Ning Rongrong smiled slightly and said, "Even if you are friends, your help three times and twice is a great kindness to me and Xiao Yuan."

"Such a favor, just this glass of toast to the two of you is not enough to thank the two." She said, "When this war is over, I will repay it with a big gift."

Yu Youxi and Yu Youxi were a little flustered, and they didn't know how to shirk what Ning Rongrong said.

"Young and weak, you can't repay your life-saving grace this time, so I can only give you some mundane things as a reward afterwards." Lu Yuan also said with a smile.

However, his eyes were indeed full of seriousness, and he really wanted to give some material rewards, to the two friends Yu Youxi and Yu Wanxi.

"But...... Eh, the current situation is still very unoptimistic for us......" Sen Luohou on the side said with some sadness.

After hearing this, Yu said with some concern, "Speaking of which, this time the Star Luo Empire is attacking, isn't it possible that our Heaven Dou Empire will not have support?"

Lu Yuan shook his head, "You may not know that not long ago, our Heaven Dou City was attacked by a beast tide, and it cost nearly 300,000 elite troops to defend Heaven Dou City."

"In addition, the remaining army has just gone through the Great War and is exhausted, so now the empire needs to herdsify the armies of the major provinces, kingdoms, and principalities, so that it has the strength to resist the Star Luo Empire."

"Is the beast tide attacking?" Yu Youxi thought thoughtfully, "It's the soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest two months ago that suddenly ***, right?"

"It seems that Soto City was also attacked by the soul beast tide of the nearby Star Dou Great Forest at that time." Lu Yuan said.

"Well, exactly, at that time, soul beasts inexplicably appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest***, and all the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest seemed to be united, attacking the humans close to the Star Dou Great Forest indiscriminately." Yu said weakly.

"Later, those soul beasts even took the initiative to rush out of the Star Dou Great Forest and attack the humans outside Soto City." Yu Youxi said, "At that time, we organized the monks of the sect to help the people on the outskirts of the city to withdraw to Soto City, and we also fought with those crazy soul ***."

"Is that a beast tide?"

"Well, at that time, the 100,000-year-old soul beast supreme in the Star Dou Great Forest ordered all the soul beasts to launch a beast tide, and the main army was even directed at Heaven Dou City." Lu Yuan said, "Therefore, the main army of the empire has indeed suffered serious losses, and it is necessary to give the empire time to recruit enough troops to fight to the death with the Star Luo Empire."

"How long will that take?" Yu Youxi took a deep breath and asked.

"Two months." Lu Yuan said, "However, Zhennan Pass only needs to be defended for a month, as long as it is held for a month, we will evacuate the Duchy of Hull and Zhennan Pass, clear the field and fortify the wall, after the other party occupies Zhennan Pass and the Duchy of Hull, we must stretch the battle line, and at the same time pull the supply line over."

"All of this will take time, and in the following time, the four kingdoms will also retreat to Jialing Pass, exchanging space for time, plus I will lead troops to cut off the other party's lengthy supply line when the time comes, so that the Star Luo Empire will definitely be defeated!"

Lu Yuan's eyes were full of confidence, this was his strategy, very bold.

Because his plan was to give up the vast territory of the Heaven Dou Empire's affiliated kingdoms and principalities in exchange for a glimmer of life.

If this plan fails, the kingdoms and principalities of the Heaven Dou Empire will be occupied by the Star Luo Empire.

But there is no way, the Heaven Dou Empire really has no other way, if it is not so massive, but directly driven into by the Star Luo Empire, and destroys the major kingdoms and principalities one by one, the Heaven Dou Empire's Zhili region will not be able to hold it.

This is equivalent to the five fingers of the Heaven Dou Empire, one by one in order to face the fists of the Star Luo Empire, the fingers will definitely not be able to beat the fists, and only one finger will be broken.

And Lu Yuan's plan was to retract his fingers and give up what each of their fingers was holding, so as to condense into a fist and collide with the fist swung by the Star Luo Empire.

"A month?" A hint of determination flashed in Yu Youxi's eyes.

No matter what, she will help Lu Yuan keep this

months.

"It's not a big problem, it's been twenty-five days now, and there are still five days to go, and if we withdraw the people of the remaining Duchy of Hull into the Barak Kingdom, we can evacuate Zhennan Pass." Lu Yuan took a deep breath and said.

