Chapter 31: Scaled Army

In the days that followed, Di Hong spent part of his time practicing and part of his time studying the issue of unifying the continent. Although this matter had not yet been decided, it did not prevent him from making a plan.

Ge Long also successfully awakened his martial soul.

His martial soul is Jiaozi, and his innate soul power has reached the ninth level, which is also a title.

After his martial soul awakened, Di Yuan was really shocked. His son just picked up a person and actually found a genius. As long as he was trained well, they would have two Titled Douluo-level powerhouses in the future.

Di Hong and Ge Long, the two titled Douluo.

Especially Di Ming, he has already begun to imagine the scene of walking sideways when he goes out in the future. Which kingdom has Titled Douluo? There is no Titled Douluo in the empire.

After his martial soul awakened, Di Yuan immediately arranged for Golong's training. At Di Hong's request, he did not choose to send Golong to the Soul Master Academy, but kept him in the palace for secret training.

Although he didn't understand, he still did what his son asked.

At the same time, Shen Yi was arranged to give him military instruction.

Just like this, a year passed.

Four things happened this year.

The first thing is that Tang Chen, the leader of Haotian Sect, resigned from the position of leader and was succeeded by his son Tang Wei as the second-generation leader. This matter attracted quite a bit of attention. After all, it is still the number one sect in the world.

Although Tang Chen had long since stopped caring about the sect's affairs, he was still the sect leader in name.

The second thing was that the Spirit Hall Pope Qian Daoliu abdicated and no longer served as Pope, but became the High Priest and Judgment Elder. His son Qian Xunji became the new Pope. At the same time, Di Hong also heard a familiar name.

Bibi Dong, a student of the new Pope Qian Xunji, is a genius with innate full soul power.

Qian Daoliu's abdication happened almost at the same time as Tang Chen's. After learning that Tang Chen had stepped down as the sect leader, Qian Daoliu abdicated soon after. The two abdicated within less than half a month.

The third thing is about the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The old leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect died of a serious illness. Many people went to the funeral on the day of the funeral, and the royal family also specially sent Prince Xue Ye to express condolences and sympathy to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

After the funeral, Ning Fengzhi became the new leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but he was faced with a mess. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was facing internal and external troubles, just like a small boat under strong winds and huge waves, which would capsize if one was not careful.

Many people inside and outside are watching Ning Fengzhi to see what he will do.

The fourth thing was that the Star Luo Empire launched an attack. Unlike the previous times, although many towns and passes were captured before, they were all recaptured afterwards. However, this time was different. The 400,000 troops of the Star Luo Empire directly launched a fierce attack.

Although the Barak Kingdom had made preparations long ago, the Xingluo Empire's offensive was too fierce, so they had to retreat again and again. Now Barak's 150,000 troops have retreated to the Lima Plain, and if they retreat further, they will reach Jialing Pass.

Xing Luo's cavalry was almost unstoppable in the Lima Plain, and the Barak Kingdom could only defend. They no longer had any extra troops to mobilize. If they mobilized more troops, other parts of the country would have no way to defend.

After the Tiandou Empire learned about it, it responded immediately. Although the old emperor was confused, he was not stupid.

He immediately mobilized 150,000 troops under the command of Crown Prince Xue Ye to reinforce Lima Plain. Among these 150,000 troops, there were also 10,000 Royal Knights.

At the same time, he ordered the Kingdom of Silves and the Kingdom of Haagen-Dazs to send troops. Now, the 50,000 troops of the Kingdom of Haagen-Dazs have arrived at the Lima Plain and joined forces with the Kingdom of Barak to resist the Star Luo Empire.

The Kingdom of Silves has not yet sent out its troops.

In a military camp thirty miles away from the city of Silves.

Di Yuan brought Di Hong here.

The kingdom's most elite troops are stationed here, even the Scaled Armored Army is here.

The Scaled Armored Army is the most elite army of the Kingdom of Silves, and it is very difficult to train a Scaled Armored Army. They don't ride war horses, let alone Sky Soul horses, but a ferocious beast called a Scaled Armored Beast.

Although they are not soul beasts, the Scaled Armored Beasts are also a bloodthirsty group. In their eyes, the Sky Soul Horses are no different from prey, so the training of the Scaled Armored Army is very difficult.

Every warrior is carefully selected, and they are the elite among the elite. They must cultivate and build relationships with the armored beasts when they are still cubs, so that they can control the armored beasts. There are only three thousand armored soldiers in the entire Silves Kingdom.

Moreover, the Scaled Armored Army can fight in mountains, plains and even snowfields. It can be said that they are very powerful. Even soul masters of a slightly lower level dare not face them.

Commanding them was the royal general, Dijia.

When Di Yuan arrived, Di Jia rushed over immediately. As a royal general, he was only 45 years old and a soul master at the Soul King level. He was considered to be extremely talented among the royal family.

"My king, the Scaled Armor Army has assembled."

"Go, have a look."

When they arrived at the martial arts arena, they saw three thousand scale-armored soldiers waiting here in neat rows in a square formation.

The aura of murder can be clearly felt from the Scaled Armored Army. Every soldier's eyes are gleaming with sharp energy. Their equipment is also very sophisticated. They are clad in heavy black armor with only a pair of eyes exposed. Even the Scaled Armored Beasts under their mounts are covered in heavy armor. Although the scales on their bodies are enough for defense, Di Yuan still spent money to give these Scaled Armored Beasts another layer of defense.

Each soldier had a sword on his waist and held a black spear in his hand, the spear tip emitting a sharp cold light under the refraction of the sunlight.

It can be said that this army is armed to the teeth.

They all have the status of knight nobility, although they are only the lowest level of nobility, but they are still nobility.

The entire training ground was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Seeing this scene, Di Hong couldn't help but glance at his father. Why did this Scaled Armored Army look like they were fighting against the Royal Knights?

The Royal Knights are the Tiandou Empire's trump card army. The entire army has only 50,000 soldiers, each of whom is an elite, and there are even many soul masters among them.

There are also soul masters among the Scaled Armor Army, but not many.

However, Di Hong felt that it would be difficult for the three thousand Scale Armored Soldiers to fight against the Royal Knights. After all, the Royal Knights had fifty thousand of them and would be easily defeated.

Emperor Yuan also thought about expanding the size of the Scale Armor Army, but unfortunately it was too difficult to train a Scale Armor Army soldier.

It takes at least five years to raise a single Scaled Armored Beast from infancy to adulthood. Even the training of soldiers is not so simple. The gold soul coins spent on training a Scaled Armored Army soldier are enough to recruit and train a hundred ordinary soldiers.

These three thousand soldiers were all selected from the empire.

Both food and clothing are the best.

Just like the Royal Knights, only these 50,000 men were selected from an army of millions.

After reviewing the Scale Armor Army, Di Yuan took Di Hong to visit other parts of the military camp.

When they were leaving, Di Yuan said, "Prince Xue Ye has sent a message that the imperial army will pass through the kingdom. When the time comes, let our army join them and head to Lima Plain together."

"I'm going to let you go with me and train yourself."

Di Hong nodded. The battlefield can indeed hone a person and it is also good for him.
