Chapter 489 The Eve of War

"See Your Majesty..."

At this moment, Dai Qingxiao hurried forward, came to Ren's bed, and said, "General, no courtesy."

Not only Dai Qingxiao, but also Queen Zhu Lanxi also came to visit with him at this moment. There is no doubt that this is a great honor.

In particular, Dai Qingxiao asked Ren to exempt himself from the ceremony, but...

He looked at Ren's left shoulder, which was wrapped in a bandage and was empty, and couldn't help but show a trace of regret in his eyes.

In the low-level fantasy world of Douluo Continent, severed limbs cannot be reborn. Even if your cultivation level is as strong as Sword Douluo and reaches level ninety-seven soul power, which is close to the ceiling of this world, it is still impossible to regenerate a severed limb. grow out.

Only like Tang San, under the influence of the protagonist's aura, using the special ability of the one hundred thousand year old Blue Silver Emperor soul bone and a corresponding soul bone, can a person regenerate a severed limb.

From the current point of view, the Star Luo Empire will definitely not be able to let Ren grow his left arm again.

In fact, Dai Qingxiao was lucky that Ren's left hand did not absorb any soul bones.

After all, in this world, soul bones are indeed rare. Princes like Renn, who are at the top of the Star Luo Empire, do not say that they can just take soul bones.

However, he did absorb soul bones, but he only had one soul bone, which was his right leg bone.

So how can we say he is lucky? If his left hand absorbed the soul bone, and Lu Yuan chopped off his left hand and lost the soul bone, his strength would definitely drop ten levels of soul power.

Although he had lost one of his hands now, his strength had not regressed and he was still a noble Contra strongman in the Star Luo Empire.

But even for a strong Contra player, when he lost an arm, his injuries were serious and he would definitely need to rest for a while.

However, a Contra-level expert can probably recover as long as he rests for a few days.

Although one arm is broken, the current Zhao Wuji and the Sword Douluo in the original plot can still fight even if one arm is broken.

But even so, Dai Qingxiao still had to show Ren the emperor's concern for his ministers.

In particular, Ren is the mainstay of the Star Luo Empire.

"The general is so seriously injured, it would be best to recover from his injuries." He said softly.

A forced smile appeared on Ren's pale, unshaven face, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Queen Zhu Lanxi behind Dai Qingxiao also said, "I happen to have a thousand-year-old blood ginseng that I have treasured for a long time. Now that General Mad Lion has been seriously injured for the empire, let's use this thousand-year blood ginseng to take good care of his body."

When Ren saw this, he couldn't refuse, but he said with shame, "I don't think much of your majesties. Not only was one of my arms cut off by the enemy, but I could only watch the enemy walk away."

This is indeed very embarrassing for a general.

Not only did he watch the enemy walk away, but he also lost an arm.

Dai Qingxiao took a deep breath. He actually felt that this matter was somewhat incompetent, but at this time he couldn't blame Ren.

What's more, he knew that the one who cut off Ren's left hand was none other than Lu Yuan, who could not even defeat the Netherworld White Tiger that he and Zhu Lanxi combined.

That does make sense.

He immediately said warmly, "General, why did you say that? This is not a crime of war."

"But I am very curious. Judging from the battle reports, it is the Royal Knights of the Tiandou Empire who have raided our supply army in the past month. But how did they do it?" Dai Qingxiao frowned and asked, "How? Did you come and go without a trace before?"

If it was said that this was done by Wuhun Palace, he would believe it 10% or even 90%, but this time he heard that it was definitely done by the Royal Knights of the Tiandou Empire.

He felt a little strange. After all, not all the Royal Knights of the Tiandou Empire were soul masters. If not all of them were soul masters, they could rob and kill the supply army and then disappear directly.

It's truly amazing.

If it were the soul master troops sent by Wuhun Palace, then all this would make sense.

For example, if the Wuhun Palace sends a thousand soul masters whose souls are birds of prey or have the ability to become invisible, it would be reasonable for them to kill people quickly and retreat quickly.

It only takes a thousand soul masters to attack and kill the Star Luo Empire's supply army as quickly as an elite army of 10,000, and using the special abilities of martial souls or soul rings, they can also disappear without a trace.

And only Wuhun Palace can have such an army of soul masters. It is difficult for the two empires to pull out such an army of soul masters.

This is also why the Star Luo Empire was suspicious of Wuhun Palace at first.

Now Lu Yuan and the Tiandou Royal Knights attacked the Star Luo Empire's supply army for the last time, without any intention of hiding it, and also let the Star Luo Empire army know that they were responsible for the looting of food and grass in the past month. Dry.

So Dai Qingxiao was very curious about how the Tiandou Royal Knights did it.

