Chapter 431 Grand Duke Tianying丨Xingluo Yewang

"An army of one million?!" Emperor Xueye couldn't sit still anymore and stood up angrily, "Is the Star Luo Empire crazy?!"

"Are you sure this information is true?!" Qian Renxue frowned and asked the scout directly.

"I don't dare to exaggerate this matter. It is reported truthfully according to the secret message!" The scout knelt down in horror and said sternly.

"The detailed secret report from the Star Luo Empire says that the Star Luo Empire is not only mobilizing a million troops this time, but it is said that the current Star Luo Emperor is also going to personally lead the expedition!"

"Dai Qingxiao (the made-up name of Emperor Xingluo, if the correct name appears in the anime or elsewhere, please help correct it)...this time he actually wants to personally lead his troops to attack our Tiandou Empire..." Emperor Xueye Leng vocal channel.

(Let me mention here, the settings of this book are given priority to novels, followed by anime, and then comics. The settings are mainly based on novels. If there are no novels, then look for secondary settings in anime and comics. For example, the novels are set There is no Titled Douluo in the Star Luo Empire, so in the anime it is said that the Star Luo Emperor is the setting of a Level 92 Titled Douluo, so here we will not choose to use it. At most, it is the setting of a Level 89 Soul Douluo.)

Dai Qingxiao was the real name of the contemporary Emperor Xingluo. Although Emperor Xueye was slightly older than Emperor Xingluo, he still knew his real name.

"Your Majesty, this is not the time to talk." At this moment, Ge Long stood up and said.

"Zhennanguan only has the Senluo Army and the original defenders. The total is less than 200,000 troops. The Star Luo Empire mobilized a million troops this time. Even the Senluo Marquis and the Senluo Army are brave and good at fighting. They rely on the natural dangers of Zhennanguan. , I’m afraid it will be difficult to resist its offensive!”

"We must send troops to support Zhennanguan!"

"But not long after the war ended, the army suffered heavy casualties. The remaining 300,000 troops are now exhausted physically and mentally, and their morale is low. How can we rush to Zhennanguan to help?" Blast Marquis couldn't help but said.

This time, apart from the Tiandou City defense army, the one who suffered the most heavy losses was the Wind Cavalry Regiment.

If there were another war, the Storm Cavalry Regiment might not be completely wiped out.

And he wasn’t all thinking about himself and himself, what he said made sense.

Now that the war has just ended, more than 300,000 soldiers have been injured or killed. The four major legions and the city defense army combined have less than 300,000 left. Morale is low and everyone is injured. How can they go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?

Several other military princes also had their eyes flickering, feeling that this was quite reasonable.

Leading troops to fight is not a simple strategy game. It not only takes into account the combat strength of both sides, but also takes into account the right time, place and people.

Morale is low and everyone is injured. Even with a force several times larger than the enemy's, they are unable to exert much combat effectiveness and are defeated by the enemy in vain.

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Emperor Xue Ye shouted angrily, "The empire raises you soldiers to protect your family and country at this time! How can you back down at this time?!"

In fact, Marquis Gale's words were not a sign of retreat, but Emperor Xueye was not a horse-riding emperor like Emperor Xingluo, who was capable of arranging troops and being brave and good at fighting.

After all, his cultivation level is too low. A forty-level soul sect can only be the commander of a battalion on the battlefield, let alone the commander of an entire army. He can still take care of himself.

Coupled with his status as emperor, he must be the one protected when leading troops in war.

The Marquis of Gale Wind dared not speak out in anger, but he still persuaded him earnestly, "But, Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty." At this moment, Lu Yuan, who had been silent, stood up calmly and said, "What Marquis Gale Wind said is not unreasonable. Our army's morale is low now. If we continue to travel long distances and face millions of people from the Star Luo Empire, The army can’t play any role.”

Emperor Xueye frowned and looked at him, "Is Tianyinghou also a timid person?"

