Chapter 361 Soul Beast Declares War

And at this time.

There is already a warning outside Tiandou City, and the Star Dou Forest has a vast banner. In this slightly backward Dou Yi era, even the combined area of ​​cities developed by humans is not as vast as the Star Dou Forest.

Moreover, almost many human cities are very close to the Star Dou Forest.

Once a beast wave is launched, if humans do not take precautions, they will definitely pay a heavy price.

"Tianyinghou." General Ma De, the third division of the Royal Knights, looked at Lu Yuan who was walking over and nodded solemnly to show courtesy.

“This is my first time working together, so I hope you can give me some advice.”

Mader can be regarded as the younger general among the ten generals of the Royal Knights. With his natural yellow hair and slightly plain and rough face, it can be seen that this middle-aged man in his forties has an extraordinary background. .

After all, he and Lu Yuan have the same cultivation level. They are both soul emperors, but their soul power is only slightly lower than Lu Yuan's, with only level 63 soul power.

But even so, the Soul Emperor, who is in his forties, can expect to break through Soul Douluo in the future.

"General Ma, has anything happened?" Lu Yuan nodded and then asked.

"I can't see clearly. The fog in the Star Dou Forest is too big. Now it even vaguely spreads to the periphery of the Sunset Forest." Ma De looked at the foggy Star Dou Forest from the top of the Tiandou City wall and felt a little... Scalp numbness.

"I have been in the army for more than 30 years, and I have never seen such a scene." He couldn't help but whisper, "Not only the soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest have gone crazy, but the ten-thousand-year soul beasts are also active in the ten-year soul beast area. activities, and such a heavy fog has spread..."

"The people of the empire on the outskirts of the city have already evacuated, right?" Lu Yuan shook his head and then asked.

"The evacuation is basically complete." Ma De nodded and said, "However, in the process, those soul beasts unexpectedly rushed out of the Star Dou Forest. The Xuanwu Army of Marquis Xuanwu also suffered a certain amount of casualties before successfully completing the mission."

"Xuanwu Army?" Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment.

The grandfather of the Shi brothers is Xuanwu Hou, and they have said before that after graduation, they will join the Xuanwu Army.

Now that I think about it, Lu Yuan has not seen the Shi brothers for a long time, almost two months.

Although everyone is in Tiandou City, Tiandou City is too big. Without an agreement, it is really difficult to meet each other.

Will the Shi brothers be in the Xuanwu Army at this time?

"Yes, according to His Majesty's decree, not only the two divisions of our Royal Knights, but also the Xuanwu Army of Xuanwuhou, the Liehuo Army of Liehuohou, and the Fengwu Army of Fengwuhou are all responsible for evacuating Tiandou today. Imperial subjects in cities and suburbs and the duties of vigilance.”

"Fire Army..." Lu Yuan had not seen Yan Zhuyin for a long time, but he was more curious about the other army that Ma De mentioned.

"Fengwu Marquis? Fengwu Army?" He asked, "General Ma, I don't know much about Fengwu Marquis and Fengwu Army. Can you tell me a little bit about it."

"Of course it is possible. The current Fengwu Marquis is named Andrew, and their ancestral martial spirit is called the Desert Tiger, a powerful attack spirit. Their family has been the fifth generation of Fengwu Marquis since they inherited the title three hundred years ago." Mader said.

"It turns out that the soul masters of the Xuanwu Army are all defense-type battle soul masters, and the soul masters of the Agni Fire Army are all agility-type attack-type battle soul masters. Therefore, it was also arranged that all the members of the Fengwu Army are attack-type battle soul masters. Legion?" Lu Yuan understood.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind them, "Fengwu Army Andy meets with the two generals."

Lu Yuan and Ma De then looked back and saw a tall, thin man with black hair and rough skin wearing a military uniform standing in front of them, bowing his hands in salute.

"Andy hahaha, long time no see, why are you so polite now?" Mader came to Andy at this time and slapped him on the shoulder.

Andy rolled his eyes directly at him.

Apparently, they have a pretty good relationship.

"Tianyinghou, let me introduce to you. He is the younger brother of the current Fengwuhou. His name is Andy." Made introduced.

"This is our first meeting, General An." Lu Yuan said with a smile, "I'm Lu Yuan."

"I've heard about the name Tianyinghou for a long time, but I don't dare to be called General An." Andy said with a smile, "I'm here today, please take good care of Tianyinghou."

"Just take care of each other." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

At this moment, three more figures walked onto the city wall, and Lu Yuan, Andy and Ma De all looked over.

