Chapter 188: Divine Dragon Venerable
In an instant, the thousand-meter-long city wall in front of the entire Zhennan Pass City was like a child playing with mud, reshaping back to a nearly complete appearance, although compared to the original city wall that was carefully built brick by brick, this restored city wall looked very rough.
But this earth-shattering, almost godlike method still shocked both sides on the battlefield!
This kind of means is nothing more than the work of the gods, right?
Lu Yuan stood in place, although all the soul power in his body was exhausted.
In fact, it wasn't just the soul power, Lu Yuan even felt that half of the arcane energy that had just been plundered in his body had disappeared directly.
Just now, the source number control mobilized Ao Neng, and it was only then that everything in front of him was achieved.
Otherwise, not to mention that Lu Yuan's soul power is exhausted, even if Lu Yuan is directly squeezed dry, he can't do this kind of thing.
Therefore, Lu Yuan's soul power was directly consumed at this moment, and Ao Neng was directly consumed by half.
But he didn't fall because of this, and the arcane energy plundered by the Death Star Demon Scythe quickly turned into soul power, replenishing the depleted soul power in his body.
It's just that the soul power was consumed in an instant, and the use of source number control consumed a lot of spiritual power, which made him a little tired physically and mentally.
So Lu Yuan stood in place, his face looking extremely cold.
It wasn't intentional on his part, it was because he was physically and mentally exhausted to the extreme, and he didn't have the strength to make any more expressions.
But Lu Yuan's expressionless appearance at the moment actually made the Zhennan Pass guards on the city wall look at it with a kind of awe and horror from the bottom of their hearts.
It's not that before that, the defenders of Zhennan Pass didn't feel awe of Lu Yuan.
But the fear of Lu Yuan in their hearts at this time was the awe and fear that they looked at the gods!
Man must be in awe and distance from the gods!
Lu Yuan didn't notice the change in the attitude of the defenders of Zhennan Pass towards him, but after recovering a little soul power, he came to Ning Rongrong's side.
The shadow clone disappeared in an instant directly because his soul power was exhausted.
"Rongrong, it's okay." Lu Yuan looked at Ning Rongrong, who was pale, and asked.
Ning Rongrong leaned into his arms at the moment, and nodded reluctantly, "I'm okay." ”
Lu Yuan took advantage of the situation to inject a burst of arcane energy into Ning Rongrong's body, and Ning Rongrong's face instantly looked a lot better, and he was a little surprised.
"It's ......"
"My fifth soul ring has a negligible ability." Lu Yuan said with a smile.
Sen Luohou also had a huge consumption of soul power in his body at this time, but he had not completely consumed it, and he came to Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong.
"Duke of Skyshadow, good means!" He couldn't help but sigh.
"Now the other party should have no way to continue the siege, and their siege equipment has been destroyed." Lu Yuan shook his head indifferently, but said, "But the other party in this battle should have seen the reality in our Zhennan Pass, so the other party's next offensive is bound to be more rapid!" ”
The Star Luo Empire's casualties this time could be described as the largest siege battle, even greater than the casualties it had added on the previous two times.
At least more than 400,000 casualties were caused, and Lu Yuan's shadow collapse was purely lethal as Xinghuang shattered, but the effect of its shadow erosion plus the subsequent fall from Zhennan Pass, and then Lu Yuan used the source number control to bury the remaining tens of thousands of troops alive in the city wall.
This time, the casualties of the Star Luo Empire were even greater than before!
With such a large casualty, the blow to morale is undoubtedly very large, and with the city wall of Zhennan Pass having been restored, it is impossible for the Star Luo Empire to continue to attack.
If the attack continues, the Star Luo Empire will collapse first.
Presumably, with Dai Qingxiao's excellent military command ability, he would not let the army of the Star Luo Empire continue to forcibly attack the city.
"Yes...... Sen Luohou's face was suddenly solemn, "There is still half a month, how can we defend Zhennan Pass for half a month?" ”
In the next half a month, the Star Luo Empire can still plan at least two sieges, how can Zhennan Pass defend two sieges?
In this battle, the defenders of Zhennan Pass, who had almost no casualties before, also suffered huge casualties.
Although the number of casualties is not higher than that of the Star Luo Empire, if you look at it proportionally, the casualties on both sides are almost the same!
But Zhennanguan can't be so consumed like this every time with the Star Luo Empire......
And this time it was very reluctant to keep it, will you make sure that you can keep it like this next time?
