Chapter 493 Going deep behind enemy lines (1)

Suddenly, they heard that Lord Gale had also proposed to send troops to assist Lu Yuan in completing the raid mission.

Marquis Liehuo, Marquis Xuanwu, Marquis Senluo and others all looked at Marquis Gale in surprise at this moment.

Since when did even Lord Gale Feng side with Lu Yuan?

Among the five major military lord families in the Tiandou Empire, the most decadent family is undoubtedly the Flame General Yan family. There is not even a Contra in their family.

Therefore, in the courts of the Tiandou Empire, many nobles and aristocratic families whose ancestors had offended wanted to destroy and annex them.

If it weren't for Lu Yuan's support, the Liehuoyan family would not be as calm as they are now.

In addition, the Xuanwu Shi family and the Senroy family are actually not as beautiful as they appear on the surface. Just like the Jia family in "A Dream of Red Mansions", they are beautiful on the surface, but in fact they are bitter on the inside, which no one can say.

Especially in the past hundred years or so, there have been many new talents in the Tiandou Empire.

Ge Long is a good example. Although he is also a general from a noble family, he actually got to where he is now from being a child of a small family.

Generally speaking, there are only so many positions at the top. If a rising star rises and occupies the position of marshal, the original person will have to give up the resources that should be controlled by them.

Therefore, the Yan family turns out to be so dangerous.

The families of Marquis Senluo and Marquis Xuanwu were not much better.

This is also the reason why Marquis Xuanwu and Marquis Senluo showed favor to Lu Yuan.

However, among the five major military noble families, there are always those whose power has never declined.

That is Fengwu General Anjia and Gale Wind General Jijia.

The reason why the Fengwu An family's power has never declined is because in the hundreds of years they have inherited titles, they have won a second titled Douluo.

And the current Fengwu Marquis Andrew is very powerful. He is the strongest among the five military lords, and the Fengwu army is also quite elite.

More than ten years ago, during the war between the Tian Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, there were only a few Tian Dou Empire armies that could compete with the Star Luo Empire's army, and only a few of them achieved military success.

Among these few people, in addition to Ge Long, the Nine-Life Marshal who is as famous as the three famous generals of the Star Luo Empire, there is the contemporary Fengwu Marquis Andrew.

Therefore, the power of the Fengwuhou family has never declined, and there is no need to grovel and be loyal to anyone.

Of course, they would not deliberately turn against powerful forces like the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect.

The same is true for the Hayate family.

Although they did not produce another titled Douluo like the Fengwu Hou family did more than two hundred years ago, they have made great achievements in battle in recent years.

After all, the Storm Legion is an army of light cavalry, and it is easy to get advantages in high-mobility combat.

Therefore, Marquis Gale's military exploits were quite outstanding, no less than Marquis Andrew of Fengwu.

It is precisely because of this that he, like Andrew, should not choose to take sides.

But now... the Marquis of Gale Wind is actually the same as the Marquis of Liehuo, Marquis Xuanwu, and Marquis Senluo...

This surprised them.

Lu Yuan looked at Lord Gale at this moment, and saw Lord Gale bowing his hand to him, "Duke Tianying, this time I will repay you for your life-saving grace on the battlefield last time."

Suddenly, he understood.

Lu Yuan looked at the sincere eyes of Lord Gale, nodded, and said with a smile, "That would be disrespectful."

Now he can see the character of Gale Lord Ji Luobu. He is a person who repays kindness but is a bit awkward.

"I am also doing it for the empire's plan." Lord Gale said in a business-like manner.

"For the empire." Lu Yuan nodded and said with a smile.

"In this case, Duke Tianying will be responsible for the task of raiding the enemy's food and fodder." Ge Long said, "It is best not to have too many people this time. Soldiers and horses are more valuable than fines."

"That's right." Lu Yuan nodded, "So this time I only plan to dispatch a thousand people to attack with me. In addition to the four hundred people sent by each of the four generals, I will also select six from the Royal Knights and the Sky Shadow Army. Hundreds of elite soldiers form one team to surprise the enemy."

"Yes, then please leave it to General Tianying." Ge Long said, "But remember not to force it. The most important thing is the Duke's own safety."

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Marshal, please rest assured that I will not only ensure my own safety, but I will also try my best to ensure that everyone involved in this mission escapes intact."

He did have this confidence. If he wanted to lead people to retreat, it would be impossible for the Star Luo Empire, which did not even have the combat power of a titled Douluo, to stop him.

Maybe it's enough for Wuhun Palace to send someone.

