The ultimate transmission fear beast stands on the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 461: The Tiandou Empire Strides Forward

The next morning, Qian Renxue, accompanied by She Long and Cixue, crossed the blockade carefully arranged by Ge Long and appeared in the camp of the Iron Dragon Legion in a low-key manner.

The camp was very quiet, with the occasional snoring of night watchmen coming from afar. The cooks, medics and other logistics soldiers who were supposed to stay in the camp were nowhere to be seen. They seemed to have been mixed into small teams with the ordinary soldiers and were patrolling hard outside.

Human wave tactics, a tactic that is meaningless to Titled Douluo.

However, more people means more eyes. If the imaginary enemy is not a Titled Douluo, the simple and direct advantage in numbers can at least hold out until Ge Long or other strong men in Tiandou City arrive.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

She Long touched his chin and whispered to Cixue, "As expected of Xue Ye's most trusted marshal, his ability to deploy troops is truly extraordinary."

"nonsense."

Cixue said bluntly, "Don't think that Xue Ye is a rare useless emperor in Tiandou Empire just because he is manipulated by the young master. Dyson and his son Charles de Gaulle are both ambitious lords. If they didn't have some tricks, Tiandou would have been destroyed by that father and son long ago, even with our help in secret."

"Makes sense."

She Long had no rebuttal.

Dyson is the late former Emperor of Xingluo, the father of the current Emperor Charles de Gaulle, and the grandfather of the two brothers Davis and Dai Mubai.

He is also an ambitious man who reached a cooperation with Haotian Sect and ordered Tang Yuehua to lurk in Tiandou City.

Well, the description of "ambitious" is a bit biased. Perhaps "militant" is a more appropriate word to describe Dyson.

However, since the establishment of the Xingluo Empire, the Dai family seems to have produced few emperors who are not militant.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the Xingluo people who value martial arts, only an emperor who values ​​military power over literature is a good emperor who can command them.

During the torture and interrogation of "Sang Chui", they learned that his name was Tang Gui, he was from the Haotian Sect, and his martial spirit was a pure Haotian Chui. Yue Guan and Gui Mei, the two brothers in distress under Tang Hao's hammer, showed unprecedented and surprising subjective initiative.

It only took half an hour for a puddle of mud with broken bones all over his body to lie on the ground and tremble as he spat out all the information he knew.

For example, the ending of Liu Erlong who disappeared in Lan Ba ​​Academy, and the whereabouts of Yu Xiaogang who also disappeared.

For example, the true identity of Tang Yuehua, who is as graceful as a noble lady in Yuexuan, and the reason why she appeared in Tiandou City under an assumed name.

For example, how the friendship between the older generations of the two top forces, Spirit Hall and Haotian Sect, turned into irreconcilable hatred under his manipulation.

After careful consideration, "ambitious" is indeed more appropriate.

Changing the topic, She Long asked curiously, "By the way, how is Tang Yuehua doing recently? Is she still staying in that little room and refusing to come out?"

"."

Cixue remained silent and secretly glanced at the young master walking in front.

As if unaware of the conversation behind her, Qian Renxue did not look back and walked slowly towards the military tent with a swan pattern in the distance.

I wouldn't be stupid enough to bet whether the young master heard it or not. Not making a statement is itself the biggest statement.

"Are you an idiot?" Cixue gnashed his teeth and said, "Shelong, put away your unnecessary pity. Tang Yuehua is a disciple of Haotian Sect and Tang Hao's sister!"

The topic came to an abrupt end. She Long came back to his senses and looked at Cixue with gratitude.

Tang Yuehua, who was betrayed by her most trusted assistant, is certainly pitiful, but Qian Renxue, who lost her father, is also a pitiful victim.

Even from Xue Qinghe's point of view, Tang Yuehua, as a spy sent by the Xing Luo Empire, could be dragged out and beheaded with any excuse.

Now she is under house arrest in Yuexuan, which is the result of Qian Renxue's mercy and lenient sentence for Tang San's sake.

She Long was still in shock, and Cixue wanted to change his partner. At an angle that the two of them could not see, Qian Renxue was looking down at Xue Qinghe's face, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

Angry? Indifferent? Sad?
Is it a relief that comes from the heart?

Or let go of everything calmly?

Qian Renxue, who was born out of distortion and is emotionally deficient, cannot understand what is churning in her heart at this moment.

So she clumsily chose to do what she had always done and what she was best at.

