Chapter 480 Shadow Stream Token

Douluo calendar year 2649, August.

In the past few years, the Douluo Continent has been in a state of flux, and the originally peaceful situation has undergone turbulent changes. First, there was a riot of spirit beasts in the Star Dou Forest, and then during the tripartite talks between the Spirit Palace, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Palace Breaking with the Tiandou Empire, he not only withdrew the important Spirit Hall of the Tiandou Empire, but also declared that he would no longer interfere in matters between the two empires.

Then in this year, not only did the war between the Tiandou Empire and the soul beasts break out, but the Star Luo Empire also mobilized a million troops to march directly to the borders of the Tiandou Empire.

Under such a situation, even the continent-wide high-level soul master competition that was supposed to be held every five years and was held last year was not held.

Lu Po stroked the black scythe in front of his knees. The shadow-like soul power flowed and circled like ink. His temples were soaked with sweat, and the crystal sweat fluctuated like his soul power.

He looked at the sun rising slowly in the distance. Dawn had ended, and a more intense scorching sun was about to come.

He never thought in his life that he would one day become a soul master, and even followed Lu Yuan to become a general who went into battle to kill the enemy.

But just as Lu Yuan said in front of them, becoming a soul master comes with a price, and the biggest price you can pay is to sacrifice your own life.

There were 185 clansmen who joined the Shadow Stream Army back then, but now only 139 clansmen are still in the Shadow Stream Army. Not all of the 46 clansmen who left the Shadow Stream Army were killed. On the battlefield.

Only thirty-two tribesmen died one after another in the Battle of Zhennanguan and the impact of the wave of soul beasts. There were also fourteen tribesmen who were unable to continue on the battlefield due to severe injuries such as amputated limbs and paralysis, so they finally chose He returned to Tianying City and was responsible for raising and teaching the younger generations of the Lu family like Su Yuntao.

But even so, the cruelty on the battlefield still made Lu Po and others deeply aware of how costly it was to become a soul master.

If they are not careful, their life will be extinguished, and everything in the world will have nothing to do with them.

And precisely because they were aware of this cruel price, Lu Po and the remaining members of the Shadow Stream army trained desperately hard during this period.

Even though the war with the Soul Beast had just ended, none of the remaining one hundred and thirty-nine members of the Shadow Stream Army relaxed. Like several other armies, they instead rested in place after the battle.

Because they knew that in two months there would be a more brutal large-scale war waiting for them - an all-out battle between the two empires.

Therefore, during this month, many people in the Shadow Stream Army continued to practice and train to improve their strength as much as possible. They wanted to survive!

Survive the brutal war that follows!

Lu Po was not surprised, but he not only wanted to survive, he also wanted to become famous, and become a peerless general famous in the mainland like the Marquis!

Maybe even Lu Yuan himself doesn't know that his reputation has spread throughout the Douluo Continent, and his name is even used by adults to scare children in the Star Luo Empire.

To put it simply, his name can make children in the Star Luo Empire stop crying.

Lu Yuan's name in the Star Luo Empire is simply the incarnation of the God of Death and the Demon King. It is also rumored that he likes killing people for fun, is cruel and irritable, and takes the hearts and livers of children as food every day.

Of course, in the Tiandou Empire, Lu Yuan was a true young hero. He was talented, intelligent, brave and righteous. He became famous at a young age, and he was willing to protect his family and the country at all costs. He even defeated the Star Luo Empire's 400,000-strong army with less than 200,000 soldiers. , and at the same time personally beheaded the famous Overlord General of the Star Luo Empire.

In this era when there are few forms of entertainment, these stories can be told at people's dinner tables for a long time.

Therefore, Lu Yuan's reputation is now known to everyone in the entire continent, and his prestige in the Tiandou Empire can be said to be both prestigious and prosperous. Countless young people in the Tiandou Empire regard him as their idol. With.

Lu Po is also one of them, and no one admires his own prince more than him. He is even willing to follow Lu Yuan's shadow. He does not want to be as famous as Lu Yuan throughout the continent, but he also wants to become a leader of Lu Yuan's subordinates in the future. The general whose name was called!

With such ambition, he gritted his teeth again, clenched the Shadow Scythe in his hand, and stood up again...

And just then...

