Mortal Epic of Douluo

Two hours had passed since the fighting ended, the sky gradually darkened, and a strong west wind blew along the canyon and beat on the cliffs.

Seeing that there was no hope of a good meal, the vultures hovering in the sky flew away, shouting with broken gongs.

The sun was sinking to the bottom, and the moon was waning in the sky. At dusk, the sound of horse hooves in the canyon was sporadic and mixed, and there were sad men playing flutes and flutes to send their relatives and comrades back home.

Atreus and others climbed up the cliff by climbing the rope left by the bandits. Looking around, they saw mountains like the sea and the setting sun like blood.

"The bandits have retreated, will Brother Ning continue walking eastward?"

Ning Rongli looked at Lifu who was hard at work digging out fallen rocks at the west entrance of the canyon, tightened his sleeves, and said: "I want to cross this Hujian Pass from the beginning, but I'm afraid that the bandits won't give me a chance, so I'd better retreat for the time being until I can regroup."

, come again!”

Wang Zhi spoke cautiously: "Master Ning, although this group of gangsters is not very powerful, they are very organized in their actions. I'm afraid they are not ordinary bandits. Judging from their accomplices, they have knives, guns, bows, ropes, and a

A food-based soul master, could it be..."

"Old Wang, you don't need to add your last name when you call me from now on." Ning Rongli held his chin and said, "There has been no smoke of war on the mainland for twenty years, and Beiyuan Province is the hinterland of the empire, and its armaments are in depletion...

.When I return to Tiandou City, I will explain the situation to my father."

When Ning Rongli was talking to Wang She, he did not avoid Atreus and the others. He did not know whether it was because he felt that they were too young and it would not be a big deal if they listened, or because he was grateful and trusted for saving his life.

In fact, even if Ning Rongli didn't say anything, Atreus would have already guessed it.

The configuration of this group of gangsters is almost complete. In addition to the defense system soul master, there are also power attack system, agility attack system, control system, a food system soul master responsible for supply, and an archer soul master responsible for remote harassment and killing.

He is a weapon soul master.

Coupled with the rules of advance and retreat, Atreus can be sure that these gangsters are definitely soldiers, and they are also quite elite. In addition, the southern part of the Northern Mountains is located in the North Plains Province, the Kingdom of Haagen-Dazs.

The border area of ​​the Far North, so it is almost impossible for these bandits to come from other kingdoms and provinces.

At the same time, they cannot come from the Kingdom of Haagen-Dazs, because such an elite team in Haagen-Dazs will never fall into bandits. With such strength, the nobles will definitely serve them well and try to make them their own.

Private soldiers to defend their estates.

The "depleted armaments" mentioned by Ning Rongli is the current situation of the army in the hinterland of the Tiandou Empire.

There has not been a large-scale war/war mobilization in Douluo Continent for a long time. The last time the two empires mobilized more than a legion was twenty years ago when the Grand Duke of Yaksa (Principality) robbed King Kundera of the Kingdom of Barak.

His little daughter wanted to take her as my concubine.

The angry Kundera privately mobilized the kingdom's army and sent troops to the Principality of Yaksa without the permission of his cousin: Emperor Tiandou Xueye, which subsequently caused a war involving the two empires and their subordinate kingdoms and principalities, a total of ten

Three legions and more than half a million troops were mobilized.

On the side of the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xueye personally led two legions of the Central Army to Jialing Pass and took up positions in the rear; Xueye's cousin Kundla led his Balak Kingdom legions in front of the Yaksa Pass; the newly promoted general Ge Long led

A central army and two local armies were stationed in the cities of Soto and Barak; another army was assembled in the province of Fasno.

In the Star Luo Empire, Emperor Dai Tian led the Royal Guards and the Hujie Army to Baima, an important town in the north of Shannan Province, and sat in the rear; three northern legions were stationed in the Principality of Yaksa, ready to send troops to the Yaksa Pass at any time; two central legion soldiers

The front was pointed directly at the Fasino Province, and a legion was deployed in the east, hoping to raid the Principality of Sarikel under the jurisdiction of the Tiandou Empire.

Then a dramatic scene occurred. Under such a situation, Grand Duke Yaksa secretly took Kundera's little daughter to Wuhun City, completed the wedding with the "blessing" of Wuhun Temple Pope Qian Xunji, and

Afterwards, it was announced that he would divorce his first wife and make Kundera's youngest daughter his first wife.

Later, Pope Qian Xunji of Wuhun Palace invited Emperor Xueye of Tiandou, Emperor Daitian of Xingluo, King Kundera of Barak, and Archduke Ferdinand of Yaksa to meet on the plain north of Yaksa Pass.

The two sides conducted friendly negotiations on the dispute between the Tiandou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and established the principle of "no war unless necessary". In compliance with the common expectation of the mainland people's desire for peace, they withdrew their troops.

A war mobilization involving half a million troops and millions of civilians ended hastily. The soldiers all took off their trousers (×)...all their swords, guns, swords and halberds were sharpened (√). Finally

That's it?

After that, there was peace that lasted for twenty years. There was no large-scale friction between the two empires. Under the mediation of Wuhun Palace, the mainland achieved a rare peace.

In fact, regardless of whether there is a war or not, there will inevitably be various problems within the army, but the war will cover them up. But under the long period of "peace", the local army in the hinterland of the Tiandou Empire has "naturally" experienced corruption problems.

, officers were greedy for military pay, and ordinary soldiers were squeezed downwards, causing soldiers in many local armies to flee.

None of this knowledge could be obtained directly by Atreus from the Soul Master Academy, but from Laennid.

After Atreus and Oscar entered the third grade, Ennid directly used his connections to let them jump to the Haagen-Dazs Intermediate Soul Master Academy, which is on the same campus as the Advanced Academy.

Every night when he came to Ennid, he would take time to "open a small stove" for them and Liu Yan. Fraser would also listen, but most of what he taught was not the theory of martial arts or knowledge related to soul beasts, but the history of the mainland.

, sect organization, astronomy and geography, customs and even palace secrets.

Atreus didn't understand it very much, but compared to the knowledge of martial arts, he was actually eager to understand the world. As the saying goes: Take it as it comes. After coming to this world for so long, Atreus has always been sitting in a well and watching the sky.

I don't know much about this world.

It is impossible for teachers in junior soul master colleges to devote their energy to teaching "useless knowledge". In their eyes, the level of a student's soul power is the only criterion for evaluating whether a student is outstanding.

But after Ning Rongli had a conversation with Wang Zhi, he took out two rings from his arms and said to Atreus: "A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring, let alone a life-saving kindness? I think

Brother Oscar and Miss Frazier both have their own storage soul guidance rings. Each of these two storage soul guidance rings has eight cubic meters of storage space. They can be used as a thank you gift from me to express my gratitude!"

"How can this be so embarrassing..."

Atreus originally wanted to refuse, but Liu Yan beside him directly reached out and took a ring and said to himself: "This thing is good. I can keep the treasure I forge in the future, otherwise I will leave it in your hands."

There is no mystery at all.”

"Hahahaha, Brother Liu Yan is really straightforward. Brother Atreus, just keep it." Ning Rongli said with a smile. Regardless of what Atreus thought, he just stuffed the ring over and then nodded.

He climbed down the cliff without looking back.
