Chapter 165: The aftermath of the war

"You go back and rest first......" Ning Rongrong said with a gentle smile.

Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong had already ended the two-person world, and it was on the moon branch at this time, that is, at eleven or twelve o'clock in the morning.

"You just came back, you still have to take a good rest, don't cultivate, you know?" Ning Rongrong grabbed Lu Yuan's arm and said.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Okay." ”

"Madame's words, I should follow the order." He playfully stepped forward and kissed Ning Rongrong on the forehead.

Ning Rongrong's face flushed, but she didn't refuse.

In fact, as early as the two and a half years in Sky Studio, she was used to the title of "Mrs. Hou", and now of course she doesn't feel any discomfort.

"Good night, Rongrong." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Good night." Ning Rongrong also pursed her lips and chuckled in reply, and then she returned to her room and closed the door.

After exchanging goodnight with Ning Rongrong, Lu Yuan also slowly returned to his room with a happy mood.

After he returned to the room, he remembered what Ning Rongrong had just said.

Ning Rongrong felt guilty for not being able to help him.

In fact, there is nothing to say about this, Lu Yuan has an arcane ability to open and hang cultivation, and his cultivation speed is not only several times that of his peers.

As his cultivation improved, the more Lu Yuan could feel how powerful the Ao Neng was.

Even with the improvement of his cultivation, the efficiency of the transformation of arcane energy into soul power has not decreased in the slightest, which also makes Lu Yuan's soul power level remain unchanged all the way and increase.

So even if he didn't have too many chances, his soul power cultivation could quickly distance himself from others.

This kind of cultivation momentum can even be compared with the "Shrek Seven Monsters" who participated in the Poseidon Divine Exam and won a lot of rewards in the original plot, or even more powerful.

Therefore, it is inevitable that Ning Rongrong and others will not be able to catch up with Lu Yuan's footsteps now.

Unless......

"Seagod Divine Examination ......" Lu Yuan's eyes flickered, "That's a good thing, but it's ......"

He chuckled, "The god of the sea is not suitable for me, if it is the god of Shura, it may be okay, but I am not Tang San." ”

With the Shura Divine Sword in Tang Chen's place, it would be impossible for him to obtain the Shura God Divine Position.

But he didn't care, "Those first-generation gods of the Douluo God Realm can become gods by themselves, why should I, Lu Yuan, pick up people's teeth and wisdom?" ”

"Death Star Scythe, Nightbringer...... None of them are any less powerful than those of the first gods! The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth outlined a confident smile, "I don't believe it, without the inheritance of the divine test, I can't become a god myself!" ”

"The Poseidon Divine Position is not suitable for me, but it is suitable for Qingqing."

"So now it's time to figure out how to get your hands on that thing." Lu Yuan pondered.

In the original plot, the treasure that opened the inheritance of the sea god was treasured by the Heaven Dou royal family for generations.

And after Qianrenxue launched the palace change, Xue Ye in order to win over Tang San and let him support Avalanche instead, not only let Avalanche worship Tang San as a teacher, but also named Tang San the king of Lan Hao.

At the same time, he also gave the Hanhai Qiankun Cover to Tang San, and Tang San opened the Hanhai Qiankun Cover again and obtained the qualification for the Divine Examination.

Now it seems that he is also following the route of the original plot, and he can still help Lu Qingqing get the Hanhai Qiankun Cover.

The time for Qianrenxue to launch the palace change must be soon......

Lu Yuan lowered his eyes, and after the change in the palace, he didn't plan to let Avalanche take the throne.

When the time comes......

Anyway, now his relationship with Avalanche, who doesn't know that it is incompatible.

Especially today, in front of the emperor, he directly insulted the avalanche, and so many people saw it.

This is what Lu Yuan did on purpose, in order to let everyone know that if Avalanche ascends the throne, he will have a reason to rebel!

At that time, even if the Snowy Night Emperor showed favor to him and the avalanche was soft, he could say that he was worried about the avalanche's revenge and rebelled.

And there is another possibility, that is, the Snow Night Emperor and Avalanche are worried that Lu Yuan will not accept it, so they will directly suppress him.

That's even better, Lu Yuan's army is more reasonable, after all, he can't sit still.

So no matter what, he would have a reason to put the empire in his hands!

"Heavenly will, supreme authority." Lu Yuan said softly, "Emperor Lu Yuan, King of Kings, Great Will, Enlightening Stars!" ”

A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, "My empire will thrive!" ”

"A Thousand Snows...... Don't let me down...... Come on...... This is the wave that helped me to climb the clouds! ”

……

Next, the Snowy Night Emperor did not immediately summon the generals into the palace to discuss the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds.

