Chapter 452

~13 min read 2,452 words

Several Golden Core level cultivators attacked together, and even though they encountered interception, only thirty-some cultivators were killed.

Such a battle result was pitifully small.

This was all because the Three Generals Camp itself was an organized army of the Two-Note Kingdom, becoming a part of the national defense and enjoying the blessing of national power. Any external attack would inevitably be reduced by the national defense.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Three Generals Camp had been forming up, marching in a Long Snake Formation, their military power condensed and integrated, thus also possessing a certain defensive capability.

But Liu Er, Zhang Hei, and the others saw such losses and shouted in shock and anger.

The scale of the Three Generals Camp itself was not large, with only three hundred people.

After the first round of offensive smashed down, one-tenth were dead. If two or three more rounds were launched, the military morale would collapse, and the army would flee.

This army was not the Golden Halberd Army; it had been founded not long ago, and its foundation could be considered the lowest among all armies.

As long as casualties reached about thirty percent, the cultivators would be terrified and flee in all directions.

Describing them as a rabble was very appropriate.

"Change formation!"

"Change formation!"

Liu Er and Zhang Hei roared at the same time.

On the other side, Guan Hong gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, had just swallowed an elixir, stabilized his injuries, and roughly bandaged his right arm.

His right arm injury was very severe, almost crippled.

But at this time, the army was under attack, and he heard the spiritual sense transmissions of Liu Er and Zhang Hei, knowing that he must hold on!

Guan Hong mobilized his magic power, coordinated with Liu Er and Zhang Hei, dispatched the surrounding soldiers, and began to change formation.

The Long Snake Formation was very appropriate for marching, but when used to deal with a single-digit number of strong enemy elites, the formation line appeared long, the head and tail were far apart, and it was difficult to take care of both ends.

Fortunately, the three generals had undergone special training before, which was arduous and exceptional, and they had primarily practiced two battle formations.

The Long Snake Formation was practiced later; what spent most of their energy and time was the Triangular Arrow Formation.

The soldiers of the Three Generals Camp felt their scalps tingle and obeyed the orders to urgently mobilize according to their daily training.

Their reason was still intact, and they knew that if they, these Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment level cultivators, fled in all directions, they would inevitably be slaughtered by the Golden Core cultivators, with no hope of survival. Instead, by forming up, they could rely on the battle formation and national might to protect themselves.

If they were lucky and repelled the invading Golden Core cultivators, they would still have a share of military merit to earn!

For a time, the long snake turned its head and curled its tail in the mountainous terrain, coiling into a ball.

"Quick, quick, attack them!" Chen Lingfeng hurriedly transmitted his thoughts, conducting the command.

Changing formation has its requirements.

Rashly changing formation will create flaws.

Referring to the White Jade Camp dealing with Tu Ming, when Shuang Jing directed the battle, during the formation change, they only used the inner layer of elite soldiers and personal guards to change formation, while the outer layer still maintained the Jade Wall Heavenly Moat Formation.

This was to cover up the flaws during the formation change.

But the Three Generals Camp could not do this.

On one hand, the number of people in the Three Generals Camp was too small, only about three hundred, unable to form two sets of battle formations inside and outside.

On the other hand, the training volume was insufficient. This flaw of the Three Generals Camp was even greater than that of the Barbarian Demon Camp! Xu Dali of the Barbarian Demon Camp at least still had his own personal guards and elite soldiers, but the three generals Liu, Guan, and Zhang were all lone individuals, starting from scratch to build an army.

Fortunately, the enemies they had to face at this time were not as numerous or as strong as those of the Barbarian Demon Camp.

Wind-Walking Spell—Wind Like Gloom!

ttkΛn¢o

Chen Lingfeng flapped the wings on his back, mobilized his natural talent, and cast the spell.

For a time, the world was dim and lost its color, and the gale swept through, making the soldiers of the Three Generals Camp unable to open their eyes; some were even unable to stand, their bodies swaying, dangerously close to being blown away by the gale!

Wu Hen fled to a safe zone.

"I'll come too!"

Strange Dao—Shadow Silk Entanglement!

From the edges of Wu Hen's black robe, black shadows frantically escaped.

The black shadows surged like a layer of pitch-black tide, clinging to the ground, attacking the soldiers of the Three Generals Camp.

