Chapter 519: Flame Battle Formation

Luoning and Ruidar fought from the sky to the ground, and then from the ground back to the sky, continuing for a very long time.

Beyond their contest in battle techniques, the two also had a comprehensive clash in close-quarters combat.

Looking at the overall picture, although Ruidar's combat experience was still higher than Luoning's, Luoning had already steadily gained the upper hand by relying on the strengthening of two types of Extreme Origin Power, as well as the investment of over twenty thousand Attribute Points.

If the two were to attack each other with their strongest finishing moves, Luoning should be able to win.

"That wasn't easy!"

As Luoning and Ruidar walked side by side back to Miwu City, he couldn't help but sigh: "Ever since I summoned you, my overall level has been suppressed by you the whole time; today, I can finally reverse this situation!"

Ruidar also felt a wave of emotion, "I had long expected that such a day would come. Although I am not very clear about the specifics of your strength improvement, your combat intuition and talent are the highest I have ever seen in my life. As long as the gap in our strength widens, it is expected that you would surpass me!"

The improvement of strength can rely on adding points, but combat intuition and technique must rely on one's own practice.

In who knows how many sparring sessions, Luoning's level had already become very high.

"Ruidar, after we return this time, keep the news of you becoming a Legendary secret for now. However, your Flame Battle Formation can be passed down, so that the knights in the Knight Order can master it as soon as possible."

Luoning instructed: "The Flame Expeditionary Army of your past life set out from the Orland Continent to head to the Xinyue Continent to fight against the Demon God; it is estimated that you will experience such a situation again in this life. Therefore, we should cultivate a more powerful army early on so that we can deal with it in the future."

Ruidar agreed deeply.

Don't look at how their enemy now is the Telixiya Kingdom and the Holy Storm Organization on the opposite side; if one casts their gaze further, their ultimate enemy is still the Demon God on the Xinyue Continent who has not been completely eradicated.

Luoning is now at the Legendary Realm and is destined not to be able to stay out of it. He will either be assimilated by the Demon God and reduced to a lackey, or he will rise up to resist and seek a glimmer of survival.

Luoning clearly chose the latter.

Ruidar introduced: "The Flame Battle Formation is in groups of three; although it does not require them to be of the same level, it requires them to be within the same major tier."

Every three levels is a major tier, such as Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced.

"Then there are many knights in my territory who meet the requirements for learning this formation."

"Yes!"

Ruidar laughed: "Once they successfully master it, even if the number of knights under your command remains the same, you can achieve a surge in combat power! Advanced Knights can briefly exert power comparable to Bronze Knights, and Bronze Knights can briefly obtain Silver Grade power."

Simply put, it allows knights to fight above their rank.

"What do I need to provide?" Luoning asked.

Ruidar said: "Mastering this formation, besides requiring them to undergo massive training, also requires some medicine to transform their bodies and assist them in cultivating tacit understanding more easily."

Luoning had a bit of a headache, "Is it special medicinal herbs?"

"That's not it; they are all relatively common Magic Potions. The rarity is definitely lower than the Enhancement Potion and Awakening Potion developed by Aierlong. However, purchasing them in large quantities requires a certain amount of financial support."

"Haha, is that all you were worried about?"

Luoning couldn't help but laugh; as long as it's a matter of money, then it's not a problem.

"I will notify Blanche and Chaha'er; if you need anything, just find either of them."

This kind of investment is equivalent to national defense spending; in these chaotic times, it cannot be skimped on.

"Many thanks for your support, my lord!"

Ruidar said gratefully: "If the supplies are fully prepared, give me half a year, and I will definitely be able to train the first batch of battle formation squads!"

"Go ahead and do it!"

Luoning encouraged him.

"In addition, after Hameng collects intelligence on the true strength of Yan Yi and Selandier, we will see if there is an opportunity to decapitate them."

Judging from this battle at Miwu City, Yan Yi and Selandier clearly placed Luoning on their must-kill list.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have let Aruba lead so many people to surround and kill Luoning, even going so far as to let strongholds like the Watchtower serve as cannon fodder.

