Chapter 142: The Prince Shaobao
At this moment, everyone was shocked by Lu Yuan, who was so murderous, it seemed that such a thing had never happened in the Great Council Hall.
In front of the Emperor, kill an important minister of the Empire!
Moreover, Lu Yuan also directly threatened the imperial family members, "Are you going to try if my second martial soul is not sharp?" ”
This is also quite explosive in the entire history of the Douluo Continent.
Lu Yuan also knew that it was inappropriate to do this, but now, he had reached the situation of thinking about heaven and hell.
In case the Snowy Night Emperor wavered and ordered a retreat south, the millions of Li people in Heaven Dou City and Heaven Dou City would be exposed to the blood basin of the soul beast tide.
The royal family and the major forces have the ability to protect themselves from the mouth of the soul beast tide, but what about ordinary people?
Even the little nobles, do they think that with the little strength of their own family, they can escape from the tide of soul beasts?
It's just wishful thinking!
And what about after that? Xiao Wu looked like she was immortal with humans this time, could they be so lucky to escape the impact of the beast tide in the future?
So you can't evacuate Heaven Dou City!
Only by gathering all the strength to resist the soul beast can there be hope of survival!
Can't let any idea of retreat be derived in the Great Council Hall at this moment, and "troubled times need to use heavy codes", so Lu Yuan immediately made a decision, killed the Chancellor of Finance who proposed to retreat, and also coerced Xue Xing to shut him up!
Prince Xuexing looked at Lu Yuan, who was holding the Hellblade, his eyes flickered, and then he took a step back.
He didn't have the courage and courage to shout "My sword is not disadvantageous", under Lu Yuan's power and his own safety, he was afraid.
But at this time, the atmosphere in the Great Council Hall also became tense because Lu Yuan summoned his Hellblade.
That's when ......
The crown prince "Xue Qinghe" on the side stood up and said, "What the Heavenly Shadow Marquis said is reasonable, if all of our royal family retreats, what will happen to the Li Min of Doucheng and the army on the front line that day?" We can escape, but where can the tens of thousands of Li people in Doucheng flee this day? When the time comes, the people of the army will be panicked, and what will be the morale? ”
Qian Ling Xue came to Lu Yuan's side and said to the Snow Night Emperor above, "Father! Erchen felt that Tianying Hou was right, but his father was sick, and the child couldn't bear to be frightened by his father. ”
The southern hunt is an official version of the royal family's flight to the south, saying that they went to the south to hunt, but in fact, they were forced by the enemy to leave the imperial capital and flee to the southern cities.
"The son is here to supervise the country for his father, and the Marquis of Tianying, the front-line soldiers guard the country, if there is an accident, please ask the father to set up another four emperor brothers as the crown prince, in order to extend the country!" Qianyue said with tears in her eyes.
I have to say that if she hadn't known that Qian Lingxue was pretending, Lu Yuan felt that she was really a good emperor and a good prince.
The Snowy Night Emperor also came to his senses, what was he thinking?
If he really left, who else in the Heaven Dou Empire would want to work for them?
Will the front-line soldiers still fight for their Snow family?
And he didn't have many years to live, what was he afraid of?
If he really ran away at this time, what would the future generations say about him?
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi also stood up from his seat, "Your Majesty! Ministers beg to fight to the death! Swear to defend Heaven Dou City and Your Majesty to the death! ”
In the Great Council Hall, His Royal Highness "Xue Qinghe", the core of the princelings, and Ning Fengzhi, the crown prince, all said so, and other princeling nobles and officials stood up one after another. (Some book friends may find it strange, isn't the position of the prince and the prince an official position in the pure Eastern feudal era?) Isn't Douluo Continent a Western Fantasy background? But this is really not my pot, in the original text, Ning Fengzhi and Tang San both have the setting of being named the crown prince and the prince, this is Sanshao's own setting......
And this is an alternate background, Oscar is a foreign name, right? But there are Oriental names, and there are a bunch of comments in front of me that say that I don't distinguish between China and the West, why is it clear that Douluo Continent is a Western fantasy background, how can there be this? You go to the spa for me!
But the original text is originally set to coexist with the West and the East, so there's nothing wrong with me writing that
So don't care about this kind of detail, the world just treats it as a combination of Chinese and Western. )
"Fight to the death! Swear to defend Heaven Dou City and Your Majesty to the death! More than seventy percent of the princeling aristocrats said in unison.
The remaining thirty percent, one percent are the military princes and ministers of the guard who are only loyal to the Snow Night Emperor in the court and army, one percent are the nobles and power leaders who have not joined any of the forces - such as the Blue Electric Overlord Sect, and one percent are the nobles and officials who support the Snow Star Prince and the Four Princes Avalanche.