"Very good, let's end this meeting." Ge Long waved his hand and said, "Dismiss the meeting."

…

In Jialing Pass, the school field where the Fire Army is stationed.

An elite pro-army force, all lightly armored and carrying several close-quarters weapons, was standing neatly in the open space.

These are all the children of the Yan family, each of them has the strength of the Soul Sect or above, and they usually hold the positions of soldiers and generals of the Fire Army.

At this moment, a hundred of them were specially concentrated into an elite army, waiting for the mission.

The leader of the general would be quite surprising - if he were seen by outsiders other than the Fire Army.

The general at the head was a woman with a graceful figure, hot and exquisite figure. Even the light armor that slightly concealed the curves of her body could not conceal the sexiness of the woman.

Those graceful curves, coupled with the fiery red high ponytail, are really like a ball of flame, igniting a fire in the heart of the man.

However, the woman has an extraordinarily cold pretty face. Although her pretty face is still beautiful, her brows are always furrowed indifferently, and her fiery red eyes are like icebergs, igniting the fire in people's hearts again. Instantly extinguished.

The most important thing is that this woman looks too young.

She looks like she is only twenty-two or three years old, and with such a beautiful figure and face, people are very suspicious of her identity as a general.

However, when the soldiers of the Fire Army next to them saw the woman, although they showed a bit of obsession in their eyes, there was no doubt or disdain in their eyes.

Because this beautiful woman who looks young, now has the cultivation level of a Soul Emperor, and is even more powerful. Even several highly respected young generals in the army cannot defeat her.

"Zhu Yin." At this moment, a familiar figure came over.

"General." Yan Zhuyin looked at Yan Xian in front of her. She was used to her career in the military, and she was also used to calling her father "general" in the army.

"What's going on? Is everyone ready?" Yanxian looked at the elite army of a hundred people behind her and asked.

"Basically correct." Yan Zhuyin said, "Everyone has had a day's rest, and all weapons and armor have been carried."

"That's good." Yan Xian showed a smile and said, "This mission is to show the style of my Yan family, for the honor of our Fire Army! For the victory of the empire!"

"For the honor of our Fire Army! For the empire's victory this time!" Suddenly, the hundreds of elite troops shouted in unison with excitement.

Yan Xian nodded, then he looked at Yan Zhuyin, smiled and said, "This time you fight side by side with Lord Lu Yuan, and you will be more close to Lord Lu Yuan and Miss Ning, do you understand?"

He originally proposed to involve the Fire Army this time just to get closer to Lu Yuan. The most important thing is that Yan Zhuyin and Lu Yuan were good friends before.

But Yanxian is someone who has been through this before, and he understands that no matter how good of a friend he is, he will eventually become a stranger once he loses contact with them.

During this period of time, Yan Zhuyin and Lu Yuan had less contact with each other, and this was not going to work.

Therefore, Yan Xian arranged for Yan Zhuyin to join this mission. Of course, he had no intention of letting Yan Zhuyin and Lu Yuan go further.

After all, Lu Yuan is now Ning Rongrong's fiancé and the future uncle of the Qibao Glazed Sect. Give him ten more courages and he would not dare to offend the Qibao Glazed Sect.

All he wanted was for Yan Zhuyin and Lu Yuan to remain good friends.

Although saying this, it seems that the friendship between Yan Zhuyin and Lu Yuan has deteriorated and is full of interests.

But this is how it is above the court. It is completely impossible to only talk about friendship without talking about interests.

This is also the awareness that Yan Zhuyin must have as a descendant of the aristocratic family. To enjoy the glory and wealth brought by the family, and to obtain the martial arts and talents inherited from the Yan family, he must live for the honor and interests of the family.

Yan Zhuyin pursed her lips. In fact, she really didn't understand the meaning of her father Yan Xian's words, but her father wanted her to get closer to Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong...

She was a little embarrassed.

Because since the competition ended, she seemed to not know how to deal with Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong.

That relationship has sprouted and grown, but her relationship cannot bear fruit.

Such a relationship can only be hidden in a dark corner and die prematurely.

But Yanxian will have to face Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong again...

She was afraid that she would really be unable to hide her feelings for Lu Yuan.

"Zhu Yin? Do you understand?" Yan Xian looked at Yan Zhuyin, sighed and said.

In fact, he also knew Yan Zhuyin's inner emotions. After all, Lu Yuan was so outstanding.

Lu Yuan's excellence made even men feel sad when they saw him, and worried that their sweetheart would be taken away from him.

