Chapter 491 Vortex

Barak City, inside the palace.

The current owner of this palace is naturally not King Balak who has retreated to Jialing Pass, but the Star Luo Empire army who has occupied this place.

To be precise, it was Star Luo Emperor Dai Qingxiao and his Queen Zhu Lanxi who were personally conducting the expedition this time.

And in the largest palace of the royal palace.

The generals of the Star Luo Empire gathered here, dozens of military generals gathered together, but they all looked at each other in silence.

"I see..." Dai Qingxiao said as he sat comfortably on the throne, closed his eyes.

Then he opened his eyes suddenly, "Presumably, this plan must be done by Lu Yuan."

Suddenly, Queen Zhu Lanxi of the Star Luo Empire beside him and the generals of the Star Luo Empire below were a little confused.

Dai Qingxiao seemed to have noticed their doubts and continued, "This plan is really too bold and confident. Ordinary people would not have the courage to even put it forward, let alone implement it. If they don't have full confidence and confidence in themselves, Such boldness, no one can think of such a plan.”

Indeed, it is difficult for ordinary people to have the courage to directly give up one-third of the territory just to concentrate strength in exchange for a battle with the Star Luo Empire.

It can be said that the person who proposed this plan must be someone who is confident that he can lead the Tiandou Empire to defeat the Star Luo Empire army and take back all the temporarily abandoned territory.

As for the five major military lords of the Tiandou Empire, they had fought against the Star Luo Empire's military many times in the early years and suffered repeated defeats and defeats. They must not have such confidence that they could absolutely defeat the Star Luo Empire's army.

Even the Nine-Life Marshal Ge Long, who is as famous as Gao Zhong, Wang Qianyan, and Ren En, does not necessarily dare to say that he can definitely lead the troops to defeat the Star Luo Empire army.

Only a young genius like Lu Yuan, who is not afraid of tigers when he is born, dares to think of such a bold plan.

After all, he is not just a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He has never suffered a defeat since he led his troops into battle. In the first battle with the Star Luo Empire, he defeated General Gao Xia, one of the three generals of the Star Luo Empire. He was beheaded again.

Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed a strategy that only Lu Yuan has the courage to think of and execute.

"But this also shows that the previous information is not true."

At this time, Dai Qingxiao sneered again and said, "That snowy night in Dou Empire, with his timid and cautious temperament, just like the rotten dead wood and the withered bones in the grave, it is impossible for him not to be forced to a dead end. Choosing such a strategy is like fighting for one's life."

Although he and Emperor Xue Ye are not in the same age group, they are not close friends, and they have very little contact with each other.

But this does not prevent Dai Qingxiao from being familiar with Xue Ye's character, nor does it prevent him from despising Xue Ye's character and abilities.

He does have this capital to despise.

"Then Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Wang Qianren asked.

"Although their plan has the right time, place and people, with Jialing Pass at their back and the four great kingdoms in front of them, they can switch from defense to offense and from offense to defense at any time." Dai Qingxiao said coldly, "But …”

"It's not easy to give back what we got."

Although the Tiandou Empire risked its life and survived, the Tiandou Empire occupied the right time, place, and people. Whether the Xingluo Empire stormed Jialing Pass or withdrew from the four kingdoms, the Tiandou Empire benefited.

But even so, Dai Qingxiao was still confident that with the military strength and military quality of the Star Luo Empire, what could the Tiandou Empire do to them.

After all, more than ten years ago, when the two empires fought frequently, the Tiandou Empire was always the loser.

In other words, the Tiandou Empire has always been a prisoner of the Star Luo Empire. There is no reason why the Star Luo Empire should be afraid of a defeated general.

Even if the Tiandou Empire relies on Jialing Pass and can retreat immediately after defeat, as long as they continue to lose to the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Empire will definitely be able to swallow up the four original kingdoms and many principalities of the Tiandou Empire. Territory.

Although in this era, the most precious and majestic population of the four kingdoms' people had been immediately moved to Jialing Pass by the Tiandou Empire, even the empty territory was still valuable.

The worst case scenario is that the Star Luo Empire will move its people here - as long as the Star Luo Empire can withstand the next Jedi counterattack from the Tian Dou Empire.

"If you want to repel us and take back the four kingdoms, it depends on whether the Tiandou Empire has the ability!" Dai Qingxiao said coldly, "It is not advisable to attack Jialing Pass by force now, but they will take the four kingdoms If we take back the territory, we will definitely fight out of the city instead of holding on to Jialing Pass, so we can wait."

