Chapter 307: Cannot Hold On Any Longer: The Titled Douluo Have Joined the Battle

The Spirit Guidance Devices that Zhu Zhuqing brought out were quickly used to equip two special armies.

In order to have them familiarize themselves with these Spirit Guidance Devices as quickly as possible, Zhu Zhuqing first dispatched them to the rear for training.

Tang San was terrified that the Two Great Empires might still possess Large Explosive Soul Guidance Devices, so for his subsequent operational plans, he dared not gather large-scale forces together anymore, instead splitting them all into small combat units.

Small-scale combat encountering the large-scale operations of the Two Great Empires was simply a one-sided crushing defeat.

After persisting for a week, the spies Tang San had sent to the Two Great Empires brought back a huge piece of good news.

The soldiers who had previously used the Large Explosive Soul Guidance Devices were researchers from the Spirit Hall's Research Department, and they had now been personally retrieved by the head of the Research Department.

Therefore, it could be inferred that Large Explosive Soul Guidance Devices would no longer appear within the Two Great Empires.

It seemed the spies lurking within the Two Great Empires were not high-ranking personnel; otherwise, they would have known that Zhu Zhuqing had brought out many Spirit Guidance Devices.

Since they hadn't even sniffed out this news, they certainly couldn't have discovered that there were even more powerful Spirit Guidance Devices in Zhu Zhuqing's ring.

After receiving the news, Tang San was very pleased and issued an order on the spot to consolidate his armies and no longer execute the small-scale combat plan.

Thinking of Spirit Guidance Devices, Tang San shook his head in disappointment.

Tang San began ordering people to forge Mechanical Weapons; previous battles had made him realize the importance of weaponry.

These Mechanical Weapons had appeared on the battlefield before, and if not for Jerry, their power would have been quite impressive.

Once the Mechanical Weapons were deployed onto the battlefield, the casualties of the Two Great Empires' armies increased significantly, and the situation began to slowly reverse.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke learned that the Bala Kingdom was using new types of weapons; Zhu Zhuqing had seen this kind of weapon before, and at that time, the Star Luo Empire had been caught off guard by them.

With this kind of weapon appearing again, Zhu Zhuqing was now one hundred percent certain that Tang San was in the Bala Kingdom.

Only Tang San knew how to assemble this kind of weapon; he had not passed on the entire manufacturing process for these weapons to the people of the Clear Sky Sect.

After Tang San left back then, these weapons became consumables and later gradually disappeared.

Tang San, let's see where you can run to this time.

He had originally prepared to let the squads equipped with Spirit Guidance Devices continue to familiarize themselves with them, but now time waited for no one, and since the enemy had already started using new weapons, there was no need for them to hide anymore.

He issued an order on the spot to transfer the Spirit Guidance Device squads still in training to the front-line battlefield.

Because the Mechanical Weapons were being used with great effect, this also led Tang San to decide to launch a large-scale campaign.

The first formal clash between Spirit Guidance Devices and Mechanical Weapons began.

On a desolate battlefield, the Bala Kingdom's army surged forth like a flood, the Mechanical Weapons in their hands emitting ear-piercing noise.

Their faces were obscured by helmets, revealing only eyes filled with determination.

The soldiers advanced with uniform steps, like a torrent of steel, their momentum astonishing.

The armies of the Two Great Empires were also standing by in battle array, holding various Spirit Guidance Devices.

These magical Spirit Guidance Devices shimmered with light in their hands, as if telling of their power.

Exquisite patterns spread across the metal surfaces, like scattered stars, containing infinite energy.

The soldiers operated these Spirit Guidance Devices with steady gazes, fearless in the face of the impending battle.

The collision between the two sides was like a landslide or a tsunami, impossible to stop.

The cruelty of war was revealed at this moment; blood and fire, life and death intertwined, the clamor and silence of war woven together.

Artillery fire roared, blasting the ground and kicking up dust; the sky-filling flying stones and debris seemed to become the monologue of the war, and on the tragic battlefield, every inch of land became a target for both sides to fight over.

However, in this intense battle, the armies of the Two Great Empires stood firm throughout.

Their unity and resilience, like solid rock, withstood the fierce onslaught of the Bala Kingdom.

Their Spirit Guidance Devices danced in their hands, beams of light cutting through the sky like meteors, illuminating the battlefield.

From the very beginning, the soldiers of the Bala Kingdom launched a fierce attack on the armies of the Two Great Empires using Mechanical Weapons.

The armies of the Two Great Empires were also fully armed, and most of the arrows shot by the Mechanical Weapons were blocked by the soldiers' armor.

Some soldiers were simply unlucky and were struck in places where their armor offered no protection.