But......
After all, Lu Yuan was there, although he felt that it was impossible to hold it, but Lu Yuan led them to create three miracles, and three times they defended Zhennan Pass with weak resistance.
So even if he felt that it was difficult to defend it anymore, Sen Luohou still felt that what if he could defend it?
Now they have no choice, because it is the order of the entire strategy of the Heaven Dou Empire to defend Zhennan Pass, and it is impossible to stop fighting on the battlefield because they can't fight.
Unless the city surrenders directly, but how is this possible?
In particular, the defenders were Sen Luohou and Lu Yuan, who were both imperial pillars who were deeply favored by the Heaven Dou Empire.
Moreover, their family and friends were still in the imperial capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.
How could anyone be favored by the Empire, and the whole family was still in the imperial capital, and then surrendered to the enemy country?
In this way, he not only tells the whole continent that he is an unfaithful person, but also an unfilial person, and such a disloyal and unfilial person, even if he occupies the righteousness, will be ashamed.
What's more, if it is just to save their lives, even if it is to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city, such as the people and soldiers of the army, it cannot be regarded as occupying righteousness.
Disloyalty, filial piety and injustice, this round will directly become infamous, and everyone will despise it.
Therefore, even if every soldier is exhausted, Zhennan Pass must be held.
"Order the army to take turns to rest and recuperate, deal with the casualties and soldiers, and calculate how many troops we still have that we can use......" Lu Yuan shook his head and said.
"Hmm." Sen Luohou nodded, and then immediately shouted, "All the troops listen to the order, count and deal with the casualties, and then rest in place, divided into three rounds, first ......"
Sen Luohou directly ordered in an orderly manner, while Lu Yuan supported Ning Rongrong to go down from the city wall first.
……
The army of the Star Luo Empire.
Commanding the battalion in the rear of the army, Dai Qingxiao and the others looked at the broken wall of Zhennanguan with their own eyes, as if they were being played with mud by children, and directly restored to a slightly uneven appearance compared with the original.
"What's that?!" Empress Zhu Lanxi asked sharply.
Her eyes were full of disbelief, the scene in front of her was really unbelievable, it was something that could happen in this world.
Because in the world of Douluo Continent, it is not difficult to destroy, just like Tang Hao in the original plot can destroy the gate of Jialing Pass with one hammer, it is not difficult.
But if you ask Tang Hao to restore the destroyed city gate to its original state, then Tang Hao will definitely not be able to do it.
To put it bluntly, the world level of Douluo Continent is very low-level, and the use of power is more based on low-level destructive capabilities, as for control and even creation, these must be reached the god-level level to be done.
Of course, it doesn't have to be a god to do this, like the Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi and Angel Douluo Qiandaoliu in the original plot, the three peerless Douluo have all shown their great power of control and creation.
But none of them could show Lu Yuan's ability to recover and transform matter.
In addition to the power of the Dark Demon God Tiger, there is also the power from the arcane energy in Lu Yuan's body, which is originally the supreme top-level energy in the universe.
In the Odyssey universe, the Arcans can not only be plundered to destroy everything, but also used by the astral forces to recreate everything.
Therefore, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Origin Power and Ability, coupled with the supreme power of Ao Neng, created the powerful soul technique of Source Number Control, which directly pointed to the origin of the world.
Dai Qingxiao, Zhu Lanxi and others have never seen each other...... No, it should be said that this kind of thing has never even happened before.
So they all froze in place.
"Your Majesty......" At this moment, the herald from the front line quickly walked in and knelt down on one knee.
He said in a deep voice, "The city wall of Nanguan in the front line town has been restored to its original state, the generals asked...... We...... Do you want to continue to storm Zhennanguan ......"
Dai Qingxiao and the others came back to their senses, and at this time, the Dead Blade General Wang Qianjian and the Wild Lion General Ren all stood up, "Your Majesty! It's not time to fight again! ”
Wang Qianjian said in an obscure voice, "Now that there is no army and siege equipment on Zhennan Pass, all the siege equipment has been destroyed, if you want to rush up again, you need to continue to make siege vehicles. ”
Wren also said, "Your Majesty, the morale of our army is low at this time, if we attack again, I am afraid that the army will be dissatisfied, so continue to attack, I am afraid that we will pay a greater price......"
"In this battle, the opponent's casualties are definitely not small, and if we plan to attack again in the future, the other side may not be able to take it......"
After Dai Qingxiao listened, his face sank, and then he took a deep breath.
