Chapter 208: The Great Gift丨 Letter
"Lu Yuan is missing again?" Wang Qianjian went up to the city wall of Zhennan Pass, and found that there was really no one there, so he immediately frowned.
"General, we really can't find an enemy soldier, even ......" A general came to Wang Qianjian and said with his fists clenched,
"Except for Zhennanguan itself, there is no trace of anyone!" The mad lion general Wren also jumped up, he came to Wang Qianjian and asked,
"How's it going?"
"There are indeed no Zhennanguan garrisons on the city wall now, and even the traces of their existence seem to have been completely erased." Wang Qianjian said.
"Did you really abandon the gate and run away?" Wren couldn't help but believe Lu Yuan's previous statement at this time.
"You can't run away that fast, can you? Even if Lu Yuan is a top powerhouse and the speed of evacuation is very fast, what about those Zhennanguan soldiers? Wang Qianjian asked rhetorically,
"Most of them are ordinary people, even if they abandon the gate and run away, how far can they escape in a day and a night?"
"Instead, they rely on Zhennanguan to survive, how can they escape." This was exactly what Wang Qianjian suspected, but he didn't expect that Lu Yuan's Fifth Soul Technique Source Number Control could create a stable spatial shuttle tunnel with a large range of long-distance teleportation space.
"My opinion, they are still hiding in this town Nanguan, because they know that their troops are insufficient to withstand our attack head-on, even if Lu Yuan is one enemy on the battlefield, but he can't stop all our troops at the same time." Wang Qianjian said,
"That's why I came up with this idea, and decided to ambush us in Zhennan Pass, wanting to put us to death and survive!"
"It does make sense, but in any case, they avoid it head-on and don't fight, which means that they have a weak heart." Wren's eyes were like torches, and he said word by word.
"That's right, and by doing so, they give us a slight advantage." Wang Qianjian nodded and said,
"Seize this hard-won mistake of the other party, and we may be able to occupy this Zhennan Pass!"
"Then let the strong lead the team, let's go down and explore the way first." Wren said,
"After all, it's not getting early." Seeing the scenery of the sunset gradually appearing in the sky, Wang Qianjian frowned and said to the direct general beside him,
"It's getting late at night, be even more careful, according to the original plan, send soldiers to follow me down to the south of the town, carefully investigate the situation, pay attention! Watch out for enemy ambushes! ”
"Yes!" The general glanced at the ten teams of 100 elite soldiers behind him, and immediately the elite soldiers, who had a total of 1,000 people, followed.
"You guys!" Wren suddenly looked at his direct army, the Wild Lion Rider, and said,
"Send a thousand people too, follow me down first to see the situation in Zhennan Pass!" They are all Contra powerhouses, and even if they encounter an ambush, they can deal with it, so it is only fitting for them to go down and investigate the situation first.
"Others, stay here, blow the horn if anything happens!" Wang Qianjian ordered to the rest of the Star Luo Empire's army.
"Yes! Checkmate! Several generals responded with clenched fists. Then the two armies of 1,000 people followed the two peerless generals of the Star Luo Empire in an orderly manner, got off the city wall, and walked into the main body of Zhennan Pass.
They divided into two routes, looking around for possible traces, and they walked into the school field and military camp in Zhennanguan, and found that there was really nothing here.
Not to mention the human figure, even the traces of human life here have not left a trace. For example, in the school yard where the army is assembled and trained, there should be weapons that represent majesty, or some stone sculptures that decorate the school grounds.
But there is nothing here, let alone these things, even the school yard is empty, and there are no wooden doors or iron gates at all.
However, in the face of those houses in the school field, Wang Qianjian and Ren were extremely careful,
"Watch out for these places in case the enemy raids!"
"Yes!" All the soldiers were unusually cautious, and even avoided the houses. Wren looked at the huge building in front of him and said coldly,
"If there is an ambush, it will be here! I'm going to go in and find out! Even if it's a Title Douluo, I can't help it here, let alone a little sneak attack! But having said that, he still summoned the martial spirit possession, and suddenly a layer of intense golden light suddenly burst out from his body, his arms stretched out to both sides at the same time, his chest stood up, the bones of his whole body crackled, his muscles suddenly expanded, and even the armor on his body was propped up.