"Yuan is not afraid of fighting, but if he fights because of the war, regardless of the right time, place, and people, then the battle will undoubtedly be defeated." Lu Yuan said slowly, "By then, all the remaining 300,000 troops in the empire will be dead. Without the ability to intimidate the Star Luo Empire, major kingdoms, and principalities, the empire will be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, at the mercy of others!"

"But now that the Star Luo Empire has invaded our territory and Zhennan Pass is in danger, why don't we resist?!" Emperor Xue Ye snorted coldly and said.

Obviously he is dissatisfied with Lu Yuan now.

Yes, after all, it was not him who went to the front line to kill the enemy, but Lu Yuan and the others.

In order to protect the continuation of his Tiandou royal family, Lu Yuan and the others had to go even if they had to die in vain.

A coldness flashed across Lu Yuan's eyes, "Old dog, I'll wait until the day you die of poison, and I'll see how you beg me."

But at this moment, he still said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is exactly what we have to do. Only by not resisting the Star Luo Empire can we have a chance to repel the Star Luo Empire."

"No resistance?!" Emperor Xueye was angry, "If you don't resist, will Zhennan Pass be handed over to the Star Luo Empire?!"

"Exactly!" Lu Yuan said in a solemn voice, "Only by giving Zhennan Pass to the Star Luo Empire can we have a chance to fight back!"

Emperor Xue Ye was stunned when he heard this. He could tell that Lu Yuan was serious, and it seemed that he had follow-up plans after this.

He restrained his anger slightly, but still said coldly, "What do you think of Lord Tianying?"

Ge Long and others were also very curious. What plan did Lu Yuan have to give Zhennan Pass to the Star Luo Empire before he could counterattack?

"Now that we have just fought, we have suffered heavy casualties and low morale. If we go to Zhennanguan with only our 300,000 troops, even if we combine the Senluo Army and the Hel Principality defenders, they will only have 500,000 troops. Compared with With the opponent's equally elite army of millions, it can be said that we don't have any advantage." Lu Yuan said slowly.

"So, we need to take time and order the major kingdoms and principalities to send troops to join forces. At the same time, we need to shorten the march route, so that there is enough time for our army soldiers to rest and prepare, and wait for work, so that we can have a chance to counterattack the Star Luo Empire. "

"At that time, we must resist the Star Luo Empire's million-strong army at Jialing Pass. Only by gathering our forces and relying on the natural dangers of Jialing Pass can we possibly defeat the Star Luo Empire!"

"Marshal Ge, if you order the major kingdoms and principalities to mobilize their armies at this time, how many armies can be assembled and how much time will it take." Lu Yuan looked at Ge Long.

"General mobilization takes three months, and emergency mobilization takes at least two months." Ge Long replied seriously.

"But even if we urgently summon all the major kingdoms and principalities to mobilize, it will still take two months. Once Zhennang Pass is surrendered to the Star Luo Empire, then after Zhennang Pass is exposed, wouldn't it mean that all the major kingdoms and principalities will be directly affected by the Star Luo Empire? The imperial army attacked?" Ge Long couldn't help but say at this time.

"So the plan for now is to delay!" Lu Yuan's face condensed and he said, "Delay enough time for us to complete the army assembly!"

"Zhennanguan must withstand the Star Luo Empire's attack for a month. At the same time, during this month, Zhennanguan and the Principality of Hel must be emptied of all materials and personnel. After that, they must extend the supply line to the town. In the South Pass, we will cut off this supply line when the time comes..."

"The other side will have to spend time re-establishing its supply lines and taking over the Principality of Hel!"

"Tianyinghou..." Ge Long shook his head at this time, "You are too idealistic. If anything goes wrong, the price will be that we lose Zhennanguan and we will face the enemy if we are unable to assemble the army. Against the millions of soldiers of the Star Luo Empire!"

"So..." Lu Yuan said calmly, "To ensure the smooth implementation of this plan, I will personally go to Zhennanguan to help the empire delay these two months!"

