Sky Studios.

"The sea of stars is boundless, and each one is waiting for me to pick it!" Lu Yuan snorted.

In his hand, a man-tall Death Star Scythe appeared, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, and seven soul rings rose from his feet.

The combination of two yellow and five black soul rings is simply eye-catching.

The moment Lu Yuan summoned the martial spirit, he also brandished the Death Star Demon Scythe and rushed up at the same time.

The furious speed turned his body into an afterimage.

"Just in time!" The blood-colored tall figure in front of Lu Yuan said with a laugh.

This blood-colored figure was none other than Raaste.

Lu Yuan wielded the Death Star Demon Scythe and slashed horizontally with one blow, and his strength and speed, even if he was a Soul Saint-level powerhouse like him, had to retreat temporarily.

But Raast jumped up quickly, flipped in mid-air, and dodged Lu Yuan's slash.

Lu Yuan reacted quickly, "Sharp blade through!" ”

Raast didn't have time to dodge the blade that suddenly changed his move, and was knocked back a few steps by the blue-purple shockwave.

At this time, when he couldn't control his body, Lu Yuan once again brandished the Death Star Demon Scythe to attack, "The giant scythe sweeps!" ”

Raast grabbed it with his backhand, and Lu Yuan's spinning Death Star scythe stopped in place.

At a close look, Raaste didn't actually grab the Death Star Scythe blade, but grabbed it...... The handle of the Death Star Scythe.

"Haha, boy, it's a lot of progress, but compared with Uncle Ben, there is still a long way to go." Raaste said with a strange smile.

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes, and then directly withdrew the Death Star Demon Scythe, "I know, I don't need you to remind me." ”

In Heavenly Shadow City, although he was busy with military affairs every day, Lu Yuan did not give up his cultivation and combat training.

Combat training is like now, fighting with Raaste every day, and in terms of cultivation......

He is now at level seventy-five soul power, and he has not slackened in his cultivation.

Although today's Raaste is powered by arcane energy, his strength is described by the soul master system, which is about the middle of the ninety-eighth level.

Lu Yuan's previous guess about Rayast's strength was right, and Rayast's strength did increase with the improvement of his strength realm.

For example, before he reached the Soul Emperor, Layast could be equivalent to a ninety-seventh-level Titled Douluo.

After Lu Yuan's strength reached the Soul Emperor, Layast was equivalent to a ninety-eight-level Title Douluo.

But after Lu Yuan reached the Soul Saint level, Layast only reached the middle stage from the early ninety-eighth level.

Because of the ninety-seventh to ninety-eighth level and the ninety-eighth to ninety-ninth level, although these two are only one level apart from soul power, the gap between them is completely different.

It's the same as the gap between the Soul King and the Soul Emperor and the Soul Emperor to the Soul Saint.

Lu Yuan guessed that after he reached the Contra level, Raast's strength would still stay at the level of ninety-eight.

In order for Layast to reach the power level of the three peerless Douluo in this world, at least Lu Yuan must reach the Title Douluo level before Layast can reach that level.

And to break through the 100th level......

I'm afraid that only when Lu Yuan also breaks through the hundred-level limit can Raast break through together.

"Boy, why don't I say, let's not stay here anymore, just pick up the guy and help you get that old man, how about you sit on it?" Raaste rolled his eyes and said with a grin.

Lu Yuan said surgingly, "What? Are you more anxious than me? ”

Layast is actually right, the current Lu Yuan has the strength to directly rebel, and then use absolute force to directly force Xue Ye to give way.

After all, standing on Lu Yuan's side was Layaste, the strongest person equivalent to the ninety-eighth level Title Douluo, and among the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect, there were also ninety-five level Bone Douluo and ninety-seven-level Sword Douluo.

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo can be regarded as Lu Yuan's teacher, so even if he is now on the side of the royal family, but Lu Yuan really rebelled directly, then it is estimated that he will maintain a neutral attitude.

But Lu Yuan really didn't want to do this, not that he didn't have that ambition.

But this is too big a loss, it is better to wait until Qianrenxue and the Wuhun Hall launch the soul hunting operation and the change of the palace, without losing too much of the internal strength of the Heaven Dou Empire, and rightfully win the throne, that is the best way,

"War, destruction, violence, lust, these are all things I crave." Raaste said with a sly grin.

