Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2085 The Seven Western Mansions Gaze at the Heavenly Wolf, the First Fierce Warrior of the North and South

Although it refers to Sun Wukong during the time of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and the Victorious Fighting Buddha, it is not the Sun Wukong during the time of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

However, this is still a top-tier high-level divine general.

Therefore, Wang Yu became increasingly looking forward to this summons.

"Ding, the second person, Hector, strength 106."

Both encyclopedias and movies often compare Achilles and Hector, referring to them as fated rivals.

However, if you read the Iliad carefully, you will find that the relationship between Achilles and Hector is more like that of a lion and a lamb, and there is no comparability between them.

Hector, though a prominent and iconic figure, was not as invincible as Achilles.

Among the allied forces, there were several figures who could rival him.

The reason he seemed invincible and powerful in the early stages was not simply due to his own ability, but rather the arrangement of fate.

However, although Hector could not compare to Achilles, as a prominent figure on one side of the war, he was still an undeniably skilled warrior.

Before Ajax went into battle, no one could withstand Hector's spear. To defend against his spear, Ajax made a seven-layered bronze shield. Hector threw his spear and pierced through six layers. Then Ajax threw his spear and wounded Hector.

Despite being wounded, Hector remained incredibly brave and fought Ajax for a long time without a clear victor. The two eventually developed a mutual respect, with Hector gifting Ajax a sword and Ajax reciprocating by giving Hector a belt.

Before Achilles officially went into battle, although the gods played a role, it must be said that Hector was almost a nightmare for the allied forces during this period.

"Ding, the third person, Yellow Robe (Yellow Robe Monster), strength 107."

Relying solely on brute force, he fought Sun Wukong for fifty or sixty rounds without a clear victor, which secretly pleased Sun Wukong with his skills and weapons.

Afterwards, Sun Wukong deliberately revealed a flaw, and the Yellow Robe Monster, unaware of the trap, was struck on the head by Sun Wukong's staff and then disappeared without a trace.

The fact that he fought Sun Wukong alone is enough to show that among the many rare demon kings, the Yellow Robe Monster is almost second to none, second only to the likes of the Bull Demon King, Six-Eared Demon King, and Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon King, who can fight Sun Wukong to a standstill.

In his battles with the other members of the pilgrimage team besides Sun Wukong, he also fully demonstrated his abilities.

When the Yellow Robe Monster first fought Pigsy and Sandy, they fought for thirty rounds without a clear winner. This was because Pigsy and Sandy were aided by the Six Ding and Six Jia, the Five Directions Jiedi, the Four Duty Officers, and eighteen Dharma Protectors. In terms of skill, let alone two monks, even twenty of them couldn't defeat that demon.

While there may be some exaggeration involved, it is enough to show that the Yellow Robe Monster's strength far surpasses that of Pigsy and Sandy.

During their fight, the two jumped into the air and fought. After eight or nine rounds, the White Dragon Horse was no match for the White Dragon Horse and had to flee injured.

It's no wonder that Journey to the West has given rise to countless conspiracy theories, after all, there are just too many suspicious points in the story.

Before descending to the mortal realm, the Yellow Robe Monster was merely one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations. However, after descending, he brutally beat up all those who dared to defy him. During Sun Wukong's rampage in the Heavenly Palace, even when all the Twenty-Eight Constellations were combined, they showed no presence whatsoever.

Even a master like Wang Lingguan was forced to appear and fight Sun Wukong only at the very end.

Besides the fact that these immortals showed impressive combat power in the early and later stages, how many of the monsters in the eighty-one tribulations were actually the mounts of those immortals?

However, during the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, not a single one of them came out!
Moreover, if the mounts are like this, does that mean the gods who are their masters are even less powerful than their mounts?
But how did he behave during the havoc in Heaven?

Not only that, during the process of the eighty-one tribulations, of all the magical treasures that shone brightly, only Laozi's bracelet made an appearance during the havoc in the Heavenly Palace. The rest seemed to have disappeared during Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Even that bracelet was used to smash people, unlike the Green Ox Demon who could store anything inside.

"Ding, fourth person, Patroclus, strength 105."

Patroclus, though not a major character in Greek mythology, made his debut at the peak of his career. He decisively defeated the Trojan army, killed Zeus's son Sarpedon, and was no less valiant than Diomedes at the beginning of the book.