Because the Heaven Dou army after this battle still needs to be reorganized, in addition to letting these soldiers go home to reunite with their relatives and have a good rest, they also have to calculate the casualties of this battle.

This counted casualties for several days, and waited until the time was almost up.

Only then did the Snowy Night Emperor summon the imperial generals and many nobles into the palace to discuss matters.

Early in the morning, Lu Yuan followed Ning Fengzhi into the palace.

And this time, there was no Ning Rongrong and Lu Qingqing to follow, after all, it was because Lu Yuan's whereabouts were unknown that they entered the palace to discuss matters on behalf of Lu Yuan.

Now that Lu Yuan is back, he is the Celestial Shadow General who can represent the Celestial Shadow Army.

As soon as they entered the palace, many nobles and generals arrived one by one.

Soon after, the Snowy Night Emperor and Qianyue arrived.

And this time, there was no avalanche and snow star, after all, Qianrenxue, the "prince", had already returned to his place.

The crown prince is here, and he still needs Avalanche to come in and do the four princes.

Coupled with the relationship between Lu Yuan and Avalanche, it is now on the bright side.

Out of not offending Lu Yuan, the Snow Night Emperor didn't even allow Xue Xing, his younger brother, to enter the palace to discuss matters - he had nothing to do anyway.

"Meet Your Majesty, meet Your Highness." The nobles of the empire were the first to salute and then began to deliberate.

The Snowy Night Emperor looked very haggard, and the return of the prince and the army did not seem to make him look any better.

However, only Lu Yuan knew that Qian Lingxue was back, and it was strange that the Snowy Night Emperor's complexion could be good.

As long as she is in the palace, the Snowy Night Emperor's food and portable sachets will be mixed with toxins, which will make the Snowy Night Emperor's physical condition go to the next level.

So if Qianrenxue wasn't there, the Snowy Night Emperor might be in better health.

"I'm not feeling well today, so let the prince preside over today's affairs." The Snowy Night Emperor said tiredly.

The nobles present had no objection to this, in fact, the Snow Night Emperor had already handed over a large number of state affairs to the crown prince "Xue Qinghe" because of his poor physical condition over the years.

Originally, the position of the crown prince had the role of supervising the country, and Qian Lingxue had been helping to deal with state affairs all these years, so there was nothing to object to at all.

Qian Lingxue smiled slightly, but she subconsciously glanced at Lu Yuan for the first time.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then directly met Qian Lingxue's eyes.

"Let's give the seat to the teacher and Sword Douluo seniors first." She was a little flustered, and then after reacting to it, she ordered with a smile.

Let others think that she was not looking at Lu Yuan, but at Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.

In fact, even if she looked at Lu Yuan, everyone present would not feel that there was anything wrong.

But because she had a liking for Lu Yuan in her heart, and she was still in the disguise stage, she felt that this was inappropriate.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Then the guards carried the two thrones, and he and Sword Douluo both sat down.

Qian Lingxue looked at Ge Long at this time, "Marshal Ge, can the casualties of this battle be counted?" ”

Ge Long stood up, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it has been counted. ”

Although the Snowy Night Emperor said that Qian Lingxue had full authority to preside over the meeting, he was still sitting on the throne at the moment to observe.

"What about the casualties?" Qianyue asked.

"The army has lost a total of 178,445 casualties, 127,583 seriously wounded, and more than 320,000 lightly wounded............ "This is the casualty of the major army corps, of which nearly 100,000 people were killed by the city defense army, and everyone was wounded."

Then, the marquis of the major legions stood up and reported one by one.

"The Xuanwu Army, more than 13,700 people were killed...... Xuanwu Hou stood up and reported.

"Fengwu Army, more than 8,300 killed ......"

"Tempest, killed...... More than 29,700 people......" When the Storm Marquis came out to report the casualties of the Storm Army, his face turned pale.

Among the major legions, it should be the Windwind Army with the heaviest casualties.

After all, they had taken the lead in encountering Zi Ji and the Hell Demon Dragon clan before this, and the casualties were not low, and they also suffered underground detonation and battlefield fission.

As a light cavalry legion, the Windwind Army wore light armor such as leather armor, so before that terrible natural disaster, their casualties were the highest.

Moreover, when they were in the abyss underground, almost all of their horses were injured, and at the same time, they could not give full play to the advantage of cavalry in that environment, and there were also many subsequent casualties.

"Flame Army, more than 9,000 killed......"

It was Lu Yuan's turn, because the head of the Royal Knights, Lambir, died after being seriously injured by Zi Ji.

At that time, because of Lambir's suggestion, the Royal Knights temporarily merged with the Celestial Shadow Army into one army, and they were unified under the command of Lu Yuan.