His hands also turned into lion-like claws, each claw was like a blade, eight inches long, and shimmered with a cold light.
The next moment, Wren used his soul power with the sharp claws of both hands, and slashed out a double energy slash, breaking the building in front of him, and he rushed directly into it.
The moment he rushed in, he was full of vigilance. However...... When Wren barged in, nothing happened.
Not only Wren's side, but Wang Qianjian's side had already explored various corners where it was possible to hide and ambush, but they were not attacked.
"Did they really leave?" Wang Qianjian muttered to himself and said. At this moment, a squad leader quickly came to him and said,
"Report ——! Checkmate! The granary and armory suspected of storing baggage and weapons in Zhennanguan were found ahead! ”
"Granaries and armories?" Wang Qianjian immediately paid attention to it, after all, food and baggage can be said to be the most important materials for marching and fighting.
Without enough food and baggage, even if you have an army of millions, you will be defeated. So food and baggage are the top priority!
Countless classic battles in which less wins more are all due to the rout of the front army because the supply of food and baggage was cut off.
But...... Although it is a granary and an armory, it is likely to be the place where a large number of enemy ambushes are located.
So Wang Qianjian suddenly became cautious. He was not as arrogant as Ren, after all, Lu Yuan and Sen Luohou were nowhere to be found.
Lu Yuan's terrifying strength couldn't even deal with the Netherworld White Tiger combined by Dai Qingxiao and Zhu Lanxi, let alone him.
"Immediately send the Tiger Roaring Army down and guard these two places with heavy troops!" Wang Qianjian looked at the direct general and said solemnly,
"Remember, it's the Tiger Roaring Army!"
"Yes!" The direct general immediately turned back to the city walls and brought the more elite Tiger Roar here.
Wang Qianjian looked at the huge building in front of him, which was in the obvious style of a standard granary, and there was a plaque hanging in front of its gate, which read
The word "granary". Under Wang Qianjian's order, the Tiger Roar army divided into two routes, and surrounded the granary here and the armory on the other side, and also held their weapons high, vigilantly watching the granary and armory, to prevent an ambush inside from suddenly attacking them.
"Open the door." Wang Qianjian ordered to the ten forwards in front of him.
"Yes!" Suddenly, these ten forwards were armed with standard spears and directly pierced the wooden granary door.
The granary door opened instantly, however...... To their surprise, the granary was empty, and not a single grain of rice was here.
There is not even fine sand and camphor wood to prevent the grain from getting wet and deteriorating, and there is not a grain of grain in the granary.
The same is true of the armory on the other side, not to mention the standard weapons in it, and there is not even a weapon rack for placing weapons.
The most important thing is...... Wang Qianjian looked at the traces of burning on the ground inside with an ugly face, the reason why this granary is so empty is because when Zhennan Pass abandoned the pass and fled, all the materials that could not be taken away in Zhennan Pass were burned?
The same seems to be true of the armory on the other side...... However, Wang Qianjian and the others were still relieved, because there was nothing, and the empty granary and armory meant that there was nothing to hide.
"It seems that they really abandoned the gate and fled!" Wang Qianjian's eyes flashed a hint of fierceness, and he snorted coldly,
"But even if you run, how far can you run!" Tens of thousands of troops, even if there are tens of thousands of horses in Zhennan Pass, how many of those horses are sweaty horses?
And the army of the Star Luo Empire, whether it is Rennes's direct army Crazy Lion Rider or the second Blood Wolf Rider, the mounted mounted is an elite BMW with the blood of soul beasts!
Can you run again, can you outrun them?
"Let's search the city again, and let the army come down." Wang Qianjian suddenly relaxed his vigilance and ordered casually.
And yet, suddenly, on the other side of the army,
"Boom ——!" A huge explosion hit in an instant, and then it was visible to the naked eye, and thick black smoke rose from the direction of the armory on the other side.
A feeling like an earthquake struck, and even on Wang Qianjian's side, many ordinary soldiers were shocked and their eardrums ruptured and bleeding.
"Is there still an ambush?!" Wang Qianjian was not affected in any way as a Contra powerhouse, after all, Contra's physical fitness was here.
And the power of this explosion did not reach the level of the strongest blow at the Contra level, at most...... The strongest blow that a soul saint powerhouse burst out.
