Chapter 194: See You Again
The army of the Star Luo Empire quickly retreated, but in the end, it still left the corpses of hundreds of thousands of troops on the city wall.
But Zhennanguan is definitely not so easy, this time it is more than 60,000 defenders who have paid for their lives, and the 170,000 army is now only 60,000 troops......
Lu Yuan and Sen Luohou knew very well that it would be useless to repel the army of the Star Luo Empire now, they held the Zhennan Pass for 25 days, and there were still 300,000 people in the Principality of Hull to evacuate in the future.
In other words, even if it is just to transfer the people of the Principality of Hull, they may not necessarily need to really hold on to Zhennanguan for a month.
Even more ruthlessly, most of the people of the Principality of Hull have already evacuated, and it doesn't matter if these 300,000 people don't care.
A more iron-blooded and ruthless general will do this, after all, 300,000 people have no ability to fight, so it is better to retain an army of 60,000 that has the ability to fight.
But Lu Yuan can be ruthless to soldiers, after all, it is their duty for soldiers to die in battle, but ordinary people are different.
The remaining 300,000 people must be evacuated safely, and this is also for the 50,000 conscripted youth soldiers who sacrificed to protect their families behind them.
That's right, the 50,000 young and middle-aged troops who were temporarily requisitioned had already been sacrificed, and they had almost died in the siege battle in the previous four days.
After today's battle, they have all been killed, not only them, but also the original defenders of Zhennan Pass, and now among the remaining 60,000 troops in Zhennan Pass, eighty percent of the surviving soldiers are the Senluo Army, a powerful legion of the Heaven Dou Empire.
But, no matter what, it finally survived.
All the soldiers on Zhennan Pass sat in place for the rest of their lives, gasping for breath while covering their wounds.
Only those soul masters who suddenly appeared to help them were still standing at the moment, and they all withdrew their martial souls, and then looked at the two shadows among them.
"His Holiness." They said in unison.
"Everybody's worked hard." Yu Youxi said with a smile.
Yu Youxi and Yu Youxi also took back their martial souls and soul rings at this moment, and then looked around.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan smiled slightly, and Ning Rongrong, who was supported by him, looked at Yu Youxi and Yu Youxi, a little curious, "...... they are"
"The Divine Dragon Sect, they are also some of my old friends." Lu Yuan said, and at the same time, he infused some of the arcane energy into Ning Rongrong's body, allowing her to recover some of her physical strength a little.
"The Divine Dragon Sect?" Ning Rongrong was a little puzzled, she had never heard of such a force on the Douluo Continent, "Why haven't I heard of it." β
Of course, she hadn't heard of it, the Divine Dragon Sect had not been in the past ten years since its founding, and it had been active in the territory of the Barak Kingdom.
In addition, the speed of information transmission in this era is very low, so it is normal for her not to know about the Divine Dragon Sect.
"I'll take you to meet my two friends." Lu Yuan said, "Thanks to them, we were able to defend it." β
After speaking, Ning Rongrong and Lu Yuan walked towards Yu Youxi and Yu Weak.
At the same time, Sen Luohou also calmed down his breath a little, and then took the lead in walking in front of the Yu family sisters, it was obvious from the name of the monks of the Divine Dragon Sect just now that the Yu family sisters were the heads of these soul masters.
"Hello two young ladies, I'm Ilusen, the general of the Heaven Dou Empire, thank you for your help, what do you call me?"
"Yu Youxi." Yu Youxi said with a smile.
Yu is a little cold, "Yu is weak." β
And at this moment, Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong also slowly came to Yu Youxi and Yu Youxi.
"Long time no see."
Yu Youxi and Yu Youxi looked at the tall man in front of them whose face was covered by blue and gold two-color armor, and couldn't help but be shocked by his powerful aura and took a step back.
Due to the shadow armor blocking the spread of Lu Yuan's voice, and the passage of six years, his voice has also changed at this moment, which is not quite the same as in the past.
So for the first time, Yu Youxi and Yu Xiaoxi couldn't recognize him.
However, Lu Yuan's killing performance and strength on the battlefield just now are also obvious to all, although he is a Contra Douluo like Sen Luohou, it is obvious that this tall man is the highest speaker in Zhennan Pass.
But......
The Yu family sisters were a little dazed when they heard Lu Yuan's sentence "long time no see".
Sen Luohou was also a little surprised, could it be that these two heads of reinforcements were Lu Yuan's former friends?