When Lu Yuan saw the three figures at this moment, he smiled slightly.

The three figures who walked up at the same time obviously saw Lu Yuan, and two of the short men among the three figures suddenly showed surprise in their eyes.

"Boss!" These two figures are the two Shi brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, whom they haven't seen for a long time.

Shi Mo immediately walked quickly towards Lu Yuan. Shi Mo looked at Lu Yuan with excitement and said, "I really didn't expect that I could meet the boss here..."

Before he could finish his words, Shi Mo on the side slapped him on the head, "Didn't you tell me before? In the future, everyone will work in the army, so they will definitely be able to meet the boss!"

"You guy!" Shi Mo grinned and glared at his twin brother, "Can't you talk about something properly? And am I not excited?"

"You two seem to be doing well now." Lu Yuan said with a smile at this time, "Have you made a breakthrough in your cultivation?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, boss." The Shi brothers said in unison, smiling, "Not long after winning the championship, we successively broke through to the forty-fifth level of soul power."

"Not bad, break through steadily." Lu Yuan said with a smile, "This is more important than anything else."

Shi Mo nodded, "Of course we know this truth."

Shi Mo seemed to remember something at this moment and said to Lu Yuan, "By the way, we are not the only ones here today..."

Lu Yuan looked at the beautiful figure that was slowly walking towards him. Looking at Yan Zhuyin who was still the same as in his memory, he smiled slightly and said, "Zhu Yin, long time no see."

Yan Zhuyin looked at his smiling face, and a ripple appeared in his always cold eyes, reflecting the boy's clear figure, "Lu Yuan, long time no see."

"Now is not the time to reminisce about old times. Let me introduce you to them first." After greeting Yan Zhuyin, Lu Yuan turned to the Shi brothers and Yan Zhuyin and said.

"This is General Mader, who is now a member of the Royal Knights with me, and this is General Andy, the current commander-in-chief of the Fengwu Army."

Both Ma De and Andy smiled and nodded at the Shi brothers and Yan Zhuyin, "This is our first meeting, please take care of us."

"These three are my former classmates, Graphite Shimo and Yan Zhuyin." Lu Yuan added.

"Xuanwu Army Commander Shi Mo (Shi Mo) has met General Ma De and General Andy." Shi Mo Shi quickly raised his hands and saluted.

Whether they are in title or position, they are lower than Mader and Andy, so they naturally have to salute.

Yan Zhuyin also saluted Ma De and Andy and said, "The leader of the Fire Army, Yan Zhuyin, has met General Ma De and General Andy."

"No need to say more, Commander Shi, how did you do in the evacuation mission this morning? Did you find any abnormalities?" Mad shook his head at this time, and then asked.

He just listened to the message from the scouts. The Xuanwu Army evacuated the people on the outskirts of Tiandou City this morning and suffered a certain amount of casualties, but he still didn't know the specific situation, so he wanted to ask again.

Shi Mo suddenly smiled bitterly, "Our evacuation mission was too late. We only evacuated some farmers who were far away from the Star Dou Forest. As for those villages closer to the Star Dou Forest, they have been destroyed by the spirit beasts."

"Furthermore, when our Xuanwu Army was assisting in the evacuation of three villages, they were attacked by groups of spirit beasts, which caused more than 60 civilian casualties, 11 of our ordinary soldiers died, and 132 were injured. One soul master died and twenty-eight others were injured..."

As soon as this casualty figure came out, even Andy and Mader, two battle-hardened generals, frowned.

The Xuanwu Army has more soldiers than the Royal Knights, with as many as 100,000 soldiers on staff.

However, the proportion of soul masters among them is smaller than that of the Royal Knights. There are 2,000 soul masters among the 50,000 Royal Knights.

Titled legions like the Xuanwu Army and the Agni Fire Army only have more than five hundred soul masters at most.

Of course, the Xuanwu Army will not be dispatched in full today. Emperor Xueye just ordered 20,000 Xuanwu Army soldiers to march to carry out the evacuation mission.

But this was just an evacuation mission, and the Xuanwu Army suffered casualties.

You must know that it is the Xuanwu Army, which is known as the strongest defensive army in the empire!

Suddenly, several people present clearly felt the difficulty of this change in the Star Dou Forest.

"Just withdraw. Although we don't know what happened in the Star Dou Forest now, we must be prepared to meet the impact of those soul beasts at any time!" Ma De said in a deep voice.