But in the next five days, it is not so simple to use the remaining tens of thousands of troops to defend the attack of the Star Luo Empire.

"Let's eat first, people are iron and steel, no matter what, can you not eat?" Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Sen Luohou laughed and said, "Then the two young ladies will eat first, and the old man is not welcome."

Yu Youxi and Yu Youxi nodded, and said with a smile, "Then we're welcome."

Suddenly, the five people present feasted.

Not only them, but in Zhennan Pass, countless soldiers who escaped death and the monks of the Shenlong Sect who came from reinforcements all feasted in front of them and feasted on them.

After all, if there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, it is not certain whether you will be able to see the sun tomorrow.

There was nothing to say all night, but the soldiers of Zhennanguan rarely had a good rest.

Because the monks of the Divine Dragon Sect arrived and replaced them on duty on the city walls.

They are all soul masters, and their mental state is not affected by sleep.

Therefore, Yu Youxi and Yu Xiaoxi took the initiative to let the monks of the Shenlong Sect replace these tired soldiers to go to the city wall to keep vigil.

Lu Yuan specially allowed all the soldiers to go down to the city wall to find a comfortable residence and rest for a night.

In the evening, the soldiers of Zhennanguan, whose spirits have been intense and tense for the past few days, entered a wonderful dreamland.

In the dreamland, there are no longer two major empires on the Douluo Continent, and there are no more wars, and everyone lives together peacefully.

……

Star Luo Empire.

"Reinforcements have arrived, haven't they?" Dai Qingxiao said expressionlessly.

By this time, he had begun to wonder if it was worth it for him to waste so much time and so many troops in attacking Zhennan Pass.

If it is defeated, it will be okay to attack the next Zhennan Pass, and you can also capture a Lu Yuan, a future heir of the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect, and a marquis of the Heaven Dou Empire.

But the key is that it has not been attacked yet, and so many troops and time have been lost in vain.

The main thing is that 500,000 elite troops have been sacrificed before!

The 500,000 elite army, thinking about Dai Qingxiao, feels distressed.

"Yes, the other party should have sent reinforcements now, that is, ......" Wang Qianjian, as the siege commander, was also a little heavy in his heart at the moment, and said, "According to the news of the front-line soldiers and scouts, there are two thousand soul masters, but their martial souls are different."

"I can't tell which force they're from."

"Two thousand soul masters......" Dai Qingxiao said in a deep voice, "Is it possible that they came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect."

It is impossible for the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect to make a move in the war between the two empires, and among the top three sects, only the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect is loyal to the Heaven Dou Empire and intervenes in the war between the two empires.

And only they can send two thousand soul masters, and the most important thing is that it is well known that the main combat power of the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect comes from their outer sect, and their outer disciple martial souls are not unified.

"But...... The front line has not seen the appearance of a large number of Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda soul masters." Wang Qianjian frowned and said.

The outer disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect are basically not unified in their martial souls, but their inner disciples are all martial souls of the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda.

And it makes no sense for the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect to send reinforcements to the disciples, only sending outer disciples, not inner disciples.

With the reinforcement of the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Soul Masters, these two thousand soul masters can exert the combat power of four thousand soul masters or even more.

This is the metamorphosis of the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda as the first auxiliary martial soul in the mainland.

So it doesn't make sense.

"Damn......" Dai Qingxiao took a deep breath and clenched his fist.

Empress Zhu Lanxi

Hold his fist and keep comforting him with his jade hand, "Your Majesty......"

"This small Zhennan Pass only has less than 300,000 defenders, and it has been able to hold off the million soldiers of my Star Luo Empire for almost a month!" Dai Qingxiao's face was a little calmer, but he still said coldly.

"Now that the other party's support has arrived, is it ...... for us" Wang Qianjian retreated at this time and said hesitantly.

But......

"Their support is only those 2,000 soul masters, right?" Dai Qingxiao said coldly.

Wang Qianjian was stunned for a moment, "...... It seems to be, but I'm not sure they'll ...... follow-up."

"I don't believe they can gather reinforcements so quickly!" Dai Qingxiao said angrily, "I don't believe that with these two thousand soul masters, we can stop our million soldiers!"