Play the role of the Crown Prince who is about to ascend the throne.

Xue Qinghe opened the tightly closed tent door and looked around. There were only Ge Long and his two capable staff officers in the military tent, who were seriously handling the internal affairs of the Iron Dragon Corps.

Just by "doing it himself", Ge Long, as one of the top military leaders in the Tiandou Empire, is fully worthy of his status as a marshal.

It is also worth noting that there were no guards in the military tent.

The reason for this is probably because Goron, who is at the Soul Douluo level, does not need any protection from Soul Master level guards.

"Your Highness?!"

Ge Long looked up and found that the person coming in was Xue Qinghe. He quickly put down the work at hand and stood up to greet him.

"Ah."

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, without any of the familiarity of the past.

Ge Long understood and said to the two staff officers following behind him: "You go out first."

"Yes, Marshal. Your Highness, I will take my leave." x2
The two staff officers felt relieved, greeted Xue Qinghe respectfully, and turned to leave.

"Your Majesty She Long, thank you for your help."

"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite."

She Long smiled slightly and disappeared from Ge Long's sight in the blink of an eye.

Sitting directly in Ge Long's seat, Xue Qinghe picked up a piece of official document and asked pointedly, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Your Highness, I slept well last night." Ge Long smiled knowingly and said, "After being busy for more than half a month, the boys can finally get a good night's sleep."

"good."

Seeing that the top-secret information had not been leaked, Xue Qinghe nodded with satisfaction.

Recently, the big moves made by the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall have not only caused an uproar in the spirit master world, but even the neighboring Xingluo Empire has not been spared.

First of all, within the empire, a large number of low-level soul masters who were unproductive and idle chose to use force to cause riots because their interests were damaged, causing extremely bad effects.

Secondly, although the effect of the artificial soul bones on the national strength increase was overshadowed by the turmoil in the short term, any discerning person could see that, at least in terms of unifying the continent, the Tiandou Empire had surpassed the Xingluo Empire by a whole level.

To sum up, Charles de Gaulle has been extremely busy recently.

In addition to finding ways to accommodate the low-level soul masters who had "escaped" across the border, he also had to instruct the spies hidden within the empire to do everything they could to find out the relevant information about artificial soul bones.

By the way, try to disrupt the cooperation between Huang Tiandou and Wuhun Hall.

The Iron Dragon Army blocked the west gate of Tiandou City for no reason, which was clearly telling the spies: "I have intelligence here, come and take a look."

From a top student at the Soul Master Academy to a well-known conscientious businessman, to a star in the Soul Fighting Arena under the spotlight, and to an unknown cleaner working silently in the Soul Temple.

The identities of the spies were so bizarre that the people of Goron were almost dumbfounded.

No, is our Tiandou so riddled with holes?
Could there be a traitor in the royal family? Fortunately, the heir to the throne is the Crown Prince. If the throne fell into the hands of Xue Beng, the future of the empire would be dark.

He seemed to be able to see the tragic scene in which the people suffered terribly at the hands of the future "Emperor" of Avalanche, and the empire was eventually split into two.

Putting down the documents he had just checked, Xue Qinghe suddenly asked with interest: "Ge Long, as an imperial marshal, what is the role of the "train" in your eyes?"

"Me me?"

Ge Long was stunned, and his brain began to work rapidly: "Your Highness, do you want to hear polite words or the truth?"

"Ok?"

Xue Qinghe glared at him, and Ge Long trembled with fear.

Without noticing anything wrong with his instinctive reaction, Ge Long blurted out, "Your Highness, I think the new soul guide device called "Train" is unlikely to be able to do anything."

"What?! Are you an idiot?!"

As expected, Cixue, who had seen the correct answer with the young master, immediately became angry.

"Your Majesty, please be patient."

Xue Qinghe, on the other hand, acted as if everything was normal. Not only did he try to calm Cixue's emotions, he also freed his hands to signal Gelong to continue.

"Hmm? Does His Majesty like trains very much?"

Having seen the design drawings of the train and knowing that the final product would be a steel behemoth, Goron arbitrarily labeled Cixue as "A man remains a boy until he dies."

With a glance, Ge Long pretended not to see anything and continued, "Your Highness, with all due respect, according to Mr. Tang San, in terms of war, the greatest advantage of trains is that they can transport large quantities of war materials stably and efficiently without relying on human and animal power, and without being affected by the environment and climate."

