Chapter 455 The Divine Dragon Protects the Country (1)
Outside Zhennang Pass, the Star Luo Empire's army approached Zhennang Pass again.
Just one day passed, and the battlefield became lively again.
This time, almost all of the Star Luo Empire's millions of troops were mobilized. The fastest light cavalry, solid heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, and a large number of infantry were all arrayed and slowly advanced forward.
Although the army was large in number, they were slowly pressing forward in an orderly and orderly manner.
However, both empires knew that these legions were not the main force in attacking the city.
The Star Luo Empire wants to attack Zhennanguan Pass, which is what the Tiandou Empire is happy to see.
Lu Yuan, Ning Rongrong and Marquis Senluo all came directly to the city wall and looked at the Star Luo Empire army approaching again.
Lu Yuan's face was extremely serious. The Star Luo Empire had been attacking the city for four consecutive days. Not to mention the ordinary soldiers of the Zhennanguan garrison who had not had a good rest, even he, Ning Rongrong and Marquis Senluo had hardly stepped off the city wall.
Why do you say almost?
Because Lu Yuan is responsible for the migration of people in the Principality of Hel. He is the busiest one in Zhennanguan. If he uses Source Control to leave Zhennanguan, he will be responsible for the migration of citizens of the Principality of Hel.
Ning Rongrong and Sen Luohou had never left the Zhennanguan city wall and had been waiting here without even having time to sleep.
However, soul masters are all unique beings who can use soul cultivation to replace sleep, so in comparison, even if they have not had a good rest, their energy and spirit are still much better than ordinary soldiers.
And because of this, they should shoulder a heavier responsibility, so there is nothing praiseworthy about staying on the city wall and taking charge of city defense.
This is what the ruling class of a country and nation should do, instead of being reduced to the point where fulfilling one's duties is the criterion for measuring its quality.
Lu Yuan and others didn't think anything was wrong. Even in the past four days, they were not only
but……
Lu Yuan turned his eyes and looked at the many Zhennan Pass defenders on the city wall. They stood up slowly with half-open eyes. Many of them were even trembling and had to be supported by weapons to stand up.
How much fighting power can they have in such a situation?
But Lu Yuan and Sen Luohou had no intention of blaming them.
These soldiers guarded Zhennanguan for four consecutive days, and even rested and ate on the city wall. Even Lu Yuan and Marquis Senluo took out a lot of ingredients to stew several rich meals. Reward the soldiers who guard Zhennanguan.
But even so, in the face of the continuous sieges from the Star Luo Empire, and under such circumstances, no one could sleep and rest peacefully on the city wall.
The defenders of Zhennanguan were always on edge. They would be awakened by the slightest disturbance at any time and could not rest at all.
Exhaustion is perfectly normal in this situation.
but……
How long can they hold out against the incoming Star Luo Empire army?
Lu Yuan and Sen Luohou, the two commanders-in-chief of the Zhennanguan garrison, both felt their hearts sink.
But they were helpless. Even though Lu Yuan was now extremely powerful, the other party didn't give him a chance at all.
Except for the Star Luo Empire army that came up to attack the city, the rest of the army was scattered. Even if he used terrifying large-scale killing soul skills like the previous times, he would only be able to kill or injure an army of 10,000 to 20,000 people.
Even if the death star's true form expands the range of the soul skill tenfold, the corresponding lethality is not as high as the shadow incarnation blessing, and it can only annihilate the ordinary army of the Star Luo Empire of 20,000 to 30,000 people.
This is of little significance at all, and it consumes Lu Yuan's soul power extremely. The most important thing is...
If the Xinghuang Shatter is used to attack the Xingluo Empire army attacking Zhennanguan, with the power of Xinghuang Shatter, the Zhennanguan city wall may be destroyed again.
Once the city wall is destroyed, it will be full of pressure to defend Zhennanguan.
It can be said that the Star Luo Empire's marching formations were full of calculations against Lu Yuan, making it impossible for him to defeat the Star Luo Empire's army even with his powerful strength.
Lu Yuan suddenly understood why the titled Douluo in this world were so powerful, yet they were still subject to the armies of the two empires.
A Soul Douluo like him, who has far superior killing power than ordinary Titled Douluo, would be disgusted by the Star Luo Empire and could not use all his strength.
What's more, those Titled Douluo who don't have a hundred thousand year soul skill with such a wide range and powerful lethality like Lu Yuan's Xinghuang Shatter, those Titled Douluo who don't have any means to restore their soul power and physical strength?
This is probably the wisdom of mortals. Even powerful beings are subject to their plans.
