Chapter 574 The desperate situation, the pessimistic Mr. Xuan [4000 words]

"Although I really don't want to admit it, it's not true. The gap in hard power between the two of us is really too big."

Qian Chaoguang sighed deeply.

High-end force, low-end force, productivity, war heritage, technological heritage, people's quality of life, and even ideological and educational systems.

Compared to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, the Sun and Moon Empire was crushed in everything.

And it's a complete multi-dimensional explosion.

Unless the Undead Empire is really pulled out, or a god-level warrior comes to perform a mechanical deity, and single-handedly beats the entire Sun-Moon Empire to extinction.

Otherwise, this is an unsolvable situation.

Oh, or if there is some kind of system at this time, it would be okay to issue some props that can make the Sun and Moon Empire disappear collectively.

But that's a bit of a daydream.

"Even if there is no such thing as the beast tide, what if many Shrek elders rush to help Tiandou City? There is no problem in satisfying the wishes of Emperor Tianhun. But the problem is that we can defend it for a while, but not for a lifetime."

"Once we are dragged into the quagmire of war, we will no longer have the initiative and can only be tired of defending. The border that needs to be protected is too long, and even a super Douluo will be exhausted."

"What's more, if Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui send troops in two directions and fly directly to the capitals of Dou Ling and Xing Luo empires to carry out the beheading plan, then what can we do to stop them? Who can stop them?"

"Extreme Douluo, Ultimate Douluo, no wonder the Sun and Moon Empire has to wait until the Dragon God is gone before taking action. This is an unsolvable situation." Du Bushu's voice sounded very disappointed, "That's all."

The next day, the long trumpet sounded again.

Countless soldiers were ready to go and stood on the city wall.

After an afternoon and a whole night of emergency repairs, the huge wound opened yesterday has been temporarily blocked by various means.

The cracks in the wall itself have also been repaired to a certain extent.

Although it does not have as strong a defense as before, it is at least barely complete, much better than the shaky situation after the war.

Originally, the soldiers on Tianhun's side were already prepared to live and die with Tiandou City, and even many people were already nervous and prepared to fight to the death with the Sun and Moon Army.

But who knows, the intensity of today's war is far from that of yesterday.

Even worse than the first day.

Not only are there two less beastmaster-level soul mentor groups, but there are only four ordinary soul mentor groups left.

The Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Group all disappeared.

Only the Terrorclaw Soul Instructor Group and the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group are still soaring in the sky.

As for how many ordinary soldiers came, it was impossible to count them with the naked eye.

Whether it's two hundred thousand or one hundred thousand, it all looks like a dense mass of darkness. You can't see the end at a glance, and you don't know how many are coming.

Emperor Tianhun and Du Buushi stood side by side at the top of the city, looking at the invading enemy with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Things turned out exactly as Qian Chaoguang said.

From this point of view, the Sun and Moon Empire probably really let Tiandou City go.

Tiandou City was saved, but how could the Tianhun Empire be able to defend it?

no one knows.

A few days later, Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong returned to Shrek City.

Returning with them were the members of the Noumenon Sect who had lost their ancestral land.

To be precise, part of it.

Probably about one-third.

These are basically the surviving elites and wounded among the younger generation of Noumenon Sect.

Even if they were unwilling and wanted to stay on the battlefield, they were led by Golden Body Douluo Jinpeng and forced to Shrek City by being poisoned to death.

This includes Long Aotian and Princess Wei Na, as well as a dozen young members of the Tianhun royal family.

The current dean of Shrek Academy, Cai Meier, came forward and personally brought them into Shrek City.

Everyone knows it.

This is the fire, the fire of the Noumenon Sect and the Heavenly Soul Royal Family.

Emperor Tianhun and Du Bushui both had the intention of entrusting him.

Even if they won the battle to defend Tiandou City and successfully curbed the Sun Moon Empire's advancement plan, it was still of no avail.

The Heavenly Soul Empire has reached sunset, and everyone can see this.

The aura of life on Poseidon Lake is still so strong, but the golden ancient trees on Poseidon Island have become increasingly dim.

Not only is the light aura no longer strong, even some of the branches are showing signs of withering.

Coming to the empty Poseidon Pavilion, all this became even more obvious.

Some of the carvings inside have turned gray-black.

Although it is still solid and reliable, it is a bit scary to see.

