Chapter 472 Great Gift丨Letter
"Lu Yuan disappeared again?" Wang Qianren went up to the wall of Zhennanguan and found that no one was there. He frowned immediately.
"General, we really can't find a single enemy soldier, even..." A general came to Wang Qianren, clasped his fists and said, "Except for Zhennan Pass itself, there is no trace of anyone!"
Mad Lion General Renn also jumped up. He came to Wang Qianren and asked, "How is the situation now?"
"There are indeed no Zhennan Pass defenders on the city wall now, and even traces of their existence seem to have been completely wiped out." Wang Qianren said.
"Did he really abandon the border and escape?" At this time, Renn couldn't help but believe Lu Yuan's previous statement.
"It's impossible to escape so fast, right? Even if Lu Yuan is a top powerhouse and can evacuate very quickly, what about those Zhennan Pass soldiers?" Wang Qianren asked, "Most of them are ordinary people. Even if they abandon the barrier and flee, how far can they escape in one day and one night?"
"Instead, they relied on Zhennanguan to possibly survive. How could they escape?"
This was what Wang Qianren suspected, but he never expected that Lu Yuan's fifth soul skill, Source Control, could create a stable space shuttle tunnel that could transport space over a long distance and in a wide range.
"In my opinion, the reason why they are still hiding in Zhennan Pass is because they know that they do not have enough troops to withstand our attack from the front. Even if Lu Yuan is one against ten thousand on the battlefield, he cannot A way to block all our armies at the same time." Wang Qianren said, "That's why I came up with this idea and decided to ambush us in Zhennan Pass, hoping to survive!"
"This does make sense, but in any case, the fact that they avoid fighting directly shows their guilty conscience." Renn said word by word with piercing eyes.
"That's right, and by doing this, we can gain some advantages." Wang Qianren nodded and said, "Seize this hard-won opponent's mistake, and we may occupy the Nanguan Pass of this town!"
"Then let the strong man lead the team and go explore the road first." Ren said, "After all, it's getting late now."
Watching the setting sun gradually appear on the horizon, Wang Qianren frowned and said to the immediate general beside him, "It is getting late, so we must be more careful. Send soldiers to follow me down to Zhennan Pass according to the original plan. Detect the situation carefully and be careful! Be careful of enemy ambush!"
"Yes!" The general glanced at the ten teams of one hundred elite soldiers behind him, and immediately the elite soldiers, totaling a thousand people in total, followed.
"You!" Renn immediately looked at his direct army, the Wild Lion Cavalry, and said, "Send a thousand people as well, and follow me down to see the situation in Zhennan Pass!"
They are all strong Contra warriors and can handle even if they encounter an ambush, so it is only appropriate for them to go down first to investigate the situation.
"Everyone else, stay here and sound the horn if anything happens!" Wang Qianren ordered to the rest of the Star Luo Empire army.
"Yes! General!" Several generals responded with clasped fists.
Then two thousand-man armies followed the two peerless generals of the Star Luo Empire in an orderly manner, descended from the city wall, and entered the main body of Zhennan Pass.
They divided into two groups, looking for possible traces everywhere.
They walked into the school grounds and military camps at Zhennanguan and found that there was really nothing here.
Not to mention the human figure, there is not even a trace of human life left here.
For example, in a school ground where the army gathers and trains, there should be weapons representing majesty or some stone sculptures decorating the school ground.
But there is nothing here, let alone these things, even the school grounds are empty and open, with no wooden or iron doors at all.
However, facing the houses in the school grounds, Wang Qianyan and Renn were extremely cautious, "Be careful of these places to prevent enemy troops from raiding!"
"Yes!" All the soldiers were extremely cautious and even avoided those houses.
Ren looked at the huge building in front of him and said coldly, "If there is an ambush, it will be here! I'll go in and investigate! Even a titled Douluo can't do anything to me here, let alone a small sneak attack!"
But having said that, he still summoned the spirit to possess him, and suddenly a strong golden light suddenly burst out from his body. His arms stretched to both sides at the same time, his chest stood up, and his bones crackled for a while, and his muscles suddenly expanded. , even the armor on his body was held up.
His hands also turned into lion-like claws, each claw was like a blade, eight inches long, shining with a cold light.