"Ren! This frontal battle on the plains is your strength, so you will be the commander-in-chief of the army. Is there no problem?"

Ren, who had broken an arm, still looked so heroic at this moment. He nodded immediately and said, "Yes! Your Majesty!"

"Death Blade, you will assist Ren and attack him head-on." Dai Qingxiao said to Wang Qianren again.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Wang Qianren said calmly.

"Also, in order to prevent the opponent from attacking our army's logistics supply troops in this war and affecting our army's food and grass supplies, we must be more careful about the transportation of supplies along the supply lines." Dai Qingxiao thought for a while and said solemnly .

"Then I will send four more light cavalry regiments to guard the logistics and supply troops." Wang Qianren said immediately.

"Not enough." Renn shook his head at this time, "The speed and individual strength of the attacking cavalry led by Lu Yuan are not comparable to those of ordinary soldiers. In addition, he has spatial ability, and he is unpredictable and unpredictable."

"If Lu Yuan personally leads the Tiandou Royal Knights to attack and harass them, but he and his army are stuck at Jialing Pass, waiting for us to run out of food and grass, and then attack again, then it will be difficult for us to retreat." He continued in a deep voice, "In addition, there is a vast plain area behind us. Once the army is defeated and pursued, we will have no way to escape on the plain..."

"In this case..." Wang Qianren frowned and said, "Then we can only use a plan to hide the truth."

"Using this current supply line as a cover, the empire will actually arrange for a supply force to secretly transport food and grass from another road." He continued, "It's just that this plan requires a lot of civilians. "

The Star Luo Empire's supply line was originally very long. The four major kingdoms also did not provide any food and grass to the Star Luo Empire, and the granaries were all empty.

Of course, it is not impossible for the Star Luo Empire to obtain food from the four kingdoms.

After all, the four kingdoms did not set fire to the jungle before retreating. The Star Luo Empire could obtain various prey and fruits from the forest.

However, the risk of obtaining food in this way is very high, and it is impossible for an army to hunt in the forest for food all day long.

Therefore, the supplies for the Star Luo Empire army must still be obtained from the Star Luo Empire itself.

From Yubeiguan to Lima Plain, the supply line stretched for more than a thousand miles. This stretched supply line was indeed prone to problems.

There is also a need for many civilian laborers to transport grain and grass. Now they are still trying to hide the truth from the truth, which is to double the number of civilian laborers to transport grain and grass.

This amount is indeed enough.

"It doesn't matter, pass my decree to the prince and ask him to mobilize another million civilians according to the plan!" Dai Qingxiao said to the leader of the guards on the side, "As long as this war can be won, let alone the four kingdoms, even We can also capture Jialing Pass, so we will do whatever it takes!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" The leader of the imperial guard immediately hurried out to wait for his return to the country to deliver the order.

"Next, be ready to fight at any time. The opponent is unlikely to choose to stick to Jialing Pass this time, and is likely to choose to take the initiative." Dai Qingxiao said.

"You should work hard and work hard next. If you can defeat the Tiandou Empire, then at that time, everyone will be rewarded based on their merits!" Dai Qingxiao said to the people below.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Wang Qianren, Renn and other Star Luo Empire generals all said.

…

"Boss! Rongrong!" As soon as he left the Chinese army camp, Shi Mo Shimo walked up to say hello.

In the army just now, they had a low status. They could only wink at Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong, but could not come forward to speak.

But once you come out from within, you can naturally do whatever you want.

Many young generals from the Tiandou Empire who came out from the side couldn't help but be curious when they saw that the Shi family brothers dared to take the initiative to greet Lu Yuan.

Not everyone knows that the Shi brothers were once teammates with Lu Yuan in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition. They are also considered to be people who have a relatively close relationship with Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan chuckled, looked at them and said, "It's only been two months since we last met, and you actually made a breakthrough."

Although the Shi brothers call Lu Yuan their boss and have been teammates with Lu Yuan for so long, they have not received any help from Lu Yuan, and they have cheats such as talent upgrades and faster training.

Therefore, their soul power progress is the slowest among the seven members of the original Tiandou Royal Academy team.

All these years, he has still been at the level of the Soul Sect. You must know that even the youngest Lu Qingqing has broken through to become the Soul King.

When they participated in the Continental Soul Master Advanced Competition together, the difference in soul power level between her and the Shi brothers was the smallest.

But now Lu Qingqing's soul power had broken through to level 55.

It can be said that the Shi brothers were under a lot of pressure.

And under this pressure, they finally broke through the fifty-level soul power.