However, the latter was invulnerable to weapons under Athena's blessing, while Patroclus was led step by step by Zeus to his destined death.

The duel between Patroclus and Hector, fought by men and armies together, lasted from morning till night without a clear victor. They were evenly matched until Apollo intervened.

Patroclus's death can be seen as a plot device, or even a "fateful" one. It was Apollo's intervention—striking him unconscious, stripping him of his armor, and breaking his weapons—that led to his demise.

At least before divine intervention, their battle was always evenly matched.

Therefore, Patroclus, Achilles' friend, was almost on par with Hector in terms of strength. Even if he might be slightly inferior in terms of specific strength, the difference was definitely not that great.

"Ding, the fifth person, Gao Ang, strength 106."

Gao Ang was undoubtedly one of the top masters of his time. He was hailed as "Xiang Yu reborn" and "the fiercest general of the Northern and Southern Dynasties," which are the praises given to him by his contemporaries and later generations.

Erzhu Rong entered Luoyang and seized power in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Not long after, he was lured and killed by Emperor Xiaozhuang of Northern Wei. Upon hearing the news, the Erzhu family raised troops in various places and besieged Luoyang.

During the chaos of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Gao Aocao, who had just been released, was grateful for Emperor Xiaozhuang's kindness. He personally donned armor and took up arms, leading his troops, along with his nephew Gao Changming and others, in a valiant advance. After this battle, Gao Aocao's fame greatly increased.

Erzhu Yusheng led 5000 troops to attack Xindu. In this battle, Gao Aocao did not have time to put on his armor, so he led more than ten riders to meet the enemy and successfully defeated Erzhu Yusheng, who led an army of 5,000.

In ancient history, such a battle with such a huge disparity in strength was very rare. This means that Gao Aocao created a record during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, thus laying the foundation for his achievements to rival those of Xiang Yu.

After all, there aren't many who dare to charge into an enemy army without even wearing full armor.

The armor worn by those fierce generals of ancient times played a significant role in their ability to earn a reputation for bravery in history books.

In ancient warfare, whether a soldier wore armor or not was a completely different matter. Similarly, whether a general wore armor or not was also a completely different matter.

"System, remove Patroclus and Hector, and summon from the remaining three: Gao Gao, Huang Pao, and Sun Wukong."

Of the five, Patroclus had the lowest basic combat strength, so he was naturally the first to be eliminated.

Although both a base strength of 105 and 106 are considered beginner-level divine generals, the actual strength of one depends on the specific circumstances of the battle.

However, at least 106 is more qualified to challenge for the mid-level Divine General rank than 105. As for Gao Ang and Hector, who are roughly equal in skill, Wang Yu naturally prefers Gao Ang, who is also from the East.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Yellow Robe (Yellow Robe Monster), with Command 71, Martial Strength 107, Intelligence 61, Politics 51, and Charisma 57."

Carry: a steel-dipped knife and a relic-shaped inner elixir.

Carrying: Baihua Xiu.

Implanted identity: General Zhongcang.

Although it's not the stronger Sun Wukong, summoning the Yellow Robe is still acceptable.

After all, the Twenty-Eight Mansions is also a set of ultimate combo skills. Investiture of the Gods, Journey to the West, Water Margin, plus local works, all have something to do with the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

Even if we still can't gather them all, it might not be impossible if we just want to gather the seven western constellations.

After all, Wang Yu also has Xue Rengui, the White Tiger, under his command. With Xue Rengui around, he can replace someone in this combination technique.

"Ding, the host has accumulated five summons. Balance is in progress..."

During the southern campaign, Wang Yu had already initiated four summons, summoning Wang Hai and three others.

Therefore, after being summoned once more, the balance was immediately restored.

"Ding, the number one balancer, Flavius ​​Chiracli, Command 100, Strength 105, Intelligence 91, Politics 98, Charisma 97."

Implanted identity: Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Rome.

Flavius ​​Heraclius is remembered for his exceptional political talent and military reforms. He was not only the founder of the Heraclionic dynasty but also a pivotal figure in the turbulent Eastern Roman Empire.