Until now, the Royal Knights are also commanded by Lu Yuan.

"Royal Knights, the second division suffered the heaviest casualties this time, with nearly 3,000 killed, and almost all of the remaining soldiers were wounded, while the other nine divisions lost a total of more than 2,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 wounded." Lu Yuan said.

Hearing the casualties of the Royal Knights, the Snow Night Emperor, who was originally sitting on the throne, opened his eyes with an ugly face.

The Royal Knights belonged directly to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and although it sounded like the casualties were much lower than those of the other armies, only nearly six thousand were killed.

But you must know that the Royal Knights themselves have only 50,000 people, which is half of the establishment of the major legions.

So the number of 6,000 killed is enough to make the Snow Night Emperor feel distressed.

Lu Yuan continued, "The Shadow Army, more than 5,200 people killed in battle......

In fact, to really put it mildly, the most casualties were still the Celestial Shadow Army, after all, after the last battle of Zhennanguan, there were only more than 30,000 people left in the Celestial Shadow Army.

In this battle, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers left.

Even Lu Yuan felt very distressed, after all, this was a soldier he had spent a lot of effort and money to train.

It can even be said that in terms of elite, it is above the major titled legions.

If it weren't for the configuration of the Royal Knights, the three or more of them would be soul masters, and the Celestial Shadow Army would be even more elite than the Royal Knights.

Hearing this, Qian Lingxue sighed, "According to the laws of the empire, the aftermath of the casualties should be properly settled, and the bereavement of the fallen soldiers should be sent to their families. ”

In fact, the wounded soldiers can say that the dead soldiers are basically without bones, after all, the battlefield has become an underground abyss.

Whether it was killed on the battlefield or later died in the abyss, there was no way to collect the corpses.

can only be buried deep in the abyss, and it can be regarded as sleeping in the ground.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must properly settle the sacrificed soldiers, and you must not let the people of the empire chill." Qian Lingxue said meaningfully to the imperial prime minister and the new finance minister.

"Yes, Your Highness." The Imperial Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer hurriedly said.

"Well, it's time to reward meritorious deeds, the deceased has gone, but now great deeds have to be rewarded." Qian Lingxue then said with a smile.

"What do you think?"

She looked at Lu Yuan, Ge Long and other generals, and wanted them to take the lead in asking for credit.

At this moment, unexpectedly, the gray-haired Xuanwu Marquis took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the minister thinks that this great achievement should be rewarded first......

"Celestial Shadow Marquis!"

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect Xuanwu Hou to be the first to stand up, but he asked for credit for Lu Yuan!

Lu Yuan was also very surprised.

At this moment, Xuanwu Hou said firmly, "The Celestial Shadow Marquis commanded the Celestial Shadow Army and the Royal Knights, and at the same time saved the Royal Knights and the Windswept Army on the battlefield for the first time, and then took the lead and rushed to kill before the battlefield......"

"I also ordered the senior of Layast to resist the attack of the 100,000-year-old soul beast head-on, and at the same time saw through the tricks of the soul beast and saved Heaven Dou City and the ...... of the thousands of people in the city."

"At the same time, when he was in the deep abyss, he also protected His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the first time, and at the same time, with the help of the Heavenly Shadow Marquis's own ability, he saved the remnants of the army and returned to Heaven Dou City."

Xuanwu Hou said slowly, "Therefore, this warlord thinks that the Heavenly Shadow Marquis should be the first to take the lead!" ”

After listening to his words, everyone immediately felt that it made sense.

Not to mention anything else, it was to help the remaining Heaven Dou army escape in the end, which was a great achievement.

Otherwise, there is no need to talk about casualties in this battle, and nearly 700,000 troops are trapped in the abyss underground, and they can only wait for death slowly without supplies.

Although nearly 400,000 troops were killed and wounded, at least some soldiers survived.

Not to mention the other merits such as protecting Heaven Dou City, defending against the Titan Giant Ape, and protecting Qianrenxue.

This is a great achievement, and every thing taken out is at least a great merit of being knighted, or at least a great merit of being a marquis.

And Lu Yuan was already an imperial nobleman at the level of marquis and prince Shaobao.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a great achievement......

The Snowy Night Emperor frowned at this moment and looked at Lu Yuan below.

Lu Yuan looked at Xuanwu Hou with some curiosity, only to see Xuanwu Hou smiling at him with his head sideways.

Obviously, he was currying favor with Lu Yuan.

The Flame Marquis on the side saw it, and immediately cursed in his heart, "Old fox." ”

He also hurriedly stood up at this moment, "The minister also thinks that in this war, the Marquis of Heavenly Shadow has made great contributions. ”
