan Xi did not disappoint them and got a big ship full of goods, such as the specialties of the three empires, silk, porcelain, etc.

The food on the ship was rich, although this was also thanks to Fan Xi. According to Fan Xi's description, this ship was their family's property.

Flying on the sea is a very dangerous thing. Encountering a storm on the sea is a small matter, but if you encounter groups of sea soul beasts, even a Titled Douluo will probably die in such a boundless sea.

The overall strength of sea soul beasts is actually much stronger than that of soul beasts on land. Of course, the prerequisite is to eliminate the Silver Dragon King. Humans on Douluo Continent have rarely explored the sea, so the group of sea soul beasts is quite powerful, and their number is far greater than that of land soul beasts.

Whether it is the Star Luo Empire or the Sun-Moon Empire, the naval power of both countries is extremely limited. On the one hand, if the human fleet is equipped with weapons at sea, it is easy to conflict with sea soul beasts. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, the naval development of Douluo Continent has almost stagnated.

To put it bluntly, it is because the ships are not strong enough and the guns are not powerful enough. After the spiritual metal comes out, you build him a few aircraft carrier fleets, amphibious combat vehicles, soul-guided submarines equipped with level-nine fixed-installed soul-guided artillery shells, and spiritual metal soul-guided fighter jets. Let's see if the sea soul beasts dare to act rashly. If they dare, send them a few more level-nine fixed-installed soul-guided artillery shells. If level nine is not enough, then get level ten!
Nothing else, just as big as a fist!

Range is truth, caliber is justice!
See if there is any sea soul beast that can withstand a few level nine fixed-type soul guide shells. In the power system of Douluo Dalu, the level thirteen fixed-type soul guide shells are comparable to demigods.

In other words, level ten is comparable to Peak Douluo, level eleven is comparable to Ultimate Douluo, and level twelve is comparable to Demigod.

Of course, this is also the benchmark after the combat power of Douluo III has increased dramatically. If it is divided according to the combat power of Douluo II, it is estimated that level 9.5 can be comparable to the peak Douluo.