But... after all, this is because they are not strong enough.
If, like those extraordinary beings in other worlds, a single ultimate move could destroy a city, it would not be restricted at all.
In the final analysis, the power of Douluo Continent is too low-level.
Lu Yuan suddenly felt that he was still not strong enough. If he could activate Star Brilliance Break continuously, how could he bear this anger?
But there is nothing he can do. In the eyes of outsiders, he is actually very perverted, but he thinks it is not enough.
However, at this moment... the Star Luo Empire's army pressed forward until it was twenty miles away from Zhennang Pass before stopping. This time, the formation had undergone a huge change. The light cavalry were still on both sides. Bow and arrow ready, waiting quietly.
The Central Army at the front became an infantry corps dominated by heavy infantry.
All kinds of siege equipment were pressed up. The heavy cavalry was not in the center, but the ordinary infantry. Behind the heavy infantry on both sides were the Star Luo Empire Soul Master Corps and the Star Luo Empire Royal Knights.
The heavy cavalry was at the very rear of the entire Star Luo Empire army.
The fierce murderous aura rushed straight to Zhennanguan.
"They have changed their formation!" Senluo Hou said with a surprised look on his face.
This was different from the previous four days when all the 500,000 civilian soldiers were mobilized.
Today, all the elite legions of the Star Luo Empire were marched to Zhennan Pass!
However, they were still extremely dispersed and were obviously on guard against Lu Yuan's large-scale killing skills.
"It seems... they have noticed that our army is already low in morale, physically and mentally exhausted, and in poor condition due to the high-intensity defense of the city for several consecutive days..." Lu Yuan said with an ugly expression.
The Star Luo Empire's siege in the past few days has entirely used half a million temporarily recruited civilian troops as consumables.
This was used to kill the mental state and numbers of the Zhennanguan garrison.
And their elite army has been waiting for work, waiting for the time to move.
On the fifth day, they seemed to feel that the time had come, so this time they planned to defeat Zhennanguan with one blow and attack and capture the first majestic line of defense of the Tiandou Empire!
To put it bluntly, this kind of war that hurts people is the most unexplainable.
The Star Luo Empire has now sacrificed the lives of 600,000 troops to capture Zhennang Pass.
And there are only 200,000 defenders in Zhennanguan, which the Star Luo Empire cannot afford!
"Then what should we do now..." Ning Rongrong pursed her lips and asked.
"At this time, we can only stick to this path!" Lu Yuan said solemnly.
"Kill——" The Deathblade General Wang Qianren shouted in a deep voice behind the civilian army with less than 300,000 soldiers left.
The charging Star Luo Empire army accelerated. Looking from the air, the Star Luo army rushed towards Zhennang Pass with a force more turbulent than the river.
Soon, the Star Luo Empire army rushed forward.
"Welcome the enemy." Lu Yuan shouted.
The Zhennanguan garrison immediately started moving, even though they still felt very tired!
Immediately afterwards, Sen Luohou, Ning Rongrong and Lu Yuan all directly joined the battlefield.
"Possessed by the martial spirit!" Senluohou directly summoned the martial spirit.
Eight soul rings circled at his feet, showing his identity as a Contra.
Then I saw Lord Senluo duck out of the way, and in an instant, the dozens of Star Luo Empire soldiers who had rushed up exploded and died!
"Those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish!"/"When the nine treasures turn out, there will be glass!"
At this time, Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong also shouted at the same time.
Along with the murderous words, the three colors of blue, purple and gold gathered in Lu Yuan's hand and turned into a huge scythe like the god of death.
The gem-like nine-color light gathered in Ning Rongrong's hands and condensed into a nine-story glazed pagoda, making Ning Rongrong's body covered with a layer of precious light at this moment!
At the same time, Lu Yuan circulated the power of arcane energy and shadow, and the thin armor of blue and gold was attached to every part of his body, even his face was covered by the armor, "Shadow Secret! Shadow Armor!"
"Witness the rolling wheels! The pinnacle of unclean creation!"
The blood-red light shone on the entire Zhennan Pass. Lu Yuan was instantly covered by the blood-red light from the Death Star Scythe. The Death Star Scythe in his hand and the black braid behind him that was exposed outside the shadow armor were quietly untied. , all turned into the color of blood!
In the Death Star incarnation form, Lu Yuan in this state has a "blood-sucking" bonus based on a percentage of his soul power level, and using the giant scythe to sweep can increase the lethality by an additional percentage of his soul power, and at the same time, the sharp blade can cause a range of forced knockback. Effect!
