Chapter 229: Battle Formation of Four Dimensions, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger
“Not good!”
After the Yue Army established a battle formation, their suddenly increased speed was apparently out of the Yuan people’s expectation.
Supposedly, it would’ve taken more than five minutes for the cavalrymen to cover the distance between Xiangyang City and the royal palace of Yuan even during the charge.
By the estimation of Yuan’s commander who was on duty, his army was well-trained enough to be gathered before the riders of Xiangyang City arrived.
However, there wasn’t enough time at all!
It was because, after only several seconds, the Yue Army that was vaguely covered by the shadow of the Gold-Winged Eagle had already reached a stone’s throw away from the Yuan camps!
“Shoot! Shoot! Don’t let them come close!”
The commander changed his expression and gave an order.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
About three hundred Yuan archers, who were standing on the towers in the camps, shot their arrows at the Xiangyang riders who were vaguely covered in the image of the bright golden eagle!
“Change formation into Black Tortoise!”
However, the moment before the Xiangyang riders reached “one stone’s throw” away, a black light radiated from the book of unknown materials in the hands of their commander. While the riders were charging, they were all covered by vague illusions of tortoises and snakes!
It was Black Tortoise, a variation of the Battle Formation of Four Dimensions that could grant powerful defense on the whole army!
Black Tortoise belonged to water, which was the gentlest of all matters, yet it could often suppress the matters that were hard.
The charging Xiangyang riders were instantly covered in water-like Extraordinary power.
The arrows that came at them like a storm were like rainwaters. .h.i.tting the ocean. Their speed plummeted.
Of course, same as the Gold-Winged Eagle Formation, the complete version of the Battle Formation of Four Dimensions was Transcendent too and required at least ten thousand men. The current version was also a weakened one.
But it was already good enough. At the very least, the storm of arrows that Yuan sent out, after being weakened, was blocked by the fine armor on the Yue Army that protected all their vitals when the arrows. .h.i.t them. None of them were killed.
Only the heavy attacks such as those from slings and the ballistae were able to knock down a few soldiers of the Yue army.
The riders were charging so fast that those attacks, which were so slow, couldn’t be launched for a second time before the Yue Army reached the royal palace of Yuan!
“Roar!”
In the next moment, a dragon roar echoed, and the leader of the riders held the book with one hand and waved his other hand forward.
The sand and stones rolled crazily on the ground and turned into a yellow dragon that was almost substantial, roaring and flying towards the Yuan camps!
“Was it a battle formation of yellow dragons?”
Of course not. It was “Dragon Rages”, the most destructive move in the Dragon-Subduing Strike!
It was naturally Guo Jing himself who was leading the thousand soldiers of the “Yue Army”.
He was also the only one who had retained his Transcendent knowledge and could carry out the power in the Book of Wumu perfectly.
Boom, boom, boom…
The obstacles, traps, and gates that the Yuan people had set up as defenses were all crushed and razed by the dragon-shaped force that pushed forward with roiling mud!
The thousand elite riders from Xiangyang City broke into the Yuan camps and aimed at where the Yuan emperor lived.
“Hurry and stop them!”
The Yuan commander changed his expression even more greatly and shouted to gather soldiers and stop the intruders.
The Yuan emperor was very brutal. As the general responsible for the defense of the front camps, he would be severely punished along with his companions if the thousand Song riders reached the main camp!
“Change formation into White Tiger!”
However, the Book of Wumu flashed again in Guo Jing’s hands, and the illusion of a ferocious white tiger dashed out.
It was White Tiger, another variation of the Battle Formation of Four Dimensions!
White Tiger came from the west. It was gold in nature and represented war and conquest!
Covered in the power of the battle formation, everyone’s weapons were wreathed in a sheen of white light, which allowed them to cut the tents, flags, and even weapons and s.h.i.+elds of the Yuan soldiers as easily as if they were cutting melons.
Even though the Yuan people were trying their best to stop the intruders, even at the cost of their own lives, they were unable to stop the thousand riders!
“Such a powerful battle formation… The Book of Wumu definitely has stats higher than other Transcendent items!”
Ji Ye, who was dressed exactly the same as the rest of the Yue Army and covered his face with a helmet, remarked with mixed feelings.
He had witnessed Black Mountain’s battle formation on the Battlefield of Providence last time. The Black Mountain Soldiers who had been weakened to Ordinary were able to stop him and Lu Zhishen after they were arranged into a battle formation.
Back then, there were only thirty Black Mountain Soldiers!
At this moment, a thousand soldiers of the Yue Army were charging, and their inner strength had all reached Extraordinary thanks to Guo Jing and Huang Rong’s teaching.
They were also boosted by the Book of Wumu. How powerful would the battle formation that they set up be?
Altogether, ten thousand men were stationed in these camps, and they were all veterans.
However, faced with the Yue Army that had established a battle formation, they could not stop the thousand riders at all with traps, trenches, or their own flesh and blood!