The soldiers of the Three Generals Camp were all gathered together, and their shadows were also connected into pieces, which made it very convenient for Wu Hen to attack.

Liu Er shouted loudly; in the dim gale, he rode his yellow-dappled horse and held the Profound Yellow Sword high!

Military Tactics—Defend the Land and Consolidate the Foundation.

This was a military tactic inherent in the Profound Yellow Sword; once cast, it immediately turned into circles of earthy yellow light, blessing every soldier.

The light circles expanded rapidly, blessing the entire army and forming a strong defense to resist the blowing of the gale, but they could not stop the tide of black shadows rushing from the ground.

This was the advantage of the Strange Dao.

Wu Hen was not hindered and made contact with the soldiers of the Three Generals Camp.

"Caught you." He grinned and let out a chilling, gloomy laugh.

The next moment, the shadows of the soldiers touched by Wu Hen rebelled one after another, turning into strands of shadow silk, rising from the ground, entangling the legs, feet, and upper limbs of their owners, restricting their movements.

For a time, the speed of the formation change slowed down significantly.

Many soldiers fell to the ground, struggling frantically, but they just couldn't break free from the shadow silk's restraint.

Some people, in their impatience, cast spells or used magic tools to attack the shadows on their bodies.

As a result, along with the destruction of the shadows, corresponding injuries also appeared on their physical bodies!

This put people in a dilemma, feeling quite helpless.

"Very good, very good."

Another Golden Core cultivator, named Luo Xiwei, cultivated the Earth-Walking technique "Earth-Through Technique" and was good at digging tunnels.

According to the previous arrangement, he followed up and attacked, holding the magic tool Earth-Vein Five-Section Staff, and cast an Earth-Walking spell.

For a time, the mountainous terrain changed, rapidly softening and loosening from the solid mountain rock ground, eventually turning into large areas of quicksand.

The soldiers of the Three Generals Camp were entangled and restrained by the shadow silk, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as they were swallowed by the quicksand.

This quicksand move was quite vicious.

It would not kill the soldiers immediately, but would let them watch helplessly as they slid into the abyss of death, greatly shaking their fighting spirit and subsequently shaking the entire military morale.

"Hateful." Liu Er was extremely anxious.

Generals Guan and Zhang were also gritting their teeth.

The weapons in their hands also each had a military tactic, but they were all used for offense.

Now, the Triangular Arrow Formation needed the three generals as the core to maintain it; if any general rushed out to kill the enemy, it would inevitably cause the battle formation to collapse at one corner, and the flaw revealed would be large enough for the remaining Golden Core cultivators to take the opportunity to attack fiercely and kill a large number of soldiers.

The three generals naturally did not want to see this scene; this was their only family fortune.

But the defense of the Triangular Arrow Formation itself was not outstanding; if this continued, with continuous blood loss, it would collapse sooner or later.

Zhang Hei was horrified and thought of something, so he couldn't help but transmit his thoughts and shout: "Eldest brother, second brother, isn't this the prophecy poem calculated by the military advisor!"

That prophecy poem—

Horse hooves tread on falling flowers, wind rises and shadows sink into sand.

Who can keep the bright moon, and who will bury the mist and clouds?

The situation before their eyes corresponded exactly to the line "wind rises and shadows sink into sand," which was incomparably fitting!

Liu Er and Guan Hong had actually thought of it long ago and transmitted their thoughts one after another, urging Zhang Hei not to talk nonsense.

Now the military morale had been violently shaken, and the three generals were struggling to support it; if all three generals panicked, then this battle situation would completely collapse and could not be saved.

Zhang Hei shut his mouth and didn't speak, muttering in his heart, feeling very regretful: "If I had known this, I should have listened more to the military advisor's words."

Unlike Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense penetrated the carriage and had already been observing the battlefield; after seeing this scene, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

"A prophecy poem I thought of randomly, it actually really matches?"

"How did this happen?"

"It should be a coincidence."

At this very moment, he had not yet guessed that this was actively proposed by the Master of Mo Yuan Cave, using a plan within a plan.

This plan was indeed exquisite; even if the three generals Liu, Guan, and Zhang did not spread it, their own hearts had already been shaken because of it!

