"Elder Hongchen is right. Spending hundreds of millions of gold soul coins in exchange for such a huge victory is indeed worth it. Furthermore, the Dragon King Hall doesn't lack money right now."
After hearing Jing Hongchen's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile. The impact and significance of this battle couldn't be measured with money.
If the White Tiger Legion was completely wiped out, it would be a huge blow to the Seonra Empire. The two empires didn't have many soul masters to begin with. Dai Tianfeng had probably put in a lot of effort to build the White Tiger Legion. There were only eight thousand people in total. Now that five thousand of them had been wiped out, it would be a huge blow to him.
"Oh yes, Elder Hongchen, you're a Class 9 soul engineer. You'll be in charge of the Soul Tool Hall in the future. You can also choose some talented students from the Dragon King Hall and teach them how to create soul tools. Our Soul Tool Hall has to develop eventually. The two of us won't be enough."
Lu Yuan said.
"Master is right. Leave these things to me." Jing Hongchen patted his chest and promised Lu Yuan.
"Alright, I'll have to trouble you then, Elder Hongchen." Lu Yuan smiled and said.
"Next, we'll have to set up these stationary soul cannons. When the time comes, we'll beat them until they're badly battered." Lu Yuan said softly. He took out the stationary soul cannons and set them up in the positions that Negative Yinheng and the others had chosen.
Beside every stationary soul cannon, there were at least ten soul cannon shells.
Very soon, these stationary soul cannons were set up one by one.
The positions that Negative Yinheng and the others had chosen were very hidden. There were huge mountains, and they were about two to three kilometers away. The people on the plains wouldn't be able to discover these stationary soul cannons.
This was the benefit of stationary soul cannons. They could fire from very far away, even from several kilometers away. This was something that soul masters couldn't do.
When a soul master used an explosive skill, he or she might be able to match a stationary soul cannon of the same class in terms of offensive strength. However, this was only the central point of the skill. In terms of range and distance, a soul master couldn't compare to a stationary soul cannon. This was the strength of a soul tool.
Furthermore, there was another terrifying thing about soul tools. As long as there were enough shells, they could fire continuously. However, soul masters would be exhausted after a single outburst. This was the difference between humans and machines.
Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the stationary soul cannon that had been set up.
However, Lu Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction. Jing Hongchen stroked his chin and felt that there was still room for improvement. In his eyes, these stationary soul cannons were too low-class.
"Master, I think we can set up a few more Class 8 stationary soul cannons. I have dozens of cannons here, and Class 8 cannons are much more powerful. Furthermore, they can be used to target the enemy's leaders."
"As for Class 9 cannons, there's no need. They're too precious. I only have a few Class 9 stationary shells with me."
Jing Hongchen said.
"Since Elder Hongchen says so, let's set up a few cannons. Let's blast them to their heart's content today."
Lu Yuan laughed as he spoke.
"Yes, master." After obtaining Lu Yuan's permission, Jing Hongchen started to set up the cannons.
He chose the highest point on the mountain and set up three Class 8 stationary soul cannons.
"These are Class 8 stationary soul cannons? They're indeed extraordinary. I'll have to play with them later. "Lu Yuan laughed as he spoke.
"Master, since you're in the mood, that's great." Jing Hongchen laughed as he replied.
After hearing this, Lu Yuan laughed. He looked at the sky and his expression turned serious. "Disciples who know how to use soul tools, prepare a cannon fort in pairs. One person will fill the cannons with shells, while the other will aim and fire. Everyone, be alert. The Seonra Empire's army should be arriving soon."
"Yes, Hallmaster!" After hearing Lu Yuan's words, these disciples found their positions and carried out their duties. Those who had nothing to do also hid themselves so that they wouldn't be discovered if they were too exposed.
Time slowly passed. Finally, half an hour later, a black army appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The White Tiger Legion was at the front. They advanced in a phalanx of five thousand people. They were neat and tidy, and exuded an iron-blooded aura. This was an elite soul master legion.
Behind the White Tiger Legion was the Seonra Empire's three-hundred-thousand-strong army. It had to be said that the aura of these three-hundred-thousand-strong army gathered together was very shocking.
As the front was a plain, the three-hundred-thousand-strong army advanced together. They were spread out, so the formation wasn't very long. It wasn't as terrifying as the legends said.
However, the front and back of the formation were separated by several kilometers.
Although the formation was long, the plain was also very vast. It was large enough to contain the entire formation.
Lin Yuanzhen himself was behind the White Tiger Legion, and in front of the three-hundred-thousand-strong army. He was the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He had to lead both armies.
There were three elders beside him. All of them had white hair and beards, and their auras weren't weak. The three of them were Soul Douluo. They were the high-level soul masters that Dai Tianfeng had assigned to Lin Yuanzhen.
Their soul power wasn't low. They were all above Rank 85.
If three Soul Douluo like them cooperated well, they could resist a Titled Douluo who had just become a Titled Douluo. For example, Dugu Bo.
The plains were very quiet. Other than the occasional sound of the wind, there was not the slightest movement. This caused Lin Yuanzhen, who had an extremely sharp sense of war, to sense that something was wrong. He immediately ordered the army to stop.
"What's wrong, commander-in-chief?" After receiving Lin Yuanzhen's order to stop, the three elders were a little puzzled. They immediately asked Lin Yuanzhen.
"I feel that something is wrong. The plain is too quiet. Furthermore, the more we advance, the more fearful I feel. I suspect that there might be an ambush ahead."
Lin Yuanzhen's brows were tightly furrowed as he spoke with a serious expression.
It had to be said that Lin Yuanzhen's senses were very sensitive. He could sense danger and suspect that there was an ambush. However, it was too late. They had already stepped into the plain.
On a mountain two to three kilometers away from the plain, Lu Yuan had been paying attention to Lin Yuanzhen and the others.
Although there was a great distance between them, such a distance was nothing to his dual-pupils.
After seeing that Lin Yuanzhen and the others had completely entered the plain, Lu Yuan turned around slightly. He nodded at the disciples in charge of detonating the remote-controlled explosive soul tools.
After receiving Lu Yuan's order, they immediately pressed the buttons in their hands.