Huo Yutong raised her hand and touched the black mark, and a strong sense of twilight immediately returned to her spiritual sea.

By running the Eye of Destiny, she could even clearly see a thread of destiny.

The thick thread of fate connecting the golden ancient tree has been broken more than half, and seems to be about to collapse at any time.

She is dying.

"I don't know why this ancient golden tree has been showing signs of withering recently. I have tried many methods but it can't be cured."

At this time, Mr. Xuan suddenly appeared in the Poseidon Pavilion, with a look of exhaustion on his face.

"But it doesn't matter anymore. Compared with the safety of Douluo Continent and the academy, the golden ancient tree is just a plant no matter how it is. If it falls, it will fall."

Unlike in the original work, Munn told Mr. Xuan everything in detail before his death.

This time, because Munn learned the truth about the golden ancient tree, and he was already determined to die, he did not tell Mr. Xuan the so-called inheritance information.

Besides, Qian Chaoguang himself knew it well, so there was no need to resort to another hand and let Mr. Xuan be a sounding board.

Therefore, regarding the true situation of the golden ancient tree and the choices of past Poseidon Pavilion masters, the only insiders in Shrek Academy are Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong.

"Mr. Xuan."

The brother and sister saluted in unison.

Mr. Xuan waved his hand: "Sit down, there are no outsiders here now, let me relax a little. The situation in the mainland has suddenly become so unbearable. The Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Fighting Soul Beast have their own agendas, which is really killing people. Tell me about it , how was the battle in Tiandou City?"

Qian Chaoguang organized his words, and with Huo Yutong's supplements, he completely told the details of the battle in Tiandou City.

After listening to what the two said, Mr. Xuan's face became even more ugly.

"Do you know the current situation of the Tianhun Empire in the past few days since you returned from Tiandou City?"

Qian Chaoguang shook his head: "Time is tight, so I didn't go get this information. But you can guess it, I'm afraid the Sun and Moon Empire is unstoppable."

Mr. Xuan sighed deeply: "You are right. Just as you predicted a year and a half ago, the Sun and Moon Empire switched from marching eastward to marching north, directly bypassing Tiandou City."

"In the past few days since your return, the Sun and Moon Empire has not only increased its troops for the second time, but also seems to have added new equipment. The Sky Soul Empire has collapsed thousands of miles away and has lost more than one-third of its territory."

"Compared to the previous steady progress, the Sun and Moon Empire is now like a beaten monkey, in urgent need of some targets to vent its anger."

"For this reason, they no longer even waited for the troops and officials to take over the city, and kept pushing crazily toward the northeast, almost penetrating the entire northern part of the Tianhun Empire."

"Today, the tug-of-war in Tiandou City is still continuing, and the Douling Empire once again sent a group of reinforcements to support the Tianhun Empire. But if this situation continues, it will be difficult for them to hold on."

The brother and sister were not surprised.

As early as the first day of the Tiandou City defense battle, Qian Chaoguang had already judged the situation in advance and made arrangements for it to a certain extent.

He even knew the opponent's eager goal - to advance to Dragon City in the northeast and mine on the edge of the Far North.

There was too much time wasted previously, and they were rushing forward.

For this reason, the main battle force led by Orange did not even bother to capture the local soul master sects to form a new army, and could only leave it to the follow-up troops to complete the finishing work.

As for Dou Ling Empire sending a large army into Tianhun, that is also a normal situation.

The Emperor of the Dou Ling Empire just lacks a long-term vision, and he is not really stupid.

Of course he could see that the Sun and Moon Empire had to unite to resist such a fierce offensive.

In this way, it is obviously the best choice to keep powerful enemies outside the country and place the main battlefield in the Tianhun Empire.

It won't harm your own people and land, and it can defend the enemy thousands of miles away. Why not?

If Tianhun is destroyed, they will be like the Star Luo Empire, ready to withstand artillery bombardment from the Sun and Moon Empire at any time.

As for leading Shrek to attack like he did thousands of years ago?

Before learning about the beast tide, Mr. Xuan had indeed considered it.

After all, it was because of the intervention of Shrek Academy that the so-called holy war was finally won, and the name Sun Moon Continent was even lost.

But for now, forget it.

Many of Shrek's elders are already busy, and with the cooperation of the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce, they are frantically arming the Shrek City Defense Force.