The so-called "blood-sucking" is to continuously absorb other people's physical energy and even... vitality, and turn it into one's own physical energy and vitality.
"I'm with you!" Lu Yuan shouted.
However, this sentence can no longer boost morale much, and the defenders of Zhennanguan are very tired.
But even so, they still fought to the death.
"Second Soul Skill! Death Shadow Clone!" Lu Yuan instantly created a second shadow clone. This shadow clone was the same as Lu Yuan's original body, and first guarded Ning Rongrong.
Then his body spun in mid-air, like a bloody top, using his body to drive the Death Star Scythe in his hand.
"The spinning scythe sweeps across!"
The bloody Death Star Scythe quickly spun out of the hand and flew towards the siege vehicles and siege ladders at the front of the Star Luo Empire army!
Sawdust and torn flesh were flying, but...
The killings continued, especially when the Star Luo Empire army attacked the city this time with ordinary soldiers.
Lu Yuan was killing as crazily as possible. With Ning Rongrong's assistance, he was killing at an astonishing speed!
"The Nine Treasures are famous! The second one says: Hurry!"
"The intestines are pierced and the belly is rotten!"
"The Nine Treasures are famous! The third one says: Attack!"
"I'm unstoppable!"
"Nine treasures are famous! One is: Power!"
"We all rush to our destruction without hesitation! How wonderful!"
"The number one soul skill! Death Star Destruction Slash!"
…
The killing continued, but even if Lu Yuan became red-eyed, the troops coming from the Star Luo Empire seemed to be endless!
Flesh and blood were constantly flying, and the flesh and blood flying in the air were not just the Star Luo Empire soldiers killed by Lu Yuan.
There are also the Zhennan Pass defenders...
They were so exhausted that they had not had a good rest for four consecutive days. Even though their hearts were full of fighting spirit, they still lacked the strength.
They are human beings after all, bodies of flesh and blood, not immortal bodies of steel.
Lu Yuan had conducted research in modern science in his previous life. If humans did not sleep for 24 hours, the work efficiency of the whole body would be reduced by 60%. If they were not rested for 48 hours, the work efficiency would be reduced by 80%.
And if you don't get a good rest for 72 hours, that person's organs will suffer irreversible failure.
Under this situation, the Zhennanguan garrison was constantly being killed by the Star Luo Empire army that climbed up.
Some of them had their weapons split open the moment they fought each other - they were so exhausted that they didn't even have the strength to hold their weapons.
An hour passed...
Lu Yuan's eyes turned red, but looking around, he saw that except for the soul master generals of the Senluo Army, the defenders above Zhennang Pass were all Star Luo Empire troops!
"It's not good..." Senluohou said bitterly, using his first soul skill to kill four soldiers from the Star Luo Empire who came up to attack him.
"But..." he said with a stiff smile, "protecting our country and dying on the battlefield is an honor for us warriors!"
Senluo Hou directly burst out with powerful force, killing more than a hundred Star Luo Empire enemies who were surrounding him!
"Hahaha! Come on! Cats of the Star Luo Empire!" He was killing without reservation!
…
And outside Zhennanguan.
Wang Qianren, who was in the center of the Star Luo Empire army, looked at the situation on the city wall and his eyes suddenly sharpened, "It seems it's time!"
"Everyone! Pass my order!" he shouted.
"The Tiger Roar Army, Star Luo Royal Knights, Death Blade Army, Crazy Lion Cavalry, Blood Wolf Cavalry and other heavy cavalry regiments are preparing to attack Zhennan Pass!"
"Be sure to keep the formation loose to prevent the enemy's powerful souls from using large-scale destructive soul skills!"
"We must win Zhennan Pass in this battle, and we must not let go of the enemy generals Senluo Hou Ilusen and Tianying Hou Lu Yuan!"
"Furthermore, His Majesty has decreed that anyone who can capture Lu Yuan will be granted the title of Count of the Empire. Anyone who captures Lu Yuan with all his strength will be promoted to the first rank, and everyone will be rewarded with a bottle of wine. Anyone who kills Lu Yuan will be granted the title of Viscount of the Empire. The general who led the army to surround and kill Lu Yuan will be promoted to a higher rank, and the rest of the soldiers will be exempted from their clan taxes for half a year!"
"Go! Prepare to launch a general attack!" Wang Qianren waved his hand and shouted.
"Yes! General!" All the Star Luo Empire generals and heralds present responded with burning eyes and cupped their hands.
Immediately afterwards, the elite army of the Star Luo Empire, which had been waiting for work at the rear, suddenly started to move.