Seeing this situation, the Snowy Night Emperor was just a little old Hutu, but not a real Hutu, and his eyes gradually became firm.
"What the Marquis of Heavenly Shadow and the Emperor said is reasonable!" He said in a deep voice, "Dare to say back to the latter!" Kill it! ”
"In order to defend the tens of thousands of imperial people in Heaven Dou City, we can't leave Heaven Dou City!" He said, "Even if it is a child of the royal family, but there are those who leave Heaven Dou City, they will not be spared!" ”
The Snowy Night Emperor turned his head again at this time and looked at Lu Yuan, who was holding the Hellblade and was murderous, his eyes were full of deep meaning.
But before others could react, he said, "The Marquis of Celestial Shadow has meritorious advice, patriotism and loyalty, although his behavior is reckless, but his merits outweigh his faults, and he must be rewarded!" ”
"Feng Tianying Marquis is the crown prince Shaobao, with a bounty of 100,000 soul coins and 3,000 good jade, and he is allowed to enter the court without tending to praise and worship!" (I think the whole sword shoes go to the palace three-piece suit.,But it doesn't seem necessary.,This world is all about using martial spirits by itself.,There's no saber to say.,This seems to be a big move.,It doesn't seem to be a set to take off your shoes and enter the palace.,So I won't do it!) )
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Lu Yuan hurriedly put away the Hellern's Blade and said with a bow.
"I hope that the Marquis of Heavenly Shadow will be loyal to the empire and the crown prince in the future......" the Snow Night Emperor said meaningfully.
"The prince is Qingqing's husband, and the minister will definitely die for the prince!" Lu Yuan said at this time.
The Snowy Night Emperor suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, too, Lu Yuan's sister Lu Qingqing was promised to his imperial son, even if Lu Yuan was ruthless, it was impossible to ignore his sister's happiness and go to the detriment of "Xue Qinghe", right?
"Next, let's continue to discuss how to resist the soul beast tide this time." He smiled slightly and said, "Qinghe, Ge Long, Sect Master Ning, Sect Master Yu, let you preside over the meeting, I'm tired." ”
Then he rubbed his temples and motioned for the minister to take him down.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo also frowned and followed.
At the same time, there is also Prince Xuexing in the past, and with the conflict he had with Lu Yuan just now, it is not suitable for him to stay here now.
"Yes, Your Majesty (Father)!" Qian Lingxue, Ning Fengzhi, Ge Long, and Yu Yuanzhen all nodded and said.
And the body of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was killed by Lu Yuan, was also cleaned up by the Praetorian Guard army that came up.
But no one cares about his life or death, his status as the Minister of Finance is not worth mentioning in front of Lu Yuan, the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect and the crown prince.
His family will also be greatly reduced in the upper echelons of the Heaven Dou Empire because of this.
……
Seven days later.
In front of the ruins of the walls of Heaven Dou City.
Since Xiao Wu launched the "Soul Beast Declaration", the Snow Night Emperor has ordered to stop the repair work of the city wall.
Instead, the ruins of the city wall were cleared out of a great avenue, so that the army in Heaven Dou City and the soul master army composed of the major forces could easily march out of Heaven Dou City.
Gathering the living force of the entire Heaven Dou City, this army is nearly 700,000 people!
This is far more than the less than 600,000 troops that Ge Long said before, and of course, what Ge Long said before does not include the army of soul masters sent by the major forces.
Among the 700,000 troops, they are 100,000 Xuanwu Army, 100,000 Wind Army, 100,000 Fengwu Army, 100,000 Flame Army, and there is also a military marquis, Sen Luo Hou, who has already led his Sen Luo Legion to Zhennan Pass to replace Lu Yuan's Heavenly Shadow Army to protect Zhennan Pass.
There are also two major battles - the Battle of Zhennan Pass, the Battle of Xiong Jun in the middle, and the Great War of Brigitte intercepting them, and the Celestial Shadow Army, which has more than 30,000 people.
and 50,000 Royal Knights, and the remaining 150,000 troops are the city defense forces of Heaven Dou City, and all of them are soul masters and private armed forces sent by the major forces, families, and academies in Heaven Dou City.
These nearly 700,000 troops were arranged in their respective positions according to prior consultation.
For example, the cavalry units of the Royal Knights and the City Defense Army, and the Light Cavalry Regiment Gallop are all lined up on the left and right sides of the battlefield, and once the big battle comes, they will quickly play the role of light cavalry, cooperate with the frontal army on the flanks, and kill and injure soul beasts.