But overall, the armies of the Two Great Empires successfully withstood the Bala Kingdom's offensive.

As time passed, the flaws of the Mechanical Weapons appeared: ammunition consumption was too high, and endurance was insufficient.

Spirit Guidance Devices were not like this; except for one-time-use explosive Spirit Guidance Devices, other Spirit Guidance Devices relied on energy excitation, and as long as there was energy, they could continue to be fired.

Moreover, after the energy of a Spirit Guidance Device was exhausted, it could automatically absorb soul power to replenish itself, requiring only ten minutes to fully recharge its energy.

And the Spirit Guidance Devices that Zhu Zhuqing equipped each soldier with were more than just one, perfectly bridging this energy replenishment period.

At this moment, the time for a counterattack had arrived.

The soldiers of the Two Great Empires' armies began to launch a fierce offensive, throwing various Soul Guidance Grenades into the enemy camp without regard for their own lives.

The mortar squads in the rear also began carpet-bombing.

In an instant, they tore a gap in the Bala Kingdom's army.

This gap was like an opened gate to the underworld; the soldiers of the Two Great Empires quickly interspersed through this gap, like black torrents, breaking through the enemy's defensive lines.

Their attack was like a violent beast from the Great Desolation, smashing the Bala Kingdom's army into disarray.

Consequently, the Bala Kingdom's army gradually began to lose, suffering heavy casualties, and their lines were broken through by the Two Great Empires' armies in many places, leaving them unable to coordinate their defenses.

The Bala Kingdom's army, which had originally been connected as one, was directly split into many small groups.

Facing the Two Great Empires, which already had the advantage in numbers, these small groups of enemies were annihilated one by one.

After annihilating the enemies, the soldiers of the Two Great Empires went to support other areas in a well-trained manner; their combat actions were as precise as machines, emotionlessly reaping one life after another.

The battlefield began to show a one-sided situation, and at this point, Tang San could only regretfully issue the order to retreat.

Once the order was given, the soldiers who had not yet been annihilated finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to flee backward desperately; the original army retreat plan had been for an orderly, phased withdrawal, but in the current situation, no one cared about that anymore, and they fled backward one by one as if they had gone mad, terrified that if they ran too slowly, they would be left on the battlefield forever.

In the end, the tide of war slowly receded, leaving behind only silence and scars.

The battlefield was filled with the silence of death, with only ruined corpses and broken weapons remaining, as if telling of the tragic battle that had just ended.

The Two Great Empires achieved victory, their figures appearing even more resilient amidst the smoke of gunpowder.

The soldiers cheered in unison, their voices echoing across the battlefield, filled with pride and joy.

And those who sacrificed themselves in battle will also be remembered forever; their heroism will become the eternal Legendary tales of the Two Great Empires.

Behind the joy and glory of victory lies the silent support of those heroic soldiers who sacrificed their lives.

Facing common goals and enemies, they were united as one, experiencing life-and-death battles together.

After the war, this spirit of unity and resilience will take deeper root in people's hearts, becoming the eternal wealth of the Two Great Empires.

The armies of the Two Great Empires did not pursue the enemy forces deep into their territory, for one should not pursue a desperate foe.

After the cheering ended, the soldiers of the Two Great Empires began to clean up the battlefield.

The corpses of the enemy soldiers were all transported to one place to be burned and buried, preventing the breeding of various viruses.

The soldiers of the Two Great Empires who sacrificed themselves were all transported back to their hometowns.

In order to commemorate these sacrificed soldiers, the Two Great Empires built a Hero Tomb in every city, allowing future generations to remember and cherish them forever.

The situation of this battle also spread throughout the entire continent.

All the common people also learned of the effectiveness of using Soul Guidance Devices on the battlefield, and some families began to change their thinking to adapt to this new method of attack.

Close-quarters combat involving real blades, real guns, and real soul skills slowly faded from the stage of history.

Although these Soul Guidance Devices suitable for war are currently all in the hands of the Spirit Hall and the Two Great Empires, it has also sparked a keen interest in Soul Guidance Devices among more people.

This year, the number of students applying for the Soul Guidance Master major at the Spirit Hall Academy is several times higher than in previous years.

Subsequently, Zhuqing and Xue Ke issued orders to advance with full force toward the capital of the Bala Kingdom; no longer focusing primarily on training troops as before, the speed of the offensive accelerated significantly.

Various places in the Bala Kingdom were at risk of falling at any time, and Tang San and the Elders were left overwhelmed by the news arriving every day.

If there were sufficient Mechanical Weapons, they could still hold off the offensive of the Two Great Empires' armies.

However, Tang San remained hesitant and unwilling to disseminate the final assembly methods.