Shi Mo chuckled, "Compared with the boss, we are still far behind."

Shi Mo also said, "Yes, yes, with the boss at the front, what we are doing is nothing."

Needless to say, Lu Yuan's cultivation level is not much to say. He is only eighteen years old and is already a Contra with level 84 soul power.

This speed of cultivation is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After all, Lu Yuan can not only cultivate soul power with arcane energy, but his cultivation speed is more than ten times faster than ordinary people, and he can also gain many adventures by virtue of his status as a time traveler.

The overabsorbed super-year-old soul ring, the two immortal grasses Lihuo Xingjiaoshu and Octagonal Black Ice Grass that were supposed to be Tang San's chance, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring—even the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Origin Bead that was supposed to escape were also absorbed. Laast caught it and was absorbed by Lu Yuan.

Not long ago, Qian Renxue gave him the heartbreaking red pill in order to save him, and the hundred thousand year soul ring that Xiao Wu wanted to die for.

That was why Lu Yuan had such terrifying cultivation and strength.

This is equivalent to the krypton gold boss adding cheats. The arcane energy is already very bad at accelerating cultivation, and he keeps plundering opportunities. This is simply not comparable to normal players like the Shi brothers.

"Even compared to Rongrong, we are far inferior..." Mo Mo said helplessly, "Rongrong has already broken through to the Soul Emperor level, and we have just reached the Soul King level."

Ning Rongrong smiled slightly, "You are already very good, just keep working hard."

When the generals of the Tiandou Empire nearby saw that Shi Shimo really started talking to Lu Yuan, they couldn't help but feel envious in their eyes.

After all, Lu Yuan is now the idol of young people in the Tiandou Empire, and his legendary experiences so far are enough to put Lu Yuan in the annals of history.

"Alas, I'm afraid the best we can do in this life is just to break through to the Titled Douluo..." Shi Mo sighed immediately and said.

Mo Shi rolled his eyes at him at this time, "Do you think it's that easy to break through the Title Douluo? We're afraid we won't even have a chance to break through the Title Douluo."

Even though they are top-level martial soul Xuanwu Turtles, it is indeed not that easy to break through the Titled Douluo.

Otherwise, their grandfather Xuanwuhou would not be just a Contra.

"Okay, maybe there is a chance?" Lu Yuan said with a slight smile.

"Let's talk about whether we should go to the city to have a cup of tea." Ning Rongrong noticed the surrounding environment at this time and looked at the gazes cast around her, she said immediately.

"Okay! No problem!" The two brothers Shimo and Shimo said in unison, showing the tacit understanding of twin brothers.

At this moment, Shi Mo was stunned for a moment, "By the way, where is Zhu Yin?"

Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong were both stunned for a moment, and then they saw Yan Zhuyin who was hesitant behind the Shi brothers.

Lu Yuan saw Yan Zhuyin's beautiful red eyes, and it seemed like there was a heavy rain inside.

He looked at Ning Rongrong beside him and suddenly didn't know what to do.

However, at this moment, Ning Rongrong smiled slightly and did not look at Lu Yuan.

She walked directly to Yan Zhuyin, held one of her little hands, and said with a smile, "Zhu Yin, what's wrong with you? Come on! Let's get together..."

Yan Zhuyin looked at Ning Rongrong, pursed her lips, and then said, "Okay..."

…

after a few days.

During this period, it seemed that the two empires had reached a consensus and neither of them personally attacked.

The Star Luo Empire did not send troops to attack Jialing Pass, and the Tiandou Empire did not send troops to take the initiative.

The two sides seemed to be in a deadlock.

The Tiandou Empire can remain calm because they have Jialing Pass as a support, while the Star Luo Empire can remain calm because they are confident that their former defeated generals cannot defeat them.

But the Tiandou Empire still had the advantage. After all, the Tiandou Empire's supply lines were within its own hinterland.

A force like the Star Luo Empire, which had few domestic soul masters and few top-level powerhouses, could not send powerhouses to bypass Jialing Pass and directly capture the Tiandou Empire's supply troops like the Wuhun Empire in the original plot.

Even if there is, it will be food delivery.

"How calm you are." Marquis Gale Feng couldn't help but say, "The Star Luo Empire is so confident, will we be the first to delay?"

In Jialing Pass, a meeting of high-level generals is held every day, which is different from the last general meeting.

Only Ge Long, Lu Yuan, the five military princes, the marshals of the four kingdoms, and many generals of the principalities can participate in this high-level generals' council.
