Mortal Epic of Douluo

On the morning of August [-]st, a vast convoy of a thousand people pulled out from the Tiandou Royal Hunting Ground and headed west.

There are nine luxurious carriages in the convoy, which were specially made by the Tiandou royal family for the expedition team of this soul master competition. The carriages use the latest shock-absorbing soul guidance technology developed by the Qibao Glazed Sect. Sitting on them is far more comfortable than ordinary carriages. Comfortable.

The carriage headed by it was the car of Prince Xue Qinghe. After the awarding ceremony, Emperor Xueye announced that Prince Xue Qinghe would be the representative of the empire and would lead the team to Wuhun City, a majestic city at the junction of the two empires, to participate in the whole competition. Mainland Senior Soul Master Elite Competition Finals.

The eight teams, plus the accompanying academy teachers, 20 royal knights, and attendants, totaled [-] people.Every time he passed a city, local officials would send gifts and supplies.Since it was August, the team only traveled in the morning and evening, but even so, the team's speed was still not slow.

The mainland has been at peace for 26 years. The road from Tiandou City to Wuhun City is completely smooth except for the Tianling Mountains that lie between the Tiandou Empire and the Balak Kingdom.With no worries about supplies and no danger of roadblocks, Xue Qinghe estimated that the convoy would be able to reach Wuhun City by the middle of the month.

Wuhun City was founded in the year 1172 of the Douluo Calendar and has a history of 470-1683 years, which is earlier than the birth of any force on the mainland today.You must know that even the oldest existing country, Tiandou, was only officially independent in [-], and it was only an independent principality with a territory smaller than the current Tiandou City direct jurisdiction.

This city, whose sovereignty belongs entirely to Wuhun Temple, is a holy place in the hearts of countless soul masters on the mainland. It also has another name widely circulated among the people - the City of Angels, because the divine residence enshrined by Wuhun Temple, It is the angel god.

There are different opinions on whether angel gods have ever existed on the mainland, but the Angel family has actually saved the continent.

In the year 1912 of the Douluo Calendar, Angel Douluo and King Tian Dou reached an alliance and gathered the righteous forces of the mainland to declare war on the evil soul master organization [Holy Spirit Sect]. It took 9 years to finally destroy [Holy Spirit Sect].Most of the evil soul masters were expelled and suppressed in the "City of Killing". Some evil soul masters fled across the sea and disappeared without a trace. Only a handful of evil soul masters were left on the mainland to survive.

Since then, whenever an evil soul master appears in the world, the people will immediately find a way to inform the Wuhun Palace, and the Wuhun Palace has also sent elite soul masters time and time again to clear out and suppress the evil soul masters.

Since hundreds of years ago, countless people have placed their utmost trust in the righteous actions of Wuhun City, especially in the villages and towns built near Wuhun City, where every household enshrines angel statues and prays devoutly every day.

And every time when Wuhun City was founded, countless devout civilians and even soul masters would travel thousands of miles from all over the mainland to pay homage to the [-]-meter-high angel statue in the large square in front of the Pope's Palace.

The Wuhun Palace attaches great importance to the finals of this Soul Master Competition. As early as a few months ago, Pope Bibi Dong issued an order to use the large square in front of the Pope's Palace as the finals of this continent's elite soul master academy competition. venue.

At the same time, Pope Bibi Dong also announced an edict that during the finals, the place where the Angel God will attend the ceremony will be set up on a high slope outside Wuhun City.In other words: non-soul masters are not allowed to enter Wuhun City.

The devout people will not be dissatisfied because of this decree. After all, it is just a change of location to attend the ceremony. As long as the ceremony on the founding day of the city is still in the square in front of the temple, everything will be easy to discuss.

And for ordinary people without soul power, the soul master is a superior being, Wuhun City is the holy land in their hearts, and the Pope is the spokesperson of the angel god.As long as the belief in the Angel God is still there, and as long as Wuhun Temple still cares about the church members, their respect for Wuhun Temple will never fade away.

The days spent on the carriage are boring. In addition to daily practice, the team members just chat and talk about mountains and rivers.One day during lunch break, Oscar suddenly felt emotional about the shock-absorbing carriage under his butt: "I still remember when I was a child, when it was market day, my father would put Ari and I on Grandpa Lester's cow. In the car. Grandpa Lester’s old cow was very obedient, but there were many potholes along the way, which bruised both my and Ari’s butts. It was extremely painful!”

The team members laughed one after another. They didn't expect that Atreus and Oscar's childhood would be so interesting. Especially the substitutes and the teachers who accompanied the team. They didn't expect that these two talented people came from such poor backgrounds.

Atreus didn't feel that his background was so shameful, and continued to talk about his childhood past, which made the team members quite curious.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the middle of the motorcade, attracting everyone's attention.

Atreus poked his head out of the car window and happened to see a knight waving his riding crop and beating several farmers hard. There was also a fallen cattle lying on the side of the road, with a knife on its neck. A lance was inserted, and blood flowed from the wound, staining the ground red.

"Stop!" Atreus exploded in an instant. He rushed over in a few seconds, grabbed the knight's riding crop, and asked: "What kind of crime have they committed? It's not enough for you to kill their cattle. Do you want to whip with a riding crop?!"

The Royal Knights were ordered by Emperor Xueye to escort eight academy teams to Wuhun City. Atreus was still wearing the uniform of the Tiandou Royal Academy. Logically speaking, any knight who saw him should treat him with respect. It was appropriate to dismount and greet him, but the knight was not at all frightened. Instead, he pointed at Atreus's nose and cursed: "You little brat, get out of here. You have nothing to do with me teaching these troublesome people a lesson!"

"Trickster? Sir? Humph!" Atreus sneered, "I am not talented. I am the captain of the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy. I was lucky enough to be awarded the title of first-class viscount. I wonder what your title is?"

"I won a reward from His Majesty after playing a game. Do you really think of yourself as a person? I am Viscount Barito. My ancestor was awarded the title as early as 2478. I am a true military lord!" Barito pointed to the farmers. He said, "The cattle of these unruly people collided with me. I must teach them a lesson today!"

Atreus couldn't help but frowned. If it was really the farmers' cattle that broke in, then he would have no reason to stop him. After all, Emperor Xueye had spoken before the convoy set off. During the convoy's march, the Royal Knights Act according to military law.According to military law, anyone who rushes into the formation is regarded as attacking the army.

The attackers, behead them!

At this time, a farmer suddenly hugged Atreus' thigh, kowtowed and shouted: "What a shame! We brothers are just ordinary farmers, braving such a bright sun and working hard to cultivate the fields. Who knows what little people can do?" The cattle couldn't stand the weather, so they got angry and ran out of the field. How could we stop this stubborn cattle? I didn't expect this beast to..."

"Huh?" Barito immediately pulled out his lance from the cow's neck, pointed the tip of the lance at the farmer and said fiercely: "Think about it again, is it you who are wronged, or this Lord? ?”

"me......"

The farmer was so frightened that he could not speak. Another farmer next to him quickly stopped him and said, "It's unfair! But... it's not our fault, it's the knight's fault! It's the villains who don't have the foresight." , let this beast collide with the knight, the knight is using his whip to teach us a lesson, the little people should apologize to the knight, apologize!"

After saying that, the farmer kowtowed to his brother.