With such careful planning, the two of them did not appear directly; the reasons behind this are nothing more than two points.

Either the other side felt that Aruba and the others were enough to deal with Luoning and didn't need to take action themselves;

Or they did not have the certainty of successfully killing Luoning and were worried about following in Mofisite's footsteps, so they did not appear on the battlefield.

Luoning felt that the latter was more likely.

So when he and Ruidar both became Legendary, he thought about decapitating these two first to prevent the enemy forces from expanding, and then, while honing the army, steadily advance toward Dragon City.

"I understand!"

Ruidar thought for a moment and added: "If we are to decapitate them, since it is on enemy territory, we need to be fully prepared. Therefore, I suggest that your grandfather, Lord Lulansi, Ximeng, Maiken, Peiteluo, Pulaxiduo, Meilongnika, and others should be arranged to join."

Luoning pondered slightly; these are all reliable people. Regardless of whether they will be useful after training, increasing one's own strength is always a good thing.

However, the burden on Ximeng's shoulders is very heavy, and Luoning did not want to easily pull him away.

"You go and prepare the necessary medicinal herbs; I will handle the matter of these few people."

The next day, Ruidar had the Deputy Commander go to collect the medicinal herbs, while he and Maiken began to divide all the knights under the Knight Order and even Luoning's command into groups of three, preparing for the practice of the formation.

Luoning first went to the Watchtower to have Pulaxiduo go to Miwu City for intensive training, and then went to Wushan Castle to inform Lulansi about this matter.

The latter had previously mentioned wanting to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and carve out a piece of land for the future Kingdom of the Wushan Family, so he naturally supported Luoning very much in this matter and agreed without any hesitation.

In fact, if possible, he even wanted Luoning to spread the Flame Battle Formation within the Wushan Territory Knight Order.

To this, Luoning also readily agreed.

Finally, he went to the Wubei Territory to see what Ximeng thought.

Although this guy is a Silver Moon Knight, he is currently immersed in the industrialization blueprint drawn by Luoning and is indeed not very interested in fighting.

Moreover, in the last two months, he had already begun preparing for matters related to the start of the railway construction; if he left now, it would undoubtedly cause all the personnel and construction schedules that had been arranged to be shelved, wasting time.

Because of this, Luoning did not force Ximeng to come over for intensive training.

Once a person gets busy, they feel that time passes very quickly.

And so, in the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth of December, and the deadline for the truce had arrived.

The Telixiya Kingdom did not send anyone to continue extending the truce date, and at the same time, there were no signs of a large-scale attack on Miwu City.

According to the intelligence passed on by Hameng, Luoning learned that the newly enthroned King Tailuo had only deployed heavy troops in the Moer Earldom, a large city a hundred miles south of Miwu City, and had set up a defensive posture.

Since the other side had no intention of attacking, Luoning did not take the initiative to strike.

On one hand, it was due to the timing; after all, it was freezing cold right now, which was not suitable for a large-scale march.

On the other hand, the New Year celebration was only a dozen days away, and he saw no need to wage a major war during such a festive time for the players.

Furthermore, the intelligence brought by Hameng contained one important piece of information—

The founder of the Holy Storm, Flame Envoy Yanyi, had recently displayed "divine might" to attract more believers, and his strength was suspected to be Legendary.

At the same time, the strength of Storm Envoy Selandier was also not low.

This piece of intelligence had both pros and cons for Luoning.

The good part was that he had found the target he needed to kill to complete the King of Slaughter achievement.

The bad part was that the decapitation plan might need to be shelved for now; with the opponent having a Legendary, carrying out a decapitation operation inside their base was a bit too risky.

The end of the year.

In previous years during the New Year celebration, the weather in Jinyu City was usually bright, but this year it was overcast.

A luxurious motorcade slowly drove into Jinyu Palace, and the tall, sturdy Knight in the lead looked up at the sky, somewhat dazed.

"It's actually snowing."

Jialete raised his head, and his parted hair revealed his forehead, where there was a faint golden mark. (End of this chapter)
