Chapter 452 Lord Shenlong

In an instant, the thousand-meter-long city wall in front of Nanguan City spread across the entire town, like a child playing with mud, and was reshaped into an almost complete appearance. Although it was compared to the original city wall that was carefully built brick by brick. , the restored city wall looks very rough.

But this earth-shaking, almost divine method still shocked both sides on the battlefield!

This kind of method is nothing more than the work of gods, right?

Lu Yuan stood there, even though all the soul power in his body was exhausted.

In fact, it wasn't just the soul power, Lu Yuan even felt that half of the arcane energy he had just plundered in his body had disappeared.

Just now, Source Control mobilized arcane energy to achieve everything in front of him.

Otherwise, not to mention that Lu Yuan's soul power is exhausted, even if Lu Yuan is directly squeezed dry, he will not be able to do such a thing.

Therefore, Lu Yuan's soul power was completely consumed at this moment, and half of his arcane energy was directly consumed.

But he did not fall because of this. The arcane energy plundered by the Death Star Demon Scythe was quickly converted into soul power, replenishing the depleted soul power in his body.

However, the soul power was consumed in an instant, and the use of source number control consumed a lot of mental power, which made him feel a little tired both physically and mentally.

So Lu Yuan stood there, his face looking extremely cold.

This was not intentional on his part, it was because he was physically and mentally exhausted to the extreme and had no strength to make any more expressions.

But the expressionless look on Lu Yuan's face at this moment actually made the Zhennanguan garrison on the city wall look at him with a feeling of awe and horror from deep in their hearts.

It's not that the Zhennanguan garrison wasn't in awe of Lu Yuan before that.

But at this moment, the fear they felt towards Lu Yuan was as if they were looking at a god with awe and fear!

People must maintain reverence and distance from gods!

Lu Yuan did not notice the change in the Zhennanguan garrison's attitude towards him, but after recovering a little soul power, he came to Ning Rongrong's side.

The shadow clone disappeared in an instant directly after his soul power was exhausted.

"Rongrong, are you okay?" Lu Yuan looked at the pale Ning Rongrong and asked.

Ning Rongrong leaned into his arms and nodded reluctantly, "I'm fine."

Lu Yuan took advantage of the situation and injected a burst of arcane energy into Ning Rongrong's body. Ning Rongrong's face instantly looked much better, and she was a little surprised.

"This is……"

"My fifth soul ring has little ability." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

Marquis Senluo also consumed a huge amount of soul power at this time, but it had not been completely exhausted yet. He came to Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong.

"Duke Tianying, what a trick!" He couldn't help but sigh.

"Now the opponent should have no way to continue to attack the city. All their siege equipment has been destroyed." Lu Yuan shook his head indifferently and said, "But in this battle, the opponent should have seen the secrets in our Zhennan Pass. It’s false and true, so the opponent’s next attack is bound to be even faster!”

The casualties suffered by the Star Luo Empire this time can be said to be the largest siege battle, even greater than the previous two casualties combined.

It caused at least more than 400,000 casualties to the army. Lu Yuan's Shadow Collapse was not as lethal as Xinghuang Shatter in terms of damage, but its shadow erosion effect coupled with the subsequent fall from Zhennan Pass, and Lu Yuan's use of the source Several commanders buried the remaining tens of thousands of troops alive within the city walls.

This time the casualties caused to the Star Luo Empire were even greater than before!

Such heavy casualties would undoubtedly have a huge impact on morale. In addition, the city wall of Zhennanguan has been restored, and it is impossible for the Star Luo Empire to continue launching attacks.

If they continue to attack, the Star Luo Empire will collapse first.

Presumably, with Dai Qingxiao's excellent military command ability, he would not let the Star Luo Empire army continue to forcibly attack the city.

"Yeah..." Senluo Hou suddenly looked solemn, "There is still half a month. How can we defend Zhennanguan for this half month?"

In the next half month, the Star Luo Empire can plan at least two sieges. How can Zhennanguan defend the city twice?

In this battle, the Zhennan Pass defenders, who had suffered almost no casualties before, also suffered huge casualties.

Although the number of casualties is not higher than that of the Star Luo Empire, if viewed in proportion, the casualties on both sides are almost the same!

But Zhennanguan can’t always be like this and spend so much time with the Star Luo Empire...