The soul power that the dead Yuan soldiers dispersed all melted into Ji Ye’s body.
Or to be more precise, it melted into the Soul Slasher inside his body, increasing the power of the weapon’s next attack.
“Roar!”
Guo Jing unleashed a dragon-shaped force from more than thirty meters away with the Dragon-Subduing Strike, knocking away the dozen Yuan soldiers who were holding s.h.i.+elds in his way.
At this moment, the Yue Army had already surpa.s.sed the front camps and reached the middle camps.
“Move aside!”
All of a sudden, a voice echoed in the main camp of Yuan.
Hum!
After that, an invisible sound arrow was shot out and hit the dragon-shaped force that was still pressing on after knocking a dozen soldiers away.
Boom!
As the force dispersed and the ears of the soldiers around bled, both the two powerful attacks were obliterated.
Naturally, the Yuan emperor had a special unit, exactly like the kings did.
His special unit was made of soldiers that were selected from hundreds of thousands of soldiers. They were protected by the armor that was made of the best materials and was highly st.u.r.dy. They were all above Extraordinary Rank-5. They were known as Iron Buddhas.
Those Iron Buddhas didn’t even take off their armor even when they were sleeping. They had already gathered up, each holding a tall s.h.i.+eld. Gray air emerged from those s.h.i.+elds and connected all of them, establis.h.i.+ng an iron wall in front of the royal camp of Yuan.
Clearly, it was some sort of “battle formation” too.
If those of the Yue Army who were attacking in a formation were the unstoppable spears on the battlefield, then the Iron Buddhas would obviously be the most solid s.h.i.+elds on this battlefield!
Which would be more powerful, the s.h.i.+eld or the spear?
Of course, the result depended on the confrontation between the sharpest tip of the spear and the hardest part of the s.h.i.+eld.
“Roar… Roar…”
Guo Jing, during the charge, waved both hands and patted the wall made of the Iron Buddhas with the dragon-shaped force.
“Hum… Hum… Hum… Hum…”
The Yuan emperor, who was riding the Celestial Wolf King that was fully covered in iron armor, stretched his Sonic Bow continuously and shot out dozens of invisible sonic arrows in a row.
The Sonic Bow, a special treasure that the Yuan emperor boasted, could initiate an onslaught of a hundred arrows by s.h.i.+vering the bowstring and triggering soundwaves.
Boom!
The wall of the Iron Buddhas was partly broken by the combined forces of the two moves of the Dragon-Subduing Strike.
Pew… Pew… Pew… Pew…
Under the Yuan emperor’s barrage, dozens of soldiers of the Yue army fell to the ground.
However, it was impossible for the Yuan emperor to shoot a hundred arrows anymore.
That was because Guo Jing, after breaking through the iron wall, had simply slapped him.
“Roar!”
In a dragon roar, mud surged from the ground. It was exactly “Dragon Rages”.
Hum!
The Yuan emperor fully stretched out his Sonic Bow, and the arrow that he released in the next moment blocked Guo Jing’s Dragon-Subduing Strike again!
“Huh?”
However, the Yuan emperor’s expression changed greatly in the next second.
It was because another invisible dragon-shaped force rose from underneath his mount exactly when he destroyed the first dragon-shaped force with the sonic arrow.
Guo Jing had launched two moves at the same time with Left and Right Inter-fighting!
Whoos.h.!.+
However, this move, “Hidden Dragon Rises From the Abyss”, missed the Yuan emperor.
It was because the Celestial Wolf King, as an Extraordinary Rank-7 mount, had remarkable senses and jumped to the sky as a gray shadow, avoiding the invisible dragon force from the ground.
As its name suggested, the Celestial Wolf King was capable of walking in the sky.
Together with the Yuan emperor’s “Sonic Bow”, he would be invincible if he got to the sky, unless the enemy was capable of flying too.
Was anyone in the Yue Army capable of flying?
Of course there was!
“Roar!”
When the Celestial Wolf King rose to the sky to dodge the attack, a person who was stepping on white Dragon Aura soared too.
Whoos.h.!.+
Ji Ye, who was wearing the regular clothes of the Yue Army, was fully burning his Flood Dragon Blood, while the Sea Stone on his chest released immense oceanic waves. He raised the Yellow Mallet that was glowing and expanding and smashed it at the Yuan emperor who was on the Celestial Wolf King’s back!
“You!”
It was undoubtedly beyond the Yuan emperor’s expectation!
However, as a top expert, his reaction was very fast.
He loosened the Sonic Bow that had only been half stretched and released it at Ji Ye!
Pa!
However, because of the Yellow Mallet’s Transcendent ability of destruction, the arrow that the Sonic Bow condensed had been shattered before it reached Ji Ye.
The Yellow Mallet then smashed on, resulting in a cracking sound on the Sonic Bow that contained Transcendent power. Then, having already grown larger than the Yuan emperor, the Yellow Mallet continued and hit him hard with the magnificent power boosted by the Flood Dragon Blood!
