Seeing Zhao Xin and Mu Xuhui looking around, Captain Chen Yao continued, "There are not many soul masters in Sunset City, and they are not strong. They fought desperately against the attacks of soul beasts, and the Lord of Sunset City died. Most of the soul masters who fought desperately died in the battle, and only a few survived.
After a round of crazy slaughter, those damned soul beasts seemed to have come to their senses and returned to the Sunset Forest. Not only was Sunset City attacked, but the Shadow City of the Douling Empire, not far from here, was also attacked by soul beasts, but the losses were relatively small. "
"After receiving the news, our Southeast Army Corps, which is the closest to here, and some officers of the Southeast Army of the Douling Empire all came to the garrison in Sunset City. So later on, you Shrek students will send about 50 people to Yuhui City to cooperate with the army of the Douling Empire to resist the beast tide. The beast tide over there is not particularly serious, and the most serious one is still in Sunset City."
Captain Chen Yao spoke for a long time, his tone was sad. The Shrek students felt heavy in their hearts when they saw the desolate scene before them and heard the sad words.
Zhao Xin lowered his head and remained silent. He was thinking about what was going on with these soul beasts. Humans had not hunted soul beasts in the Sunset Forest for so long, so why would the soul beasts there attack humans for no reason? This matter was strange.
In addition to this, Zhao Xin had some other thoughts. He always felt that this matter was related to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, but didn't Huo Yuhao in the future come here and nothing happened? Could it be the butterfly effect? Then how can I get my own Fiery Glue, and how can I get in? For a moment, Zhao Xin became at a loss.
Soon they arrived at the Southeast Army’s garrison, which was very close to the East Gate facing the Sunset Forest.
The two soldiers behind Captain Chen Yao took the rest of the Shrek people to rest, while Mu Xuhui and Zhao Xin were brought by Chen Yao to the largest tent in the entire garrison.
The soldier guarding the tent saluted towards Chen Yao and said, "Go in and inform them that Shrek Academy has arrived."
"Yes, Captain." The soldier turned and went into the tent. He came out after a moment and let the three people in.
There was a long table in the middle of the tent, but no one was sitting on either side. There was only an old man standing in front of the table in the huge tent.
The old man had a sad face, but he rarely smiled when he saw the three people coming in.
"I received news two days ago that Shrek Academy was coming. I finally waited for you guys! Come and sit down."
The old man asked Mu Xuhui and Zhao Xin to sit down, and Chen Yao bowed and left the tent.
"Haha, don't be nervous. Although I'm a general, I don't like those red tapes. Just be casual here. Don't be so restrained."
The old man was indeed quite casual, not even wearing a military uniform in the barracks.
"Hello, I am Admiral Yao Hengzhang of the Tianhun Empire."
Mu Xuhui slightly widened his eyes and said respectfully: "General Yao, I really didn't expect you to come."
Yao Hengzhang laughed, "Why can't I come? My old bones can still move."
Yao Hengzhang has been famous for a long time. He is a contemporary of Shrek Academy Dean Yan Shaozhe. He also studied at Shrek Academy when he was young. After graduating from the outer school, he returned to serve the empire. His martial spirit is the Swift Wind Bird, a top-level spirit beast with wind attributes. Now Yao Hengzhang is already a 92nd-level Swift Wind Douluo.
"From now on, you young people will still rule the world. Three years ago, you participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. I was busy with things in the Southeast Army at the time, and when I returned, it was already the finals. Later, I chatted with His Majesty, and His Majesty praised you for your excellent performance. Your name is Zhao Xin, right? You are a smart kid."
"Thank you for your compliments, General. Those are just my little tricks. Your wisdom is more useful on the battlefield." Of course, what he said was from the bottom of his heart. Zhao Xin asked Wang Yan about his understanding of this general before coming. Zhao Xin admired his achievements very much. Moreover, Wang Yan specifically told him before coming that he should speak to people in a human way and to ghosts in a ghost way, and not to leave Mu Xuhui alone there, while he was a taciturn person.
