Chapter 376 Shadow Stream (2) (4K)

The meeting place for the clan members was at the school grounds of Tianying City's city defense army. Although Tianying City was small, it still had an armament of 20,000 city defense troops.

Of course, 99% of the soldiers in the city defense army are ordinary people, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of Tiandou City's city defense army.

Only a dozen of the highest officers in the army are soul masters, and they take turns guarding the city.

So in this case, if Tianying City is actually invaded, it will rely more on the actions of various nobles in the city.

This is the aristocratic system of the Tiandou Empire. Countless nobles, big and small, in the country support the empire's ruling structure from collapse.

The school ground can accommodate 20,000 people for mobilization. Naturally, there is no problem in receiving nearly 200 people from Lujia Village here.

Lu Yuan went straight to the center of the school ground, looked at the nearly two hundred people in front of him, and nodded slightly.

These nearly two hundred people are not all the villagers of Lujia Village, but also some elderly people. Considering that it is impossible to let the elderly go to the battlefield, he asked Yan Shou to inform Lu Yi, the current head of Lujia Village, to let the young adults and some of the people in the village It's just the young children who have awakened their martial souls when they reach the age.

Among them, there are about a hundred young adults in the village, and there are thirty or forty children in the arms of their fathers.

At this time, they did not look like the villagers working in the village. Many of them were fully dressed and beautifully dressed. Although they still looked like dark-skinned and strong farmers, their faces were plump and energetic, and they did not have that indifferent expression.

Obviously, the quality of life has improved a lot in the past few years because of Lu Yuan.

"Master Hou." At this moment, a sturdy man in his forties or nearly fifty years came to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan recognized him immediately. This was Lu Yi, the eldest son of his second grandfather Lu Wu.

"Uncle Yi, do you need to see others so much? Qingqing and I used to go to your place to play when we were kids." Lu Yuan chuckled lightly and said.

Lu Yi suddenly showed a relaxed smile when he heard this, but he still said, "You are now the Marquis of the Empire after all, and thanks to you, everyone's life has gotten better and better in recent years."

"That's good." Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, "When Second Grandpa was alive, he hoped that the people of the clan could live a happy and stable life. Now I can't be considered as insulting Second Grandpa's expectations..."

"Hey... your second grandfather was quite happy with this when he was alive. Maybe my father left peacefully just because he saw that everyone's life was getting better." Lu Yi sighed and said, "My father has passed away. He was relieved and left peacefully."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan hesitated.

The second grandfather Lu Wu wants the tribe to settle down, but what he will do next will undoubtedly drag the tribe from a stable and happy life into a cruel and bloody war.

Is this... really good?

But soon, he rejected his idea.

Lu Yuan's eyes became sharp. He was born in sorrow and died in happiness. Now it is impossible for him to take another half step back.

Once he doesn't have enough strength and is defeated by the Wuhun Palace or even the Tiandou Imperial Family, will his clansmen not be implicated?

The answer is of course no.

So he must do this, all the cruelty is for the great cause of his Lu family!

Lu Yi saw the change in Lu Yuan's expression and suddenly became curious, "Master Hou... what are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing." Lu Yuan shook his head, and then said to him seriously, "Uncle Yi, the reason why I came to summon the clan members today is actually for one thing."

"What's the matter?" Lu Yi asked curiously.

"Let me meet with everyone first, and I will tell you everything later." Lu Yuan did not say it directly, but said this.

"Okay, I will ask the clansmen to quiet down and listen to you." Lu Yi nodded and said.

He turned around and picked up a large speaker made of iron sheets from the ground, and shouted loudly to the villagers in Lujia Village who were talking to each other in front of him, "Everyone! Be quiet!"

Lu Yi's prestige in Lujia Village is quite good, and all the villagers of Lujia Village who were born in the market were instantly determined.

"My fellow tribesmen, this person in front of us is the pride of our Lujia Village, the Marquis of the Empire - Tianying Marquis Lu Yuan." Lu Yi shouted loudly, "Come today, it is the Marquis who summoned us."

Suddenly, there was another burst of discussion below.

"This is the first time I have seen this legend in our village... He is indeed extraordinary in appearance, handsome and graceful!"