They were the foundation of military morale; once their hearts were in chaos, it immediately affected the might of the entire battle formation.

The attacking Golden Core cultivators felt much more relaxed, and the speed at which the soldiers sank into the quicksand became a bit faster.

"Could it be that our army is going to be wiped out today?!" Liu Er couldn't help but feel despair.

"If we are going to be wiped out sooner or later, we might as well go out now and kill to our heart's content!" Zhang Hei gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing a fierce light.

Guan Hong had a cold expression: "Since the situation is hard to change, we might as well take a risk and charge."

If they did this, the number of casualties among these soldiers would probably be very huge, but the three generals seemed to have no other choice.

"Three generals, do not worry, just watch me display my methods." At the critical moment, a young cultivator walked out of the carriage box.

It was Unlike Ning Zhuo!

On his right was the Heavy-Armored Blood Ape, Dasheng, and on his left was the Buddha Doctor, Meng Yaoyin.

The mechanical swimming dragon was no longer on Unlike Ning Zhuo's waist; Sun Lingtong had already quietly moved far away from this army.

Unlike Ning Zhuo took out his military advisor's small seal, using his mind for two purposes, while driving the small seal and casting spells.

Earth-Walking—Solidify Sand and Consolidate Earth!

He was an organized military advisor, enjoying the national defense of the Two-Note Kingdom and the blessing of the Triangular Arrow Formation. The battle formation itself could increase the offensive, making his spells very sharp.

Immediately, with Unlike Ning Zhuo as the center, a yellow wind was stirred up.

The yellow wind blew, and wherever it went, the flowing sand condensed and returned to solid ground.

The Golden Core cultivator Luo Xiwei himself had to contend with the national defense, so the actual power of his spells had already been reduced a lot. He had been casting spells to attack for a short while, and having suffered the backlash of national might, his combat power was rapidly declining.

Conversely, Unlike Ning Zhuo received the blessing and was like a fish in water.

Between one advance and one retreat, Unlike Ning Zhuo's spells actually kept winning, making Luo Xiwei's spells retreat steadily.

After a while, the ground of the Three Generals Camp had already returned to normal!

"It's that Unlike Ning Zhuo!" Chen Lingfeng looked down from a high position, overlooking the battlefield, and after seeing this scene, he felt some resentment.

"Wu Hen chose wrong."

"He attacked the three generals but failed to kill one. It would have been better to concentrate his power and attack Unlike Ning Zhuo instead."

Luo Xiwei also felt it was a pity: "I was about to succeed! I didn't expect Unlike Ning Zhuo to have mastered a spell specifically targeting me; this luck is too good."

He did not know that this was because Unlike Ning Zhuo had observed for a while, learned the principles in his quicksand spell, and then went against the grain, temporarily creating a usage.

"It's him!" Wu Hen saw Unlike Ning Zhuo, and his heart stirred.

When he snuck into the carriage and saw Unlike Ning Zhuo for the first time, he had a premonition that this young cultivator would be a trouble.

Now, his premonition had come true!

Wu Hen's five fingers suddenly curled inward, and countless shadow silks were moved by him, attacking Unlike Ning Zhuo from all directions.

"Protect the military advisor!" Liu Er shouted.

Without a doubt, Unlike Ning Zhuo was the key to defense!

Guan Hong was in a further position, and Zhang Hei had already moved, rushing toward Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Facing thousands of shadow silks, Unlike Ning Zhuo remained unmoved.

The Buddha Doctor, Meng Yaoyin, swung her arm lightly, and the mechanical scythe circled in the air, then stopped lightly and returned to its original position.

Whoosh!

Like the sound of a tide hitting a reef, thousands of shadow silks disintegrated and collapsed completely.

Wu Hen's body shook, his complexion changed drastically, and blood overflowed from his mouth and nose: "What a powerful Night Rain Demon Soldier!"

The three generals Liu, Guan, and Zhang, who were paying attention to this scene, also felt a tremor in their hearts. Zhang Hei was the closest and even felt a chill on his neck.

The three generals were shocked, thinking that their military advisor actually possessed such a powerful Golden Core combat power!

"He seems even stronger than me."

"This... who is the main general?" Liu Er felt surprised while also feeling a trace of absurdity.
