In order to save himself, the prince summoned 100,000 dragon riders at the start.

"Quick! To the stables! Prepare the horses!"

"Oh, right, I also have the Royal Guard battalion..."

Just as Li Shun was rushing out of the camp, he saw a soldier dressed as a captain strolling around.

So he immediately summoned him to his side:

Hey! You there, come here!

"Go immediately to the Imperial Guard Camp and relay my military order: have them set out immediately to stop Lu Yuan's army from entering the city!"

"Tell them to stop us with all their might, and they must not retreat!"

Although Li Shun was reluctant, he gritted his teeth and made a tough decision.

just now.

He could only use his personal guards as bait.

This gives me time to escape!

Let's stall for as long as possible!

But in his panic, Li Shun didn't notice.

The soldier he waved over gave a strange smile upon seeing him...

......

On Lu Yuan's side.

Although the garrison at Yumen Pass consisted entirely of elite troops.

But compared to the Dragon Riders or even the Trapped Camp, they are nothing but minnows!

The two sides' military strength is not even on the same level!

Even ordinary soldiers in the Dragon Riders could hold their own against centurions.

How can we fight this war?!

As soon as the city gates opened, Lu Yuan's army entered the city.

Once the two armies clashed, it was a one-sided massacre!

Simultaneously.

Shadow guards and other skilled assassins also roamed the battlefield, specializing in assassinating officers with slightly higher skill levels!

This further exacerbated the defeat of the defenders at Yumen Pass!

"Don't kill me! I surrender!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

On the battlefield.

The defenders, terrified by the constant killings, dropped their weapons, weeping and collapsing to their knees!

As the saying goes, a defeated army collapses like a house of cards!

The entire Yumen Pass quickly fell into Lu Yuan's hands!

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your forces have killed 30,000 enemies, granting you 738,575 Luck Points!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on winning a crucial battle! You are rewarded with 100,000 Luck Points!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired a pass and are rewarded with 100,000 Luck Points!]

Another huge wave of luck points has been earned!

Lu Yuan's accumulated luck value has now exceeded one million again!

We can have another Saint-level lottery draw!

"System, I want to participate in the Saint-level lottery!"

Lu Yuan immediately activated the system.

Points in your account will always remain points.

Only when it is converted into combat power will it be truly useful!

[Ding! Host has selected Saint-level lottery draw, system lottery in progress...]

[Ding! Lottery successful! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Holy Realm Guardian: Li Sandao!]

Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed!

"Holy Realm!"

This lottery was different from the previous Saint-level legions; instead, a Saint-level expert emerged!

A true holy land!

"Great, I finally have a trump card!"

Lu Yuan's face lit up with joy, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In truth, Lu Yuan had always been very worried.

Although he has several demigods under his command.

However, there is no true Saint Realm expert capable of shouldering the burden!

According to rumors...

The Dragon Court, a forbidden area of ​​the Great Zhou Dynasty, has a Saint Realm Ancestor!

it's good now!

With a Saint Realm expert emerging, he felt even more confident on his journey to Chang'an!

"Whoosh!"

In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared beside Lu Yuan like a ghost.

"Your subordinate, Li Sandao, greets Your Majesty!"

A middle-aged man dressed in military uniform knelt on one knee before Lu Yuan, his face filled with fanatical loyalty!

Lu Yuan realized what was happening and quickly went forward to help Li Sandao up.

"San Dao, please rise quickly!"

Lu Yuan, with a look of surprise, quickly stepped forward and acknowledged Li Sandao's superiority.

This is a Saint Realm expert!

Upon closer inspection, Li Sandao's aura was restrained, and he appeared ordinary, like a common person without any cultivation.

But Lu Yuan knew that this was because his cultivation level was too low, and he couldn't sense the other party's hidden cultivation level!

If Li Sandao were to freely release his aura...

Just a trace.

It could cause my useless physical body to collapse!

This is what a Saint Realm expert looks like!

"If we let Li Sandao wreak havoc everywhere... wouldn't we gain a massive amount of luck points!"

Just as Lu Yuan was feeling quite pleased with himself, the system notification sounded:

[Ding! The number of enemies killed by your subordinates will increase or decrease based on their cultivation levels!]

Lu Yuan's face immediately fell.

have to.

It seems the system has plugged all the vulnerabilities!

At this time.

Yu Xiang and Ying Mo also returned to report.

When the two saw Li Sandao next to Lu Yuan, their pupils dilated suddenly, and a sense of crisis instantly made their hair stand on end!

"Don't be afraid, we're all on the same side!"

Lu Yuan greeted the two of them with a smile.

"Yes!"

Yu Xiang and Ying Mo glanced at Li Sandao with apprehension.

They felt...

The person in front of me could crush me to death with a flick of his wrist.

Fortunately, they are our own people, so there's nothing to worry about.

So the two of them composed themselves and then reported to Lu Yuan:

"My lord! I have not failed you!"

"Li Shun, the garrison commander of Yumen Pass, has been killed by my subordinates!"

Yu Xiang tossed out a head wrapped in a black cloth and said respectfully.

"Good! Well done!"

Lu Yuan looked at Yu Xiang with approval.

He had already learned of Li Shun's death through the system.

This peak Martial Grandmaster contributed a significant amount of luck points to him!

"Yingmo, your shadow guards are quite good too!"

"You deserve immense credit for your contributions in this battle to seize the pass!"

"It is a subordinate's duty to share the burdens of his lord!"

When Yingmo reached Lu Yuan, his voice suddenly became hoarse.

To outsiders, it doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman.

Yu Xiang glanced at Ying Mo beside her with a strange look.

What's wrong with this woman?

Why hide your voice...?

However, Yu Xiang didn't think much of it.

As long as we can ensure that Shadowmo is loyal to his master, that's enough!

aside.

Lu Yuan didn't notice anything amiss and nodded happily.

just now.

He successfully captured Yumen Pass.

The road south was smooth and unobstructed!

"Yumen Pass is in a very important position, serving as the throat between the Central Plains and the Northern Regions."

"Occupying Yumen Pass allows us to attack or defend as needed."

"We do need some troops to guard the area!"

Lu Yuan stroked his chin thoughtfully.

He also needs to prepare a backup plan for himself!

If we encounter any setbacks in our advance into the Central Plains, and our retreat route through Yumen Pass is cut off, then I will truly be left with nothing but tears!

"But which army should we keep...?"

Lu Yuan was somewhat perplexed.

It's impossible to have 100,000 dragon cavalry; that was his main force for the southward march!

Fifty thousand elite troops would be acceptable.

But isn't it a waste to keep such a powerful force just to guard the pass?

This is also a significant boost!

As for Shadow Guard and Drizzle.

These two special organizations are not military units, and are even less suitable for guarding the pass!

"Forget it, I'll just use my luck points to try again and see if I can draw an army!"

Since none of them are suitable, let's find another army!

Lu Yuan looked at the remaining 100,000+ Luck Points in his account.

"Perfect, we can also have a super lottery."

The required luck value for the Super Lottery is 100,000.

The rewards are usually at the Martial Grandmaster level.

Perfect for guarding the pass!

[Ding! Host has selected the Super Lottery; the system is drawing lots...]

[Ding! Lottery successful! Congratulations, host, you have obtained an exclusive legion: 10,000 Northern Army soldiers!]