"Raaste ...... Don't worry, it's going to be fast, and you'll get what you want to fight in no time. Lu Yuan said softly at this time.

Raaste was about to say something, but at that moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the hallway.

He immediately turned into blood light and returned to Lu Yuan's body.

Lu Yuan turned to look at the comer, who was a Shadow Stream soldier and a member of his clan.

"What's the matter?" He asked in a deep voice.

"Master Hou, there was an urgent report from Zhennan Pass last night-" The soldier said anxiously, "The Zhennan Pass guarded by the Principality of Hull has appeared with the army of the Star Luo Empire!" ”

Lu Yuantong shrank his face, "How is the battle situation in Zhennanguan now?" ”

"I don't know, because the defenders of Zhennan Pass were the first to discover the army of the Star Luo Empire, so they directly sent someone to send the message quickly." The pro-soldier said in a deep voice, "The imperial capital should not receive the news until we are a few days later, Master Hou, what should we do?" ”

Celestial Shadow City is located in the southwestern border of the empire in the province of Fasno, not far from the southern part of the Duchy of Hull town Nanguan, and in the case of an expedited 800 miles, it is possible to reach Celestial Shadow City in one day and one night.

And Tiandou City is far away from Zhennan Pass, and after Zhennan Pass is the Duchy of Hull, and after the Duchy of Hull there are two small principalities side by side, and then there is the Kingdom of Barak.

After the Barak Kingdom, it is Jialing Pass, and after Jialing Pass, it is the Zhili area of the Tiandou Empire in Pingchuan.

It took more than half a month to set off from Heaven Dou City to Zhennan Pass before, but now even if it is eight hundred miles to send the letter back, it will take five or six days.

Before that, the only people who could send troops to support Zhennanguan were the Barak Kingdom and Lu Yuan, the imperial marquis who controlled both the Celestial Shadow Army and the Royal Knights.

Lu Yuan's answer was naturally ......

"Send troops to help." Lu Yuan said in a deep voice, "Immediately convene all the commanders and city lords to discuss important matters, inform the provincial minister of Fasno Province, and open the way to mobilize the army!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers immediately ran down and conveyed the order.

……

Celestial Shadow Campus.

The Grand Central Conference Room.

From the very beginning, Lu Yuan ran towards the goal of being able to accommodate 100,000 troops, including war horses, and let people build it.

This spent, and the remaining one million gold soul coins of the two million gold soul coins that Ning Fengzhi gave him because of the immortal grass at the beginning, were all spent.

But for Lu Yuan, this money is just a bunch of numbers if he keeps it and doesn't spend it.

He is not a miser, and he doesn't feel sorry at all for spending his money on important places.

Lu Yuan took Ning Rongrong and sat at the front of the conference room, and in front of him were the fifty commanders of the Royal Knights, several senior commanders of the Shadow Stream Legion, and the ten commanders of the Celestial Shadow Army.

There are also the civil ministers led by Cheng Chao, the lord of Heavenly Studios.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just received an urgent letter, and the army of the Star Luo Empire has appeared in Zhennan Pass, which is guarded by the Duchy of Hull." Lu Yuan said bluntly.

Suddenly, the faces of all the senior officers present changed.

Especially the high-ranking generals of the Celestial Shadow Army and the Shadow Stream Soldiers, they have not officially faced the regular army, and naturally their faces have changed the most.

But even the commanders of the Royal Knights, who had participated in the war a lot, heard the news at this moment, and their faces were so good that they couldn't see where to go.

After all, it was the army of the Star Luo Empire that attacked this time!

Some veteran generals, such as the three commanders who had reached the level of Soul King early, Han Qiannuo, Russell, and Cheng Qixiao, had fought against the proud generals of the Star Luo Empire more than ten years ago.

But there is no doubt that what the Star Luo Empire has given them is an unforgettable defeat.

But in any case, they knew very well that this war was inevitable.

It is impossible for the empire to sit back and watch the loss of Zhennan Pass, after Zhennan Pass will be the major principalities and kingdoms that are subject to the Heaven Dou Empire, if these principalities and kingdoms are occupied, then only the Jialing Pass will be left in the center of the empire.