"We have already paid a lot of price for the defeat of Zhennan Pass, if we go back empty-handed......" He gritted his teeth, his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, and said, "No, I will never agree!"

Dai Qingxiao is like a shareholder now, because there is too much principal invested in it, and he has not gained it yet, so he is unwilling to give it up.

So he must persevere, at least get back the lost principal.

At least...... At least attack Zhennan Pass, and either capture or kill Lu Yuan, Ning Rongrong and Sen Luohou!

"But Your Majesty ......," Wang Qianjian just wanted to say.

The mad lion general Wren on the side said in a deep voice, "The empire has already made too many sacrifices in Zhennan Pass, Your Majesty is right, you really can't go back empty-handed!"

Wang Qianjian looked at Wren in disbelief.

Wren's gaze, however, was unwavering.

Suddenly, Wang Qianjian understood.

This is where Wren's style as a mad lion general lies, he has always been bold and reckless, and when risks and gains coexist, he always chooses to turn a blind eye to risks.

However, in his military career for the past sixty years, he has been fortunate not to miss a single shot.

Once he misses, Wren will not be standing here, with the title of Mad Lion General.

At this time, Wang Qianjian suddenly missed Gao Zhong a little, if Gao Zhong was here, with his steady character, he would also persuade His Majesty.

And Gao Zhong is gone, and he can't be persuaded in the face of Rennes and His Majesty's radical ideas.

"Your Majesty, our morale is not good now, after all, the siege of the city for five consecutive days is also a huge drain on our army." Wang Qianjian took a deep breath and finally said, "The equipment is almost exhausted, I hope that even if Your Majesty wants to continue attacking Zhennan Pass, it is best to let the soldiers of the army rest for some time......

"In that case...... Dai Qingxiao waved his hand, "The army will rest for three days, the baggage and equipment troops will rest for one day, and on the second day, we will start to hurry up and make siege equipment!" 200,000 arrows lost, 300 siege vehicles, and 1,000 siege vehicles must be done within two days! Make no mistake! Those who neglect the military aircraft will be decided!"

"By Your Majesty's will!"

……

There was no word all night, and early the next morning, Avalanche was worshiped by the Soul Emperor and walked out of the room.

Soon, they were taken to breakfast.

Then Tang Long took them straight to the front yard of Haotian Sect.

The front yard of Haotian Sect.

It was completely different from the cleanliness when the avalanche came yesterday, and at this time, there were at least one hundred and fifty people concentrated in the courtyard.

Most of the people stood around, in the middle of the courtyard, where Sect Master Tang Xiao and four gray-haired old men were standing.

The four old men looked to be at least eighty years old, but they were all in good spirits and full of red light.

Among them, the first old man was talking to Tang Xiao with a serious expression.

It was the only four remaining elders of Haotian Sect, the Great Elder and the Third Elder who were killed in the battle with the Martial Spirit Hall eighteen years ago, and the Sixth Elder was even more bitten to death by Bone Douluo's ossified divine dragon on the spot because Tang Hao went to Sivel City to rescue Tang San.

Tang Long said in a low voice, "Except for the people who are purchasing and doing errands outside, the direct descendants of the sect are basically here

Here it is. The four in the center are the four elders of the sect. Even the sect master wants to give them a few points. In terms of seniority, they are all uncles of the suzerain."

Avalanche was a little surprised and glanced at Tang Long.

However, Tang Long nodded at him, obviously he was in favor of Avalanche.

It's just that to Avalanche's surprise, Tang Long dared to talk to him so blatantly in front of the four elders.

Accompanied by Tang Long, Avalanche and the Soul Emperor bodyguards beside him came to the courtyard, and as soon as he appeared, he immediately became the focus of attention.

At this time, it is the middle of the day, and the summit is undoubtedly cold when there is no sunlight, but it is also closer to the sun, and when the sun is full, the temperature is much higher than on the flat ground.

The scorching sun shines on the skin, and even sunburn can occur.

The four elders' gazes turned to the avalanche.

At this moment, the avalanche felt that the gaze of the four Haotian Sect elders was hotter than the scorching sun.

But the next moment, the old man who was talking to Tang Xiao just now said in a surging voice, "The old man has seen His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

"The seniors are serious, it's the younger generations who should have seen the elders and seniors." Avalanche didn't dare to hold it up, so he quickly gritted his teeth and bent down in salute and said.
