The Five Guardians of the Nation: Soul Guidance Corps.
Apart from the strongest Royals.
The others are also known as the Four Great Beast King Soul Guidance Legions. Each legion has a standard of 300 members and at least level 40 spirit power.
The Imperial Dragon Soul Guided Weapon Legion is undoubtedly the strongest of the four Beast King Soul Guided Legions in terms of overall combat power, characterized by its abundant resources and deep-rooted foundation. Within the Sun Moon Empire, as members of the Sun Moon Royal Family, they have access to a vast amount of resources, passed down through generations, resulting in a terrifying number whose exact extent is unknown even to the Sun Moon Emperor.
"Your Highness is interested in fixed-mount soul-guided projectiles?"
"Your Highness may not know, but as a member of the Royal Family, I was once a member of the Imperial Dragon Soul Guided Weapon Legion. My teacher was the previous legion commander, who was my uncle. As a result, I know a lot of secrets related to the Imperial Dragon Corps."
" The Imperial Dragon Corps not only possesses vast wealth, but also trades for many rare metals through its power. If a war were to break out without regard for anything else, even the Royal Soul Guidance Corps might not be their match, because the Ninth-Level Soul Engineers of the Imperial Dragon Corps throughout history have secretly manufactured Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannons. Even the current princes are unaware of this."
Recalling An Zhen's previous actions, Xu Guozhong didn't hesitate to betray the secrets of the Imperial Dragon Corps and even the Sun Moon Royal Family on the way. After all, in his view, His Highness would find out anyway once he "recaptured" the Imperial Dragon Corps, so it was better to use it to gain merit now.
An Zhen and Xu Guozhong arrived at a magnificent hotel, its scale seemingly no less impressive than the Star Emperor Hotel where they had stayed in Star Luo City, and booked a private room. Ye Yulin, under An Zhen's orders, accompanied Zhang Feng... Wang Ming continued to "get together," maintaining the facade that nothing had happened.
" The Imperial Dragon Corps is controlled by the Royal Family, but the Royal Family is divided into several factions with complex relationships. Even if you subdue the current commander Xu Tianyuan, who has a very high seniority and status in the Royal Family, you will not be able to completely control this soul guide army."
Xu Guozhong suggested that he bring Xu Tianyuan here.
He had some past acquaintance with Xu Tianyuan.
First, take down Xu Tianyuan.
Then return to the Imperial Dragon Corps's base and take down the representatives of each Royal Family branch.
An Zhen agreed.
You can also do more preparation.
Unbeknownst to Xu Guozhong, a darkness silently crept into his shadow.
Necessary insurance is still essential.
This attracted Xu Tianyuan.
An elderly man, though somewhat frail, walked into the private room. When he saw the unfamiliar young man inside, he was taken aback. However, the next moment, a gray spiritual light, imperceptible to others, shot into Xu Tianyuan's brow.
Electrolux has made its move.
Two six-pointed star formations that had been set up beforehand appeared.
Suppression.
Forcing the signing of a contract.
The process ended smoothly and effortlessly.
Having received the information from the contract, Xu Tianyuan raised his head, his tall and strong body standing straight on the ground. He looked angrily at the man beside him, subconsciously circulating his qi and spirit power, wanting to shout at Xu Guozhong. However, the next second, a sharp pain came from the depths of his soul, causing him to cover his head and kneel on the ground.
"Traitor...traitor!"
Suppressing the punishment of the contract, Xu Tianyuan let out a low growl at Xu Guozhong, showing that he was truly furious to the extreme.
They not only betrayed Empire, but also the Sun Moon Royal Family.
And the deception he suffered.
The once high-ranking Ninth-Level Soul Engineer, who was also a member of royalty, suddenly became a slave who couldn't even control his own life and death.
"Anger won't do you any good in your current situation," the black-haired boy sitting in the chair said calmly. "Although reality is cruel, it is reality after all."
Xu Guozhong remained silent.
He's already gotten his credit, so he won't continue to attract hatred.
"You..." As the pain from his soul subsided, Xu Tianyuan looked at the being who was now nominally his master.
A black-haired boy?
No, that terrifying spirit power was the most extreme he had ever seen in his life.
It's probably some old freak in disguise.
An Zhen took out a piece of information that contained some information about Xu Tianyuan.
A standard interest-driven organism.
"Alright, sit down." An Zhen gestured to the chair beside him, the boy speaking in a matter-of-fact tone, "Listen to my plan, and then cooperate with my actions."
Xu Tianyuan frowned. Even the current Sun Moon Emperor spoke to him with utmost politeness. However, the next second, he watched helplessly as his body defied his will, stood up, and then sat down in the chair as the other party had instructed.
He really became a slave?!
The harsh reality was laid bare before Xu Tianyuan.
His body and soul were no longer under his control.
An indescribable sense of loneliness and despair filled Xu Tianyuan's heart.
An Zhen had no time to care about his subordinates' feelings. They were all adults who had already lived a lifetime, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to get over such a huge setback once they understood what was happening.
The next goal.
After taking down Xu Tianyuan, Huanglong is no longer a problem. The Fire Phoenix, Terror Claw, and Evil Lord—these three soul-guided legions—are not in Mingdu.
"The Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Corps. One commander and two deputies, all Ninth-Level Soul Engineers. If I remember correctly, the commander is Kong Deming, the father of spirit tools. They only obey the orders of the Sun Moon Emperor."
"And most importantly, what are the opinions of the deities of the Hall of Enshrinement regarding this?" An Zhen inquired.
Grandpa had already told him everything he knew, but his relationship with these worshippers wasn't deep, and his understanding was limited. The Sun Moon Empire had a clear division of responsibilities, especially in important places like the Hall of Enshrinement. A hasty invitation might not only lead to a refusal but could also offend the Emperor and princes. It was a major taboo for powerful subordinates to form cliques.
However, as a Ninth-Level Soul Engineer with the bloodline of the Sun Moon Royal Family, Xu Guozhong may know some other useful information.
besides...
An Zhen glanced at Xu Tianyuan, hoping that this commander was a smart man.
"!"
"Sun and Moon Royal Legion, Hall of Enshrinement? What do you want?!" Xu Tianyuan, restrained by An Zhen, let out several low growls. In his current state, he knew without a doubt what the black-haired youth intended to do to those people—"enslave them."
"Restore peace and order to the Sun Moon Empire," An Zhen said with a smile. "Or to put it more bluntly, rebel and seize the power of the Sun Moon Empire."