"Let me tell you, Mr. Hou's family was separated from ours by a rice field. At that time, I felt that this child had been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and he would definitely have great potential in the future!"

"Thanks to the Marquis, our family not only doesn't have to pay taxes in the past few years, but is also favored by the nobles in the city. My boy can become a shopkeeper in a commercial bank in the city."

"Long live the Marquis!"

…

There was a lot of discussion below, but Lu Yi frowned and shouted, "Quiet! Everyone calls you Lord Marquis!"

Suddenly, nearly two hundred villagers from Lujiacun below shouted in unison, "Hello, Mr. Hou!"

"Next, the Marquis wants to speak to us!" Lu Yi nodded with satisfaction and said.

In fact, he was really afraid that the villagers in Lujia Village would not understand the dignity and respect Lu Yuan because they were of the same race.

Speaking of which, before Lu Yuan awakened his martial spirit, although the villagers did not do anything to bully Lu Yuan's family, they were not so close to each other after all.

Before Lu Yuan awakened his martial spirit, the only people who had close contact with Lu Qing's family were his second grandfather Lu Wu's family.

Lu Yi is also grateful in his heart that his father and he are both kind-hearted people and did not exclude Lu Qing's family too much, which is why today's good reward has been achieved.

Lu Yuan took a step forward, then declined the tin trumpet handed over by Lu Yi. He looked at the tribesmen in front of him and smiled slightly.

Then he directly used his soul power to spread the voice, "Dear clansmen, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I won't talk nonsense. The reason why I am gathering you here today."

"There are only two things I do. To be precise, it can also be said to be one thing."

Suddenly, all the people in Lujiacun became curious.

The majestic Marquis of the Empire, do you still want to find them if something happens?

"First, I came here this time to find a way for everyone in our Lujia Village, including all our uncles, to have soul power and embark on the path of cultivation!" Lu Yuan said slowly.

In an instant, the whole place exploded.

Lu Yuan specifically asked Cheng Chao to eliminate everyone in the school grounds except those he arranged.

After all, it would definitely be troublesome if others knew that he could turn ordinary people into soul masters.

Of course, the subsequent fact that nearly two hundred ordinary people in Lujiacun suddenly turned into soul masters will definitely make some people familiar with Lujiacun feel confused.

But who would always know that Lujiacun has always been an ordinary person?

In addition to the nearby neighboring village Saint Soul Village, Wuhun Palace, which originally knew that Lu Yuan was from Lujia Village and was always paying attention to Lujia Village, would know this.

No one else is likely to wonder about this.

"Really? I am thirty-four years old this year. Is it really possible for me to practice?"

"Master Hou, there is no need to lie to us, and there is no harm in it for us. Isn't it a good thing to become a soul master?"

"If I can become a soul master, I'm willing to do anything!"

"I don't force myself to become a soul master, but if my children can become soul masters, I will do anything."

…

In the world of Douluo Continent, the status of soul masters is extremely high.

Even if you just become a soul master with only one soul ring, you can have wealth and status several times higher than ordinary people.

Therefore, becoming a soul master is the dream of almost all ordinary people.

The villagers of Lujia Village were no exception. They were extremely excited after hearing Lu Yuan's words and wished they could become soul masters on the spot.

"However, becoming a soul master comes with a price." Lu Yuan continued to say solemnly at this time.

"This is the second thing I want to talk about next. If you choose to become a soul master, you must follow me on the battlefield. You will become my personal soldiers. Even if you die on the battlefield, you must move forward with me. Back together!"

"This is the price I pay for letting you become soul masters. The price may be small, or it may be huge."

"The smallest price is for you to return alive on the battlefield and enjoy the honor, power and wealth given to you by the empire!"

"The biggest price is..." Lu Yuan paused and said in a deep voice, "...die!"

"Although your death will not be in vain, your wife, your children, and your parents will all be taken care of by me. Whoever dares to bully them, I will let them see the sharpness of my Death Star Scythe!"

At the same time, he summoned the Death Star Scythe in his hand, "Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

He directly waved the Death Star Scythe and cut off the flagpole on the right side of his body!

The flagpole, which was as thick as an adult's calf, was cut down like the body of the man Lu Yuan mentioned, and fell to the ground with a deafening sound.