Ren witnessed everything Lu Yuan did that day, and he suddenly said in a deep voice, "It's Lu Yuan. His martial spirit can actually control the power of space, and his fifth spirit ring should have given him a very powerful spirit." Space teleportation skills.”

He still vividly remembers the scene where Lu Yuan disappeared with five thousand Tiandou Royal Knights after the Death Star Scythe cut through the space and opened the space portal.

It's just that he may have misunderstood. Lu Yuan's Death Star Scythe does not have the natural ability to manipulate the power of space, but the power of his Death Star can destroy space.

Destructibility and manipulation are never the same thing.

Lu Yuan's space teleportation ability came from the Origin Bead of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Part of the Evil God's ability to manipulate the origin of the world was condensed into a skill and given to him.

But the source of the power is not important. What is important is that Lu Yuan does have such power.

Dai Qingxiao and Zhu Lanxi were shocked when they heard this.

The ability to teleport across a wide range of space is a subversive setting for anyone on Douluo Continent.

In Douluo Continent, no one has ever been able to do this kind of thing, even according to rumors, no one can do it.

And no one among them has ever been able to do this, including those peak Douluo with soul power above level ninety-five, and even the three peerless Douluo have never done this.

In fact, among the three peerless Douluo, Bo Saixi has done this kind of thing in the original plot, but she has to rely on her identity as the high priest of Poseidon and the power of Poseidon to teleport people within Poseidon Island. .

From this point of view, as long as you become the spokesperson of the gods in Douluo World and have a deep connection with the gods, you can do this with the power of the gods.

So in this world, both Qiandaoliu and Bo Saixi have the ability to teleport through space.

However, on Douluo Continent, few people know about the existence of gods and the secret of becoming a god at level 100, let alone the ability to be the spokesperson of gods.

Dai Qingxiao's eyes twitched, "Then Lu Yuan can actually move thousands of soldiers in an instant? This kind of ability is impossible even for the Bone Douluo, who is known as the weirdest title Douluo on the mainland, right? "

"No..." Ren took a deep breath and said, "The Tiandou Royal Knights have a total of five thousand people this time, so Lu Yuan can teleport away five thousand people in an instant, and his use of space ability is definitely better than that. Bone Douluo is even more powerful!"

Bone Douluo can escort at most a dozen people through space teleportation, so it is true that Lu Yuan's space teleportation ability is far more powerful than Bone Douluo.

The Star Luo Empire actually has soul masters who can manipulate the power of space, such as the student from the Star Luo Royal Academy who competed in the continent-wide advanced soul master competition, and the soul master who escorted Dai Qingxiao and Zhu Lanxi away from Zhennan Pass not long ago. Holy.

They are a family of soul masters in the Star Luo Empire, the Mirror of Martial Soul Reflection.

Although it is an agility and attack-type martial spirit, it can control space.

Therefore, they will basically absorb a type of soul beast when two soul rings in different positions are separated, allowing them to have two soul skills that can be teleported through space.

But no matter which soul skill they have, it is impossible to directly teleport over a large area. This is simply unbelievable.

Reflecting Mirror The most powerful soul saint in the Li family can only use his strongest space teleportation soul skill to teleport up to five people over long distances.

The soul skill with a relatively weak effect can only achieve short-distance spatial teleportation, similar to Xiao Wu's teleportation soul skill that allows him to jump around at will within tens of meters.

Judging from the battle report and Renn's description, Lu Yuan's space teleportation ability can not only teleport thousands of people, but it is not the kind of short-distance teleportation.

Even the transmission distance is definitely more than several miles (several kilometers).

Otherwise, in the ancient battlefield with an unobstructed view, if there were no sandstorms or the like at that time, if it was only teleported for a few miles, it would be impossible to "come and go without a trace" directly.

The effect of this teleportation soul skill is simply terrifying to the extreme, beyond common sense.

"If Lu Yuan were like this, wouldn't he be able to sneak into the back of our army or even the middle army directly through space teleportation, and start an assassination or beheading plan?" Dai Qingxiao said in a deep voice.

In fact, Lu Yuan had also thought about this, but the key was that he needed to find out where Dai Qingxiao was, and the space portal was two-way.

And even if the Tiandou Empire sent detailed operations inside the Star Luo Empire, it would be impossible to get the exact location of Dai Qingxiao.

After all, he is the supreme leader of a country, and his location is heavily guarded. If he cannot find his location accurately, he will be attacked from both sides.

Now it is impossible for Lu Yuan to fight against hundreds of thousands of troops by himself. Even with the blood-sucking ability of the Death Star incarnation, this is unrealistic.

"Although Lu Yuan has never tried to do such a thing, you must be on guard against others. Your Majesty... you must be careful recently." Ren thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

If Lu Yuan could do this, he would have tried it long ago, so Renn guessed that his spatial ability must be limited.