Moreover, we managed to do so reluctantly this time. Can we ensure that we can do this next time?

but……

After all, with Lu Yuan here, although they thought it was impossible to defend, Lu Yuan led them to create three miracles, and defended Zhennang Pass three times with the weak against the strong.

So even though he thought it was difficult to defend, Marquis Senluo still thought that what if he could defend?

Now they have no choice, because defending Zhennan Pass is the order of Tiandou Empire's entire strategy, and it is impossible to stop fighting just because they can't win on the battlefield.

Unless the whole city surrenders directly, but how is this possible?

In particular, the generals of the defense were Senluohou and Lu Yuan. They were both pillars of the empire who were deeply favored by the Tiandou Empire.

Moreover, their family and friends are still in the Tiandou Empire's capital.

How could someone be favored by the empire, have their whole family still in the imperial capital, and then surrender to the enemy country?

This not only tells the whole continent that he is an unfaithful person, but also an unfilial person. Such an unfaithful and unfilial person will be shamed by others, even if he has great righteousness.

What's more, if it is just to save lives, even if it means saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city, soldiers and soldiers, it cannot be regarded as occupying the righteousness.

Being unfaithful, unfilial, and unjust will lead to a bad reputation in this round, and everyone will despise him.

Therefore, even if every soldier is exhausted, Zhennanguan must be defended.

"Order the army to take turns to rest, deal with the casualties, and calculate how many troops we have available..." Lu Yuan shook his head and said.

"Yes." Senluo Hou nodded, and then immediately shouted, "The whole army will obey the order, count and deal with the casualties of the comrades, and then rest in place, divided into three rounds, first..."

Marquis Senluo gave the order directly and orderly, while Lu Yuan supported Ning Rongrong and went down from the city wall first.

…

Star Luo Empire army.

Commanding the camp behind the army, Dai Qingxiao and others saw with their own eyes that the broken wall of Zhennanguan was like a child playing with mud, and it was directly restored to a slightly jagged appearance compared to the original.

"What is that?!" Queen Zhu Lanxi asked sharply.

Her eyes were full of disbelief. The scene in front of her was really unbelievable. It was something that could happen in this world.

Because in the world of Douluo Continent, destruction is not difficult. Just like Tang Hao in the original plot could destroy the city gate of Jialing Pass with one hammer, that was not difficult.

But if you ask Tang Hao to restore the destroyed city gate to its original state, Tang Hao will definitely not be able to do it.

To put it bluntly, the world of Douluo Continent is a very low-level world, and the use of power is more based on low-level destructive abilities. As for control and even creation, these must reach the god-level level.

Of course, gods are not necessarily required to do this. For example, among the three peerless Douluo in the original plot, Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi and Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu have both shown their great power of control and creation.

But none of them can demonstrate the ability of recovery and material transformation like Lu Yuan.

In addition to the power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, there is also the power from Lu Yuan's body that comes from arcane energy. Arcana energy is originally the supreme energy in the universe.

In the Odyssey universe, arcane energy can not only be plundered to destroy everything, but can also be used by astral forces to recreate everything.

Therefore, the original power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger combined with the supreme power of arcane energy created the powerful soul skill of Source Control, which directly points to the origin of the world.

Dai Qingxiao, Zhu Lanxi and others have never seen it... no, it should be said that they have never even heard of such a thing happening.

So they all froze in place.

"Your Majesty..." At this moment, the herald from the front line walked in quickly and knelt down on one knee.

He said in a deep voice, "The wall of Zhennanguan on the front line has been restored to its original state. The generals asked... if we... should continue to attack Zhennanguan..."

Dai Qingxiao and others came to their senses, and at this time, Deathblade General Wang Qianren and Crazy Lion General Renn both stood up, "Your Majesty! It is not appropriate to fight anymore!"

Wang Qianren said in an obscure voice, "Now there are no more troops at Zhennan Pass and all the siege equipment has been destroyed. If you want to rush up again, you need the supply troops to continue to build siege vehicles. After this time is spent, the enemy has taken precautions." , we lose more than we gain!"

Ren also said, "Your Majesty, the morale of our army is low at this time. If we continue to attack with force, I am afraid that the army will be dissatisfied. If we continue to attack with force, I am afraid that we will pay a greater price..."

"In this battle, the opponent's casualties are definitely not small. If we plan another attack later, the opponent may not be able to withstand it..."