Tang San's refusal to teach the assembly methods was also a form of closure for Tang San regarding the Tang Sect of his past life.

Every day cities were lost, and the Two Great Empires' speed of advancement was astonishing.

Tang San and the Elders tried their best to save the situation, but their efforts appeared so feeble, as if they could not stop this torrent.

Consequently, Tang San no longer wanted to consider counterattacking with armies and directly dispatched high-level Spirit Masters from the Clear Sky Sect to suppress the battlefield.

Title Douluo also began to participate in the war.

Because of the Title Douluo, the Two Great Empires were caught off guard and sacrificed many soldiers in vain, which made Zhuqing and Xue Ke very angry.

The Spirit Hall had previously issued an order prohibiting Title Douluo from participating in the war; now, the Clear Sky Sect actually dared to violate the order issued by the Spirit Hall.

Because of the participation of Title Douluo, after counting, more than seventy thousand soldiers had sacrificed their lives.

Upon receiving the specific casualty figures, Zhuqing was furious.

It was an unprecedented anger; even the incident involving Dai Mubai back then did not make her as angry as she was today.

She subsequently ordered the entire army to retreat and withdraw from the Bala Kingdom.

The current Bala Kingdom seemed as if everyone had been brainwashed by Tang San; there was simply no possibility of persuading them to surrender.

Many prisoners had been detained previously and subjected to much ideological education, but it had no effect at all.

To enhance the strength of the entire Bala Kingdom, Tang San had opened God Trials for everyone; rather than calling them soldiers of the Bala Kingdom, it would be better to call them believers of the Light God Sect.

To deal with these believers, simple ideological education would not suffice.

The Spirit Hall indeed had ways to solve this now, but the number of people was too large; the Spirit Hall was currently solving the problem of internal believers bit by bit and simply could not spare the manpower to deal with the believers in the Bala Kingdom.

Developing believers is easy, but dealing with these believers is very troublesome.

Moreover, these believers' hands were now stained with the blood of the Two Great Empires' soldiers; even if the influence of the Light God Sect were cleared, it would be impossible to simply release them, as that would not be easy to explain to the Empire's soldiers.

Zhuqing also knew this well, so she no longer forced the capture of prisoners.

After all the armies withdrew from the Bala Kingdom, Zhuqing took five Five Elements Bombs out of her ring.

All the soldiers could not help but take a few steps back upon seeing what Zhuqing had taken out.

The appearance of these five Five Elements Bombs was too similar to the previous Large Explosive Soul Guidance Devices.

The power of just one at that time had shocked all the soldiers, and it took them several weeks to slowly recover their state.

Now that Empress Zhuqing had directly taken out five, many of the soldiers below had witnessed the effects of the previous explosion with their own eyes, so these soldiers were the first to tremble and step back.

Zhuqing stepped onto the city wall, looked around at all the soldiers, and then said loudly: "The Spirit Hall has ordered a prohibition on all Title Douluo from participating in the war, and our Two Great Empires have always been complying with this order."

"However, the Bala Kingdom no longer complies with this order now and has dispatched Title Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect; in one day, they slaughtered over seventy thousand of our soldiers. This debt of blood must be repaid!"

When Zhuqing said this, she paused for a moment.

The soldiers below began to shout loudly: "Revenge! Revenge!..."

Zhuqing reached out and pressed down in the air, and the soldiers below instantly quieted down.

"This debt, of course, must be repaid, and it will be repaid immediately."

"A researcher from the Spirit Hall's Research Department once used a Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device on the battlefield; everyone should still remember that scene!"

"And the power of each of these five Five Elements Bombs I have taken out is greater than that of the previous Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device."

"The Two Great Empires' high-level Spirit Guidance Masters are far inferior to the Clear Sky Sect, and we don't have many Title Douluo, so I intend to use these five Five Elements Bombs to avenge the seventy thousand sacrificed soldiers. Does everyone agree?"

As Zhuqing finished speaking, the crowd below began to shout: "Agreed, agreed..."

Jerry had said before that this kind of Five Elements Bomb was too powerful and harmful to the natural order, but now there was no way to care about that, and all the soldiers had agreed to use them.

Zhuqing no longer had any psychological burden; she also wanted to see just how powerful this ultimate weapon mentioned by Jerry really was.

Originally, the Two Great Empires' armies were attacking fiercely; at this rate, they could have conquered the entire Bala Kingdom within a week.

Now they had all withdrawn, mainly because Zhuqing was preparing to use the Five Elements Bombs. Jerry had only said the power was very great, but he hadn't specified exactly how great; to prevent accidental injury, she had ordered a full withdrawal.
