In the Grand Meeting Hall, His Royal Highness "Xue Qinghe", the core of the princelings, and the prince and grand master Ning Fengzhi said so. Other princeling nobles and officials all stood up one after another. (Some book friends may find it strange that the crown prince and grand master are

Isn’t the position purely an official position in the Eastern feudal era? Isn’t Douluo Continent a Western fantasy setting? But this is really not my fault. In the original text, both Ning Fengzhi and Tang San were granted the title of Crown Prince and Grand Master. This is the Third Young Master.

own settings...

And this is an imaginary background. Oscar is a foreign name, right? But there is also an Eastern name, and there are a lot of comments like the one before that said that I don’t distinguish between Chinese and Western. Why is Douluo Continent obviously a Western fantasy background, so what?

Will there be any? Go to the spa!

But the original text has Western and Eastern settings coexisting, so there’s nothing wrong with me writing it this way, right?

So don’t worry about such details, just think of this world as a co-production between China and the West.)

"I beg you to fight to the death! I will defend Tiandou City and Your Majesty to the death!" More than 70% of the princeling nobles said in unison.

The remaining 30%, 10% are the palace, the army is only the military princes and ministers of the imperial guard who are loyal to Emperor Xueye, 10% are the nobles and leaders of forces who have not joined any force - such as the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect, and the remaining 10% are the supporters.

Prince Xue Xing and the fourth prince Xue Beng’s nobles and officials.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Xueye was just a little confused, but not really confused. His eyes gradually became firmer.

"What Tianyinghou and Huanger said makes sense!" He said in a deep voice, "Whoever dares to retreat will be killed immediately!"

"In order to protect the tens of millions of imperial people in Tiandou City, we cannot leave Tiandou City!" He said, "Even if they are members of the royal family, anyone who leaves Tiandou City will not be spared!"

Emperor Xue Ye turned his head again at this time and looked at Lu Yuan, who was holding the Hell Blade and looking murderous. His eyes were full of meaning.

But before others could react, he said, "Tianyinghou has done meritorious service in admonishing, and is patriotic and loyal to the emperor. Although he behaves recklessly, his merits outweigh his faults, and he must be rewarded!"

"I confer Tian Yinghou as the prince's young protector, with a bounty of 100,000 soul coins and 3,000 fine jade, and he is allowed to enter the court without being praised or worshiped without fame!" (I think the whole set of swords and shoes went to the palace in three pieces, but it seems like

It’s not necessary. In this world, you use martial arts by yourself, and there is no such thing as wearing a sword. This seems superfluous, and there seems to be no setting for taking off your shoes to enter the palace, so I won’t do it!)

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Lu Yuan quickly put away the Hell Blade and bowed.

"I hope Tianyinghou will be loyal to the empire and the prince in the future..." Emperor Xueye said meaningfully.

"The prince is Qingqing's husband, and I will definitely die for the prince!" Lu Yuan said at this time.

Emperor Xue Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Also, Lu Yuan's sister Lu Qingqing was betrothed to his royal son. No matter how ruthless Lu Yuan was, he couldn't ignore his sister's happiness and do harm to "Xue Qinghe", right?

"Let's continue to discuss how to resist the tide of soul beasts this time." He smiled slightly and said, "Qinghe, Ge Long, Sect Master Ning, Sect Master Yu, you will preside over the meeting. I'm tired."

Then he rubbed his temples and motioned to the minister to take him out.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo also frowned and followed.

At the same time, Prince Xuexing was also following him. Considering the conflict he had with Lu Yuan just now, he was not suitable to stay here now.

"Yes, Your Majesty (Father)!" Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi, Ge Long and Yu Yuanzhen all nodded.

The body of the Minister of Finance, which was beheaded by Lu Yuan, was also cleared away by the army of imperial guards who came up.

But no one cares about his life or death. His status as finance minister is not worth mentioning in front of Lu Yuan, Qibao Glazed Sect and the prince.

As a result, his family's power among the top leaders of the Tiandou Empire will be greatly reduced.

…

Seven days later.

In front of the ruins of the Tiandou City wall.

Ever since Xiao Wu launched the "Soul Beast Declaration", Emperor Xue Ye has ordered to stop the repair work of the city wall.

Instead, the ruins of the city wall were cleared to create a thoroughfare, so that the army in Tiandou City and the army of soul masters composed of major forces could easily march out of Tiandou City.

Gathering all the effective forces of Tiandou City, this army has nearly 700,000 people!

This far exceeded the less than 600,000 troops that Ge Long said before. Of course, what Ge Long said before did not include the army of soul masters sent by the major forces.

Among these 700,000 troops, there are 100,000 Xuanwu Army, 100,000 Gale Force Army, 100,000 Fengwu Army, 100,000 Liehuo Army, and there is also a military lord - Sen Luo Hou, who has already led him.

The Luo Army Corps went to Zhennang Pass to replace Lu Yuan's Tianying Army to guard Zhennang Pass.

There were also two battles - the Battle of Zhennanguan, in which Mr. Xiong and Brigitte intercepted their battle and were promoted to the Tianying Army of more than 30,000 people.