Yao Hengzhang was a smart guy. He just smiled and shook his head, "You kid."
The three were chatting when the curtain of the tent was lifted. "Old Yao, why are you laughing so happily?"
A tall old man walked in, with short dark blond hair neatly combed back, and his beard shaved cleanly. His eyes were like an eagle, shooting out sharp gazes. He was wearing a straight iron-gray military uniform, and the military boots on his feet were also polished to a shine, full of style. Looking at the military badge on his shoulder, he was a general, just like Yao Hengzhang.
"Hey, Matt, why are you dressed up so beautifully? Are you looking for a soul beast for a blind date?" Yao Hengzhang said bluntly.
"I know, you old man must be jealous. You are not as good-looking as me, and you don't know how to take care of yourself. Just look at your beard."
The two old naughty boys were bickering here, and the two adjutants who followed the old man in, as well as Mu Xuhui and Zhao Xin, were all trying to hold back their laughter.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is General Matt from the Douling Empire, and he is also the patriarch of the Calis family."
The Calis family? Zhao Xin remembered that he had once fought against Yule from the Calis family. He remembered that the martial spirit of this family was the Thorn Rose.
"It's an honor to meet Rose Douluo." Mu Xuhui pulled Zhao Xin to salute.
Matt is a weird guy. When he was promoted to Titled Douluo, he refused the title of Thorn and instead asked for the title of Rose. Helplessly, everyone had to respectfully call him Rose Douluo.
"Haha, I'm also very happy to meet two Shrek friends!"
The crowd stopped chatting and the meeting started soon. Although Mu Xuhui and Zhao Xin came on behalf of Shrek, they sat at the back and listened carefully to the speeches of these military leaders.
Yao Hengzhang stopped smiling and said seriously, "There are signs before the beast tide breaks out. We noticed that soul beasts are gathering in Sunset Forest. Based on previous experience, there should be a large-scale soul beast attack this afternoon or tomorrow."
An officer from the Sky Soul Empire also stood up and said, "The first batch of beasts are all hundred-year soul beasts. We will launch soul guide shells to attack them. The second batch of thousand-year soul beasts will require soul masters to fight. In the past, our soul masters suffered heavy casualties when fighting against thousand-year soul beasts. However, with the support of Shrek this time, the situation will be much better. The third batch of ten-thousand-year soul beasts are extremely rare, so we need strong men to take action. As for the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, we have never seen one yet."
The adjutant sitting below Matt said, "Don't worry about the 100,000-year soul beast. I don't think there are any 100,000-year soul beasts in the Sunset Forest."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Do you have enough soul guides?" Matt looked at Yao Hengzhang.
Yao Hengzhang shook his head: "Not enough, who cares? When the time comes, our soul masters will go up and do it. We don't need soul guides."
"You are right, but you have suffered heavy casualties. It would be much more convenient if you had a defensive soul guide. There are only a few soul beasts attacking our Yuhui City. We will definitely be able to solve the problem today if we take the fifty people from Shrek back."
Mu Xuhui smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Matt, Shrek's fighting power will not disappoint you."
Yao Hengzhang said: "In order to facilitate deployment, you Shrek will form a separate team this time. I will not interfere with the deployment and grouping of personnel. After all, you know yourselves well, so I don't need to worry about it."
"Thank you, General Yao."
Seeing that the strategic deployment of several big men had been completed, Zhao Xin couldn't help but ask: "General Yao, have you investigated the cause of the beast tide?"
As soon as Zhao Xin finished speaking, several officers sighed in unison.
Yao Hengzhang whispered, "It's not that we haven't investigated, it's that we can't find out anything. But there are indeed some strange things. Those soul beasts are very manic and they keep attacking without fear of death. Moreover, the eyes of all soul beasts are blood red. Not only are they not afraid of pain, but they are also extremely powerful in combat."