The Xuanwu Army, the heavy armored force, was at the forefront of the battlefield, ready to meet the frontal impact of the soul beasts at any time, followed by the Celestial Shadow Army and the Heaven Dou City Defense Army.
At the back were the Fire Legions, classified as archers, and now they did not have the advantage of terrain such as the city walls, so they had to go to the rear of the army and wait for the order.
The soul masters of the major forces have also been assigned their own suitable positions, ready to deal with those more special and powerful soul beasts.
At this time, standing in the camp of the Chinese army are the major military marquis in the army, as well as the strongest combat power and command figures of the major forces.
Not only that, but there was also a figure in golden armor in the military formation, and everyone was headed by "him".
That's right, it is His Royal Highness the current Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire - "Xue Qinghe".
Originally, the Snowy Night Emperor wanted to go on a personal expedition, but with his current physical condition, it was impossible for him to be on the battlefield.
In case of any accident, the death of the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire on the battlefield would be a huge blow to the morale of the entire army.
Therefore, the current "No. 2 person" of the empire, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe" can only replace the Snow Night Imperial Expedition.
After all, in this kind of battle to protect the country, no one from the royal family came to fight in person, which is really easy to lose morale.
Lu Yuan actually didn't want Qian Ling Xue to come to the Imperial Expedition, after all, he also wanted Qian Ling Xue's identity to be hidden, she went to the battlefield, and her two Title Douluo of the Martial Spirit Hall who had always been closely protected followed her, wouldn't it be easy for Sword Douluo and other Title Douluo to feel the breath and expose the identity?
But unexpectedly, after Qian Lingxue followed the army on the expedition, he asked Raaste to investigate whether there was any aura of Snake Spear Douluo and Thorn Dolphin Douluo around her, but Rayast actually said no.
As a humanoid radar, Laaste basically can't go wrong, that is, in order not to reveal her identity, Qianrenxue didn't even bring a bodyguard.
Also, as long as her identity is not revealed, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo, and even the major military marquis and him, will desperately protect her, how can there be an accident?
Lu Yuan was immediately relieved, and then began the final battle plan meeting.
Just as they were halfway through their discussions, a situation arose outside the army.
There was a situation in the distance of the army, and the dark breath slowly came.
The darkness in the sky spread from the south.
At this time, the speed in front of the black seemed to slow down a little, but the oppressive force coming from the sky still gave people a feeling of breathlessness.
In the distance, the various soul beasts of the black pressure were slowly approaching the direction of the army, and their speed was not fast, but they were very organized.
They fanned forward as a whole, almost synchronized with the dark clouds in the air, and faintly, with the breeze blowing, the surging fishy aura from the soul beasts had already been transmitted!
"Everyone prepare to meet the enemy!" This time, the marshal of the army, Ge Long, directly shouted, "According to the original plan, prepare for the battle!" ”
Ge Long was dressed in Heavenly Dou Bright Silver Armor, holding a three-pronged helmet in his arms, his fifties were the right age for a soul master, and being able to reach Contra Douluo was enough to prove that his talent was enough for him to break through the Title Douluo level, but it was just a matter of time.
He sat in the center of the army directly in the middle of the army with Qianrenxue, and did not look like leading the troops to fight at all.
It's not that he's cowardly, it's because he's a marshal, not a general.
The commander of the marshal, the general who charges the battle, the general is responsible for going into battle to kill the enemy, but the marshal must remain in the army, make proper command and strategy against the enemy.
Like Gao Chong, who was forcibly opened by Lu Yuan not long ago, he is not provoked by the enemy general, but stays in the army to deal with it, and he is an excellent marshal.
It's a pity that Lu Yuan has a desperate underworld realm, and he directly opens a heads-up arena, so there is really nothing he can do.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please." At this time, Ge Long said in a deep voice to Lu Yuan and other military marquis and generals who commanded the army.
Qian Lingxue also said in a deep voice, "This battle is about the life and death of the empire, and I hope you will work together to fight the enemy!" ”
"Yes! His Royal Highness the Prince! Be! Marshal! Lu Yuan and the other generals all bowed their hands, and then turned around and returned to the legion to which they belonged.
Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Poison Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and Yu Yuanzhen and the others were still in the position of the Chinese army, and they had to always pay attention to the 100,000-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Once the 100,000-year-old soul beast makes a move, they will also immediately intercept it.
Originally, Qianyue also proposed that Raaste also stay in the Chinese army at the beginning, but Raaste himself said that if he left Lu Yuan, his combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
After Qian Lingxue heard this, her eyes lit up, and then she pretended to be helpless, and asked Lu Yuan to pay attention to the movements of the soul beast supreme, and once she found out that the Azure Bull Python had made a move, she would let Layast come out.
Lu Yuan naturally nodded yes.