No wonder......
He looked thoughtful.
"The general...... Have we met before? Yu Youxi asked suspiciously
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he finally reacted, and said with a smile, "By the way, I almost forgot." β
As soon as his mind moved, the shadow armor covering his whole body was suddenly lifted, revealing his original face.
"Do you recognize me now?" Lu Yuan looked at the Yu family sisters, smiled slightly, and said.
Looking at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar handsome face that suddenly appeared, Yu Youxi and Yu Youxi opened their mouths, they didn't expect that the Lu Yuan they had been trying to find was this man who was wearing blue and gold armor and killing all directions.
Yu weak's eyes were even red with excitement, and she wanted to rush into Lu Yuan's arms the moment she recognized him.
But......
When she saw the pink-haired beautiful girl beside Lu Yuan, she was stunned for a moment, and her footsteps that wanted to rush forward suddenly stopped in place.
"Are you friends with Obuchi?" Ning Rongrong also showed a decent smile at this time, and said to Yu Youxi and Yu Youxi.
"By the way, I'll introduce you to it first." Lu Yuan said with a smile.
He took the lead in stretching out his hand to the Yu family sisters and said to Ning Rongrong, "These two are two of the few friends I met during my previous trip away from Heaven Dou City. β
"Young and weak."
Then Lu Yuan introduced Ning Rongrong to the Yu family sisters, "This is my fiancΓ©e Rongrong." β
"FiancΓ©e ......" Yu Youxi and Yu Youxi both looked at Ning Rongrong with complicated eyes when they heard this.
"yes, actually, I wanted to invite you to our engagement ceremony." Lu Yuan said helplessly, "But the situation was not very allowable at that time. β
The engagement ceremony between him and Ning Rongrong is really not suitable for inviting Yu Youxi and Yu Xiaoxi to come.
But he didn't know that even if it was an invitation, Yu Youxi and Yu Youxi would not come.
In fact, Yu Youxi and Yu Wanxi's idea was that they would no longer come to see Lu Yuan.
In this way, their love for this boy was hidden forever, and it became their deepest and most precious treasure.
This is good for them and for Lu Yuan.
However, when Yu Youxi heard that Lu Yuan was in danger in Zhennan Pass, she still couldn't help it.
So she called on the monks of the Dragon Sect of the Gods and asked them to come with her to guard Zhennan Pass.
The monks of the Shenlong Sect are very cohesive, and their teachings are to uphold justice, punish evil and promote good, and the three views are very upright.
Protecting the family and defending the country is also an upright thing that conforms to the three views, so more than 4,000 monks of the Shenlong Sect responded to the call of Yu Youxi and Yu Weak.
There are more than 4,000 monks who are soul masters, and it can be said that the current number of soul masters in the Divine Dragon Sect is a bit scary.
Even a wealthy soul master sect like the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect only has three thousand soul masters.
In fact, this is mainly because the cohesion of the Divine Dragon Sect is too high, and they are actually not a mature and complete soul master force.
It's just because of the forces that followed Yu Youxi and Yu Weak's low-level soul masters who cultivated asceticism, and then gathered together.
However, because the doctrine of the Shenlong Sect is to punish evil and promote good, uphold justice, and pacify injustice, and most of them are low-level soul masters, all of them are wild soul masters without family sect inheritance, so their cohesion is quite strong.
Coupled with the two Divine Dragon Venerables, Yu Youxi and Yu Weakxi, they really benefited them a lot.
That's why more than 4,000 soul masters responded to the call of Yu Youxi and Yu Youxi and came to Zhennanguan to protect their families and defend the country.
It's just that under the screening of Yu Youxi and Yu Youxi, only adult monks who are at least above the soul venerable can go to Zhennanguan with them to protect their families and defend the country.
But even so, they gathered more than 2,100 monks and followed them to Zhennan Pass.
And most of them are soul masters at the level of the Soul Sect, because of the secret method formulas and penance methods of the Divine Dragon Sect, they really highlight a way that makes people improve their strength quickly.
A few years ago, most of these soul sect-level soul masters would have thought that most of them were soul masters or great soul masters.
But after following Yu Youxi and Yu Xiaoxi's penance, most of them were promoted to the Soul Sect and even the Soul King within a few years.
However, the most powerful of the Divine Dragon Sect now are only the two Soul Emperors, Yu Youxi and Yu Xiaoxi, after all, the time of birth is too short, and higher-end combat power is not yet possible.