As well as 50,000 Royal Knights, the remaining 150,000 organized troops are the Tiandou City's city defense army. In addition, they are all soul masters and private armed forces sent by the major forces, families, and academies in Tiandou City.

force.

These nearly 700,000 troops were arranged in their respective positions according to prior discussions.

For example, the Royal Knights, the cavalry troops of the city defense army, and the light cavalry regiment, the Swift Wind Army, are all lined up on the left and right sides of the battlefield. Once a big battle comes, they will quickly play the role of light cavalry, cooperating with the frontal army on the flanks to kill the soul beasts.

The heavily armored Xuanwu Army is at the forefront of the battlefield, ready to face the frontal impact of the spirit beasts, followed by the Tianying Army and the Tiandou City Defense Army.

The last ones are the Fire Legion, which is classified as archers. Now that they don't have a terrain advantage like a city wall, they can only go to the back of the army and wait for orders.

The soul masters of the major forces have also been assigned to their appropriate positions, preparing to deal with those more special and powerful soul beasts.

At this time, standing in the Chinese army camp were the major military princes in the army, as well as the strongest combat power and commanding figures of the major forces.

Not only that, there is also a figure wearing golden armor in the military formation, and everyone is led by "him".

Yes, it is none other than the current crown prince of the Tiandou Empire - "Xue Qinghe".

Emperor Xue Ye originally wanted to lead the expedition in person, but with his current physical condition, it was impossible for him to appear on the battlefield.

If something unexpected happens and the emperor of the Tiandou Empire dies on the battlefield, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the entire army.

Therefore, the current "number two man" in the empire, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe", can only be used to conquer Xue Ye Yujia in person.

After all, in this kind of battle to protect the country, no one from the royal family comes to fight in person, which is really easy to lose morale.

Lu Yuan actually didn't want Qian Renxue to come and fight in person. After all, he wanted Qian Renxue's identity to be hidden. She went to the battlefield, and the two titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall who she always protected came with her.

Wouldn't it be easy for Sword Douluo and other titled Douluo to sense their aura and reveal their identities?

But surprisingly, after Qian Renxue went out with the army, he asked La Ast to detect whether there was the aura of Snake Spear Douluo or Porcupine Douluo around her, but La Ast said there was none.

As a humanoid radar, Raast is basically infallible. In other words, Qian Renxue didn't even bring a bodyguard with her in order not to expose her identity.

Also, as long as her identity is not exposed, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen, Dugu Bo, and even the major military lords and him will all try their best to protect her. How could an accident happen?

Lu Yuan immediately felt relieved, and then began the final battle planning meeting.

Just when they were still in the middle of their deliberations, something happened outside the army.

Something happened in the distance of the army, and a dark breath slowly came.

The darkness that filled the sky was spreading from the south.

At this time, the speed of the black front seemed to slow down a bit, but the pressure coming from the sky still gave people a feeling of being out of breath.

In the distance, various dark soul beasts were slowly approaching in the direction of the army. They were not moving fast, but they were moving in an orderly manner.

They fanned forward as a whole, almost in sync with the dark clouds in the sky. Vaguely, with the breeze blowing, the faint fishy smell from the soul beasts had already spread over!

"Everyone is ready to face the enemy!" Marshal Ge Long of this army shouted directly, "According to the original plan, prepare to fight!"

Ge Long is dressed in the bright silver armor of the Sky Dou, and holds a three-pronged helmet holding the sky in his arms. He is over fifty years old, which is the right age for a soul master. Being able to reach the Soul Douluo level is enough to prove that his talent is enough to allow him to break through the title Douluo level. However,

It's just a matter of time.

He directly accompanied Qian Renxue and sat in the center of the army, without any appearance of leading the troops in battle.

This is not because he is timid, but because he is a marshal, not a general.

The marshal takes charge, and the general rushes into battle. The general is responsible for going into battle to kill the enemy, but the marshal must stay with the army to make appropriate commands and strategies to deal with the enemy's tactics.

Like Gao Zhong, who was forced into a one-on-one real men's arena by Lu Yuan not long ago, he is an excellent marshal who is not provoked by the enemy generals but stays within the army to deal with them.

It's a pity that Lu Yuan has the Death Realm, so there is really nothing he can do if he directly starts a duel arena.

"Everyone, I leave it to you." Ge Long said in a deep voice to Lu Yuan and other military commanders and generals.

Qian Renxue also said in a deep voice, "This battle is about the life and death of the empire. I hope you will work together to fight against the enemy!"

"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince! Yes! Marshal!" Lu Yuan and other generals responded with their hands raised, then turned and returned to their own regiments.

Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Poison Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen and others are still in the middle of the army. They must always pay attention to the hundred thousand year old soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest.

Once the hundred thousand year soul beast takes action, they will immediately intercept it.

Originally, Qian Renxue suggested that Laast should stay in the Chinese army initially, but Laast himself said that if he left Lu Yuan, his combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

After Qian Renxue heard this, her eyes lit up, and then she pretended to be helpless and asked Lu Yuan to pay attention to the movements of the Soul Beast Supreme. Once he found out that the Azure Bull Python had taken action, he asked La Ast to come out.

Lu Yuan naturally nodded in agreement.

It’s a chapter that I said I owe, and I’ll update it later tonight.
Chapter completed!
