Douluo calendar 2***9 years, August.

In the past few years, the situation on the Douluo Continent has changed, and the originally peaceful situation has changed drastically, first the Star Dou Great Forest Soul Beast***, and then the Martial Spirit Palace, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Star Luo Empire In the tripartite talks, the Martial Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire broke up, not only withdrawing the important Martial Spirit Hall of the Heaven Dou Empire, but also declaring that they would no longer intervene in the affairs between the two empires.

Then, in this year, not only did the Great War between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Soul Beasts break out, but then the Star Luo Empire also mobilized a million troops to take the border of the Heaven Dou Empire.

In such a situation, even the continent-wide soul master high-level competition, which was supposed to be held once every five years, was not held.

Lu Po stroked the black giant scythe in front of his knees, his shadow-like soul power swirled like ink, his sideburns were soaked with sweat, and the crystal sweat fluctuated like his soul power.

He looked at the sun slowly rising in the distance, the dawn was over, and an even more blazing sun was coming.

He never thought in his life that he would be able to become a soul master one day, and he followed Lu Yuan to become a general who went into battle to kill the enemy.

It's just that as Lu Yuan said in front of them at the beginning, there is a price to become a soul master, and the biggest price that can be paid is to sacrifice one's own life.

Of the 185 clansmen who joined the Shadow Army, only one hundred and thirty-nine are still in the Shadow Army, and not all of the 46 clansmen who left the Shadow Army died on the battlefield.

Only thirty-two clansmen died one after another in the battle of Zhennanguan and the impact of the soul beast tide, and the other fourteen clansmen were unable to continue to go to the battlefield because of serious injuries such as amputated limbs, and finally chose to return to Heavenly Shadow City, and like Su Yuntao, they were responsible for raising and teaching the descendants of the Lu family.

But even so, the cruelty on the battlefield still made Lu Po and the others deeply aware of how much it cost to become this soul master.

If you are not careful, the lights will go out, and everything in the world will have nothing to do with them.

And it was precisely because they realized this cruel price that Lu Po and the rest of the Shadow Stream pro-army would train hard during this time.

Even if the war with the soul beast had just ended, none of the remaining one hundred and thirty-nine members of the Shadow Flow Army had slackened down, and like several other armies, they had instead rested in place after the battle.

Because they knew that in two months there would be an even more brutal war waiting for them—an all-out battle between the two empires.

Therefore, within a month of the Shadow Flow Army, many people continue to cultivate and train, to improve their strength as much as possible, they want to live!

Live in this next brutal war!

Lu Po is not surprised, but he not only wants to live, he also wants to become famous, just like Hou Ye, to become a peerless general in the famous continent!

Maybe even Lu Yuan himself didn't know that his prestige had now spread to the entire Douluo Continent, and his name in the Star Luo Empire was even used by adults to scare children.

To put it simply, his name can stop the children of the Star Luo Empire.

Lu Yuan's name in the Star Luo Empire is simply the incarnation of the killing god and the demon king, and it is rumored that he likes to kill people for fun, is cruel and irritable, and has to take the hearts and livers of children as snacks every day.

Of course, in the Heaven Dou Empire, Lu Yuan is a real young hero, talented, intelligent, brave and righteous, he became famous at a young age, and he had to protect his family and country at the cost of his life, and he even broke the 400,000 army of the Star Luo Empire with less than 200,000 troops, and at the same time personally killed the famous overlord general of the Star Luo Empire.

In this era when there is no way to entertain, these stories can be told at people's dinner tables for a long time.

Therefore, now Lu Yuan's reputation is known and known to everyone in the entire continent, and his prestige in the Heaven Dou Empire can be called even more prestigious, and countless young people in the Heaven Dou Empire are working hard with him as their idol.

Lu Po is also one of them, and no one admires his own Hou Ye more than him, he is even willing to become a shadow who follows Lu Yuan, not seeking to be famous in the entire continent like Lu Yuan, but also to become a general who can be called by Lu Yuan's name in the future!

With such ambition in mind, he bit again

Fang, clenching the Shadow Scythe in his hand, got up again......

And that's when ......

"Looks like you're resting well." A rather familiar voice from Lu Po made him turn around with some surprise.

"Master Hou!" Lu Po looked at Lu Yuan's figure, and suddenly looked surprised, and said, "You have returned from the front line."