The next moment, Ren used his soul power with his sharp claws and slashed with double energy, breaking open the building in front of him, and he rushed in directly.
The moment he rushed in, he was filled with vigilance.
However……
When Renn broke in, nothing happened.
Not only Ren's side, but also Wang Qianren's side had already explored every corner where an ambush might be hidden, but no one was attacked.
"Did they really leave?" Wang Qianren murmured to himself.
At this moment, a squad leader quickly came to him and said, "Report——! General! Suspected granaries and armories where baggage and weapons are stored in Zhennanguan are found ahead!"
"Granary and armory?" Wang Qianren immediately paid attention to it. After all, food and baggage can be said to be the most important materials for troops to fight.
Without enough food and baggage, even if you have a million troops, you will be defeated.
Therefore, food and luggage are the top priority!
Countless classic battles in which a small number defeated a large number all resulted in the defeat of the army at the front because food and baggage supplies were cut off.
but……
Although it was a granary and armory, it was also likely the location of a large number of enemy ambushes.
So Wang Qianren suddenly became cautious.
He was not as arrogant as Ren En, after all, both Lu Yuan and Marquis Senluo were missing.
Lu Yuan's terrifying strength could not even be dealt with by Dai Qingxiao and Zhu Lanxi's Netherworld White Tiger, let alone him.
"Send the Tiger Roaring Army down immediately and guard these two places with heavy troops!" Wang Qianren said solemnly to the immediate general, "Remember, it's the Tiger Roaring Army!"
"Yes!" The immediate general immediately turned back to the city wall and brought the more elite Tiger Roar Army here.
Wang Qianren looked at the huge building in front of him. The building was obviously in the style of a standard granary. There was a plaque hanging in front of the door with the word "Granary" written on it.
Under Wang Qianren's order, the Tiger Roar soldiers divided into two groups and surrounded the granary here and the armory on the other side. They also held their weapons high and watched the granary and the armory vigilantly to prevent the inside from entering. An ambush suddenly arose to attack them.
"Open the door." Wang Qianren ordered to the ten forwards in front of him.
"Yes!" Immediately, the ten strikers held standard spears and directly punctured the wooden granary door.
The granary door opened instantly, but...
To their surprise, the granary was empty, not a grain of rice was there.
There is not even fine sand or camphor wood to prevent the grain from getting wet and deteriorating. There is not even a grain of grain in the granary.
The same is true for the armory on the other side. Not to mention standard weapons, there are not even weapon racks to place weapons.
The key is……
Wang Qianren looked at the traces of burning on the ground inside with an ugly expression. The reason why the granary was so empty was because Zhennan Pass burned all the materials that could not be taken away when Zhennan Pass abandoned the pass and fled. ?
The armory on the other side seems to be the same...
However, Wang Qianren and others were relieved, because there was nothing, and the empty granary and armory meant that there was no way to hide.
"It seems that they really abandoned the barrier and ran away!" Wang Qianren's eyes flashed sharply and he snorted coldly, "But even if you run away, how far can you run!"
There are tens of thousands of troops, and even if there are tens of thousands of horses in Zhennan Pass, how many of those horses are the hard-earned horses that travel thousands of miles?
As for the Star Luo Empire's army, whether it is Ren's direct army Mad Lion Cavalry or the second blood wolf cavalry, the mounts equipped are all elite BMWs with the blood of soul beasts!
If you can run again, can you outrun them?
"Let's search the situation in the city first and let the army come down." Wang Qianren immediately relaxed his vigilance and casually ordered.
However, suddenly, on the other side of the army, "Boom——!"
A huge explosion struck instantly, and then, visible to the naked eye, thick black smoke rose from the armory on the other side.
A feeling like an earthquake hit, and even many ordinary soldiers on Wang Qianren's side were shocked to the point of ruptured eardrums and bleeding.
"Is there still an ambush?!" Wang Qianren, as a powerful Contra, was not affected in any way. After all, Contra's physical fitness is here.
Moreover, the power of this explosion did not reach the level of the strongest blow at the Soul Douluo level. At most, it was... the strongest blow from a powerful Soul Saint.