But what if?

So it's best to be wary of the possibility of Lu Yuan doing this.

Dai Qingxiao nodded, and then he said in a deep voice, "Tell the guards that all the troops around me and the queen have been doubled recently. Once anyone suspicious appears, they are allowed to be killed on the spot!"

"Yes!" The leader of the guards behind him immediately responded.

"Mr. Mad Lion, you should also take good care of your injuries. Once your injuries are healed, you will still need the help of a general to attack the Balak Kingdom." Dai Qingxiao then said to Ren in a warm voice.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Ren said immediately, "I will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!"

…

On the other side, Lu Yuan took Ning Rongrong, the Tiandou Royal Knights, and the Tianying Army back directly...

Within Jialing Pass.

The four major kingdoms and many principalities have basically evacuated within this month, and have been temporarily resettled in several provinces in the directly controlled areas of the Tiandou Empire.

Even if there are still some people who have not yet evacuated to the Tiandou Empire, there is nothing they can do.

For the sake of the overall situation, we can only sacrifice these people who have not retreated to the territory.

As a general, you don't have to be ruthless and miss the overall situation for a small gain or loss.

The combined forces of the Kingdom and the Principality have also gathered in Jialing Pass.

The remaining 500,000 troops in Tiandou City also gathered in Jialing Pass.

Jialing Pass, the last fortress of the Tiandou Empire, actually plays a similar role to Zhennanguan, except that Zhennanguan protects many kingdoms and principalities under the Tiandou Empire.

Jialing Pass is an area directly under the protection of the Tiandou Empire. Similarly, after Zhennan Pass, there are kingdoms and principalities under the rule of the Tiandou Empire. After Jialing Pass, there are many provinces directly ruled by the Tiandou Empire.

From a distance, Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong had already seen the army that covered the sky and the sun.

But before that, facing the beast tide in the Star Dou Forest, Tiandou City had assembled an elite army of 700,000 to resist the soul beast tide, so Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong had already seen the big scene.

The assembled army of the Tiandou Empire did not scare them, but they did not know how many armies had been assembled this time.

But from this point of view, there is definitely no less than a million troops. After all, in addition to the 500,000 elites originally left in Tiandou City, the four major kingdoms, major principalities, and provinces also dispatched large armies here.

The crowded army was boundless, with flags hoisted and in good order. Tens of thousands of people marched forward on the vast plains, like a torrent of steel.

The heavy cavalry, both men and horses covered in thick armor, was in front of the army. On both sides were heavy infantry legions composed entirely of strong soldiers. In the center was the largest infantry army.

At least six light cavalry regiments galloped back and forth on the outside of the army, responsible for reconnaissance and scouting, guarding the center, and moving forward in a mighty manner.

Behind the army is a huge army of grain and grass troops. As the saying goes, before the troops and horses move, the grain and grass go first.

Logistics supplies are being transported continuously, and they look like civilians recruited from various provinces, kingdoms and principalities.

Lu Yuan had already learned in advance during previous discussions that the total number of kingdoms, principalities, joint forces, logistics supplies, and reserve troops mobilized by the Tiandou Empire this time would probably exceed two million.

Even the people of the kingdoms and principalities who were evacuated to the areas directly under the Tiandou Empire were recruited by the empire as laborers to transport food and grass on a work-for-relief basis.

And this is also the largest number of troops that the entire empire can support.

After all, it is one of the only two major empires on the Douluo Continent. Although the Tiandou Empire cannot compare with the Star Luo Empire in terms of military strength, it is still not weak in terms of national strength.

Just like the ancient Song Dynasty against the northern regime in Lu Yuan's previous life, the Song Dynasty was indeed unable to defeat the northern regimes such as Jin, Liao and Yuan, but you cannot say that the Song Dynasty had no money.

On the contrary, compared with Yuanzi, my Song Dynasty will not be weak to fish people.

After years of accumulation, the strength of the Tiandou Empire was undoubtedly demonstrated at this moment.

You know, an army of more than one million consumes astronomical amounts of food and grass every day.

To equip this army, one can imagine the national strength of the Tiandou Empire. It is worthy of being a great empire that has stood on the mainland for many years.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional at this time, Qian Renxue's ability to govern was so strong.

You must know that Qian Renxue was responsible for gathering this army and transporting food and grass within a month.

There were so many things to do in this month, but Qian Renxue successfully completed the task.

It's a pity that she is not the real "Xue Qinghe", otherwise Lu Yuan would be in trouble in a short time.

After all, it is not that easy to overthrow an empire that has ruled for tens of thousands of years.

If the emperor and his successors were not guilty, the resistance they would face would be very great.