Lu Yuan didn't bring Ning Rongrong with him this time, because Ning Rongrong had other important things to do - to assemble baggage for the Celestial Shadow Army.

Don't get me wrong, although Lu Yuan is in charge of the next guerrilla strategy and the operation to cut off the supply line of the Star Luo Empire this time, the grain and grass and baggage are not the stinginess of the Snowy Night Emperor, let Lu Yuan prepare by himself.

After being rescued by Dugu Bo, the Snow Night Emperor immediately ordered Qian Lingxue to distribute grain, grass and baggage from the imperial granary to Lu Yuan at the standard of 30,000 troops, including 5,000 war horses, fighting continuously for a month.

This standard can be said to be beyond the standard, after all, Lu Yuan only brought 5,000 Royal Knights and 10,000 Heavenly Shadow Army in this operation, while the Snow Night Emperor was issued with the standard of 30,000 troops fighting continuously for a month.

However, Ning Rongrong felt that it was not enough, the Heavenly Shadow Army, as Lu Yuan's direct army, coupled with the fact that there were not many people in the first place, coupled with the two major wars, it was reduced to the scale of only 25,000 soldiers left.

So she wanted to bring more sophisticated weapons and supplies to the Celestial Shadow Army, anyway, she now had three soul guides that could store two hundred cubic meters of materials - this was made by Lu Yuan with three one-cubic-meter storage soul guides within two days of returning to Heaven Dou City.

These three soul guides are two sachets and a ring, all of which can be regarded as casual carrying

Not only these three soul guides, but Lu Yuan also increased the storage space for Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo's soul guides, and ......

"Just returned from the front." Lu Yuan nodded at Lu Po, "It's that you guys have had a good rest this month."

"We're rested." Lu Po showed a serious face and said, "You can follow Master Hou to the battlefield at any time!" The people are looking forward to going to war again!"

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, Lu Po's appearance of eagerness to go to the battlefield made him a little unexpected.

After all, they have seen the cruelty of the battlefield, and even many clansmen have died in the war, shouldn't they be afraid and sad about the death of rabbits and foxes?

However, he wouldn't ask any more, after all, this was what Lu Yuan had agreed with them before.

It's just that they don't want to, they accept Lu Yuan's previous conditions and become soldiers, so they have to take on the responsibility of being a soldier and go into battle to kill the enemy, as for any cowardice and cowardice, they shouldn't have it.

"That's good." Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "Now is the time when the army needs to go to the battlefield again, but this battle may be different from the past......

"It's different......" Lu Po was stunned for a moment.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, "I'll tell you after this matter, the most important thing now is to gather the army, and at noon today, gather 10,000 Heavenly Shadow Army to gather in the hunting ground of the Royal Knights!"

"Yes! Master Hou!" Lu Po immediately responded.

"By the way, and here's for you." Lu Yuan smiled slightly, then waved his left hand, and suddenly a shadow quickly rushed straight towards Lu Po.

Lu Po's eyes were quick, and he directly reached out and firmly grabbed the shadow that flew over, and then he spread out his hand and found that it was a token.

This token jade, the whole body presents the color of blood red and dark blue, these two colors seem to be alive in the jade token entwined and hovering, in addition to the reverse is a blue, purple and gold three-color gorgeous magic sickle, and the front is a vigorous and powerful big character - shadow.

"This token is a soul guide, I actually wanted to make a ring, but I really can't get that one." Lu Yuan shrugged, "In addition to the identity of your Shadow Army, this token also contains a hundred cubic meters of storage space, but it can't store living things."

This is Lu Yuan's brand-new attempt, unlike the previous one, which only expanded the capacity of the stored soul guide on the basis of the original soul guide, this is a new soul guide that he directly created with a piece of high-grade jade.

It was only because it was completely shaped by Lu Yuan's soul power, so this soul guide was infused with the two powers contained in the Death Star Demon Scythe - the power of the Death Star and the power of shadows, which made it appear blood-red, dark and blue.

In addition, it was his own idea to engrave his Death Star Scythe and the shadow representing the Shadow Flow on the front and back of the token.

And, perhaps because the token is infused with a trace of the power of the Death Star, this token seems to also have the ability to attract life energy, but the energy it can condense into is not an arcane energy in the end, but the most basic soul power in this world.