Heraclius displayed exceptional military talent and leadership skills from a young age. His father, Heraclius Barbatos, was a renowned general, which laid the foundation for his later rise to prominence.

In 610 AD, Heraclius staged a coup in Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, overthrowing Emperor Phocas and ascending the throne as the new ruler of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Chirac's rise to power was not accidental, but the result of careful planning. He took advantage of the political turmoil and public discontent at the time, successfully won the support of the army, and quickly seized power.

During Heraclius' reign, the Eastern Roman Empire faced a dual threat from the Persian Empire and Arab powers.

Against this backdrop, he realized that military reforms were necessary to strengthen the empire's defenses.

In addition, Chirac implemented the "soldier-peasant" policy, encouraging soldiers to engage in agricultural production during their spare time. This not only enhanced the army's self-sufficiency but also increased the soldiers' loyalty.

Chirac, besides being a military strategist and a politician, was undoubtedly a standout in the West in terms of personal courage and strength.

During Heraclius's reign, wars between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Persian Empire continued unabated.

In the Battle of the Salus River, 2 Roman soldiers were surrounded and attacked from both sides by Persian cavalry in the valley. The Eastern Roman Emperor Heraclius rushed to their aid, personally leading the charge and killing several Persian generals. After seizing the bridge, Heraclius launched an attack from the rear, turning the tide of the battle for the Roman legions.

In early 625, Heraclius staged the miracle of the Battle of Sarhu ahead of schedule, defeating the three Persian armies, numbering over 100,000, one by one, and winning the Battle of the Caucasus.

Heraclius' victory did not mean that the Roman soldiers' return to Constantinople would be unimpeded. The Persian general Shahbalez rallied his defeated troops, regained his strength, and continued the pursuit of the Roman legions.

Shahbalez, a renowned Sasanian Persian general, was a skilled strategist, particularly fond of ambushes. His disastrous defeat in the Caucasus campaign was largely due to intelligence provided by Roman spies, allowing Heraclius to stage a successful counterattack.

Subsequently, a series of battles with Persia all ended in Heraclius' victory.

In a series of battles against Persia, Emperor Heraclius personally led the charge on numerous occasions, wielding his sword to kill many Persian generals. His personal involvement as emperor often greatly boosted the morale of the Roman legions.

In the 630s AD, Islam rose rapidly in the Arabian Peninsula, and Muhammad's followers began to expand outwards, posing a new threat to the Eastern Roman Empire.

Although Heraclius won the war against Persia, the empire's strength had been weakened by the long war and internal turmoil.

Especially in his later years, Heraclius encountered even stronger opponents, suffering crushing defeats at the Battle of Ejñadénez and the Battle of Yarmouk, where he was overwhelmed by the famous Abbasid general Khalid, and the Roman legions suffered more than 60,000 casualties.

The rise of Khalid was a misfortune for Heraclius, and even more so for Rome.

Heraclius's encounter with Khalid was like Emperor Wu of Liang encountering Hou Jing, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang encountering An Lushan, and King Muhammad of Khwarazm encountering Genghis Khan—all ended in disastrous defeats and their deaths in despair.

This battle not only led to the fall of Syria and Palestine, but also posed an unprecedented challenge to Chirac's rule.

"Ding, the second person, Master (Ever Night World), martial arts, peak of the Celestial Realm."

Implanted identity: A person from the Kingdom of Lu, Gu Qingzhu's junior brother and Fu Yue's junior brother.

Bringing: Li Zhongyi, Ning Que, Xiahou, Xia Tian, ​​the Drunkard, the Butcher, Xiong Chumo, and the Head Lecturer.

As the undisputed foremost of the Hundred Schools of Thought, Confucianism is flourishing ever since.

Even though the system's emergence balanced a large number of figures across the various schools of thought during the Hundred Schools of Thought period, among them were many influential figures.

However, none of these have been able to shake the current status of Confucianism.

To put it bluntly, anyone with a heart for the world can bypass any of the various schools of thought from the Hundred Schools of Thought, but they cannot bypass Confucianism.

There's no other reason than that there are too many talented Confucian scholars.

If you don't recruit even one Confucian talent, it's almost equivalent to losing nearly half the talent in the world.

Therefore, which person who cares about the world can completely sever ties with Confucianism?