"Enemy-Attack-Enemy-Attack——!" But he still ordered loudly with great seriousness,
"Prepare for ......!" However, at this moment, right behind him, without warning, a huge light spread out...... The sound of a huge explosion spread again, blasting the granary and the surrounding Star Luo Empire soldiers into the sky.
A few seconds later, Wang Qianjian, who was not injured but was blown to ashes, walked out of the thick smoke,
"Ahem...... This is...... What? ”…… The other side. Lu Yuan, who came to the capital of Barak and settled down, looked in the direction of Zhennan Pass, but he definitely couldn't see the smoke lingering in the sky from the gunpowder explosion in Zhennan Pass.
After all, there is still a Duchy of Hull between the Barak Kingdom and Zhennanguan, and when they are hundreds of miles apart, even if Lu Yuan has a third brother and the same Purple Pole Demon Boy, he can't see the scene there.
Lu Yuan said with a smile,
"Calculate the time...... I don't know if I received this great gift from the Star Luo Empire? ”
"Anyway...... Is gunpowder really so powerful? Ning Rongrong said curiously.
"It's ordinary, it's ordinary black powder after all." Lu Yuan shook his head. He is not as powerful as the third brother, and he knows by heart the gunpowder formula of the so-called top secret weapon of the Tang Sect - Buddha Anger Tang Lian, at most, he has seen too much in his previous life, and has memorized the formula formula of gunpowder: one sulfur, two nitrate, and three charcoal.
Sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal, mixed in equal proportions, make the simplest black powder.
And sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal are very easy to obtain in this world, after all, there is a soul master, and the most difficult sulfur to obtain is just something that a fire attribute soul master can easily take in the volcano.
The power of black powder is limited, but even black powder, as long as the amount is enough, it can explode with huge power.
Lu Yuan asked the Barak Kingdom to prepare 10,000 catties of black powder, and distributed and made two traps to the underground of the granary and armory of Zhennan Pass, as long as they stepped into these two places, they would trigger the fire tongue to ignite the black powder of 5,000 catties under their feet.
The explosion of 10,000 catties of black powder, even if the explosion power of black powder itself is not particularly large, it is enough to blow up a small mountain.
In the Douluo World, it is probably equivalent to the strongest 10,000-year range soul skill of the Soul Saint, and the effect that can be caused.
That is, under the most ideal circumstances, it is no problem to kill and injure nearly 10,000 ordinary people.
"Black Powder...... I've never heard of this before. Ning Rongrong said,
"And it doesn't take any difficulty to burst out with great power...... What a ......."
"That's not that much power...... Lu Yuan said with a smile,
"Rongrong, you haven't seen it, a weapon that can destroy a city with a single blow and turn all life within a radius of a hundred miles into powder......"
"This ...... It's impossible for even Title Douluo to do this, right?! Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes shook and said incredulously.
"That's right......" Lu Yuan scratched his head, the Title Douluo Continent's Title Douluo Strike was indeed difficult to achieve the destructive power of a nuclear weapon.
Even a hundred-level god may not be able to reach the terrifying destructive power of nuclear weapons in his previous life, but it is possible to reach this level if he continues to become stronger in the future, like being promoted to the true god level or super god level.
But Lu Yuan is not among them, just think about it, he can now annihilate tens of thousands of troops with one blow just at the Contra level, and when he is promoted to Title Douluo, maybe this is not enough.
But what about after reaching Peak Douluo? Or even reach the peerless Douluo level? It can only be said that the high-level power of Ao Neng is too crushing in the Douluo World...... And that's when ......
"Goo-goo-goo-" A domesticated half-soul beast carrier pigeon landed in front of the window where Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong's room were.
"It's ...... A sunny carrier pigeon? Ning Rongrong said curiously. Lu Yuan waved his hand and took a picture of the carrier pigeon, he naturally recognized this carrier pigeon.
This is the half-soul beast bloodline carrier pigeon that he cultivated in the three years he was in Heavenly Shadow City in order to deliver the news.
Although it is a little backward, there is really nothing to do but convey information in this way. Ning Rongrong also recognized that this was a carrier pigeon passed by Lu Yuan's sister Lu Qingqing.
Lu Yuan casually took down the letter on the carrier pigeon's feet, spread it out and looked at it for a moment, and then his face changed drastically.
