Chapter 393 Fainting on a snowy night丨Victory

"Mubai..." Flanders took a deep breath and said to Dai Mubai in front of him, "The front line has been defeated. If we stay here any longer, we will be in danger."

Although they followed Dai Mubai back to the Star Luo Empire at Shrek Academy and helped Dai Mubai become the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, their identities were already different.

But Dai Mubai never let Flanders and others call him by his first name because of this change in status.

He also still calls Flanders and others teachers, instead of calling them by their first names like a third person after their status changed.

"How come... General Baxia?!" Dai Mubai's evil eyes twitched and he asked.

"General Baxia...has died in battle." Flanders shook his head and said, "And the person who killed him was Lu Yuan."

"Lu Yuan? Why did he appear here?" Dai Mubai's eyes were filled with fear.

But after the name Lu Yuan appeared, he seemed not to be so surprised by Gao Zhong's death.

Especially if he died in the hands of Lu Yuan, without him, it would be a bit too ordinary for anything to happen to Lu Yuan.

After all, too many incredible things had happened to Lu Yuan.

"I don't know, but he did appear on the battlefield, and General Baxia had already died in his hands, and he still held General Baxia's head in his hand. Many soldiers on the front line had surrendered on the spot." Flanders said. said the voice.

Because of the owl spirit, he had excellent eyesight. When the army mutinied in front, he summoned the spirit to fly into the air and see the situation on the battlefield from a distance.

"Mubai, if Lu Yuan appears here, that guy named La Ast is probably also here." Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice at this time.

Six years ago, he had one of his arms ripped off by Rayast who suddenly appeared from Lu Yuan's body.

Although this was a blessing in disguise, it was because he felt the powerful power of Rayast from the Death Omen Celestial Spirit that he had the insight to break through to the Contra realm first.

But he was also deeply impressed by Rayaste's power.

"It may be because Laast defeated General Gao Zhong, so it may be dangerous for us to stay here." Dai Mubai took a deep breath and suppressed his uneasiness.

The front line of the army was completely defeated, and Gao Zhong died in battle, so the army at the rear was headed by him and all obeyed his command.

"In that case, let's withdraw our troops!" Dai Mubai said without hesitation with his evil eyes determined.

When Flanders and Zhao Wuji saw this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in their eyes.

Dai Mubai's talent is not bad. In addition, at critical moments, he does not act impulsively and makes decisive decisions. He has vaguely the demeanor of a great king.

Compared with Dai Mubai, whose performance was far inferior to that of the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe" of the Tiandou Empire during the trilateral meeting two and a half years ago, he has obviously grown a lot this time.

The Star Luo Empire did not send all its 300,000 troops to attack the city, but left 30,000 troops behind to protect Dai Mubai.

As a result, the remaining 30,000 troops covered Dai Mubai and others as they retreated to the borders of the Star Luo Empire.

…

Lu Yuan took out a wooden treasure box from Star Eclipse, placed the heavy head in it, and finally sprinkled some lime to prevent rot.

This is not because he has any special hobby, but cutting off the enemy's general's head has special meaning for our own side.

Especially this is the tall and heavy head of General Ba Xia, one of the three most famous generals of the Star Luo Empire.

That means even more.

For example, after that, the head would be presented to Emperor Xueye, who would then use it to promote the world and enhance the prestige of the Tiandou Empire.

After that, the Star Luo Empire may send an envoy to negotiate and redeem the head - after all, it is the head of an old general. He has made so many contributions to the Star Luo Empire, so it must be redeemed. Get a good burial.

At that time, it will be time to discuss the redemption conditions again.

He put the treasure box back into the Star Eclipse. At this time, he glanced at the battlefield and saw that the Star Luo Empire's army had been defeated, and there were not many people who refused to surrender.

Therefore, the subsequent work of accommodating prisoners is another big problem.

Of course, Lu Yuan would not directly kill these soldiers just because he wanted to imitate a famous killer.

He didn't believe that it was unlucky to kill prisoners, but there was no need to be so inhumane, and he didn't have to be so untrustworthy - he just said he would not kill if he surrendered.

At this time, Ning Rongrong and Lu Qingqing returned to him.

"Brother, are you not injured?" Lu Qingqing asked with nervous eyes.

Ning Rongrong just smiled and said nothing, not because she didn't care about Lu Yuan, but because she knew Lu Yuan's strength too well.

Over the past few years, Lu Yuan's strength has become so powerful that it is difficult to describe it with common sense. Coupled with the blessings of many BUFFs, even Contra is no match for Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan did feel this way. Although he only had the Soul Saint level of cultivation now, he felt that he was worthy even against a titled Douluo.