"Then bless you." Yu Youxi gently grabbed Yu Youxi's hand at this time, grabbed her, and smiled and blessed Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong at the same time.
Her smile was indifferent, but there was a sense of unreality.
"Thank you." Lu Yuan said with a smile, "At the same time, thank you for coming to support, by the way, how did you think of coming here to support?" β
"It's some refugees from the Duchy of Hull who have fled to us, telling us that this will be a critical situation in Zhennanguan." Yu Youxi said with a smile.
She paused, then stroked the long hair in her ears, looked at Lu Yuan and said, "We didn't expect you to be here too, we just thought about it...... After all, we are all citizens of the Heaven Dou Empire, and if the empire is in trouble, we should also come forward. β
Lu Yuan nodded and said with a smile, "That's really a coincidence...... And you guys are very right, and I appreciate your help. β
"Okay......" he looked at Zhennan Pass again, "This is not a place to catch up, let's go down first, I have to treat everyone as a thank you." β
Yu Youxi smiled and nodded, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, I thank you on behalf of everyone." β
At this time, Ning Rongrong, who was beside Lu Yuan, smiled and didn't say a word, but just looked at the two sisters, Yu Youxi and Yu Xiaoxi, unknownly.
Her beautiful eyes flickered, and there was meaning in them.
β¦β¦
It is not far from Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, and is located three hundred miles east of Heaven Dou City.
No one would have thought that Haotian Sect, which was once known as the first sect in the world, was located here, and it had become a dilapidated appearance like a small village.
Of course, this is just a scene to cover up the mountain gate.
The real mountain gate is behind the small village, and behind the village is a mountain peak.
Most of the peaks are very steep, and between the mountains, there are mountain streams.
If you want to enter the mountain, if you climb up and down, it will undoubtedly produce great consumption.
If you are to arrange defenses on every mountain, then you need to go through one moat after another.
Even if the attackers are ten times as many as the defenders, they may not be able to attack as they wish. The terrain is a little too treacherous.
And at the end of the mountain, reaching a height of 500 meters, there were already clouds and mist.
At the end of this mountain there is an iron rope as thick as an arm, which stretches into the distance, and it is not necessary to ask, it must be connected to another mountain. And the clouds are ethereal, and it is well hidden in them, and if you don't look closely, it's really hard to spot.
Although the iron rope will sway in the air, as long as you have a certain strength and can stabilize your body, you will naturally be able to walk through.
This can be easily done by a level 30 soul master.
However, if the enemy is attacking, then it is completely possible to retreat from the iron cable to the second mountain when the first pass cannot resist the enemy, and then cut the iron lock, so that not only has time to buffer, but also can continue to use the second mountain as a barrier to resist the incoming enemy.
This design is not without ingenuity.
"Is this where Haotian Sect is hiding?" The muscles in the corners of Avalanche's eyes twitched, then he looked at the deep stream in front of him, took a deep breath and said.
"Exactly." A black-clothed man at the head said lightly, "This is exactly the heavenly moat set up by my Haotian Sect, if someone launches an attack on the top of the mountain, then even a strong person of level sixty or seventy may not be able to go up the mountain as he wishes!" β
There was a hint of pride in the words.
But it can't help but make people a little funny, wasn't Haotian Sect forced to retreat to the mainland by the Wuhun Palace?
There's nothing to be proud of.
"Alright, take me to your sect master." Avalanche said dissatisfied.
"Wait." The man in black shook his head and said,
The man in black did not rush forward, but stopped first, took out a rope from his arms, tied one side to his waist, and the other side was tied to the iron rope in front of him, and the other two men in gray were also doing the same.
"Here you go." The leader of the gray-clothed man threw an identical rope to Avalanche and a Soul Emperor powerhouse beside him.
Then the four of them walked up the tightrope.
Soon, there were no dangers, and they reached the final fifth peak.
This fifth mountain peak is also the last mountain peak to enter the Haotian Sect.
The Haotian Sect, which lives in seclusion, is on this peak.
Although there are no pavilions, it is also a castle-like building with gray colors, which looks like a part of the mountain, and occupies almost the entire top of the mountain.
The huge stone building is like a fortress, the main gate is as high as five meters, although it can not be compared with the Pope's Palace, but this kind of all-stone building is extraordinarily solid, above the main entrance, the three big characters carved in the stone are vigorous and powerful, and it is enough to confront the surrounding mountains with a magnificent majesty - Haotian Sect.