At the same time, he circulated his soul power and shouted, "For the empire!"

The strong soul power came out of the body, and the three colors of blue, purple and gold circled up Lu Yuan's arm, turned into a huge magic sickle, and appeared in Lu Yuan's right hand.

But that's not the point.

The point is...

Emperor Xue Ye looked at the numbers one, two, three, four, five...seven, eight that circled out from under Lu Yuan's feet! Eight soul rings, eyes wide open.

The most important thing is that Lu Yuan's eighth soul ring is a soul ring as red as blood!

A hundred thousand year soul ring!

Lu Yuan's bright soul ring was for Emperor Xueye to see. After all, Ge Long and several military princes had seen Lu Yuan's hundred thousand year soul ring underground.

Only Emperor Xue Ye still didn't know that Lu Yuan had broken through to the Soul Douluo realm and that the eighth soul ring was a hundred thousand year soul ring.

"Your Majesty, I request you to go to Zhennanguan and buy two months for the empire to mobilize the army. If you fail, I am willing to die for the country!" Lu Yuan knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said to Emperor Xue Ye.

Contra is still a Contra with a hundred thousand year soul ring.

The most important thing is that Lu Yuan is still so young.

Contra, who is less than twenty years old, really needs a lot of courage to question.

What's more, Lu Yuan has always had a strong record. He was able to kill the high-level Contra when he was Soul Saint, so now he has been promoted to Contra.

Isn’t the fighting power...

Can you compete with a titled Douluo?

At the very least, it can't be worse than Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, right?

Of course, this refers to individual combat effectiveness.

"In that case..." Emperor Xueye took a deep breath, "It's accurate!"

"At the same time, due to the cumulative merits of Tianyinghou in several battles, Tianyinghou was granted the title of Grand Duke of Tianying, and he was hereditary for three generations. He was also awarded three Heavenly Dou gold medals." Emperor Xueye continued, "The Heavenly Dou gold medals can be ordered to Tiandou subjects other than the royal family can be exempted from crime once with a gold medal at the same time!"

Everyone present couldn't help but be surprised, because...this is the Duke!

A prince, a prince, a prince, a prince or a prince. Logically speaking, princes and dukes are actually of the same rank.

But basically, royal titles are not granted to outsiders. For example, the king of the Balak Kingdom, Kundera, is a descendant of the Tiandou royal family, so he was granted the royal title and fiefdom of the Balak Kingdom. After all, Kundera is still The cousin of Emperor Xue Ye.

Therefore, under the premise that people with different surnames are not allowed to be kings, the Duke is the limit of a courtier.

However, it is a pity that this duke is not hereditary, but will be demoted after three generations. However, according to the Tiandou Empire's demotion inheritance, Lu Yuan holds the power of the Sky Shadow Army, and will be demoted to a marquis at most in the future.

The most important thing is Tiandou Gold Medal. Tiandou Gold Medal has great power.

Usually when there is an emergency war, the emperor directly sends someone to take charge of the army. In order to facilitate that person to manage the army, he gives the gold medal.

Of course, there is also a pure honorary reward. For himself, his relatives and future descendants, even if he commits a serious crime, he can avoid death.

This also represents the greatest honor as a subject of the Tiandou Empire, especially three Tiandou gold medals.

But what everyone is guessing here is that one of the three Tiandou gold medals allowed Lu Yuan to force Marquis Senluo and the Senluo army to obey orders at Zhennan Pass, one was used to force the Grand Duke of Hel to evacuate his subjects, and the other was given to Lu Yuan's symbolic reward.

"Mr. Tianying, this is the time when the empire is in danger. Let's not discuss matters about your principality and fiefdoms for now." He said softly, "If we win this war, how about we discuss matters about the principality later?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Everything will be as your Majesty said!"

He doesn't care about these rewards. His goal is the entire Tiandou Empire, and even the entire Douluo Continent and Douluo World!

