Douluo: The True Eye

Chapter 123: Arriving at the Northernmost Land

Huo Yuhao quickly organized the six soul tool design blueprints, which were most suitable for mass production given the current national strength of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

While these six soul tools might not be the strongest among those of the same level, they were indeed the most suitable for large-scale deployment to soldiers.

Although the current Heavenly Soul Empire had extracted a considerable amount of soul tool manufacturing techniques and information from the captured Mingde Hall soul masters,

only the most basic first to third-level soul tools could be widely promoted throughout the country.

Because cultivating soul tool masters from scratch was too slow, Huo Yuhao replaced most of the soul guiding core array structures of these soul tools with mechanical expansion structures.

At the same time, the necessary soul guiding core arrays were handled by specially trained soul masters.

The soul tool master system as a whole was too complicated, and Huo Yuhao only needed these soul masters with soul power to be able to carve fixed soul guiding cores.

Therefore, these soul masters could not be called proper soul tool masters, but with more training, even though the second and third-level soul tool core arrays were quite complex, corresponding manufacturers should be able to be trained within a year.

On this basis, Huo Yuhao only needed to ensure that the soul guiding core arrays he designed were simple and effective.

As for encryption and other techniques, they were irrelevant to low-level soul tools.

In this way, even blacksmiths could produce the mechanical expansion components of these soul tools, while also allowing the blacksmiths responsible for production to focus on making fixed single components.

Then, these single components and soul guiding core arrays could be assembled by specialized soul tool masters.

This would greatly reduce the time required to train soul tool masters and manufacture soul tools, while also minimizing the consumption of resources such as metals.

As for arming the soldiers, second and third-level soul tools were enough to allow the Heavenly Soul Empire's mortal legions to complete a leap in level.

Unlike the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool master legions, which were built on a strategy of elite troops, Huo Yuhao envisioned a plan to win by numbers.

The Sun Moon Empire's soul tool master regiments were usually equipped with one hundred fourth-level soul guiding cannons, and ten fifth-level soul guiding cannons, but their effective attack range was approximately within five hundred meters, and the maximum attack distance would not exceed eight hundred meters.

However, this information was all extracted from those Mingde Hall soul tool masters, and the specific details were now Mingde Hall's secrets.

Even these seventh-level soul tool masters who came from Mingde Hall had not been exposed to many specific details, because some top-secret technological advances had not yet been made public when they were taken away.

However, Huo Yuhao could also deduce some of the Sun Moon Empire's current developments in this area from the humanoid soul tool brought back by the Body Sect, and the latest progress of Mingde Hall in sealing technology, which was definitely different from the past.

However, even so, the Sun Moon Empire's main application in this area must be concentrated on the latest high-end soul tools.

Because war preparation was not something that could be done overnight, the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool manufacturing method required each soul tool's parts and soul guiding core array to be carefully carved by a soul tool master.

Instead of being produced in an assembly line factory, the soul tool equipment prepared by the Sun Moon Empire for each soul tool master regiment before the technological breakthrough could not be rebuilt, otherwise the cost and commotion would be too great.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao could basically judge that the soul tools used by the Sun Moon Empire's low and mid-level soul tool master regiments were still around the fourth-level, mixed with fifth-level soul tools.

Although the overall level of this set of soul tool equipment designed by Huo Yuhao was between the second and third levels, the materials used were also cheaper than the Sun Moon Empire's configuration for soul tool master regiments.

Under the same number, one hundred Heavenly Soul Empire soldiers equipped with these soul tool equipment would naturally not be able to match a standard soul tool master regiment of the Sun Moon Empire.

But if one hundred people were not enough, then one thousand people would be used.

By winning through numbers, even if the cultivation level was a large gap in the battles of low-level soul masters and soul tool masters, it would not lead to an absolute crushing advantage.

Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire's combat style was mainly based on soul tool master regiments, while ordinary soldiers were used as logistics and auxiliary troops, and would not directly appear on the front battlefield, mostly responsible for sweeping and cleaning up the battlefield after the war.

Therefore, the Sun Moon Empire's focus was always on the soul tool master regiments, but even during the most prosperous period of the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool master regiments in the original work, their total number would not exceed 20,000 soul tool masters.

Although the Sun Moon Empire might equip a certain number of soul tools and soul power sealing devices to the bottom-level soldiers due to the development of packaging technology nowadays,

in terms of the overall quality of the bottom-level soldiers, the quality of the soldiers of the original Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent, especially the Heavenly Soul Empire, must be better than that of the Sun Moon Empire.

After equipping low-level soul tools on a large scale, Huo Yuhao could still change the original strength gap between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Sun Moon Empire from 1:0 to 2:1.

Even if it was still at a disadvantage, there would never be a situation like the collapse of the army in the original work, which would make the Heavenly Soul Empire the first empire to be destroyed.

If the Heavenly Soul Empire, a great power bordering the Sun Moon Empire, was a hard bone to gnaw, then the pressure would naturally fall on the other empire adjacent to the Sun Moon Empire, the Star Luo Empire.

After organizing the design drawings, Huo Yuhao handed them over to Du Busi.

Looking at the six stacks of paper as tall as a person released by Huo Yuhao from the storage soul tool, the corner of Du Busi's eyes twitched involuntarily.

"As a teacher, I remember that even seventh-level soul tool design drawings are not so complicated, and the current Heavenly Soul Empire does not have the ability to produce seventh-level soul tools."

Du Busi's impression of soul tools still remained at the period when he robbed them from Mingde Hall before.

At that time, he also obtained many seventh and eighth-level soul tool design drawings, but the thickest was just a small booklet.

How could it be as exaggerated as what Huo Yuhao took out?

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao took a page from the top and showed it to Du Busi.

"Only one year is needed, and the specialized training required for manufacturing various components should be enough. My plan is to set up three hundred production lines for each type of Soul Guiding Device."

"The most troublesome part should be mobilizing over three thousand Soul Masters with strength above level 20. As for blacksmiths, we will need about twenty thousand."

Hearing this, Du Bus death nodded. It is indeed not easy to find more than three thousand Soul Masters with strength above level 20 who can act secretly for a long time.

However, with the capabilities of the Heaven Soul Empire, as long as they prepare for a while, it shouldn't be a problem. As for blacksmiths, gathering twenty thousand from the entire country is not a problem either.

"In this way, after one year, each type of Soul Guiding Device can produce nearly a thousand pieces per day, and the materials used are all cheap, ordinary metals."

"As long as one year, we should be able to complete the basic equipment for the Heaven Soul Empire's 300,000-strong army."

"Based on this, in order to prevent these Soul Guiding Devices from being captured by the enemy on the battlefield or suffering excessive losses, we also need three thousand sets of matching level-seven special Soul Guiding Devices."

"This is also the biggest difficulty. Even with the Soul Guides from the Mingde Hall helping to manufacture them, three thousand level-seven Soul Guiding Devices is not a small project, and the resources consumed are astronomical."

Hearing this, Du Busi also nodded with a solemn expression. Although these level-seven Soul Guiding Devices were not absolutely necessary in the plan that Huo Yuhao had just shown him.

However, their existence would undoubtedly allow the Heaven Soul Empire's legions to have the highest possible sustained combat capability during wartime, greatly reducing equipment losses during wartime.

"Specifically, Master, you should first arrange the personnel selection for these six types of Soul Guiding Device production lines. Let's put the level-seven Soul Guiding Device issue aside for now. It won't be too late to restart it if I have a better solution."

"Alright." After a while, Du Busi's frown also relaxed.

Although he had not finished reading all the design drawings that Huo Yuhao had presented to him, he had only briefly browsed the overview, but at this moment, he was almost certain in his mind.