"It will be a few days slow for the imperial capital to receive the news, and we can't wait for His Majesty's reply before sending troops to help." Lu Yuan continued, "So this is a meeting for the mobilization of the army. ”

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

At this moment, Hornak, the commander of the Royal Knights, stood up and arched his hand and said, "General! It will take time for the main army to mobilize, and I propose that our Royal Knights go to the aid first, and in the case of light equipment, we can reach Zhennanguan in three days and two days! ”

The Royal Knights are actually an elite army of light cavalry, but in fact, even if they are light cavalry, they must not carry a baggage when they are long-distance to help.

And Hornak's proposal is to let the Royal Knights take the lead in reaching the main battlefield with high mobility without carrying protective heavy armor, bows and arrows, and all kinds of weapons, and only carrying food and grass for two days.

Wait until the main force arrives, and then fight with baggage.

Lu Yuan nodded, "Then according to what you said, five thousand royal knights will travel lightly and arrive at Zhennan Pass first to inquire about the battlefield situation!" ”

"Han Qiannuo, Cheng Qixiao, Russell, Hornak, Barnaby, Gao Kai......" He called out ten names one after another, and these ten commanders were all relatively reliable and loyal to Lu Yuan's cronies in the Royal Knights.

"The six of you form the commander-in-chief, and the six of you can vote to decide in case of trouble, if the vote cannot determine the exact result, put aside the discussion for the time being, and wait for my arrival." Lu Yuan said.

In a situation like that, if the vote does not come up with an obvious result, it proves that the situation is quite tricky, so it is better to act conservatively and wait for Lu Yuan to know before deciding.

It's better to be cautious than to be too aggressive.

At least be cautious not to bury the army, and to rush in.

"Yes! Checkmate! The six Commanders stood up and arched their hands.

"Alright, without further ado, you guys move first." Lu Yuan ordered.

All fifty commanders of the Royal Order stood up, "Obey the General's orders!" ”

The commanders of the Royal Knights all walked out and began to come directly to the Bo Noble God.

The rest are the commanders of the Celestial Shadow Army and the subordinates of Celestial Shadow City, Lu Yuan took the lead in looking at Cheng Chao, "Cheng Chao." ”

"The subordinate is here." Cheng Chao arched his hand and said.

"Try to gather the baggage in the city as much as possible, and then arrange for the people to go to the front line with us." Lu Yuan said, "During my absence, everything in the Heavenly Shadow City is up to you to decide. ”

"Obey the orders of the Hou Ye." Cheng Chao said respectfully, and then he also turned around and went down with people, ready to arrange for the people who transported the baggage and collected the baggage.

】

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Celestial Shadow Army, it is time to raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while, and now is the time to test the results of our military training in the past two years." Lu Yuan turned to look at the remaining Celestial Shadow Army commanders and said in a surging voice.

Lu Po, who was sitting below, was a little nervous at this time, not long ago Lu Yuan had just finished saying that once they were asked to lead troops to the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, in less than a month, he was really going to the battlefield.

It's a lie to say that you are not nervous, after all, it has only been two years since the establishment of the Celestial Shadow Army.

"Straighten out the army and set off today!" Lu Yuan announced directly.

"Yes! Checkmate! The ten commanders all stood up and said.

……

After the mobilization meeting, Ning Rongrong said with some concern, "The Star Luo Empire is menacing this time, it seems that it is really like what Xiao Yuan said, the plot is not small. ”

"Obviously, this time they want to take Zhennan Pass and the Duchy of Hull behind Zhennan Pass, as well as the other two small principalities." Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Once these three places are taken, the Barak Kingdom that guards the imperial capital will be directly exposed, and the Barak Kingdom, which has no natural dangers to defend, will become a lamb to the slaughter!"

"So this time we must defend Zhennan Pass!" Lu Yuan took a deep breath, "But I don't know how much preparation the Star Luo Empire has made in the past two years, but this time is actually not a real danger for us." ”

"The Star Luo Empire didn't know that I was here, and they didn't know that we had the big killer of Layast."

Rayast, the soul equivalent to a ninety-eight-level peak Douluo, can continue to plunder the arcane energy on the battlefield, and can be called the god of death on the battlefield.