"It seems you've had a good rest." A very familiar voice from Lu Po made him turn around in surprise.

"Master Hou!" Lu Po looked at Lu Yuan's figure and said with surprise on his face, "You are back from the front line."

Lu Yuan did not bring Ning Rongrong with him this time because Ning Rongrong had other important matters - gathering supplies for the Tianying Army.

Don't get me wrong, although Lu Yuan is responsible for the subsequent guerrilla strategy and the operation to cut off the supply lines of the Star Luo Empire, Emperor Xue Ye is not stingy about food, grass and baggage, leaving Lu Yuan to prepare it himself.

After Emperor Xue Ye was rescued by Dugu Bo, he immediately ordered Qian Renxue to distribute grain, grass and baggage from the empire's granary to Lu Yuan based on the standard of 30,000 troops including 5,000 horses fighting continuously for a month.

This standard can be said to be beyond the standard. After all, Lu Yuan only brought 5,000 Royal Knights and 10,000 Sky Shadow Army for this battle, but Emperor Xueye issued it based on the standard of 30,000 troops for continuous fighting for a month.

However, Ning Rongrong felt that this was not enough. As Lu Yuan's direct army, the Tianying Army was already small in number. Coupled with the two wars, it was reduced to only 25,000 soldiers. .

So she wanted to bring more sophisticated weapons and supplies to the Tianying Army. Anyway, she now has three soul guides that can store two hundred cubic meters of supplies - this is what Lu Yuan used in three days after returning to Tiandou City. A one cubic meter storage soul guide was produced.

These three soul guides are two sachets and a ring. They can be carried casually.

Not only these three soul guides, Lu Yuan also increased the storage space of the soul guides of Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, and...

"I just came back from the front line not long ago." Lu Yuan nodded to Lu Po, "You guys have had a good rest this month."

"We have rested." Lu Po said with a serious face, "You can follow the Marquis to the battlefield again at any time! The clansmen are really looking forward to it when we go to the battlefield again!"

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Lu Po's eagerness to go to the battlefield surprised him.

After all, they have seen the cruelty of the battlefield. Even many tribesmen died in the war. Shouldn't they feel afraid and sad?

But he wouldn't ask any more questions, after all, this was what Lu Yuan had agreed with them before.

Even if they are unwilling, they accepted Lu Yuan's previous conditions and became soldiers. They must shoulder the responsibilities of soldiers and go into battle to kill the enemy. As for any timidity or cowardice, they should not have any emotions.

"That's good." Lu Yuan said with a chuckle, "Now is the time when the army needs to go to the battlefield again, but this battle may be different from the past..."

"It's different..." Lu Po was stunned for a moment.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, "I will tell you about this later. The most important thing now is to gather the army. At noon today, 10,000 Sky Shadow Army will gather at the hunting ground of the Royal Knights!"

"Yes! Lord Marquis!" Lu Po responded immediately.

"By the way, and here's this for you." Lu Yuan smiled slightly, then waved his left hand, and suddenly a shadow quickly rushed towards Lu Po.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Lu Po stretched out his hand to firmly grasp the flying shadow. Then he opened his hand and took a look and found that it was a token.

This token is made of jade, with blood red and dark blue colors all over its body. These two colors seem to be alive, entwining and circling inside the jade token. In addition, the reverse side is a blue, purple, and gold three-color token. The gorgeous magic sickle has a strong and powerful character - Shadow on the front.

"This token is a soul tool. I actually wanted to make it into a ring, but that one is really difficult for me to get." Lu Yuan shrugged, "In addition to indicating your identity as a Shadow Stream Army, this token also has It just contains a hundred cubic meters of storage space, but it can’t store living things.”

This is Lu Yuan's brand new attempt. Different from the previous one where he just expanded the storage capacity of the soul guidance device based on the original soul guidance device, this is a new soul guidance device that he directly created using a piece of high-quality jade.

Just because it was completely shaped by Lu Yuan's soul power, this soul guide was infused with the two powers contained in the Death Star Scythe - the power of the Death Star and the power of shadow, so it took on the dual colors of blood red and dark blue.

In addition, it was his own idea to carve his Death Star Scythe and the shadow representing the Shadow Stream on the front and back of the token.