So how could Yanxian not know what his daughter was thinking?

He also knew that Yan Zhuyin deliberately wanted to distance himself from Lu Yuan so as not to suffer the pain of lovesickness.

But now, Yan Zhuyin must get closer to Lu Yuan for the benefit of the family.

Although Yan Zhuyin is his daughter, in the face of family interests, she cannot miss opportunities because of selfishness and personal emotions.

"I...get it." Yan Zhuyin said softly.

"Okay, in that case, you go and meet Master Lu Yuan." Yan Xian nodded and waved.

"Yes! General!" Yan Zhuyin and the hundred-strong elite force of the Fire Army said in unison.

Yan Zhuyin immediately led them to the meeting point quickly. After all, they were only wearing light armor and they were soul masters, so they quickly disappeared on the school grounds.

"What a pity..." Yan Xian looked at the direction in which Yan Zhuyin disappeared and sighed, "If you are not the daughter of the Qibao Glazed Sect, Zhu Yin, you should be able to give it a try..."

In fact, even Ning Rongrong, the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, would have no problem. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's style has never been too overbearing.

It can be said that among the three sects in the past, the only one that acted more arrogantly was the Haotian Sect, which was the first sect in the mainland.

As for the remaining Qibao Glazed Sect and Blue Lightning Overlord Sect, their behavior has always been low-key and fair.

If Yan Zhuyin was the first to fall in love with Lu Yuan, then even the Qibao Glazed Sect would not forcefully seize love.

The key is that in Lu Yuan's emotional journey, it was Ning Rongrong who took advantage first.

Ning Rongrong met Lu Yuan earlier, showed love to Lu Yuan earlier, and later got directly engaged to Lu Yuan.

Under such circumstances, Yan Zhuyin's slow-witted temperament missed the opportunity.

otherwise……

It would be great for Lu Yuan to become his son-in-law, Yan Xian.

Yan Zhuyin didn't know that Yan Xian lamented this after she left. She just led a hundred elite people directly to the meeting place.

The place where they met was in front of the city gate on the southeast side of Jialing Pass. Before she could lead her troops to the city gate, she heard different footsteps coming from different directions.

Then she looked in those directions and saw a total of three hundred-man elite troops similar to the Hundred-Man Elite Army of the Fire Army coming this way.

Like the hundred-man elite force of the Agni Army, they all wore light armor, but they did not carry some close combat weapons like the Agni Army.

After all, they are all soul masters and do not need to wear armor to increase their defense like ordinary soldiers.

These light armors are just because they are in the army. Light armors are more of a long-range weapon to prevent enemies and to indicate their identity.

Moreover, their martial spirit is their means of attack. The offensive power of the martial spirit is comparable to that of weapons, so they go into battle lightly and do not need to bring any weapons.

The Fire Army carries weapons for close combat because their martial spirit is the Fire Bow, which is a long-range weapon. Although in close combat, the martial spirit cannot be used as a temporary weapon.

But it is better to use close-quarters weapons. Their close-quarters weapons are also very sharp. Although they may not be as powerful as weapons, they are far beyond the comparison of ordinary weapons.

When the time comes, in close combat, combined with their family's unique skills and the strong physical fitness of the archers, they will be able to exert unexpected lethality on the enemy.

This is also the characteristic of the Liehuoyan family among the five major military lords in the Tiandou Empire.

None of the other four major families have such characteristics.

Soon, the three elite armies behind the Agni Army quickly approached the city gate.

Two familiar figures led by one of the elite troops waved their thick arms excitedly when they saw Yan Zhuyin.

There is no doubt that the Xuanwu Army was led by the two brothers Shimo Shimo.

"Hey! Zhu Yin!" Shi Mo Shi Mo quickly came to Yan Zhu Yin excitedly and greeted him with a smile.

"Graphite, stone mill." Yan Zhuyin smiled slightly.

She still has a good relationship with the Shi brothers, even though she is an iceberg.

At this moment, the other two elite armies of a hundred people came to the Xuanwu Army and the Agni Army.

The leading generals all walked up to Yan Zhuyin and Shi Mo Shi Mo.

The middle-year general wearing light cyan armor suddenly smiled and said, "Hello everyone, I am the commander of the elite force of the Gale Cavalry this time - Ji Zhan."

Another middle-aged general wearing dark green light armor also said, "Hello colleagues, I am the commander of the elite Senluo Army this time - Yi Qing."

"Hello, seniors." Immediately, Yan Zhuyin and the Shi brothers hurriedly returned the greeting.
