Chapter 570.1. Change of Plans
The price of a Class 9 decomposition cannon was exorbitant. Even they were not equipped with these cannons.
On top of that, this enemy they were facing could not be detected by any of the surveillance soul tools they had brought with them.
When the Class 9 decomposition cannon was fired, the two Class 9 soul engineers had immediately activated the strongest surveillance abilities they possessed. After all, a Class 9 decomposition cannon could only be fired within three thousand meters. However, they were still unable to pinpoint where that person was. This meant that they could only react passively to that person’s attacks. How were they supposed to not develop a fear of Huo Yuhao?
Xu Tianyuan started to become panicky. He knew it would take them close to eight hours before they reached the territory of the Sun Moon Empire—which was also the former land of the Heavenly Soul Empire. At the same time, they had to do their best to avoid any encounters with troops from the Dou Ling Empire.
If this unknown enemy were to follow them throughout the entire eight hours, it would be a massive disaster for both soul engineer legions. In fact, the current situation of the two soul engineer legions simply would not allow them to maintain their defenses and fly at the same time for eight hours. They had to descend to rest and reorganize their forces.
What should we do?
Xu Tianran gritted his teeth as he communicated with Xia Xuanchen. “We need to let everyone rest. Right now, our teams’ morale isn’t doing very well. If he launches another decomposition cannon and successfully kills another person, we’ll be in trouble.”
Xi Xuanchen looked at him and asked, “Brother Xu, what do you think we should do then?”
Xu Tianran replied, “We need to descend right away. My Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Legion will take turns with your legion to maintain our defenses. At the same time, we need to make sure our groups huddle together. This will make the linked defensive barrier thicker, and will help to reduce the effectiveness of the decomposition cannon. Even though we might not be able to stick too close to one another in the air due to the possibility of collisions, we can do so on the ground. Let’s continue discussing this after we let our people recover their energy. We need to think of a way to handle this.”