So Raaste is their insurance, but what Lu Yuan hopes more is to let the Celestial Shadow Army feel the atmosphere of the battlefield.

Unless it was a matter of life and death, he would not let Raaste make a move.

The bottom line of the casualties of the Celestial Shadow Army that Lu Yuan can accept in this battle is one-fifth of the casualty rate, that is, the Celestial Shadow Army out of 50,000 people, if the casualties exceed 10,000, he will let Raast take action.

As cruel as it sounds, it is a necessary sacrifice, and it is absolutely impossible to be without casualties on the battlefield.

And once the Celestial Shadow Army has gone through this battle, they will become a powerful army from now on, and they will not be a bunch of new soldiers.

"The Star Luo Empire does not have the title Douluo powerhouse, which is a good thing for us." Ning Rongrong also breathed a sigh of relief, "But Xiao Yuan, this time I want to fight side by side with you!" ”

"No problem." Lu Yuan smiled dumbly.

Ning Rongrong was a little surprised, "I thought you were going to reject me......

"No, it won't." Lu Yuan chuckled and said softly, "After all, we are an unmarried couple, although I would love to let you stay in the rear of Stability, but I know that this is a kind of disrespect to you." ”

"And Rongrong, you are indispensable to me." He said earnestly.

Although two years have passed since Ning Rongrong has not broken through the Soul Emperor's cultivation, he is also the strength of the Soul King's peak.

And the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda Soul Master at the peak of the Soul King has given a huge increase to others, and the sixty percent increase effect is a huge increase for Lu Yuan who has opened the Shadow Assassin form, or Lu Yuan who has turned on the Death Star incarnation state!

This sixty percent increase in all attributes can even allow Lu Yuan, who has now reached the Soul Saint Cultivation, to use a chain of rift shadows that are full of blood in the face of those soldiers who are all mortals, even if he is in the Death Star incarnation form.

It's scary.

Before this, the Death Star's incarnate form of the Serial Rift Shadow could not achieve the effect of slashing at the ordinary army with full blood, and his effect was that he could quickly recover his physical strength and soul power.

In the Shadow Assassin form, it is the effect of full health and high slash.

But under Ning Rongrong's amplification, Lu Yuan was able to open a full-blood slash in the Death Star incarnation form.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong is a big help to Lu Yuan on the battlefield.

The most important thing is that now Lu Yuan can open the Death Shadow Clone, and he who has learned the Seven Tricks of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect's Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart Secret, can now even separate a second clone and manipulate it as he pleases.

Therefore, even if Ning Rongrong went to the battlefield, Lu Yuan could use the Shadow Clone to protect Ning Rongrong, and his body was to rush and kill on the frontal battlefield.

"That's good, Xiao Yuan, let's fight side by side." Ning Rongrong's eyes showed infinite tenderness.

This feeling of being needed by Lu Yuan is exactly what she has always wanted.

"We're going to win this war." Lu Yuan clenched her little hand and said.

Ning Rongrong pursed his lips suddenly, and said with a chuckle, "Then when this war is over, let's start preparing for the wedding......

"Huh?" Lu Yuan's eyes widened suddenly.

"What? Don't you want to? Ning Rongrong frowned, "In another month, it will be your eighteenth birthday, and in ten months, it will be my eighteenth birthday. ”

"It's not ......" Lu Yuan was helpless, this "get married when you win this battle" is a mortal flag, although it sounds too metaphysical.

But he really didn't want to make such a flag.

"It's just that I've heard of a custom that you can't say celebration or marriage before the war." He thought about it for a while, and said helplessly, "This is unlucky, and it is easy to be contaminated with bad luck." ”

"Okay then." Ning Rongrong was suddenly a little embarrassed, "Then let's not talk about this." ”

After this matter was revealed, she thought about it again and said, "What about Qingqing now?" She's still with us......"

"This little girl ......" Lu Yuan had a little headache, "If you know about this, you will definitely go to the rescue with us." ”

"But it's impossible to hide it, can it?" Ning Rongrong said.

Yes, it is impossible to hide such a thing as mobilizing the army.

"Anyway, there's no way I'm going to let her go to war, she's only fourteen years old now, and it's too nonsense to go to war." Lu Yuan said.

"Dude! I'm fifteen! At this time, a dissatisfied voice came.