"Well, I know very well that the present situation is really not suitable for further assault......," he said calmly, "then order the army to retreat, camp and rest, and discuss the siege later!" ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! Many Star Luo Empire generals responded in unison.
Soon, as Lu Yuan had guessed before, the army of the Star Luo Empire retreated soon after seeing that the walls of Zhennan Pass had been restored.
Like a receding tide, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Star Luo Empire retreated.
……
Wait until the next day.
Sen Luohou came to Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong with a worried face, "Duke of Heavenly Shadow, Miss Ning." ”
After a day and a night of rest, Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong needless to say that they have almost recovered.
Ning Rongrong saw Sen Luohou's bad face, and immediately said with some worry, "Sen Luohou, what are you ...... Could it be that the army of the Star Luo Empire is attacking again? ”
"Not really," Sen Luohou shook his head, "Not long after the end ......of the Great War, it is impossible for them to launch a siege war so quickly, after all, the soldiers below are all ordinary people, and it is impossible for them to recover so quickly." ”
Even if it was a siege that lasted for a few days, it was impossible to start the attack the next day directly after a major battle.
Ning Rongrong didn't know much about this battlefield, so he couldn't help but be a little worried.
Lu Yuan's face was indifferent, he had somewhat guessed what Sen Luohou was going to say now, "Sen Luohou...... What about the casualties of the Great Army? ”
"I'm here to talk about it...... Sen Luohou sighed and said, "In this battle, we killed nearly 50,000 brothers, seriously injured more than 20,000 brothers, and wounded 70,000 soldiers who were defending on the city wall at that time......
"The sons and daughters guarding the city gate are okay and not injured, so I plan to send some of them up to defend the city."
"But...... We can only defend the city with a maximum of 100,000 troops......" Sen Luo Hou smiled bitterly, "On the side of the Star Luo Empire, in return, they still have 400,000 elite main battle troops, and they have also requisitioned 300,000 people from the baggage army as front-line soldiers. ”
700,000 vs. 100,000......
The situation has become so bad that it is difficult to hold on to Zhennan Pass.
Lu Yuan also felt that it was very tricky, yesterday he was actually forced to a dead end, and he only had the idea of giving it a try, and finally repelled the Star Luo Empire.
But if he does this again, it is estimated that the other party will not give him a chance to do this.
Therefore, now Lu Yuan feels a little forced to the edge of the cliff......
But......
"For now, I don't have a good solution, but we also have to learn about the Star Luo Empire at this time......" Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.
"You mean...... Sen Luohou's eyes lit up.
"That's right, the young and middle-aged people of the Principality of Hull are ...... as soldiers," Lu Yuan said.
This is a temporary conscription, the mobilization of men in the youth of the Principality for war, which is called the capture of strong men.
"Now is not the time to talk about humanity and inhumanity, the empire is in trouble, and the young and middle-aged men of the Principality of Hull must respond to the call to defend their families even if they are unwilling!" Sen Luohou nodded.
Lu Yuan frowned, "You can't force it." ”
"My opinion is......" he said, "if there are three fathers and brothers in the family who are young and above in their prime, or two fathers and sons, their fathers shall be requisitioned as soldiers, and if there are two brothers, their brothers shall be requisitioned as soldiers; If there is an only child in the family and one of the parents has to be supported, there is no need to levy it. ”
"That's fine." Sen Luohou thought about it, nodded and agreed.
……
And at this time, above a high peak.
"Thousands of winds in one punch!" The graceful figure stood high on the top of the mountain, shouting and throwing a punch!
Underneath her were hundreds of ascetics dressed in rough linen, bald heads, or shaved short hair.
And in this city of Sotho, they have a name called "Monks".
All the disciples and monks behind her shouted at the same time and threw a punch, and the fierce fist style was terrifying.
Under the graceful figure taking the lead in practicing boxing, everyone listened to the teachings of the pleasant but solemn graceful figure, and seemed to really see that the divine dragon that mastered the storm was personally teaching them.
As they cheered, they felt that their bodies were getting stronger and stronger!
"Quiet as dark clouds, moving like a hurricane!" The graceful figure withdrew its last fist, then exhaled a cloudy breath, ending today's practice.
"Quiet as dark clouds, moving like a hurricane!" All the monks exhaled a breath of turbid air at this time.
"Thank you, Venerable......" Suddenly, the monks respectfully folded their hands and saluted the graceful figure in front of them.