Moreover, perhaps because the token is infused with a trace of the power of the Death Star, this token also seems to have the ability to gather life energy. However, the energy it can condense into is not arcane energy in the end, but the most basic soul power in this world. .

But even so, the soul master carrying this token has the ability to speed up his own cultivation.

This was an unexpected surprise. Lu Yuan didn't expect this token to have such an effect when he first made it.

It's a pity that he doesn't have much time, otherwise he would really like to make such a token for each of his current pro-army shadow streamers to speed up their soul power cultivation.

Lu Po didn't know about this additional function yet, but even a soul guide with a hundred cubic meters of storage space surprised him.

He immediately raised his hands to Lu Yuan and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis! I will definitely live up to the expectations of Lord Marquis. I will be loyal to Lord Marquis in my life and kill the enemy with my life!"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to be so polite. I plan for everyone in the clan to prepare one of these tokens in the future. You just need to use them a little earlier than other clan members."

"But you don't have to worry. By that time, your soul tool token will be replaced with a better one." He added, fearing that Lu Po would be mentally unbalanced.

He had actually had this idea for a long time. In the future, let alone seeking to usurp the throne and become the supreme king of the mainland, just by being content with his duties, the Lu family would become stronger in the future.

At that time, there will definitely be divided into direct line, collateral line, direct lineage, and direct lineage. The tribesmen with strong talents and the tribesmen with ordinary talents will definitely have different resources and status. At this time, tokens will be used to distinguish identities like the Wuhun Temple. Division level.

This is not that Lu Yuan is unfair, but that the world is the way it is. Just like that sentence, although he hopes that the world is fair and free, the facts tell him that the world is unfair and not free.

In the end, people will be divided into levels, but Lu Yuan hopes that this level is not based on family background and bloodline, but on ability.

This will be the case even for his descendants in the future. Heirs with insufficient abilities cannot have an identity that is far superior to others just because they are his descendants.

At that time, the token will be a symbol that divides the abilities of the Lu Yuan people.

But Lu Po didn't have any strange thoughts at all. He still said, "This is what the Marquis rewarded Po. Po doesn't dare to have any dissatisfaction."

He knew very well that everything he had now was given by Lu Yuan, so how could he be dissatisfied?

"Okay." Lu Yuan didn't care, although he was very optimistic about Lu Po.

After he asked Lu Po to assemble his army, he turned around and left.

Lu Po, on the other hand, rested for a while, then went back to his room, put on his military armor, took the token, and headed to the Tianying Army garrison.

…

Noon time soon arrived.

The Royal Hunting Ground is located fifty kilometers southwest of Tiandou City.

The hunting grounds have varied terrain and a vast area. It is a place where royal personnel hunt and train.

The Royal Knights of the Tiandou Empire all wear bright silver armor of light.

This kind of thick plate armor has extremely strong defense, and even their mounts are carefully selected Heavenly Soul Horses with a certain bloodline of soul beasts. This kind of horse itself has no offensive ability.

But it is extremely fast, carries a huge load, and has extraordinary endurance. It has always been the best choice for cavalry.

The horse is also covered in armor, and coupled with the weight of the knight and the bright light armor, it can't affect the speed of this horse at all.

Although it had not long gone through a great battle, the Royal Knights had also suffered a lot of losses. A full division, or five thousand elites, had been killed, and several other divisions had suffered heavy casualties.

But even so, the Royal Knights still maintain daily training,

At this time, outside the hunting ground, two figures slowly came outside the hunting ground.

"Who is it?" A five-man team of the patrolling Royal Knights quickly drove to the gate of the hunting ground. The leader of the team shouted before they arrived.

After all, no civilians are allowed to approach on weekdays. Ten thousand people from the Royal Knights are responsible for patrolling, guarding, and training here.

However, as soon as they arrived in front of the two figures, the leader of the team immediately had a look of fear on his face. He immediately got off his horse and knelt down on one knee.

Before several of his colleagues could react, he was kneeling on the ground.

"For your humble position, please see General Tianying!" The corps commander said directly and respectfully, "I don't know that the general is currently in a position to miss his welcome. I am guilty of my humble position!"

The visitors were none other than Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong. Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. You are not guilty. By the way, which division are you from?"

"The junior corps commander of the 18th Battalion of the Third Division - Dean! I have met the general!" The corps commander immediately announced his family name.