It's not the kind of suspicion, possibility, or the theory that the weakest titled Douluo like Dugu Bo is true, but the real truth.

Even when he killed Gao Zhong, an eighty-seventh-level veteran Contra, he didn't feel any difficulty.

The power of the Death Star Demon Scythe has been fully demonstrated. In Douluo Continent, a world with a very weak power level, Lu Yuan's strength can no longer be measured by ordinary cultivation.

He could even feel that his soul power was different from that of ordinary people. In essence, it was closer to high-level energy such as arcane energy, which also made his strength more difficult to measure with common sense.

Coupled with the form amplification, martial soul avatar, soul bone blessing, and soul skill amplification, Lu Yuan even had a feeling that even if he faced ninety-two or three-level titled Douluo like She Long and Ailin, he would not be able to defeat them. It might even hurt them.

"Of course not." Hearing Lu Qingqing's words of concern, Lu Yuan chuckled and disarmed the "combat armor" - the embodiment of the shadow armor and the attached soul bone.

"Okay, let's go back to the city and take a rest first. Then we have a lot of things to be busy with." Ning Rongrong said solemnly at this time.

"Well...there are still a lot of things to be busy with later." Lu Yuan nodded.

…

At this time, Tiandou City.

"What?!" Emperor Xue Ye's lips trembled.

"The Star Dou Empire army appears in Zhennang Pass?!" His face instantly turned pale, like gold paper.

It took six days for the information from Zhennanguan to arrive in Tiandou City. This was already an urgent matter eight hundred miles away.

This was even the result of traveling day and night. Everyone who conveyed the news traveled without rest at all, and did not rest at the original post station until the information was handed over to the next person.

Not only Emperor Xueye, but also the faces of everyone else in the Great Assembly Hall became ugly.

"How many?!" Qian Renxue stood up at this time and said with a heavy face.

"We don't know the number of the enemy's army yet, but we estimate... that it will be no less than two hundred thousand!" The messenger, who was kneeling in front of everyone, swallowed his saliva and said.

"No less than two hundred thousand..." Emperor Xueye suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat, and the next moment his tall and thin body leaned back as if he was pushing a mountain over the sea!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Suddenly, there was a panic in the hall.

At this time, no one noticed, but a hint of joy flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.

At this moment, she wanted to pretend to be anxious and take a step forward. When approaching Emperor Xue Ye, she touched the sachet on her body at the same time.

"Father! Father!"

But the next moment, Prince Xuexing on the side gave a sharp look and stood directly in front of Qian Renxue. He shouted, "Please invite Poison Douluo over quickly!"

The minister immediately ordered the palace attendants to run out of the palace, apparently going to the Sunset Forest to invite Dugu Bo over.

Qian Renxue frowned, but she had no choice. Since Prince Xuexing had noticed her, she couldn't force him to come.

Anyway, she didn't want to let Xue Ye die directly, she just wanted to make the toxins in Xue Ye's body go further.

Soon, Dugu Bo appeared in the hall. He glanced at the fainted Emperor Xue Ye and immediately understood what happened.

"Leave your Majesty to me." Dugu Bo said.

Then everyone stepped aside and allowed Dugu Bo to take away Emperor Xue Ye. He also took him wherever he went, back to Emperor Xue Ye's palace.

No one could see what Dugu Bo did, but Dugu Bo was a titled Douluo, and he had been treating Emperor Xue Ye for so many years, so everyone felt reassured about him.

After a while, Emperor Xue Ye's weak voice came from outside the palace, "Order Ning Fengzhi, the master of the Qibao Glazed Sect, Yu Luomian, the deputy master of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect, Marshal Ge Long, Marquis Fengwu, Marquis Xuanwu, Liehuo The Hou enters the palace to discuss matters."

"Yes! Your Majesty!" The minister immediately went down to deliver the order.

…

The Tianying Army command camp temporarily stationed at Zhennanguan.

Lu Po walked heavily into the camp and raised his hands to Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong in front of him, "Master Marquis, Madam."

"How is it? Have all the enemy and friendly casualties been counted?" Lu Yuan asked.

"The statistics are out." Lu Po pursed his lips, then took a deep breath, as if he was sorting out his emotions.

"Tell me, General, in this battle, we killed more than 184,000 enemy soldiers and captured more than 74,000 enemy soldiers," Lu Po said.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and killed more than 180,000 enemies. Counting the surprise attack troops that broke into Hel City, almost 200,000 Star Luo Empire troops died at Zhennan Pass.