After hearing this, Dai Qingxiao's face darkened, and then he took a deep breath.

"Okay, I know very well that the current situation is really not suitable to continue the attack..." He said calmly, "Then order the army to retreat, set up camp and rest, and we will discuss the attack on the city in the future!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Many Star Luo Empire generals responded in unison.

Soon, as Lu Yuan had guessed, the Star Luo Empire army retreated soon after seeing that the Zhennanguan city wall had been restored.

Like an ebbing tide, all the Star Luo Empire's hundreds of thousands of troops retreated.

…

Wait until the next day.

Marquis Senluo came to Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong with a serious look on his face, "Duke Tianying, Miss Ning."

After a day and night of rest, Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong needless to say have almost recovered.

When Ning Rongrong saw Sen Luohou's unhappy expression, he suddenly said worriedly, "Sen Luo Hou, are you... could it be that the Star Luo Empire army is attacking again?"

"Not really..." Senluo Hou shook his head, "It's impossible for them to launch an siege so soon just after the war. After all, the soldiers below are ordinary people and they can't recover so quickly."

Even if it is a siege that lasts for several days, it is impossible to continue the attack directly on the next day after a big battle.

Ning Rongrong didn't know much about the battlefield, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Lu Yuan's face was indifferent. He had guessed what Sen Luohou was going to say now, "Sen Luohou... how are the casualties of the army?"

"This is exactly what I came here to say..." Senluohou sighed and said, "In this battle, we killed nearly 50,000 brothers and seriously injured more than 20,000 brothers. All the 70,000 soldiers on the defensive were injured..."

"The men guarding the city gate are okay and not injured, so I plan to dispatch some of them to defend the city."

"But... we can only have 100,000 troops at most to defend the city..." Marquis Senluo said with a bitter smile, "The Star Luo Empire, in return, they still have 400,000 elite main battle troops, and they have also recruited them Three hundred thousand civilians from the baggage troops served as frontline soldiers."

Seven hundred thousand versus one hundred thousand...

The situation has become so bad for Zhennanguan that it is difficult to defend it.

Lu Yuan also felt that it was very difficult. Yesterday, he was actually forced to a dead end. He just wanted to give it a try and finally defeated the Star Luo Empire.

But if he does it again, the other party probably won't give him a chance to do it.

Therefore, Lu Yuan now feels a bit forced to the edge of the cliff...

but……

"For the current plan, I don't have a good solution, but we have to learn from the Star Luo Empire at this time..." Lu Yuan said solemnly.

"You mean..." Senluohou's eyes lit up.

"That's right, young men from the Principality of Hel will be recruited as soldiers..." Lu Yuan said.

This is a temporary conscription, mobilizing the young men in the principality for war, which is the so-called capture of young men.

"Now is not the time to talk about humanity and inhumanity. The empire is in trouble, and the young and middle-aged men of the Principality of Hel must answer the call to protect their family and country even if they are unwilling!" Marquis Senluo nodded.

Lu Yuan frowned, "You can't force it."

"My opinion is..." he said, "If there are three young adults and above, father and brother, or two father and son, the father should be conscripted as a soldier; if there are two brothers, the elder brother should be conscripted as a soldier; If there is an only child and one of the two parents has to support him, there is no need for taxation."

"That's okay." Senluohou thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

…

At this time, on top of a high peak.

"Gather thousands of violent winds into one punch!" The graceful figure stood high on the top of the mountain, shouting and punching!

Under her, there were hundreds of people dressed in rough linen, with bald heads or neatly shaved short hair, like ascetics.

And in this Soto city, they have a name called "monks".

The believers and monks behind her all yelled and punched at the same time, and the fierce punch was intimidating.

With that graceful figure taking the lead in practicing boxing, everyone listened to the melodious but solemn teachings of the graceful figure, and seemed to really see the divine dragon who mastered the storm personally giving instructions to them.

As they shouted, they felt that their bodies were getting stronger!

"Silence is like dark clouds pressing down on the environment, and movement is like a raging hurricane!" The graceful figure retracted its last fist, then exhaled a breath of turbid air, ending today's practice.

"Silence is like dark clouds pressing down on the environment, and movement is like a raging hurricane!" All the monks exhaled a thick breath at this time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." All these monks immediately put their hands together and saluted respectfully to the graceful figure in front of them.