"Enemy - attack - enemy - attack -!" But he still ordered loudly and seriously, "Get ready to meet...!"
However, at this moment, behind him, without any warning, a huge light spread...
The huge explosion spread again, blasting the granary and the surrounding Star Luo Empire soldiers into the sky.
A few seconds later, Wang Qianren, who had no injuries but was disfigured by the explosion, walked out of the thick smoke, "Ahem...what is this?"
…
The other side.
Lu Yuan, who had settled down in King Balak's capital, looked far in the direction of Zhennanguan Pass, but he definitely couldn't see the smoke lingering in the sky from the explosion of gunpowder in Zhennanguan Pass.
After all, there is still the Principality of Hel between the Balak Kingdom and Zhennan Pass. With hundreds of miles apart, even Lu Yuan, who has the same Purple Demon Eye as his third brother, cannot see the scene there.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Counting the time... I wonder if the Star Luo Empire has received this great gift from me?"
"By the way... is the gunpowder really so powerful?" Ning Rongrong said curiously.
"It's just so so, it's just ordinary black powder after all." Lu Yuan shook his head.
He is not as powerful as his third brother. He has memorized the gunpowder formula of the so-called Tang Sect's top hidden weapon - Buddha's Fury Tanglian. At most, he read too many time travel novels in his previous life and memorized the formula of gunpowder: one sulfur, two nitrates and three nitrates. charcoal.
The simplest black powder can be made by mixing sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal in equal proportions.
Sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal are easy to obtain in this world. After all, there are soul masters. The most difficult thing to obtain is sulfur, which is just something that fire attribute soul masters can easily pick up in volcanoes.
The power of black powder is limited, but even black powder can explode with huge power as long as the amount is sufficient.
Lu Yuan asked the Barak Kingdom to prepare tens of thousands of kilograms of black gunpowder, and distributed two traps under the granary and armory at Zhennanguan. As long as they stepped into these two places, tongues of fire would be triggered to ignite everything under their feet. Five thousand pounds of black powder.
Ten thousand kilograms of black gunpowder explodes. Even if the explosive power of black gunpowder is not particularly powerful, it is enough to blow up a small mountain.
In the Douluo world, it is probably equivalent to the effect that Soul Saint's most powerful ten-thousand-year-range soul skill can produce.
That is to say, under the most ideal situation, there is no problem in killing nearly 10,000 ordinary people.
"Black gunpowder... I have never heard of this thing before." Ning Rongrong said, "And it doesn't require any difficulty to explode with huge power... It's really..."
"This is not so powerful..." Lu Yuan said with a smile, "Rong Rong, you have never seen a weapon that can destroy a city with one blow and turn all life within a hundred miles into dust. Woolen cloth……"
"This...even a titled Douluo can't possibly achieve this level, right?!" Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes shook as she said in disbelief.
"That's right..." Lu Yuan scratched his head. It is indeed difficult for Douluo Continent's Titled Douluo to achieve the destructive power of a nuclear weapon.
Even level 100 gods may not be able to achieve the terrifying destructive power of nuclear weapons in their previous lives, but if they continue to become stronger and advance to the true god or super god levels, they may reach this level.
But Lu Yuan is not among this list. Just think about it, he can annihilate tens of thousands of armies in one blow just at the Contra level. When he reaches the title Douluo level, maybe this won't be enough.
But what about after reaching the pinnacle of Douluo? Even reaching the peerless Douluo level?
It can only be said that high-level power such as arcane energy is too overwhelming in the world of Douluo...
And just then...
"Cuckoo, coo, coo" A tamed half-soul beast carrier pigeon landed in front of the window where Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong's room was.
"This is... Qingqing's carrier pigeon?" Ning Rongrong said curiously.
Lu Yuan waved his hand and took the picture of the carrier pigeon. He naturally recognized the carrier pigeon.
This was a homing pigeon of half-soul beast blood that he cultivated during the three years he was in Tianying City to deliver messages.
Although it is a little behind, there is really no other way but to convey information in this way.
Ning Rongrong also recognized that this was a carrier pigeon delivered by Lu Yuan's sister, Lu Qingqing.
Lu Yuan casually took off the letter from the carrier pigeon's feet, opened it and looked at it, then his expression changed drastically.