But at this moment, a rapid roar echoed through the city wall!

"This is..." Both Mader and Andy's expressions changed.

Soon, the vanguard of the army under the city gate shouted in unison, "The soul beast is attacking!"

Lu Yuan's eyes sharpened, and then he looked far ahead.

Sure enough, in the distance, various dark soul beasts were slowly approaching Tiandou City. They were not moving fast, but they were moving in an orderly manner.

They fanned forward as a whole, almost in sync with the dark clouds in the sky. Vaguely, with the breeze blowing, the faint fishy smell from the spirit beasts had reached the top of Tiandou City.

"Get ready to fight! Inform your majesty at the same time!" Lu Yuan shouted to the scouts on the side.

"Yes!" The scout quickly summoned his martial spirit. His martial spirit was a flying martial spirit. He turned around and flew directly to Tiandou Imperial City!

"General Ma De, General Andy, you are in charge here." Lu Yuan said to Ma De and Andy again at this time.

Ma De and Andy were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lu Yuan, "Tianyinghou, what are you..."

The next moment, Lu Yuan stood directly on the city wall, then took a step and jumped out.

"I'm going to stop those beasts!"

…

Tiandou Palace, Grand Meeting Hall.

Like the medieval European empire in Lu Yuan's previous life, the Tiandou Empire did not have a separate place for court meetings and the emperor's meeting with ministers. The imperial palace had already assumed the daily residence of the royal family, the emperor convened nobles for discussions, and the emperor issued orders, etc.

The Grand Meeting Hall is located in the Tiandou Imperial Palace. As early as the morning, all the nobles in Tiandou City who are above count and hold the real power of the empire have already arrived here to wait.

The civil ministers include the Prime Minister of the Empire, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Privy Seals, and the Minister of Criminal Law. The military ministers include the generals headed by the Imperial Marshal Ge Long, the Marquis of Xuanwu, the Marquis of Liehuo, the Marquis of Fengwu, the Marquis of Senluo, the Marquis of Gale, and the Royal Ranbir, the leader of the Knights, and Cruze, the leader of the Royal Guards.

As well as royal relatives, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe", the Fourth Prince Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing.

In addition, there are the stewards of the two major sects. From the Qibao Glazed Sect, there is no doubt that it is the sect leader Ning Fengzhi. He is accompanied by Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

As for the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect, as always, it was not the sect leader Yu Yuanzhen who came out to take care of things, but his younger brother Yu Luomian.

Finally, there is the platinum bishop Salas, the master of Tiandou City Spirit Temple.

On this occasion, they all stood still and waited for Emperor Xueye to appear.

Not long after, Emperor Xue Ye finally appeared slowly with the sharp screams of the palace actors.

(Note: Some book friends have wondered before, this is a Western medieval background, how could there be eunuchs, actually...

There were indeed eunuchs in the Western Middle Ages, but they were different from eunuchs. )

This kind of Western medieval eunuchs are generally called actors. The reason why they are physiologically castrated is purely because castration when they were children can keep their voices beautiful.

They are also called castratos.

In the Middle Ages in the West, boys with loud and clear voices underwent cruel castration surgery to change their voices after puberty. Because of changes in sex hormones in the body, their vocal tracts would become narrower, which was conducive to the expansion of their vocal ranges. In addition, Their huge lung capacity and vocal volume give them extraordinary voices that exceed those of ordinary people.

Western medieval courts and nobles liked to employ these eunuchs as their attendants, also known as eunuchs. Of course, these people were also singers, and their status was certainly not as low as that of eunuchs. )

"Meet your Majesty." Immediately, Qian Renxue led the ministers to salute Emperor Xueye.

"No courtesy." Emperor Xueye sat on his seat and said directly, "I believe you all know the current situation, what do you think?"

Ning Fengzhi took a step forward at this time, "Your Majesty, I feel that this may be a precursor to the start of the beast tide."

"The tide of beasts..." Emperor Xueye frowned at this time, "What is this? A large-scale change of soul beasts?"

The last record of beast tides was too far away, so the phenomenon of beast tides is rarely known.

Even Emperor Xueye, the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, was no exception.

"No, for us humans, the beast tide should be a war launched by the soul beasts against us." Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said.

"I think this beast wave will not be launched for no reason." At this moment, Prince Snow Star couldn't help but said.

"Yes, every time the beast tide is launched, it means that there is an absolute supreme soul beast, or multiple soul beast supremes unite and order all the soul beasts to riot." Ning Fengzhi nodded immediately and said.