But even so, the soul master who carries this token can have the ability to speed up his own cultivation.

This was an unexpected joy, Lu Yuan didn't expect this token to have this effect when he first made it.

It's a pity that he doesn't have much time, otherwise he would have liked to make a token like this for everyone in his pro-military shadow stream now to speed up their soul power cultivation.

Lu Po didn't know that it had this extra effect, but even a soul guide with a hundred cubic meters of storage space surprised him.

He immediately bowed his hand to Lu Yuan and said, "Thank you, Master Hou! I will not disappoint Hou Ye's expectations, and I will be loyal to Hou Ye in this life, and kill the enemy with my life!"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, "Don't be so polite, I will prepare this kind of token for everyone in the clan in the future, and you are just using it slightly earlier than the other clansmen at this time."

"But don't worry, when that time comes, this soul guide token of yours will be replaced with a better one." He was afraid that Lu Po would be psychologically unbalanced, so he added.

In fact, he had this idea for a long time, and in the future, not to mention that he sought to usurp the throne and become the supreme of the mainland, even if he was content with his duty, the Lu family would grow stronger and stronger in the future.

At that time, it will definitely be divided into direct lineage, collateral lineage, descendant lineage, and family inheritance, and the clansmen with strong talents and ordinary talents will definitely be different in terms of resources and status, at this time, it is necessary to use tokens to distinguish identities and divide levels like the Wuhun Palace.

It's not that Lu Yuan is unfair, but the world is like this, just like that sentence, although he hopes that this world is fair and free, but the facts tell him that this world is unfair and unfree.

In the end, people will have a hierarchy, but Lu Yuan hopes that this level is not based on family background and bloodline, but on ability.

This is true even if it is his heir in the future, and the son who is not capable can have a status far superior to others because he is his heir.

At that time, the token will be a symbol of the ability to divide the Lu Yuan clan.

But Lu Po didn't have any unusual thoughts, he still said, "This is a reward from the Hou Ye, and Po doesn't dare to have any dissatisfaction."

He knew very well that everything he was currently giving was given by Lu Yuan, so how could he have any dissatisfaction?

"Okay." Lu Yuan didn't care either, although he was very optimistic about Lu Po.

After he asked Lu Po to gather a large army, he turned around and left directly.

Lu Po, on the other hand, rested for a while, then went back to his room, put on his armor, took the token and went to the Celestial Shadow Army garrison.

……

The time of noon was fast approaching.

The Royal Hunting Ground is located fifty kilometers southwest of Heaven Dou City.

The terrain in the hunting grounds is varied and the area is vast. It was a place where royalty hunted and trained.

The Royal Knights of the Heaven Dou Empire were all dressed in bright silver bright light armor.

This kind of thick plate armor has an extremely strong defense, and even their mounts are carefully selected, with a certain amount of soul beast blood, this kind of horse itself has no attack ability.

But its speed, its heavy loads, and its exceptional endurance made it the best choice for cavalry.

The horse was also covered with armor, and the weight of the knight and the bright light armor did not affect the speed of this horse in the slightest.

Although it experienced a major battle, the Royal Knights also lost a lot, a full division of 5,000 elites were killed, and several other divisions suffered heavy casualties.

But even so, the Royal Knights maintained their daily training,

And at this time around

Outside the hunting ground, two figures slowly came to the outside of the hunting ground.

"Who?" A five-member team of the Royal Knights on patrol immediately quickly rode to the gate of the hunting ground, and the captain of the team shouted before he arrived.

After all, on weekdays, no civilians are allowed to approach, and the 10,000 men of the Royal Knights are responsible for patrolling, guarding, and training here.

However, as soon as they came to the front of the two figures, the Wu Commander led by them immediately turned over and dismounted, kneeling down on one knee.

Before several of his colleagues could react, he fell to one knee on the ground.

"See Celestial Shadow Shogun!" Wu Chang said directly and respectfully, "I don't know the general's current situation, he is not welcome, and he is guilty of despicability!"

The people who came were Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong, Lu Yuan smiled slightly, "It's okay, you are not guilty, by the way, which division are you."

"The junior captain of the eighteenth battalion of the third division of the lowly division - Dean! I've seen the general!" The captain immediately reported to his home.