"But after all, this is death. When you die, you will have nothing. You will no longer be able to enjoy those honors, wealth, and power. You will never even see your wife, your children, and your father and mother again." .”

"Death is not something to be taken lightly or laughed off, but something as heavy as a thousand and extremely painful. When you go to the battlefield, even I can't guarantee that I can escape from the battlefield unscathed, so you have to think clearly."

Suddenly, everyone in the Lu family felt depressed after hearing this, and some even turned pale, obviously having thought of the heaviest price Lu Yuan had said.

Some people were disapproving and had firm expressions.

There are also some fathers holding children in their arms. He looks at the children in his arms with relieved and determined eyes.

Lu Yuan saw the expressions of all of them and continued to say expressionlessly, "And these decisions depend on all brothers over the age of sixteen. Those under the age of sixteen, regardless of whether you agree to become my personal soldier or not, , I will help you awaken your martial soul."

"And others over the age of sixteen! Come out!"

Suddenly, all the young adults over the age of 16 in Lujia Village took a step forward.

"I won't force you to agree to me. I know better than anyone else how precious a life is, and I don't like to force others." Lu Yuan looked at them and said calmly, "It's entirely up to you to agree or refuse. "

"Remember! Even if one of you rejects me, others cannot laugh at him!"

"He is not greedy for life and afraid of death. On the contrary, he made a decision after carefully weighing the value of his life!" Lu Yuan shouted, "Do you understand?!"

At this time, the villagers in Lujia Village couldn't help but surrender to the power of Lu Yuan, a fifteen-year-old boy, and shouted in unison, "I understand!"

"Okay, now!" Lu Yuan looked around them all, "Those who refuse, please go back!"

A few seconds passed.

Lu Yuan was very surprised. Among the more than a hundred young people from Lujia Village who stood up, not one of them backed down.

In his original guess, there should be at least a dozen people withdrawing from the competition.

After all, there is nothing trivial about the battlefield, and there is really nothing good about being a soldier in this world. It is completely different from the treatment of people's soldiers in previous lives.

So it's only natural that someone quits.

He won't blame those who quit, not to mention that it's not a big deal to have a dozen or so less soldiers.

It's not that without these dozen people, he will definitely be defeated by Wuhun Palace and the enemy.

But now, none of the young adults in Lujia Village have quit.

This was beyond Lu Yuan's expectation.

He immediately looked at a young man at the back of the queue. He was only in his early twenties, but now he was pale and sweating profusely.

Obviously he is the least determined one in this team, and he should have thought about quitting.

So, Lu Yuan slowly walked up to him, looked at this tribesman who was not much older than himself, and said softly, "Why did you accept it?"

"Why...why?" the young man stammered, "I want to become stronger, I don't want to be bullied."

"I also want to see the bigger world. I don't want to stay here all my life."

"Even if you don't accept it, you don't have to be bullied." Lu Yuan said calmly, "After all, you are my tribe, no one dares to bully you."

"I know...but I want to gain the respect of others!" The young man gritted his teeth and said.

"Only a soul master can gain everyone's respect! I don't want to be an ordinary person all my life, I... I want to become a soul master!" He finally roared loudly, almost pulling his throat.

His face was still pale and his forehead was covered with sweat. It was obvious that this decision was still quite heavy for him.

But even though it was so heavy, he made a true choice in his heart.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan was relieved, and he smiled slightly, "What's your name?"

"Ah?" The young man was stunned for a moment.

"I said, I want to know your name." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Lu Po! Lord Hou! My name is Lu Po!" the young man shouted loudly.

"Very good, I will remember you." Lu Yuan nodded and said.

Then he walked directly to everyone again and said, "You have all made your own choices. I am very happy. You are willing to help me. This is what I want to thank everyone."

Then, in front of everyone, he slightly lowered his body and performed a 45-degree bow!

Everyone was panicked, but Lu Yuan quickly straightened up.

"Okay, next, let me lead everyone on the road that will make our Lu family prosperous!" Lu Yuan directly took out the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal from the Ruyi Baobao bag, and at the same time, the fifth soul ring behind him It also lit up.

He walked straight towards nearly two hundred tribesmen.

Ten thousand achieved! I will briefly touch on how to make clansmen become soul masters. The next chapter will be about returning to Tiandou City.

Then start jumping the timeline!