Countless soul guides were moved to the city walls of Shrek City, and boxes after boxes of custom-made soul guide shells were stuffed into the combat readiness warehouse. They were afraid that the soul beast would come with a slap on the forehead, but they didn't do it well. Be on guard.

This was also the reason why the entire Poseidon Pavilion and even the entire inner courtyard seemed a little deserted - almost everyone went to help.

Shrek was already a bit preoccupied with himself, putting all his energy into resisting the beast tide, let alone aiding others.

"By the way, aren't you going to come to Shrek City? The Sun Moon Empire's offensive is gradually slowing down. I guess there is no need for him there now, right?" asked Mr. Xuan.

Huo Yutong shook his head slightly: "The teacher is from the Tianhun Empire. Even if he knows he is defeated, he will fight until the last moment."

"Oh, this old stubborn man."

Mr. Xuan sighed deeply.

"I hope that when the beast tide comes, he can free up his resources to help Shrek City. The elites of the Noumenon Sect and Shrek are concentrated here. Once the city is destroyed, our reserve talents are likely to be disconnected in the future."

Qian Chaoguang took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision: "Don't worry, there will be a way to reach the mountain, and there will be a way."

Mr. Xuan glanced at him and smiled gently: "Frankly speaking, I am not a good leader, nor am I a qualified decision-maker."

"When Mr. Mu was here, I lived a free and bohemian life every day. As long as I ate, drank and practiced, I was always happy."

"Ever since Mr. Mu passed away, this burden has fallen on my shoulders. It was only then that I truly understood what kind of responsibilities and how much pressure Mr. Mu had carried over the years."

"I always do things very roughly, and I don't think carefully enough, and I don't think comprehensively enough. Many times I don't have the courage of Mr. Mu, and I just keep cutting things off."

"How wonderful it would be if the war between the Sun and Moon Empire was launched decades later! You and Xiaotong must have grown up by then, and I can confidently dump this burden on you."

"You two, brother and sister, working together will do much better than this bad old man like me."

Speaking of this, the old smile on Mr. Xuan's face was full of strong self-deprecation and bitterness.

"If nothing can be done in the end, then you two brothers and sisters must survive. When your cultivation reaches the pinnacle of the world, if you still have some strength left, then consider whether to rebuild the academy."

What Elder Xuan said was extremely pessimistic, and could almost be regarded as explaining the aftermath - he was already thinking about what to do after Shrek's demise.

Even if Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er did not tell Mr. Xuan all the details of the Sun Moon Empire's soul guides, he could still see that the Douluo Three Kingdoms were in decline.

The gap is really too big.

It was so big that it made him despair.

In just one month, the Tianhun Empire was beaten back and forth by the Sun and Moon Army.

It was true that Tiandou City was defended, but this seemed more like a "gift" from the Sun and Moon Empire.

In just one night, the Mingdou Mountains, which the Star Luo Empire had consolidated for thousands of years, changed hands.

The White Tiger Duke Dai Hao did organize a counterattack, but it was like a lion that was too lazy to drive away disturbing mosquitoes while sleeping.

Does all this really make sense?

The comparison of strength between the two sides is completely crushing.

Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and tenth-level soul master Kong Deming.

Just the three extreme combat powers of the Sun and Moon Empire have already made Shrek filled with worries.

Now we still have to worry about the five ferocious beasts launching a beast wave in the Star Dou Forest.

Even excluding the Emerald Swan Brigitte who is not good at attacking, these are still two extremely powerful warriors.

Among them, the beast god Ditian is recognized as the most powerful person in the world.

What can Shrek do to stop him?

Even with the addition of the Noumenon Sect, Mr. Xuan has no confidence that he can defend Shrek City.

Therefore, on the night Qian Chaoguang revealed the beast tide, Mr. Xuan was already ready to sacrifice for Shrek.

Even if he dies, he must protect the future of the college and leave behind the spark that can start a prairie fire.

Qian Chaoguang's eyes kept flickering, and one thought after another flashed through his mind.

Mr. Xuan patted him on the shoulder: "I just said too much. I am still alive now, and I still have to bear the pressure. I have been running around for so long, so go back and rest first. There is probably a backlog in your chamber of commerce. There are tons of problems waiting for you to deal with.”

(I feel like my recovery is okay. There should be no problem with the four thousand a day update in the past two days. I will try to repay Argentina’s $10,000 a week for winning the championship starting next week)
