Chapter 74 Attack on the South Gate
After receiving the new mission, Di Hong sneaked back to Tiandou City. As for the 30,000 guards, they would naturally be dealt with by Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye.
He only needs to cooperate with the two of them to capture the South Gate. Of course, he also has to find a way to protect the family members in the palace.
After sneaking back to Tiandou City, he found the Crown Princess and told her about Ning Fengzhi's plan.
After hearing this plan, the Crown Princess frowned slightly.
"We only have less than a thousand people. The South Gate is the farthest city gate from us. There are rebels everywhere outside. It is very difficult to attack the South Gate and capture it."
The strongest here is Di Hong, but his soul power level is only level 70, while there are several Soul Saints among the rebels. As the city gate is the focus of defense, it is impossible that there is no Soul Saint-level soul master stationed there.
Once they are delayed, Xue Yu will be able to mobilize more troops to reinforce the South Gate, and then send out powerful soul masters, even soul masters at the Soul Douluo level.
Di Hong shook his head: "There is no other way, we have to do this, Crown Princess, please rest assured, with me here, it will not be a problem to seize the South Gate."
"But it's easy to take it, but it's very difficult to keep it."
"We must hold on until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his men arrive."
The Crown Princess thought about it and picked up the sword beside her.
"Okay, in that case, let's attack the South Gate and take it down."
"You want to go too?" Di Hong was stunned. This Crown Princess Xue Ye was too wild. She actually rushed to go at such a risk of her life. Moreover, her soul power level was not high. She was only a Soul Master now.
"As the Crown Princess, I naturally have to set an example. If I don't go, who will?"
After all, she was born in the Barak Kingdom and grew up in a martial tributary kingdom. Naturally, she was deeply influenced by it and is martial in her bones. Even though she is a woman, she also had the dream of becoming a female general in the past.
What I admire most are those heroic generals.
But she was arranged to marry Xue Ye, so this dream could not be realized.
But today she has a chance, so she naturally can't give up.
Di Hong clasped his fists and saluted, his eyes full of admiration.
Although she is a woman, her courage is no less than that of any man.
After some mobilization, she rushed out with nearly a thousand soldiers and attacked towards the south gate.
Not long after they went out, they ran into the army sent by Xue Yu to annihilate them.
The other party was stunned for a moment, and then launched an attack. Just as they started to charge, a Suzaku magic circle appeared under their feet.
Then pillars of fire shot up into the sky, killing all the soldiers.
In order to save trouble, Di Hong used his sixth soul skill [Leaving Fire Array] right away.
After killing these soldiers, he spread his Vermillion Bird wings and flew in the front. Along the way, there were many rebel soldiers and soul masters blocking his way, but they were all dealt with by Di Hong. The soul power levels of the soul masters who blocked his way were not high, most of them were at the level of great soul masters and soul masters.
So it was very easy to deal with, but as more and more rebels and soul masters surrounded him, Di Hong gradually became more and more tired.
This time, the rebels came directly with two Soul Kings, several Soul Lords, and nearly a thousand soldiers. The Crown Princess led the soldiers to meet them without any hesitation, and Di Hong also fought with the two Soul Kings and Soul Lords.
At this moment, Di Hong was surrounded in the air.
Because his soul power level is higher than all the soul masters present, no one dared to act rashly.
His eyes swept over these people.
Although there was some pressure, Di Hong was not afraid.
The black fourth soul ring on his body lit up. "Fourth soul skill: Suzaku Roar!"
A huge phantom of the Vermillion Bird emerged, and a sharp roar was heard by all the soul masters and soldiers present. This was a group mental attack soul skill. Even their own soldiers were more or less affected and felt dizzy.
In contrast, the enemy soldiers' heads looked like they were about to explode.
The rebel soul masters wanted to mobilize their soul power to resist, but facing mental attacks, their defense did not play much of a role.
Perhaps because they had consumed a lot of soul power before, the two Soul Kings were less affected.
So after taking a break, he immediately revealed his soul ring and released his martial spirit to attack Di Hong.
The two's martial souls are the beast martial soul Black Water Crocodile and the weapon martial soul Ice Soul Fork, and neither of them is a fire-attribute martial soul, so Di Hong's restraint on fire-attribute martial souls is useless here.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Death Strangulation!"
"Third Soul Skill: Ice Strike!"
The soul master who possessed the Black Water Crocodile martial soul, after activating the fifth soul skill, was wrapped in soul power and spun at high speed, rushing towards Di Hong. At the same time, countless sharp icicles attacked him from all around.
"Protect your body with fire!"
Di Hong quickly activated his first soul skill for defense.
The joint attack of the two Soul Kings did not cause him too much pressure, mainly because the soul master of the Black Water Crocodile martial soul was a bit tricky. It was like a drill, constantly attacking the flame shield around him from a single point, and there was also a layer of water shield protecting the surface, which enabled it to continuously resist the invasion of the fire.
However, this protection did not last long. Di Hong's Li Fire could be said to be inexhaustible. In addition, his soul power level was higher than the other two. A Soul King alone could not resist it.
In a short while, the water shield around the Soul King of the Black Water Crocodile Martial Spirit was evaporated, and even the attacking icicles were evaporated after they got close.
However, under the opponent's point-to-point attack, his fire shield was broken at the last moment.
"Fire Feather!"
Di Hong immediately released his second soul skill, and countless feathers burning with flames appeared out of thin air and fell from the sky.
When the feathers fell on the soldiers, flames instantly ignited on the soldiers' bodies, and when they fell on the soul masters' bodies, the soul powers of the soul masters were quickly burned.
Di Hong immediately distanced himself and released his third soul skill again.
Most of his soul skills are based on group attacks. Currently, four of his six soul skills are group attacks, one is defense and one is recovery.
Faced with this situation, he can play a huge role.
The third soul skill was released, and countless fireballs fell from the vortex above.
The soul masters who were hit by the fireball had their bodies burned instantly. Coupled with the previous second soul skill, the double flames of soul power and physical body burned made them extremely painful. They wanted to use their soul power to resist the flames, but their own soul power was basically burned out.
It takes a lot of time to recover.
In this way, Di Hong successfully killed these soul masters.
Afterwards, Di Hong and the Crown Princess continued to lead the soldiers to attack the South Gate.
The news that the remaining resistance forces in the city were attacking the South Gate quickly spread. When Xue Yu found out, he immediately guessed their intention, so he immediately mobilized an army of 10,000 from other places to reinforce the South Gate. There were more than 2,000 soldiers guarding the South Gate, including a Soul Saint.
Considering that he sent 10,000 people and a Soul Saint, it would be extremely easy to kill the rebels of only a thousand people.
At this time, Tang Yuehua from the Li clan also learned the news.