In the end, more than 70,000 people were captured. There is no doubt that this was a great victory.

It was still an unimaginable victory. After all, the Zhennan Pass defenders and Tianying Army only numbered 100,000 in total. They faced the Star Luo Empire's army, which had an absolute total strength of more than 300,000.

This is definitely a victory with less over more.

"What are the casualties of our army?" Lu Yuan asked again at this time.

Lu Po said with an ugly face, "Our army... our army..."

"Let's talk." Lu Yuan said calmly, "I have achieved more than 200,000 points, even if it means a bigger sacrifice, I can accept it."

"Twenty-three thousand eight hundred people died in the Zhennanguan garrison this time, and almost everyone left was injured." Lu Po said seriously at this time, "As for our Tianying Army, 8,090 people died and 114,514 were injured. Among them, two clan members were killed in the battle of Shadow Stream, and thirty-eight others were injured..."

"Is it just like this?" Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say.

He thought that the number of Tianying Army soldiers killed in the battle was as high as 20,000 to 30,000, but he did not expect that the number of casualties was less than 10,000.

Originally, it was actually a very sad thing that more than 8,000 people died in battle, but you must know that they killed a total of 270,000 Star Luo Empire troops in this battle.

Among them, as many as 200,000 people were killed in the Star Luo Empire. On that day, only 30,000 people were killed in the Nanguan Gate defenders of the Shadow Army. That was nothing to feel uncomfortable about.

Lu Yuan saw Lu Po still looking very uncomfortable at this time, and immediately changed his words, "No, that's not what I meant. Mainly, this is already a very small loss."

"We sacrificed less than 10,000 lives in battle, killed 180,000 people on the other side, and captured more than 70,000 people on the other side..." He was helpless, "Isn't this the best result?"

Lu Po's eyes dimmed at this moment, "But, they still died, on the battlefield."

Lu Yuan finally figured it out, and Lu Po seemed to...feel the same.

Probably because Lu Po originally had a similar status to these soldiers. The most important thing is that modern military management methods will make the relationship between superiors and lower-level soldiers closer.

Lu Po in particular liked to mingle with lower-level soldiers and generals.

The most important thing is that this is his first time on the battlefield. It is normal that he cannot accept such a thing for a while.

Lu Yuan said calmly, "As long as sacrifices on the battlefield are valuable, they are necessary."

He didn't say anything more. As time goes by, Lu Po will slowly accept this kind of thing.

He is also very optimistic about Lu Po. Lu Po does seem to have the qualifications to be a general. When Lu Po truly grows up in the future, he will hand over the empire's task of unifying the continent to Lu Po.

In the future, as the emperor of a country, his subordinates must gather more talents, otherwise he will definitely be too busy to handle state affairs alone.

"As for the two clansmen who died in the battle." Lu Yuan took a deep breath, "I said at the beginning that whoever died in the battle, I would help take care of his family. Not only that, I also wanted their family to enjoy all the glory and wealth (I suddenly thought of The story about the wealth of the Yan family...), if you pass on the order, as long as you don’t do evil, then this honor will be enjoyed by one generation!"

"Yes, General." Lu Po said.

"Send this news back to the imperial capital." Lu Yuan also took out the treasure box containing the heavy head and handed it to Lu Po, "Here is the enemy general. The heavy head of General Overlord is here. Send it back to the imperial capital."

Lu Po immediately took it carefully and said, "Yes! Lord Marquis!"

"Then, let's wait for the return from the Imperial Capital." Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "We will still guard Zhennanguan for a few days to prevent the other party from coming back."

"However, after all, this is a triumphant victory." He said with a smile, "Send the order, let the whole army celebrate all night, and drink and eat freely. Congratulations on the victory!"

Lu Po finally showed a smile at this time, "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

In normal times, the Tianying Army has a very strict prohibition on drinking and food. The consequences of being caught drinking are very serious, ranging from being expelled from the Tianying Army to being placed in "confinement" at the worst.

The ban on food prohibits overeating. You can eat until you are full, but you cannot skip a meal until you vomit. Also, you cannot waste food.

Even if it's food you don't like, you can't throw it away. You can give it to other colleagues at most.

Once someone is found to be wasting food, and one person breaks the ban, everyone will suffer. The camp will be used as a unit, and they will take turns eating water.

If you can't finish eating, it's the next camp's turn. The taste is quite terrifying.

Lu Yuan's intention was obviously to lift these two prohibitions.

Not only can you drink freely, but there is no need to limit what you eat. You can only eat what you like, or even not finish it.