At this time, Huo Yuhao coughed lightly and said, "Master, I plan to leave Tiandou City for a while and go to the Land of Extreme North."

"Okay, go ahead." Du Busi didn't seem to have any other opinions on this, he just said so lightly.

"?" This made Huo Yuhao a little puzzled. Looking at Du Busi in front of him, he asked a little embarrassedly, "Master, don't you have anything else to say?"

Hearing this, Du Busi rolled his eyes at Huo Yuhao: "Get out, get out, get out. After going to Sunset Forest last time, I could tell that you brat would discuss with me what you want to do?"

Du Busi slapped his hand casually, and a gust of wind sent Huo Yuhao out of the study, and then landed lightly in the courtyard.

However, Huo Yuhao could also feel that Du Busi's palm, in addition to flying him away, also left a hidden soul power on his body.

"I also heard from Jin Peng about the fox thing before. In short, just do whatever you want. With my natal poison protecting you, what about the Land of Extreme North? I can still kill them all!"

Du Busi's voice came from the study, and his words were full of strong self-confidence. Or rather, Du Busi was originally such a proud person, but he rarely showed it in front of Huo Yuhao.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao did not stay any longer, and cupped his hands in the direction of the study before leaving.

It was just that after Huo Yuhao left, Du Busi's dark green eyes watched Huo Yuhao's back leave, and he also put down the drawings in his hand, sighed slightly, and murmured.

"According to Yuhao's previous statement about luck, plus the little girl transformed from the Emperor Rui Beast, even if the Land of Extreme North is quite dangerous, it should be able to turn danger into safety."

After leaving Du Busi's study, Huo Yuhao returned to his courtyard. It was noon now. Seeing Huo Yuhao coming back, Di Ruier, who was originally sunbathing in the courtyard, also stood up.

"Can we go to the Land of Extreme North now?" At this time, Di Ruier's mouth was full of anticipation.

Because going to the Land of Extreme North was the first step she and Huo Yuhao came up with after communicating, as the Emperor Rui Beast, to save the Soul Beast race.

Huo Yuhao nodded. After spending these days together, he and Di Ruier had become much closer.

Taking out two level-seven flying Soul Guiding Devices that the Body Sect had brought out from the Mingde Hall from his storage Soul Guiding Device, Huo Yuhao handed one of them to Di Ruier.

Although the two of them now have Soul Power around level 60, both in terms of quality and quantity, they are far superior to Soul Masters of the same level. Naturally, using level-seven flying Soul Guiding Devices is not a problem.

Since then, the two of them, accompanied by each other, left Tiandou City and drove the flying Soul Guiding Device towards the bitterly cold Land of Extreme North.

'Tianmeng brother, Tianmeng brother, we're home.'

"Damn, Yuhao, why didn't you tell me when you came to the Land of Extreme North? I didn't prepare anything!"

After a while, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm came back to his senses, but Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately reacted, but before he could act, he was stopped by Huo Yuhao.

'Tianmeng brother, I don't need you to take action for the time being, but still keep a clear state. Let Xiaobai come first this time. If there are any accidents when we meet Bingdi and Xuedi later, it won't be too late for Tianmeng brother to take action.'

Under Huo Yuhao's Soul Power control, the little white fox appeared from Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness in the ice and snow of the Land of Extreme North.

Looking at the familiar scene around him, although the physical body shaped by Soul Power could not feel the temperature change, it was enough to make the little white fox cheer.

It was just that the little white fox didn't notice the special thing about Di Ruier beside Huo Yuhao. After all, with Di Tian's reverse scale as a disguise, even as the auspicious beast of the Land of Extreme North, the little white fox didn't have the ability to detect Di Ruier's true form.

"Okay, Xiaobai, let's go." In order to have the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao's resistance to extreme cold had been greatly improved in the previous Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Di Ruier, whose main body was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, would naturally not feel afraid of ordinary cold.

The two people and one fox gradually began to penetrate into the Land of Extreme North.