"I admit that material supply is indeed very important in war. However, given the current situation on the mainland, we have already reached cooperation with the Spirit Hall in many aspects. As long as Charles de Gaulle is sane, it is impossible for him to have a large-scale conflict with us."

"Under this premise, if we have a small-scale conflict with Xingluo, train transportation will be limited by tracks and speed and will not be able to play a role at all."

"In my opinion, the greatest value of trains lies in people's livelihood. Considering that one of the first planned railways leads to Seaside City, I believe that the young masters and young ladies in the aristocratic circle will definitely like the sunshine, sea breeze and beach that Tiandou City does not have."

pop, pop, pop
Xue Qinghe clapped his hands.

Although his views on war were very different from Gu You's, he was surprisingly perceptive when it came to people's livelihood.

Even the words he said were exactly the same as Gu You.

"Believe me, sunshine, sea breeze, beach, and a warm-hearted girl with a wheat-colored complexion. City dwellers living in the center of the empire will never be able to refuse the call from the sea."

For some reason, the image of Gu You giving a thumbs up and grinning flashed through her mind, and Qian Renxue always felt that something was strange.

Beach vacation, school trip, swimsuit vacation, bonfire dinner.
A bunch of incomprehensible new terms came out of his mouth, which made people wonder whether there was some shameful and terrible reason behind Gu You's proposal to build a railway to the coastal city.

“Ha~chiu——!”

Ranta raised his head from the depths of the pile of books: "Brother, do you need to turn up the temperature?"

"No, keep working."

Gu You wiped his nose and said nonchalantly, "I, your elder brother, am a peerless macho man who can eat both Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot at the same time. The sneeze just now was probably because someone was thinking about me."

"Who? Grandpa?"

"maybe."

There was a hint of guilt in his voice. Since becoming a "noble" soul master, this was the first time that Gu You did not return to the Holy Soul Village during the summer vacation.

Alas, without me, the “number one fisherman in Holy Soul Village”, I’m really worried that Grandpa and Liming won’t be able to eat the freshest sea bass.

When the railway to Seaside City is built, remember to bring Grandpa to Tiandou City. We will take the train to the beach together and get a small boat to go fishing.

"Brother, are you going to Ximen tomorrow?"

As if he suddenly remembered something, Ranta continued the topic that had not been finished last night while working.

"Why, are you interested in trains too?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Ranta thought for a moment and explained, "I'm mainly curious about what a giant soul guide made entirely of metal would look like when it runs."

"Is it?"

Gu You blinked, inevitably feeling a little surprised.

The card player who doesn't chase stars or hot topics and is always two steps behind the coolest trends can't understand the little girl's enthusiasm at all.

Suppose someone told him now that K Company was preparing to release a lower-level masked hero, perhaps he would be able to empathize with Ranta.

"Tomorrow is a day off. If you are interested in trains, go with your third brother to see them for yourself."

After quickly looking through the schedule and finding that he was making good progress on the new textbook, Gu You generously gave Ranta a full day off.

As for himself, of course he continued to push forward the unfinished projects.

After a while, Lanta asked in confusion: "Brother, you're not going over tomorrow?"

"Don't go."

Gu You shook his head: "Xiao San and I designed the train together. Whether it succeeds or not tomorrow, it will not affect my use of it to pry this continent."

"You mean industrialization?"

"Of course!"

Gu You immediately became excited: "With the ability to fully control clean and pollution-free renewable energy, coupled with metal reserves that can be used for at least 20,000 years, Douluo Continent is simply an industrial paradise!"

"Ata, you have to remember that humans are a strange species that is destined to move upwards and cannot move downwards. After experiencing a happy life for just one day, they will try every possible means to make this happiness last a little longer."

"I think you should know this better than anyone else."

".Yes, big brother."

Ranta closed his eyes and tried to recall the days before his martial spirit awakened.

But soon, she got rid of the whirlpool of memories and opened her clear eyes again.

It has nothing to do with personality, it’s simply because anyone can endure darkness if they have never seen the sun.

Now that Ranta has learned what happiness is, it is impossible for her to go back to the small mountain village filled with painful memories.

Putting down the reference materials in his hand, Gu You turned his head and looked out the window.

Among the branches, a young bird with its down feathers still intact is chirping faintly.

Suddenly a strong wind blew, and it instinctively spread its tender wings. The rising air current carried it through the air in a graceful arc, flying into the clear blue sky.

“Guess what would happen if people knew their lives could be better?”