How could the so-called fiefdom of Tianying Principality make his heart surge more than Tianying Empire?

"Marshal Ge...immediately ordered the major kingdoms and principalities to assemble their forces. In one month, we will assemble in the Balak Kingdom. In two months, we will defeat the Xingluo Empire in front of Jialing Pass!" Emperor Xueye said with high spirits.

"At that time, the war will be jointly commanded by Grand Duke Tianying and Marshal Ge! Do you have any other opinions?" He looked at the ministers in the palace and asked.

Everyone was silent, and Emperor Xue Ye suddenly said, "Let's mobilize the army first. After defeating the Star Luo Empire, we can accumulate merit and reward!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" everyone said in unison.

Then everyone went about their own business.

Mobilizing an army is not that simple.

Lu Yuan also left the main hall, preparing to use his space ability alone to quickly go to Zhennanguan to take charge and help the Tiandou Empire delay the two months of gathering troops.

…

At this time, the mobilization of millions of troops in the Star Luo Empire will also take time.

In fact, for the Tiandou Empire and Lu Yuan, it was not a delay of two months, but a delay of one and a half months.

After all, even for the Star Luo Empire, it would take time to mobilize an army of millions.

Like Gao Zhong's previous attack on Zhennanguan and the mobilization of an army of 300,000, it was nothing to the Star Luo Empire.

Therefore, the secret reports from the Tiandou Empire in the Star Luo Empire were not sent back in time, but now that millions of troops are being mobilized, it is different.

Even if the Star Luo Empire wants to conceal the news, the supplies, baggage, and mobilization of a million-strong army cannot be concealed.

The supply lines and baggage troops of a million-strong army require mobilizing resources from the granaries and arsenals of major cities.

It is not like the supplies and baggage of the 300,000-strong army last time. The mobilization of one or two cities is enough.

So this time the news was sent back to the Tiandou Empire, but the Star Luo Empire had nothing to do.

At this time, Emperor Xingluo no longer wore the emperor's regular clothes, but put on a heroic armor. The thin armor made of hundreds of refined steel, layered like the hair of a tiger.

At the same time, the armor was coated with a layer of platinum paint, and on both shoulders were two ferocious tiger heads.

Dai Qingxiao has not felt this kind of surging feeling in ten years. This time he once again put on the white tiger war Mingjia that he used to fight on the battlefield when he was young, and he suddenly felt much younger.

Because the blood born of war was surging in his veins.

Seeing the army gathering in front of him, he was very excited.

"Your Majesty..." Beside him, a mature beauty wearing a black tights grabbed his hand.

This is the current queen of the Star Luo Empire—Zhu Lanxi.

This time Dai Qingxiao went on a personal expedition, and the reason why the queen also followed him was naturally because the emperor and empress of the Star Luo Empire were one and the same.

Only when Dai Qingxiao and Zhu Lanxi are together can they activate the martial soul fusion skill - Netherworld White Tiger, and now they are both Contra-level powerhouses.

The power exerted by their spirit fusion skill Netherworld White Tiger is even more powerful than some low-level titled Douluo.

"Xi'er, we haven't been on the battlefield for a long time..." Dai Qingxiao said with emotion.

"Yes, it has been more than ten years..." Zhu Lanxi said with a smile, "I just don't know if Your Majesty and I have become unfamiliar with our skills over the years."

"Haha...how could it be? You and I have not neglected our practice and training these years." Dai Qingxiao's eyes were full of ambition.

"This time we will conquer the entire Tiandou Empire!" Dai Qingxiao said, "Unify the entire continent!"

"Your Majesty's wish is Xi'er's wish!" Zhu Lanxi responded.

"Send the order! The army must be assembled within three days. After one month, I want our royal family's flag to be planted on the head of Zhennanguan City!" Dai Qingxiao shouted domineeringly.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" The two generals of the Star Luo Empire responded in unison.
